This Is Why We Came To India 🇮🇳

- Today we explored rural India by public bus and had a quality time.
We heard nearby there was an aqueduct in the jungle so we we headed over there. The place was definitely beautiful, a little busy and dirty in the main area but we headed down the river into the jungle and found paradise. We then tried some fresh pineapple & toddy palm before hitching a ride with some friendly locals back to the main road.
We then headed to Marthandam town to check out the church, where we met more kind local people who walked us to the bus stop and sent us off home.
Then we finished the day in our small town eating some delicious food and just soaking in how nice it actually is here.
This is why we came to India! 🇮🇳

J'ai visité le Tamil nadu en Février de cette Année. Ce fût merveilleux dans tout point de vue, accueil, joie,sourire, richesse architecturale des temples. Juste envie de repartir et de retrouver cette chaleur humaine tellement fantastique. 🙏🌺🥰💐❤.
Amitiés de France. 👋
I liked when bus conductor said WELCOME TO INDIA with a smile. Good to see such hospitality from my people.❤
Kind man

@@EllisWR You are very welcome. I hope to make it there sometime in the future!
Ellis! Mate I am a British Indian who grew up in southern tip of India... The way you cover that corner shop and the temple and the oldies sitting around the corner.... Absolute classic man... No one vlogs like you... You deserve a BAFTA for this mate... The way you admire that Rasam Vada is unbelievable...❤. Bless you!
Thanks so much for the kind words ❤️🙏 we appreciate you
❤ from Kanyakumari district , Tamil Nadu
South Indian people are very friedly and helpful, they guide you properly.
south India is a gem
You've nailed it again. Ellis and Alicia you are such a polite and respectful couple. Thanks for showing us everyday life in rural India.
thanks so much carol!! have a wonderful day
The Mathoor Hanging Trough is the tallest as well as the longest trough bridge in Asia, having a height of 115 feet and a length of one kilometre. Constructed in 1966, this bridge has become a place of tourist importance and hundreds of tourists visit this place. The bridge was built under the Chief Ministership of the late Mr K. Kamaraj. It cost about 13 lakhs to construct the bridge and was done mainly to meet the necessary irrigation requirements of Vilavancode and Kalkulam Taluks and as a drought relief measure.
@@vengatramananramar357Thiru Kamaraj unrelenting efforts,construct this canal as a drought relief measure
In southern india everyone have know basic English knowledge and very freindly ❤
I'm just truly happy that you are showing the real side of kanyakumari. Most people just visit the beaches and call it a day. This is the real essence of Kanyakumari. A mixture of both Tamil Nadu and Kerala vibes. Visiting my hometown gives me a peace that no other place could afford. Thank you for showing the realness to the people. Got a loyal subscriber here♥️
India in best place and Good people Tamilnad natural gods give a perfect
Thamizhnadu NOT Tamilnad
@@user-tm2fy5mi1i bro you can seen passport and all government write Tamilnad only and I know very well bcz am Original Tamilan👍
It is so funny that the conductor says "I am from India"....innocent little smile. It is so nice of him to fix you up a ride. Rural people are very honest and treat you with respect.
He was a great man
In India 7 rupees equals to 700 Paisa...
100 Paisa= 1 rupee so, 700 = 7.
Many of the Tamil Nadu bus tickets are usually that type...
Welcome To Kanyakumari District Thanks for the Beautiful Vlog
The joy of travelling cheap and discovering such a huge diversity of people, traditions, languages, cultures, experiences and monuments, you will probably get only in India.
Marthandam is my Native...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤... thank you for coming ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Please Visit : Coimbatore, Ooty (near coimbatore), tuticorin (you can see selling fish near harbour), Yercaud, Rameswaram temple, Thanjavur
I'm from Coimbatore, it's very ugly place, Lot's of waste in streets, dust, pollution, first we need to clean our cities before inviting tourists, 😢, it's sad we make our cities like hell.
@@Dongfeng-05lol dude what u said is only applicable to cities not the rural area . They r pollution free atleast airpollution.
@@Dongfeng-05correct a lot of garbage strewn everywhere in coimbatore. kerala is much much cleaner
