Unforgettable Kerala Houseboat Tours

By Michael Smith


Backwater tourism in Kerala, God’s Own Country, an Indian state situated on the southern tip of the country, is gaining popularity rapidly. Backwaters and backwater destinations of the state are unquestionably among major attractions of the state. Tourists don’t want to forgo to enjoy breathtaking beauty of scenic backwaters of the states.

I think if Kerala is globally famous tourism destinations then the region behind it is backwaters and houseboats sailing over tranquil water of country waterways like lakes, canals, lagoons, rivers, inlets, etc forming vast stretch of backwaters. But do you think backwater tourism without a well-organized houseboat cruise? I think certainly not. How tourists can explore endless beauty of scenic backwaters of the state without a houseboat, rice boat, vessel, or canoe?


Now I want to give a short description about house boats of the state. Traditionally houseboats in Kerala were called Kettuvallams. Literally Kettuvallam means “Boats with Knots”. Coir ropes tied in knots are used to tie entire structure of Kettuvallam together.

There is an interesting fact that not a single nail is used during the entire process of assembling Kettuvallams or house boats. In ancient times Kettuvallams were excellent means of transportation. They were used as cargo carriers. They were used for the transportation of rice, spices, etc.

Today Kettuvallams are known as houseboats and are known for excellent accommodation with facilities like luxurious hotels. Today houseboats are major attractions of backwater tourism in the state.

Journey through the scenic and panoramic backwaters of the state is an unforgettable experience. Tourists from all over the world visit this state and enjoy house boat stay as well as backwater tourism. A well-organized houseboat tour in the Kerala can be the most relaxing experience of your lifetime. Exceptional nature beauty never fails to grab the heart of tourists. Sunset views over the sapphire backwaters make honeymoon couples romantic.

Tourists also get opportunity to see coconut groves, lush paddy fields, ancient temples, rustic homes, traditional villages, etc from the deck of houseboat. Some of houseboat cruise also takes tourists to the periphery of wildlife sanctuary. I think taking a house boat tour in scenic backwaters of the state will be the most magical moment of your life.

There are several backwater destinations in this heavenly state. Alleppey, Kumarakom, Fort Kochi, Trivandrum, Kozhikode, Kuttanad, etc are names to few. Alleppey houseboats are more popular than of other backwater destinations of the state. At Alleppey, house boats can be seen in quite good numbers. Rightly, Alleppey is described as the citadel of houseboat.

Kumarakom is also a very famous backwater destination of the state famous for the Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary and the Vembanad Lake. Vembanad is an ideal destination to start kerala house boats tour.

A well organized cruise promises tourists amazing tourism and wonderful holiday with excellent accommodation. For honeymoon couples cruising is the most magical experience and experience of lifetime shared together. It is delight of nature lovers and photographers. Well, you too can enjoy the charm of houseboats Kerala tour by visiting this blissful state of India that is Kerala – God’s Own Country.

Dental Treatments in India

- By: Noel Swanson, 2008-04-04

A department of dentistry involving diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental pulp nothing is as good as a natural tooth And sometimes your natural tooth may need root canal treatment for it to remain a healthy part of your mouth. Root canal treatment is also known as endodontic therapy. A root canal is a dental procedure in which a diseased or injured tooth is repaired by removing the damaged portion of the tooth, pulpal tissue In addition to nerve fibers; the pupal tissue also contains arteries, veins, lymph vessels, and connective tissue and then sealing up the tooth to protect it from further injury. Root canals are often the most feared procedure by regular visitors to the dentist's office.

The most commonly used one is the Ceramic Fused to Metal crown. The strength comes from the metal, and the natural look which matches that of the adjacent teeth comes from the Ceramic that is fused to the metal. The tooth then can be used normally for both looks and for eating. Ceramic Crowns are used to restore the shape, strength and function of a decayed tooth. After a tooth has had a Root Canal Treatment, the tooth has a tendency to fracture. To prevent this, the tooth is reinforced with a Crown. Because of the anchoring strength of dental implants they are in many ways better option than traditional bridge and crown work... Today there is greater awareness about the Toxic effects of Mercury. Hence, they are not frequently used. They are less expensive than the White Fillings but the fillings tend to tarnish over a period of time. Yet for those who would still prefer to have Silver Fillings, the facility is available.

