Choose your cabin carefully
Houseboat cabins vary. Check whether the bathroom is private or shared, whether there is a balcony and how many people the cabin accommodates. Share your group’s needs before choosing.
Keep your packing simple
Use a bag that is easy to carry and pack spare clothes, a waterproof phone pouch and personal essentials. A separate bag for wet clothing can be useful.
Follow the crew’s safety guidance
Find out where life jackets are kept and how to use them when you board. Supervise children, do not enter the water without the crew’s guidance and be ready for plans to change in poor weather.
Leave the haor as you found it
Keep plastics and food packaging out of the water. Keep noise low, respect local people’s space and ask before photographing them.
