Snake-boat country
Nedumudy, Alleppey
Nedumudy is a Kuttanad village with rowing in its blood — the home water of famous snake boats — and a canal network quiet enough that houseboats choose it for overnight moorings east of town.
Village character
Where Kainakary is paddies, Nedumudy is boat sheds and village jetties. Snake-boat crews train on these channels in the months before the Nehru Trophy and the local festivals. It is deep Kuttanad, reached on 1–2 night houseboat routes or by road to its small board points.
Things to do
- Board or moor here on a Kuttanad houseboat route.
- Ask about snake-boat practice sessions near race season — timing is village-organised, so simply enquire locally.
- Canoe the side channels — canoeing.
- Pair with Champakulam for church and boat-race heritage on the same loop.