Coimbatore is expanding without any order. Sad to see the tree lined city I grew up in become an urban jungle.
7:50 Genuinely lovely bus conductor, that! Bless him!
Honestly Indians are super caring. Bad rep but always look out for you everywhere and will hell no matter what
@@EllisWR Suppose it can be quite difficult anywhere 'n everywhere in the world, where there's a bit of a language barrier etc, but, everyone can feel, good, kind, loving folk, regardless of their origin/nationality etc..... D'awwww, eh 🤧
You're in prime India. I'd love to be there now! Anywhere but those cities........
Have a great time E & A!
Thanks so much!!
My native being explored :) Thank you Ellis for exploring the very remote areas for the first time by a foreigner.
Thanks for supporting us 🙏🙏
Thanks for visiting Tamilnadu especially Rural India and sharing your insights. I happy to welcome you on behalf of my country
You’re slowly getting the obligatory head wobble 😂
Loving the India series.
It ain't intentional aha maybe just instinct to return it! They are like bobble heads here
Man ! You are living your life ...just like rest of who always wanted to go solo with cheap price
Great.... Its my native place..... Thanks for uploading .
Holly hell, finally couple of Smart RUclips Vloggers who know every detail about the place they're visiting, from the Pink busses to the prices 👍Impressive
Hey Ellis , you doing great job showing the beautiful side of India
I was there in 2017
Took pictures on the Aqueduct.
palm fruit can be cut further as single piece . 3 pieces per fruit. also, when he said 10 times, it mean you have to apply for 10 days
So the goli soda, it's easier to be made compared to the conventional cock screw methods. It gives a nostalgic feel in India. Plus the marble staying in prevents the fizz from escaping to an extent. So carbonation can be held for a tiny bit longer while you drink. ❤
Super interesting thanks for explaining
Godi (marble) soda is among the oldest designs of bottles to hold a carbonated drink, first made in the UK way back in the late 1800s! Its original name was the codd-neck bottle.
@@jarjarbinks3193 epic!!
Corkscrew...
@@EllisWR bro you are exploring beautiful places even many Indians from north won't visit these places 😇
Indian country side is very beautiful, the ppl ae especially innocent. Regarding recycling thrash its govt duty to make surroundings clean. And people also should learn and follow how to keep their surroundings clean and higenic.
Trash
we can say rural is much better than urban areas in India less people more beauty
Wow in India kerala and Tamilnadu are the most beautiful and clean states 😮❤
Not TRUE. Heard about the recent news of Russian tourists cleaning the dirty beaches of kerala?
@@saksham2525 I think that Russian visiter didn't visit..north india
@@kumarmagesh8292 Stop crying dude. Grow up and educate yourself.
@@kumarmagesh8292😂😂
@@saksham2525 we already grown bro..ur so called north india should..it's 1000years back now from reality...
Got to tell you that you both are doing real justice to South Indian vlogs. This is what we mean India to foreigners when they have no clue about it and rather have a different perception altogether. For such serene places, you can also try Korangani mountain's water cascades (foothill of Munnar) (a brief bus ride from Bodinayakanur) and grape cultivation enroute Kambam that ends at Suruli falls. By the way, to eat those palmyra fruit aka ice apple, just insert your thumb to scrap and slurp the whole inside of it. Its to cool the body. And to drink the vintage marble soda (goli soda) in a correct way is to hold the flat neck part in a vertical manner (horizontal is kind of failsafe). Hope it helps. Continue the commendable work.
Our kaniyakumari is so beautiful and different from other districts in Tamilnadu in every aspects ❤❤.... missing my home town badly
Welcome to india have a good time❤
Thanks for the video its been ages since i have been back in my ancestral village. Amazing work as always.
I like your vanakkam, nanri
Congratulations Ellis WR
I am from chennai.. but when we went temple visit.. food was cheap and tasty.. lot of oxygen from trees..
This hospitality you can see in only south india.. .. You can't find this kind off views in north india.....
Wdym Againn u started North South INDIA is one not divided and there sre many kind and helpful people in north too..
Another one so much interested in dividing!

