Back in January of 2020, I spent nearly two weeks exploring the state of Kerala, India. It’s also known as God’s Own Country, as well as the Land of Coconuts. I started my road trip through the state in its capital, Thiruvananthapuram, also known as Trivandrum.
There, I linked up with my friend Vishnu, who graciously took 72 hours out of his schedule to show me all around his city, including his favorite food spots and some of the top attractions in and around the city.

Sites like Sri Padmanabhaswamy Temple, Attukal Bhagavathy Temple, and Chalai Bazaar are great places to get a real feel for the local culture and everyday life. You also can’t miss Kovalam Beach, Napier Gardens, and the colossal bird statue at Jatayu Earth’s Center in nearby Chadayamangalam.
But, as expected, it was the food in Trivandrum that truly blew me away. From the beef curry and fresh porottas at Good Morning Hotel to the pazham pori and pothu curry at Edaneram Restaurant, I was in Southern Indian food bliss! And no trip to Trivandrum is complete without having a traditional sadhya feast at Mother’s Veg Plaza.
But, as much as I’d love to tell you all about why Trivandrum is an incredible travel destination, let me just show you in this documentary detailing my 48 hours in the city!

About Me:
My name is David Hoffmann. Since starting David’s Been Here in 2008, I have traveled to over 1,300 destinations in 91 countries to experience and document unique cultures on my TH-cam channel, travel blog, and social media.
I highlight culture and historical sites, but my passion is food! I love to experience and showcase the different flavors each destination has to offer, from casual street food to gourmet restaurant dining.
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
I recently did 23 and me. I've learned that I have equal percentages of South and Northern Indian ancestry. After more digging I learned that my family came from Karela to Guyana 🇬🇾 as indentured servants. Visiting Karela is on my bucket list. My family cooks more like the South Indian cuisine than northern. Love this video David👍🏾
❤️ welcome back to home then .
Kerala *
Hearty welcome ❤️
what are you waiting for just book your tickets and come it's your own hometown and people.
You are Always welcome.
That’s SO cool!!! This is the first time I’m hearing that a Trinidadian or Guyanese person tracing their roots back to Kerala (as opposed to North West india) 😮😮 I’ve never heard of that!! So, so, so cool…& even more cool that you’re family cooks more in South Indian style!!!! 😮😮😮
Kerala is beautiful...the people ...the streets...markets with fresh vegetables ..fresh fish ...such healthy living.. And the foods cooked on woodfire would always be tasty . All the foods looked just super delicious...This must have been an awesome experience for you David... As always thanks. stay safe.
Thanks for the wonderful comment ❤️. Really appreciate it 😊
@@vishnukg007 It's true...you're Welcome.
Finally, to see a guy who tries the proper food in Kerala 😋
Yes super dope!
@@Davidsbeenhere yah but people only know north nDn in the west. Like there soon many options that are just as epic in the south. Like lamb/beef fry and porotta.

Hi. Who is your tour guide ? I will be in Trivandrum om May. He would be a perfect guide.
Kerala is such a great place to visit. All the lovely people food history. You know me love the local markets. Fresh is best. Im hungry now as usual. Job well done as always lol. Hope you guys have an amazing day. Peace and Blessings to Davidsbeenhere Team ♥
I’ve been to Trivandrum, it is very beautiful …

