INTRODUCTION TO KERALA BOAT RACE OR VALLOMKALI
The Nehru trophy Alleppey snake boat race that
falls annually on the second Saturday of August is a world famous boat race
that still retains its amateur status. While other historic, traditional sports
events similar to the Kerala boat race has turned wholly commercial over recent
times, this unique Alappuzha boat race spectacle still retains its vibrant
village festival spirit.
Among the many boat races held through the
Kerala boat race season, the Nehru trophy boat race is the most popular.
Thousands of locals, domestic and International tourists flock to Alleppey,
Kerala for this particular race.
The Kerala snake boat race is reputed to be the
largest team sport in the world. Over 100 rovers, drummers, cheer chanters are
on board the only in Alappuzha built 'chundan' valloms for the Kerala
vallamkali.
History of Johnson's event for the Nehru trophy boat race.
Johnson Gilbert, tourism entrepreneur, based in
Alleppey, Kerala runs a successful homestay and houseboat business over the
last fifteen years.
9 years ago, after listening to complaints from
his in house guests of the inconveniences on attending the Nehru trophy boat
races, Johnson decided to tailor his alternative hassle free package for the
tourists who visit Alleppey to watch the Kerala boat race. To this end, he
custom designed an exclusive event, in which his guests watch the race from the
comfort and safety of a houseboat.
As thousands of tourists visit Alappuzha for the
race, Johnson decided to arrange accommodation for the tourists and combine it
with his Kerala snake boat race package. Next, he included houseboat stays as a
natural extension of his Nehru trophy boat race event. Every year, Johnson
utilizes his experience to usher in key changes for the convenience of his
guests. One such important facility is the opportunity for his guests to reach
the race later than the specified time or to leave early. This is an important
arrangement as in case of an emergency, his guests can leave any time they
choose, at a nominal extra charge.
His first such Alleppey snake boat race event
was held in 2008 with about 40 guests. Now, the number of guests has risen to
more than 200.
The USP of his enterprise is that the guests are
offered an exclusive, uninterrupted view in the safety and comfort of a
houseboat. To and fro transportation is included, breakfast, lunch and hygienic
drinking water is included. And this year, Johnson, for the first time offers
an air conditioned houseboat for the discerning clientale. This is the only way
a tourist can watch the race in air conditioned comfort.