Whitening of teeth can be done by Bleaching or by the use of Veneers. Bleaching is done by the use of a chemical which is applied on the surface of the teeth. When a lower strength of the material is used, the patient can safely apply it by himself in the Bleaching trays that are provided. He is usually advised on the duration of time that he can apply the Bleaching agent. Silver Fillings have been around for times immemorial. This treatment is called a Root Canal Treatment. When the cavity extends beyond the Enamel and Dentin and progresses to the Pulp, it gives rise to severe pain. In such a situation, before a filling can be done the infection has to be removed from the canals of the tooth.. aThis treatment option has been around for more than a century. Dental implants feel and look natural causing you to forget that you even have an artificial tooth. Dental Implants are entirely artificial teeth that a periodontist or other qualified dental specialist places into the jaw to hold an individual crown or bridge of teeth! Dental implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for their support; they are implanted directly into the jaw

Orthodontics is the treatment performed to correct your bite and make your smile look wonderful, with the help of braces. Every patient presents with a unique shape of their oral tissue and relationship of their upper and lower jaws. It can provide you with the chance to participate in improving the way you look. Candidates for dental implants must be in good general and oral health with adequate jaw bone and health gum tissue in the area of missing teeth. Till about twenty years ago these were about the only fillings available to us. Mercury is used to mix with the Silver powder granules prior to filling the tooth. Patients often feel more self-confident even before treatment is completed. With the help of bio-mechanics we use wires to apply a certain amount of force to bring about the desired amount of change. Orthodontic treatment can improve your dental health and change your facial appearance for the better, and it can boost your self-esteem. Complete dentures are used to replace teeth when there are no teeth remaining. The teeth are prefabricated acrylic which comes in many sizes, shapes, and shades.

- By: Amit Bhalla, 2008-02-09

The word spa conjures up images of mud bath and meditation classes but in reality, spas are much more than massage therapies and meditation. Basically, these spas are the centers for getting total spiritual and physical relaxation. However, spas are making a big difference in human lives but they got recognition very late; perhaps, people were not informed about their effectiveness therefore they never gave preference to spiritual healing through Ayurvadic massage. In fact, now people have realized the importance of spiritual living, as they are spending most of their free time in having exotic treatments in various spas. Since combination of body, senses, mind and the soul constitute life, spiritual healing can usher one’s way to better living through balancing all those four components. These components are consistent and should be kept in proper harmony, as improper functioning of any of these components can lead to various physical and psychological problems. Ayurvadic treatments are based on this concept of holistic healing therefore, Ayurvadic treatments not only heal our body but also give us great relief from spiritual problems. When it comes to finding a spa in India, one can find a wide variety of spas and Ayurvadic healthcare centers in India, as this country is the origination place of Ayurveda and Yoga.

Since spa in India is considered as the best place to heal tired mind and soul, one can always have great treatments from Ayurvadic therapies. In fact, these spas are the perfect way to get complete relaxation, as therapies that these spas offer helps in extracting exhaustion from one’s mind and body. These spas offer treatments that directly affect human soul, as they believe that to maintain a healthy life, your soul must feel relaxed and nourished. This holistic treatment can give you great relief from many mental and physical problems; perhaps this is the reason why every year thousands of people are visiting spa in India.

In past times, only Ayurvadic ashramas used to offer these massage and Yoga based treatments but with changing time, high-tech beauty saloons and resorts have also started offering spa services. Now Spa in India represents the perfect blend of Ayurvadic treatments and high tech luxurious environment. In fact, these spas are attracting people from all over the world and providing them with best massage and meditation therapies. Every year thousands of tourists are visiting India to have exotic massage and other Ayurvadic treatments.

Medical Tourism-Heal Your Pain

- By: Sarah Wilson, 2008-01-21

Health is wealth. A healthy mind can think and work effectively. Today, people are suffering from various types of unheard and unseen diseases. Costs of treatment of some diseases are also very high. Some people can afford it, whereas, some people cannot afford it. The cost of treating the same disease varies from country to country. People who cannot afford treatment in his own country moves to some other country for treatment. Once, they are treated by an experienced doctor, their disease gets vanished. Medical tourism is flourishing day by day in various parts of the world. It is a blessing for the patients.

While trying to describe the rapid growth in traveling to places for getting oneself treated, travel agents and mass media coined the term medical tourism. Global healthcare is more likely to replace the term medical tourism. There are two reasons why people travel to other countries for treatment. Firstly, when the cost of treatment is very high in his own country and secondly, when the disease is incurable in his native place. People who need to undergo complex surgeries like joint replacement, cardiac surgery, dental surgery or cosmetic surgeries generally move to other countries. Cuba, Germany, Mexico, Panama, Jordan, Colombia, New Zealand, Singapore and India attract more and more patients. It is rapidly increasing day by day.

The governments of the respective countries also invest funds to develop the hospitals as well as work towards improved infrastructure. The government has also developed medical tourism to generate income for the country. Traveling to another country for treatment is not only cost effective but can successfully cure any sorts of diseases. Countries that provide medical treatment gives excellent health treatments to their patients and also have world class doctors. Patients that travel to some other countries get a good treatment from the doctors as well as from the medical staff. Doctors and medical staff work hard to make their patients happy and try to cure any major health problems that they are facing. They try to give full comfort to their patients. The different international healthcare accreditation schemes vary in quality, size and cost. They also vary in terms of cost according to the hospitals and healthcare institutions using them. They all have web sites.

