How To Reach Vayalar Boat Club
Kumarakom, Kerala, India
The Vayalar Boat Club is a prominent center for the traditional boat racing culture that defines the spirit of Alappuzha and the surrounding backwaters. Located in the historic village of Vayalar, this club is more than just a sports organization; it is a community hub where the ancient art of buil ding and rowing "Chundan Vallams" (Snake Boats) is preserved. The village of Vayalar itself is steeped in history, known for its revolutionary past, but the boat club brings a different kind of energy—one of camaraderie and athletic prowess. The club is actively involved in training rowers for prestigious events like the Nehru Trophy Boat Race. Visitors to the club can often see the long, majestic snake boats docked in their sheds (Vallappura), which are architectural wonders in themselves. The craftsmanship involved in maintaining these boats, made from "Anjili" wood, is a meticulous process passed down through generations. During the racing season, the atmosphere around the club becomes electric as hundreds of rowers practice in unison to the rhythmic beats of "Vanchippattu" (boat songs). This location offers a raw and authentic look at Kerala's backwater life, away from the highly commercialized tourist spots. It is a place where you can see the local youth dedicating their time to keeping a centuries-old tradition alive. For travelers, it provides an opportunity to learn about the physics of boat design and the intense physical training required to navigate these 100-foot-long vessels. The proximity to the Vayalar Rakthasakshi Mandapam also adds a layer of historical significance to the visit. :
