This is the way I prefer too as I have always believed in budget travel. And striking a conversation with the locals is the best way to garner local knowledge, that no website or book can provide. And to top it all, it is these rural places where you see the humility in the people. Their strong belief that 'Guest is God' and the levels they go to help out a tourist is truly admirable.Sankara Subramanian Chttp://www.beontheroad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624744958963134273.post-47600357909044476342010-09-30T12:36:40.573+05:302010-09-30T12:36:40.573+05:30tiled roofs are really great! both me and shankar ...tiled roofs are really great! both me and shankar these days prefer visiting out of the way areas and living at more rural-looking places, so my son has begun to think that it is a resort only if it has a tiled roof!Anunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624744958963134273.post-52304655644919498572010-09-30T11:23:49.874+05:302010-09-30T11:23:49.874+05:30Yes, kerala too have similar architecture, but, I ...Yes, kerala too have similar architecture, but, I doubt if it is Pagodas coz Pagodas look different.
