crowds, locals and tourists alike, would gather around to watch these 100 ft boats compete against each other with much fervor. As the onlookers anxiously wait for the boats to glide through the backwaters, a colorful water parade precedes the race.
The curled end of the boats resembles a cobra hood and it is from this resemblance of the shape that the name 'snake boat' is derived. Highly skilled artisans work diligently in crafting these boats to perfection.
Come witness the celebration as the tranquil backwaters of Aleppey change into fierce festive grounds.