That's deep bud. ❤️ Hope you get to see all the places before you go
Superb to see u again. Wow, u are amazing. Respect every culture. I like it
Hello David please come and visit Meghalaya shillong again i want to meet you
Good morning David in Dominica
Just finished watching the video. Great job on this one. The content, editing, and continuity were well done. I had to watch it bit by bit though because of it's length, but never lost the essence of it. I love the fact that all the foods you ate had a purpose and meaning behind them: all foods that are good for your digestive system. People can go to a restaurant and leave with a full stomach and not know anything about the food they ate. Not here where all the foods meant something. Your host did a great job explaining how to eat everything that was presented to you. The history of Kerala was very interesting. What a beautiful beach and what a MASSIVE bird sculpture. I don't seem to recall if you mentioned what bird it is because that would have a lot of meaning too. Just wish there was an aerial view to appreciate how huge it is. Thank goodness you are in good shape to do all that walking especially going up and down all those steps. It's good that you are doing these documentaries because we might see things that we may have overlooked previously. Well done. Kudos to you, Nathan and Brandon and your entire team. Blessings as always. Stay safe and blessings to everyone involved.🙏🕊️❤️🇹🇹🇨🇦
Thank you for the wonderful and described comment Judy. I was with David on those days. I really appreciate you loving our content.
I can't say how thankful I am for your comment.
Lots of love ❤️❤️
@@vishnukg007 thank you.. and you are quite welcome. So are you the guy who is the guide in the video with David?. David didn't mention your name . If that's you, you are a super nice guy.🇹🇹🇨🇦
@@JudyT868 you missed it maybe. He says I'm in Kerala India with my boy Vishnu. 😊
And thank you . Appreciate it
@@vishnukg007 I think I missed it in the opening. David just had a 'live' chat. I asked him and he said that it was you. Thank you for confirming it. You are a truly nice guy. You did a great job. I will watch it again. Wishing you all the best for your future. Be well and God bless you 🙏🕊️🇹🇹🇨🇦
@@JudyT868 😊😊
This is an awesome documentary, man. I love that it's long form, but you still packed in so much. You have an easy style, too. So many TH-camrs come across as kind of fake or hyperbolic. Really enjoyed watching your highlights and looking forward to going myself in the next month. I wish your friend Vishnu were a tour guide - I would hire him in a heartbeat!
David. You really took us to Trivandram through your video. Love you man! I am taking my family to trivandrum next month. Your video inspired us a lot.! Keep inspiring more! With love from India - Chennai.
Wow Shaeky thank you so much for this amazingly kind hearted comment. That makes me so happy to hear that. Thats why I do these videos! I love you too and I hope you have a very safe and beautiful trip to Trivandrum its an amazing place. Thank you so much for the support Shaeky and once again sending you many blessings!
@@Davidsbeenhere thanks alot brother! My wife and I loved the way you enjoyed the food. We are heading to trivandrum only only bcoz of you.. thanks again..
I'm gonna share your videos to all my friends and family here in Chennai-IND. with lots of love ❤️

