    Munroe Island - Snake Boat Race

    25 novembre 2023, Inde ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    „In Kerala's history, during the 13th-century war between the kingdoms of Kayamkulam and Chembakassery, King Devanarayana of Chembakassery sought to settle the feud through a boat competition between the rival kingdoms. King Devanarayana of Chembakassery ordered the construction of a war boat that was later named Chundan Vallam. The unique design of the boat was developed by a renowned carpenter at the time. In fact, the design and technical methods used in crafting these boats date back around eight centuries.

    Today's Kerala Boat Race continues this tradition, featuring massive Chundan Vallams gracefully gliding on water to celebrate unity and heritage in perfect synchronisation. Observing the sporting showcases by the participating teams will leave you in awe. It's estimated that each team spends several lakhs of rupees to prepare for the race, with funds allocated for rigorous training, design, and maintenance of the race boats. For these athletes, the race holds more significance than just a competition. It embodies a centuries-old tradition of their land that has evolved into an emotion—beyond winning, it's about pride and honour. Their reverence for their race boats is akin to worshipping deities.“    En savoir plus

    Aleppey - Canoeing

    27–30 nov. 2023, Inde ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Met my friends and travel buddies Tanja and Rene from Germany in Aleppey. They just started their world trip. We have 3 days together and wanna explore the Backwaters by canoe and scooter.

    The Backwaters…
    „The undisputed highlight of a trip to Kerala is travelling through the 900km network of waterways that fringe the coast and trickle inland. Long before the advent of roads, these waters were the slippery highways of Kerala, and many villagers still use paddle-power as their main form of transport. Trips through the backwaters traverse palm-fringed lakes studded with cantilevered Chinese fishing nets, and wind their way along narrow, shady canals where coir (coconut fibre), copra (dried coconut kernels) and cashews are loaded onto boats. Along the way are isolated villages where farming life continues as it has for eons.“    En savoir plus

    Mumbai (1-3)

    30 nov.–2 déc. 2023, Inde ⋅ 🌙 22 °C

    Mumbai is big. It’s full of dreamers and hard-labourers, starlets and gangsters, stray dogs and exotic birds, artists and servants and fisherfolk and crorepatis (millionaires) and lots and lots of other people. It has the most prolific film industry, some of Asia’s biggest slums (and the world’s most expensive home) and the largest tropical forest in an urban zone. It’s India’s financial powerhouse, fashion epicentre and a pulse point of religious tension. It’s evolved its own language, Bambaiyya Hindi, which is a mix of...everything.En savoir plus
