Which city is best known for hosting the International Boat Racing Championship in India?
Alappuzha, Kerala
Alappuzha (Alleppey) in Kerala is famous for its backwaters and for the Nehru Trophy Boat Race held on the Punnamada Lake every August, where long snake boats (chundan vallams) compete.
The race began in 1952 after Jawaharlal Nehru's visit, and Alappuzha is often called the Venice of the East for its network of canals and boat culture.
Cochin is a port city, Guwahati lies on the Brahmaputra and Mumbai is a coastal metropolis, but none of them is known for hosting this boat-racing event.
Hence, the answer is Alappuzha, Kerala.