These 2 enjoy india in the real way.This is the right way to enjoy a traveling people from abroad. Food culture natural things all.Hope u enjoy all in india.Food in tamilnadu is special always where ever u go❤❤
Thanks so much ❤️

Welcome from Tamilnadu. Nantri to you❤.
This is my native place in kk.. i am working in oman.. while seeing this video so happy to see my place.. ❤
U mean karaikudi

Great to see you guys showing all the beautiful places. Thank you. There is a saying that if you keep thanking for what you have you will more good things further, and i see you guys are appreciating the smalll things that you are getting everywhere and you are getting more beautiful things in your trip. Wish you for a great and happy journey further.
you both travel in a unique way . nice to see and thanks for sharing ❤🙏🇮🇳
It needs a skill to drink goli soda. The technique is you have to hold the bottle's nose horizontal to your mouth so that it won't block the outflow of soda. Its serves the purpose of holding the pressure and also reusability, of having that goli for future refills.
I wish Pepsi and coke had their bottles like this. These are 100% reusable and can be recycled easily, instead of those plastic bottles which harm the environment.
@@user-ml4cj4tl8q True, at least local brands in Tamil nadu have started using this again.
Pepsi and coke to use glass bottles? Seriously?
@@lepetitprince2188 Yeah, in India they still make glass bottle version of Coke and Pepsi.
@@lepetitprince2188 Advantage: It's better for environment. Disadvantage: The drinks will become more expensive!
As u said, I wish people would keep it clean. It would be more peaceful.
YOU CAN SEE THE REAL INDIA😍😍😍😍THANKS TO EXPLORE
Love the way you guys explore our villages and towns in Kanyakumari District.Nice place, good weather, good food, kind people and serene Nature. Enjoy your stay.
Kanyakumari district❤
Nicely well covered vlog with lot of emotions of local people. Rural south India is better due to educated, self reliance and relatively better prosperity. I would say that you may avoid visiting rural north india as you would struggle to get same experience (i am a north indian btw)
Rural north is also beautiful you just need right place to look for.
Rasa vada is a specialty of this place. Hope you enjoyed it like I would. The liquid in which it is soaked is called Rasam, a sort of soup. Very good medicine if you have cold or flu. The mystery snack I think is the vada without its characteristic hole in the middle. You picked correctly how to close the banana leaf after your meal. good job man.
We are so amazed to see you both visiting the more village side . Good luck for all your trip . Stay safe and healthy - Cheers
That bus no ticket women free for tn government
I used to watch all your vedios starting from Chennai. And now you are in ATTOOR the place where my home is what a coincidence 😊😊
Wow! Beautiful
If time permits go to Padmanapuram palace, Thirparappu water falls and Pechiparai Dam with boating it's very close where you are staying.
@@EllisWRthis marthandam Church is 10 km away from my hometown thengapattanam

