Hello guys I have a question | ||
Well, there is no ban on it as such, but remember that all land is owned by locals so you should always seek their permission! | 1 | |
We were sleeping on the yacht anywhere we just anchored, usually just by local villages. And it was always safe and friendly. But when we were leaving the yacht we tried to hire one of local friends to stay onboard. I wouldn't leave the tent alone. | 2 | |
I'd recommend staying in a village, for convenience, safety and the experience. Communities will always find room for you in someone's house, and your hosts will watch out for you much more than if you go it alone and stay in a tent, because they will consider themselves responsible for you. Less stuff to carry, too, and village houses are much cooler and more comfortable than stuffy tents! | 3 | |