Varkala❤
I fell in love with south India and I would really like to make that trip. I'm from Trinidad 🇹🇹 David I must always thank you and bless you 🙏 namaste be safe
Amazing video bro
only a month ago I went to a week long trip to Kerala. visited Trivendrum, Trissur , Guruvayur and Mannarsala. Absolutely loved the people, the natural surroundings and the temples. the only thing that shocked me was the beef consumption !! my co-passengers in the train had already warned me that it would be very difficult to find vegetarian food in Kerala. Being a vegetarian, I mostly survived on Kadala curry and Appam !! I had no idea about this Sadhya place. Next time definitely eating here.
I am also a vegetarian, there are plenty of vegetarian hotels ..
@@renukasivadas3117 I tried dear but could not find any. Please do give me a small list of vegetarian restaurants in Trivendrum, Kochi ect where I can enjoy the sadhya meals. I love the food items in Sadhya. there is one place in Mumbai called Deluxe restaurant where we do get awesome Kerala meal but wanted to have it in Kerala too with all its authenticity. I plan to go to Kannur, Kochi, Periyar and Kottayam next time. ive heard a lot about Kannur that it is an amazing place.
Hi, it’s not hard to find vegetarian food. Just look for meals ready signs on the streets. Let them know you’re vegetarian and they will bring you vegetarian meals. Which is just Kerala style thali with a whole bunch of different vegetarian side dishes and Sambar. In Kerala, we eat vegetarian food a lot. In my family only once a day we eat fish/chicken/beef/egg. Every other time we try to eat vegetarian. Unless we have guests over then it’s a non veg feast 3 times a day haha😅
Kerala cuisine is simply superb in India. About time it’s getting proper recognition. They have a lot of techniques, ingredients, intelligence going into their cooking methods. Impressive bunch of people
Hi, amazing, Could you suggest a local guide for me? I am in Trivandrum right now
Hey brother.. welcome back again to India...but this time please again come to north east Indias assam...I am here to welcome you...make my wish come TRUE...cheers
Thanks 4 this David! Btw luv luv luvdd it when in Guyana Chef Delvin from backyard cafe said smthn 2 the effect of 'i see you really like sour things David.😁man your face didn't even change😁' my teeth got all clenched up man'(when the 3 of you were eating the carambola in the street market/eating 5 elements aka starfruit 🙌💯💥❤
Aww thank you so so much! Hope you are doing well Ya! Miss seeing you and wishing you peace and blessings!
@@Davidsbeenhere 🤗💯 bless and çook teşekkürler(many thnx!) David 💚💛❤ i promise 2 be back soon my friend! Happy healthy& safe 2024 once again to you..your staff.. your family ..and all your friends 👍😘(and 2 all viewers/subs of this channel too!!!)🤗❤
Thats so nice of you to say. Now I want Turkish food too...too much to eat and too little time!
David you are so humble.
You do the job so superbly.
This is really amazing! 3 hours long thats insane! Great job David making this TRAVEL DOCUMENTARY!!
Thanks!!
Kerala!!!!! ❤
David beautiful documentary. I enjoy watching. David, you are humble and have a down-to-earth personality. Eating mixed food on banana leaves is a fantastic experience you must have been hungry, haha; I love it. Your video provides quality content that promotes respect and positive experiences. I can see the genuine relationship and trust you build in your videos, including this one and the other countries you visit. I hope to visit India one day. But for now, your videos are satisfying. Thank you for showing the world.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but at the start of the video, I think that is the temple in my favorite band Cold Play “ Hymn for the Weekend.”
Hey Devi Jones, thank you for commenting. We appreciate it. Sadly the song you referred didn't show that particular temple. They showed mostly North Indian temples and a scene from an art form in Kerala called kadhakali where the colors spread from a person's face.
But thank you for the wonderful compliment and comment.
❤️
@@vishnukg007 Thank you for the clarification. 😊
@@devijones you are welcome. I'm glad you are happy with the content.
YOU'RE the BEST DAVID!!! HUGS FROM SUDBURY ONTARIO CANADA haha!🇨🇦🤗🥑🌶 we watched you last nite& I commented TWICE ON THE LIVE 🤣🙏but I think your friend/assistant thought it was my 10yr old son commenting 🤣 I'M THE VEGAN CHEF who eats ital vegan rasta FOOD and LUVS 💯 when yu say see yu next time INSALLAH 🍆🌶🍅🥑🍋blessings!!!!
Thank you for watching. I appreciate it so much. I am also in Ontario Canada now. We shot this in 2019 before covid.
Thank you guys for the comment. ❤️
@@vishnukg007 👍💯👍💯👍💯👍💯 blessings!!
come back to Kerala bro😊
Let's ask together ❤️😊
Amazing video
The way David had the sadhya ....,is one of the best visual i had seen .....
Loved your visit to Trivandrum and Kerala, makes me want to go there. I have been there really long time ago. Have to make it there again.
I David you don't know how I wish I could say what I really felt watching you get your haircut but I'll be neck and you sounded like you were looking into a vortex of softness and Eve and goodness oh my it was fabulous just to listen to you and I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself that is the most important of all now go eat some food and look how pretty you look man okay and it was good seeing you relax and feel good okay I enjoy watching you and you have taught me like I've told you already have taught me so much about Indian food that I love it even more you have a good night and peace to you 🇺🇸☮️🥢
Imagine me shooting David while he is making those sounds 😂. It was a fun day for both of us ❤️
David have you noticed when in Suriname and Guyana all meats and fish are bought fresh...coming to live in Trinidad its the one thing I can't adjust to frozen meat and fish...blah🤮 but actually all south American countries go with fresh meats always.
Love you reviews and opinions , David ... do connect with me when you pay your visit to Bangalore . you know so much about the Indian cuisine that i wont be over shooting my opinion of you opening your very own Indian Restaurant @ USA .
South India 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Such a huge difference from North India. The people, culture, food and landscape. Very cultured people. Other States people are not that educated.
After the haircut & an awesome massage hope you cover the charges & a big tip for an awesome guy! He closed the shop for you! WOW
David I think you study well about the place u visit thank you for visiting my native place Kerala
Thank you
❤️
Wow this is beyond incredibly generous and helpful. Thank you so much Devi from the bottom of my heart! Hope you are doing well!
Awesome video of my home state Kerala, thanks for sharing
2.5 hrs video worth watching
Good job 👍
COOL
namsakaram 🙏
Indian food is good
@David do the fish market sell out and what they do with the rest that doesn't? Thanks david for the great tour. 🥰😍🥰
They mostly sell out pretty fast. And end of the day the prices will drop too.
Indians are so freaking beautiful and I love them and their culture!
I'm going to Dehli and Varanasi later this year...I can't wait. I know as an American I eat burgers and fried chicken with my hands..but I just can't do it with Indian and West African curry stews fish with grains and rice. I need a fork!! HAHAHA. Love the vid David.
That’s fine. We don’t care whether you use your hands or a fork. It’s up to you. This is just the way we do it. Any restaurant will provide you with a spoon if you ask for it.
this is the best!!
❤ Incredible India! Yassss!
Wow yummy curry!
Which one??
@@vishnukg007 all the curries esp the ones served on 🍌 leaves including the dhal
@@AvarikiFamily that was really delicious
Can they Make Parontha out of Whole Wheat. How is vegetarian food compare to DILLI. I prefer Dal Roti no Meat Please.
Next time David you come practise the spelling Tirubandapuram 😅😅
Bro you are saying it wrong
How can you expect him saying it then.
It's thiruvananthapuram aka Trivandrum
Oh my goodness! That restaurant with all those sweets at the end gives sooo much food! Id be stuffed.
Which one?
Tri-van-drum
Great video again. But bhai eating BEEF is a no no.And eating BEEF and going to Maa Durga Temple. "c'mon man"
Food is food bro
Deal with it. We didn't go inside temple.
@@vishnukg007 okay( Vishnu)
Can i get pork in kerala??
yes you can
@@forever470 can you send me the address
@@sohamdas1249 go a restaurant in Kerala
@@forever470 in any restuarant??
@@sohamdas1249 yes most of the restaurants...thrissur/ernakulam area has a lot of pork serving restaurants
Did you mistake in editing , this video is 2 HR plus.
Documentaries he puts together of locations visited will be longer ones yes. No mistake . I do hope you enjoy it. Take your time watching . Have a great day.

