2 nights in a floating luxury houseboat in Vembanad Lake

The first two rounds of the rapid event will be played at a floating houseboat in the Vembanadu Lake, the main attraction of the event. Just like the previous editions, the participants will be enthralled by the sights and sounds of the beautiful ambience of the houseboat, as it takes the participants around the vast expanse of the waterscape deep inside the state of Kerala, along the town of Alappuzha.

Unlike the previous years, this year the organization has made the stay of the participants in the houseboat itself for the first two nights, thus offering a unique experience of staying on floating water. Needless to stay, the houseboats are well equipped with a kitchen and staff to pamper the guests, apart from all amenities including air-conditioned rooms.

KTDC SAMUDRA - BEACHFRONT RESORT IN KOVALAM

The remaining six rounds of the tournament will take place at KTDC Samudra, the luxury beach resort set on the beautiful beach of Kovalam on the outskirts of Trivandrum city, a popular destination for holidaymakers.
