Backwaters/ Kerala
One of the places I liked most in India!
Most of the travellers in Kerala want to stay for some days on a houseboat - driving through the backwaters (water channels that were built because of a tsunami hundreds of years ago). I didn’t do so because first it’s quite expensive compared to what I did and furthermore just too touristy for my taste!
Luckily the guidebooks also mention home stays in the middle of nowhere, quite far away from the main touristy villages. So I called them several times - telling them the price I’m willing to pay - so the guy phoned some friends and told me how I would find that place. So in Allepey/ Allapuzha I searched the governmental boat (transport medium) that would bring me there - a 2 hours Backwater tour for 10 Cents! Great! Travelling with locals, talking to them on the boat or just watching the passing countryside without being asked to buy whatever - I love it!
I was the only guest in my home stay - located right on the bank of one of the not touristy backwaters - and the family was so lovely!