Very nice food 👍👍🥰🥰🥰🇹🇹🇹🇹
wow hats off to you for eating sooo much spice dude! 🥵🥵🥵
How do you know ;)
Wowww david
Best food in the world is south indian food 😂😋😋😋😋
😍 👌
menyemangkan sekali
Why only one hand? You're struggling so much
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Some times little bit hard to say
💙💚💜⚡
This is not fine dining but I bet it is tasty.Unfortunately it looks like various droppings not very eye appealing.
Everyone eats beef in Kerala? 🤔
Majority eats
Guys when u do come to Kerala
Just wanted don’t eat food from Trivandrum
u can find better taste and quality in literally every other district
Trivandrum restaurants is worst when compared to other districts in Kerala
Sorry David, the guy with you Steals the show
😂thank u
Hi
Yo … you have been duped on how to eat the sadhya by that malayali guy… you eating it wrong mate
This is totally fake we sure
Dont like any videos for this content if you like you will loose your all bank accont payment.
Not 😋🚫
🤮
I cannot imagine they cook beef - shame on them for eating and cooking beef if they are Hindus
And shame on you for interfering with others food habits. The hindus of kerala can decide whats better for them . Anyhow they didnt kill anyone for eating beef.
Calm down buddy. Don't watch if it hurts your feelings.. Beef is a delicacy in Kerala.
Pathetic moron
@hsalihbaj dude , there is a freedom to take or not take . It’s personal choices . If we push someone to take something against someones belief, we are no different than the above person
We also cook pork not just beef.. 😁😁
@hsalihbaj Yop. Both Beef and Pork are tasty.. 🥰🥰😍😍
I'm a meat and potato kind of guy. This all looks pretty gross to me.
Fist ✊✊✊

Love how you embrace legit local cuisine @davidsbeenhere
