Good to know

• 🛶 The race: The President's Trophy is the final race of Kerala Tourism's Champions Boat League, season 6 — the league's top snake boats, each rowed by a crew of around a hundred. The course runs about 1,200 m from near Thevally to the KSRTC bus station and houseboat terminal; the banks near the finish fill early.
• 🚧 Roads & crowds: Police close roads around the venue on the main days. Your driver drops you at the nearest open point and you walk the last stretch. Agree a meeting point and time with the driver before you get out — phone networks jam in big crowds.
• 📅 Date: Kerala Tourism lists the race for Saturday 21 November 2026, closing CBL season 6. Boat-race dates can move — we re-confirm with you before the day.
• ☀️ On the bank: Afternoon sun off the water is harsh — carry a cap, umbrella and water. Keep children away from the water's edge and the jetty railings.
