Witness Kerala at its most exhilarating – join us for a three-day water escape centred around the legendary Nehru Trophy Boat Race.

Based at Karma Chakra, this experience blends the serenity of the backwaters with the charged atmosphere of race day on Punnamada Lake, Alappuzha. Witness all the thrills and high-speed competition as hundreds of oarsmen power their iconic “snake boats” across the water in a thrilling display of precision, strength and speed.

With exclusive race viewing, a sunset houseboat cruise on Vembanad Lake and authentic regional dining throughout, it’s a seamless blend of culture, celebration and one of India’s most captivating sporting festivals.
