CHAMPAKULAM

                        Champakulam is one such village with its own charm. It is situated on the banks of the Pampa River in the Alappuzha district, a region with picturesque scenery owing to the expanses of cultivated rice and coconut fields that surround it. The precinct has historical prominence; this is the venue of the oldest tradition of the state, the Champakulam moolam boat race. Champakulam, among all its other merits, also appeals to one's sense of sightseeing. The famous church in India, the Champakulam Church, is also situated here. This church has been very popular tourist-wise and has endured many changes over the years that have further added to its cultural significance. Also, somewhere in this area, a workshop produces wooden carved images of the Lord Jesus Christ and sells them across different countries. .
