Airplanes, buses, ships, trains or bikes are the most common modes of commutation. These are very much a part of our daily lives.
With the coming of the new era, many uncommon modes of travel are coming in vogue. While some of us do not know about them entirely, some have completely forgotten about the uncommon modes of transportation.
To give our readers an insight about some of the most uncommon and exciting modes of travel, we have hand-picked 10 among the world’s most exciting modes of transportation.
Norry
While in Cambodia, do not miss out the fun of riding in a bamboo train which is locally called Norry. Earlier, these were an active mode of conveyance but now these are one of the local tourist attractions. Tourists can enjoy riding these bamboo trains in Battambang.
The train is just a bamboo platform placed on the top of wheels, and that’s all about it. These local trains run no faster than the normal walking pace but if you are in no hurry, they are always worth giving a try. Riding on a Norry and witnessing the landscape of Cambodia is a great and fun experience.
FELUCCA BOATS
A slow and meandering cruise in a felucca across the River Nile will take you back to the times of the Pharaohs. These traditional sailboats are written into the country’s DNA. It is an open-decked boat furnished with colourful cushions and pillows and canvas shelters to offer comfortable cruise for passengers.
The cruises commonly range from a short voyage of a couple of hours out of Cairo to multiple days of voyage between Aswan and Luxor. Sailing on a cruise allows you a unique chance to sleep on the open waters of the Nile, witness a modern metropolis that grew up along the river bank over the centuries and witness the star-studded night sky in a tranquil surrounding.