@@Mohamed-pl5jk not yet!
i am an Indian and still i would appreciate you for pointing out those mess ...we as people need to understand that how important it is to keep our suuroundings clean. btw welcome to India ..do enjoy our rich ad diverse culture.
Ellis! Wonderful job. You really have no boundaries.
Really appreciate you watching thanks so much have a top. Day
53:44 You both are amazing vloggers.
FYI: If ask the public or bus drivers or any others about Auto or private taxi rate they can only give you an approximate estimate of the price and it wouldn’t be 100% accurate. They guy said RS: 50 and the auto tax asked for Rs. 80 so that is super close and good price.
Most of the south Indian people are most helping and hospitality & your camera not clear very dark and shadow - great experience video is so long but it is interesting .. thanks
The camera is fine no? When pointing at sun it's difficult for the sensor!!
wonderful VLOG, seeing you eat made me hungry suddenly and had to rush to the kitchen to have something to eat. Enjoy your stay. God bless the lovely couple
Thankyou so much my friend!!
Really I don't have words to appreciate your work hatsup to both of you.
Custard apples are really expensive... I don't know about Tamilnadu but they cost 500 rupee per kg in Maharashtra. They get more expensive as we go north.
500 is ridiculous!!! In other Asian countries they are fairly cheap like maybe 100-150 ish
Nice to watch my home video from Newzealand… More to explore In Kanyakumari district.. you gonna love it
We love your videos.. You are always welcome to our country.. Eager to see many more videos from Tamil Nadu.. My native place Niligiri.. Enjoyed watching your videos.. Thank you 🙏🙏
Thanks so much 🙏🙏
No such foreigner explored this way the way you do in Tamilnadu, Always welcome happy to see my countrymen helping.
Foreigners on youtube don't have any interest in the country they just visit for youtube. We love it here hope that shows 🙏
I always try to see food scene in this video 😊
We do love food
Bus conductor speaks good English
Good. Man
@EllisWR Warm welcome to India.
“Goli Soda” is Indigenous and very unique mechanism. There is a way to drink soda from that bottle. U have to flip the bottle in side ways where the marble would stop in the neck of the bottle and doesn’t block the flow. If you flip on any other wrong side it will block the flow. Next time try the correct side.
thanks my friend!!
Loved ur videos ❤keep going bud love from Tamilnadu
The civic sense of that bus conductor is very good...
In thoothor village you guys can watch best football matches like western side.these people will connect your vibes 🎉have a great time in Kanyakumari
Goli soda there is a holder inside the bottle itself to catch the ball while u drink it. Try to check it with someone in local
Happy that you are enjoying every moment in our native country... Love you guys 🫶🏻
You can also visit Dawki Village in Meghalaya. It's the cleanest village in Asia with cleanest river of Asia. In branch of Himalayas is really the best place to enjoy nature. And I am from Kolkata if you wish you also visit Kolkata. But if you want to do only country side so it's my generous suggestion to visit Dawki.
Go to the museum in Yercaud it has prrserved all the old British things and inventions - saw it on RUclips..amazing....also make sure all the prickly eyes are removed from the pineapple before eating it. The pineapple should hv no black bits on its which is refered as its "eyes"...
Probably your best video so far
Loved the way you signed off saying a Good Night.....😂😂.
Enjoy your stay in India.

You both made for eachother your aim is good vision good I like your vedios my hearty wishes to you
The marble is to seal the gas, at the lip there is a rubber seal and the marble pushes against it under pressure. So there is indeed a huge purpose for the marble :)
But why the marble? What makes it better than a standard lid?
It's cheap and reusable.@@EllisWR
It's was an older process before modern manufacturing, but now it has made a come back as people are eager to try it.
ชนบทอินเดียยังธรรมชาติน่าอยู่จัง ❤️🇹🇭
It's very nice!,
I really enjoyed watching your videos!!! Watching my country through your eyes is super refreshing haha!!
Thanks so much!!We loved it here
India n rural areas very piecefull and nice places
Really Love your videos from India🇮🇳, kerala❤
Indians, keep your country clean.
developing country
No garbage bins, no public toilets. But Kerala is cleaner than most states
The most populous country in the world can't be clean like you think.
Palm fruit is also called ice apply what you had. Apply for the face for 10 days to reduce your pimple. It is the national palm tree of Tamil Nadu. Best tree for saving water. All parts of the tree will be used.
Super interesting
Really loved your contents keep exploring other parts of Tamilnadu
Did the bus conductor give you the balance 20rs?
Rubbish everywhere is common in north India but didn't expect this in south. 🙏
Yeah it's not as bad down here apparently.
Bro in South India Tamilnadu you can see Rubbish everywhere..I'm saying this because I'm belong to that state... Pathetic Government is the main reason here no Strict protocols..just throw wherever they want. I'm done bro..
