Backwaters of Kerala and House boats

Unread post by sury »

We took a over night trip on the back waters of Allepey in Kerala. These backwaters are
very famous for their house boats (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala_backwaters)
We had the boat exclusively for us (it is a 1 bed room boat house and here are the views we
enjoyed on that trip.

This one is a 4 bed room boat house.

Thank you Jeff, Andy and Henry. It was a blast. This is the first time I took
my travel bag (i.e. 70-400, HVL58 and assorted filters) with me.