Medical tourism provides various services to the patients. Private transportation is provided to the patients and his attendant. The vehicle will take them to any place. The hospitals will also provide interpretation assistance if needed by the patients to understand all the procedures of the hospitals. The hospitals will also provide cell phone or a 24-hour contact number. Accommodation is also arranged for the patients. The patients also get to know about the local customs of the place. The hospitals also provide many other facilities to the patient. The patients can very easily afford the expenditure of the treatment. Another advantage of this type of travel is that the patients will get to explore a new place which will refresh his body and mind.

What You Should Know About Summer Vacation Tourism

What You Should Know About Summer Vacation Tourism

- By: Noel Swanson, 2008-01-10


These days most people complain that their finances are a little on the tight side. With personal debt being an ever increasing problem, the amount of people planning a holiday has dropped dramatically. So many people assume that with their level of debt they simply cannot afford a holiday. However, this may not be the case and these days it is easier than ever to book a holiday on a budget.

Selecting a Vacation to Suit Your Budget

No matter what state your finances are currently in, it is entirely possible to turn the situation around and save up for your dream holiday. You just have to sit down with the family or whoever else is going with you and come to an agreement on what your budget should be.

You can still go anywhere you want to, no matter what your budget is. The best advice is to choose your destination and then look for offers relating to it. These days you can find deals absolutely everywhere and so there should be no problem at all finding a deal for your chosen destination. Always remember that your chosen destination should have everything you could possibly hope for. This may sound obvious but so many people get carried away at the thought of going on holiday that they forget some of the smaller details such as whether there are enough activities to keep them happy throughout their stay.

For many people their dream holiday includes sun, sea and sand. A beach holiday is definitely doable on a budget and there is no reason why you cannot enjoy a popular beach too. SO many people think that in order to have a beach holiday on a budget, they need to find one which is a little more secluded. This simply isn't the case and there are many popular beaches such as Virginia Beach, Long Beach and Myrtle Beach which all offer something for those who are sticking to a tight budget.

When it comes to booking the accommodation, you should ideally choose a hotel which is situated a little more inland. Whilst it is easy to have a beach holiday on a budget, it is not easy to stay in a hotel situated near the beach on a budget. So remember to book as far away from the beach as possible and you should be able to save quite a lot of money.

Overall it is possible to have a good summer vacation on a budget. Even the destinations which are well known for their tourism can be affordable to most people.

Proceeds from the Royal India Spiritual Retreat will benefit the Floating Desert School, a project founded by ELEVATE DESTINATIONS' host in India: Dr. Jayasinhji Jhala.

Many Think Eco-tourism Is Bad When Vacationing

Many Think Eco-tourism Is Bad When Vacationing

- By: Noel Swanson, 2008-01-05


If you are interested in the environment then maybe a good idea would be to take a great vacation in the wild or visit the natural wonders of the world like the Grand Canyon. You are not alone in this, because more and more people like the idea of spending time in an environment free from cars, traffic, and tall buildings. Ectourism is dedicated to help keep the environment clean but there are some reasons why many think it is wrong.

1. The Reason Ecotourism is Bad

The main reason eacotourism is bad in the rural locations that any type of animals live is due to the feeling of surprise for the animals. Any type of animals that have lived there their forever are not tame. This is going to become a problem to humans certainly if those humans are bringing food. Having humans live in this area is going to cause stress for the wild animals.

2. Reasons Ecotourism is Wrong

Anyone that has even been to a recognized part has no doubt see a few pieces of trash in different areas of the location. It makes no difference how smart the park rangers are, the forest is a very large place and can sometimes be too big to find every piece of trash. Trash in the forest is going to make the environment look degraded but it is also very harmful to any living thing that takes up residence in the environment. You should know that any type of plastic is very hard to destroy and it is not going to break down.This all does have to do with how smart the tourists are when it comes to making the choice to now litter.

Reason #3 Why Ecotourism is Bad

The most known reason why ecotourism is wrong is due to the structures that are made for different ectourism tours. One idea would be if the park wants to have a nature path in it, there will need to be an area cleared out of the trees so that there is more room for paths. In some of the parks, there are lookout towers that are built in among the tress. These items are going to have a meaning but they are going to unintentionally damage the precious environment.

For More Information

There are a variety of different ways in which ecotourism can be bad for the environment, and if you want more information there are a variety of different options. First if you have environmental groups in your location that do not want ecotourism you need to talk to them and see if you can give them any type of information that will help them feel more confident in it. You can also search the Internet for more information, just be aware that opinions differ on this subject. You are sure to find interesting information with the proper research.

Jack Blacksmith very often creates short articles on ideas associated with malaga flights. You can come across his writings on malaga flights and costa del sol flights here.
What Is The Study Of Eco-tourism?By: Linden Walhard

You will find that when it comes to the study of eco-tourism, you will end finding that there are many different people from many different countries living in the world. There are new ways of making the natural attractions look better. You will find that when it comes to the study of ectorourism, you will be able to learn and to protect your own environment and you will be able to keep up the quality of life. You will want to make sure that you think about the way that you approach nature and the way that you approach the way that you relax and vacation.

When it comes to understanding ecotourism, you will want to take inconsideration that there is many things that get involved.
