When it comes to renting a houseboat there are many places to chose from and they'll most likely find you first as they flyer the crap out of you. Before your rent, tip the guy a few dollars and tell him you'll wait a day or two. This way he'll book your voyage with women, due to you being a lone traveler.

Anyway, depending on your budget, take your time and set it up correctly. View your house boat first, and only pay when you board. Some are old school Goan as others have big screen TV's and air conditioners. You'll want the air conditioned one because it keeps the bugs away when you sleep.

Also, you basically float down the river so if you see a riverside village that looks interesting, just tell them to pull over. All meals are provided and they're huge portions and made fresh when you want. Just be careful when you're eating freshwater crabs or the huge freshwater sweet prawns because odds are, you might be eating a dead Indian by proxy. I thought they were delicious!

Finally, most port village Indians will try to sell you hash. As your attorney I highly recommend this if it's mixed with opium. Nothing is better for a true traveler then floating down an Indian river as if you went back in time a 1000 years, baked on hash, full from great food, sliding into your third Scotch, Goan trance music, as you catch the sunset.
This Review Is Fucking Awesome!
