Hello guys,
I am going over to Kerala, South India and might travel on from there.
I really would like to collate things and tips for camping out in India to help with my trip.
I mean there are snakes, mosquitos, elephants, tigers and thieves. So first thing is to gather the intelligence on local dangers and finding what dangers are around. The good thing is there are no elephants or tigers in Varkala, Kerala. Phew! ; )
One of the first things I will write is I am staying of the ground and using my hennassy hammock. But unlike in this country although we do have to look for loose branches that if a palm branch falls from a palm tree they can be quite sharp, so your tarp or built branch roof could be a protection.
I am using wood, coal or charcol to cook with if not using my whisperlight petrol stove, the stove will only be used to boil water with.
I am new to camping in South India so any advice and discussion we can have on the subject would be great for prepping me up.
So please post what ever is on your mind and advice about camping and survival in Asia and we can take it from there.
Thank you folks.
