Today I explored the city of Kochi for the first time ever! It was a super interesting place which kind of reminded me of Sri Lanka with the laid back attitude and nice beaches. I went on a tuk tuk tour to all the best spots including the hindu temple, jew town and a ginger farm. Met some really interesting characters and had a great day.

If you want to visit a temple then you can, some of the temples allow only Hindus because in the past there were infinite islamic invasions on India to loot and destroy temples, millions of small and big temples were destroyed so some temple management feel insecure now also.
Now a days also many temples are destroyed by radicalised people.
my best bro prince Harry Mac Luke Travis all are looking handaome lot of love from your cousin viki 💙🐥
Kerala is land of spices. VASCO DA GAMA the first European who discovered sea route to India. He landed on Calicut (in Kerala) for trading spices. After Portuguese, the Dutch , the British discovered route to India. Europeans consume lot of meat but they had no spices to preserve meat for long time . They need indian spices to preserve meat for long time.And thus how they ruled & traded in ancient days. That’s the short history…
@The Santhal Vlogger It is really good to see the old style of drying the spices etc along with the old buildings still playing a role in helping the local economy grow.
Grateful for your information on Vasco Da Gama!
@@1mazforall in single words …Europeans invade India for spices, then started trading other things & then ruled to gain power over everything, that’s all my Bros…
Imagine Indian spices are not common things. It had been a valuable assets then & even now…
Value of spices…👍🏻
I gotta admit….when ever I watch travel videos of India,I always get surprised!!!…it’s such a diverse and beautiful country!
Also the people in Kerala are Malayali and they speak Malayalam mainly not Tamil. The last temple you visited was a Jain temple not Buddhist.
thanks for pointing it out!
Yeah a few years after independence the Tamil-speaking parts of Travancore became part of Tamil Nadu so nowadays there not that many Tamil speakers in Kerala.
@@chrisjohn1284 Pallakad is still somewhat a tamil speaking area
Malayalam and tamil are similar languages
No@@kavyasivakumar881
Your best indian vlog till now, well done. I like when you show the regular markets of the city and not the touristy ones. Also i must say the tuk tuk driver, Shibu was very honest and 'hassle free'👍
Ya the Ferrari driver
Kerala is really beautiful and calm. ❤ from Mumbai🙏
Harry is living great life traveling every day and enjoying his life...hope everyone enjoy their lives❤
thanks Divik I couldnt agree more, i hope everyone enjoys also
Harry ,
Glad you were able to organize a honest tuk tuk driver. The spice shop tour was really good and to see people working hard making an honest living is wonderful. India is truly vibrant! Enjoyed your vlog! Good luck Harry!
Kerala is truly God's Own Country!! Love it everytime we visit this marvel of nature.
Harry i am realy recommended to see 'THRISSUR POORAM '
It is a beautiful festival in Kerala
👌👌👌👌😍😍😍😍😍
"Kerala doesn't feel like India too much" 😂😂😂 Loved that line. @Harry Jaggard
Visit The HIMALAYAS!!
Himachal Pradesh ( Manali, Dharamshala, Leh, Ladakh) You'll love it!! ❤
Bro he needs to visit a lot of places Rajasthan for the Forts and Desert, Himachal for mountains, North east India. I appreciate him taking time and exploring our country 🙏🏻
For some reason foreigners never go beyond Delhi to north idk why
Talking hindi in Kerala is like talking Spanish in Germany. Although some may understand it but majority couldn't understand.
Most of them can understand hindi but can only speak broken hindi(some people not alll)..
Bro I am from north and when i visited there I went too many stalls and tried to speak Hindi they were like what is this guy saying and they were speaking malayalam so it was difficult to communicate but english really helped
@@godworld6370 😂😂😂 Kerala the newer generation can manage with basic hindi plus the local stalls these days have a large Bangladeshi, Nepali guys and Biharis or UP guys so communication in Hindi shouldn't be that difficult. I remember going to my hometown pharmacy and asking for a tablet in Malayalam and when he responded back with the little Malayalam he knew I was like this is odd, his Malayalam sounded gibberish and finally communicated in Hindi. Yeah in Kerala we can get lost in translation a lot the more local and interior side we go. But English is a better option.
@@GoodPalate can non indians buy a flat in kerala or
@@headlinesgenerator5426 I don't know if they can, would have to check the policies and laws relating to property. My guess is non Indians cannot buy any property throughout India except Goa.
Harry, I would recommend that you visiting the Himalayan areas of India .... foreign tourists seldom go there and they are arguably the most picturesque in India and the world.
thanks for the advice i will try
@@harryjaggardtravel This vlog is an example of why Europeans landed in India for Trade. An English man revisiting those spice markets once again.
@@harryjaggardtravel come to Darjeeling and Sikkim
@@harryjaggardtravel visit Gangtok in sikkim.. It's the best time to be there in mountains mate. Cheers
@@harryjaggardtravel well it would be colder than uk
people in kerala understand tamil, mother tongue in kerala is malayalam, tamil is spoken in Tamil Nadu.
The spice market was magical. Great to see where the spices I use are coming from and how they are dried. Super! 🇮🇪♥️☘️🇺🇦
Music is enrooted in Hinduism. And indian culture
interesting
The temple that you visited at Mattancherry is of the Konkani speaking community settled during Portuguese persecution in Goa .
Thanks for sharing your video, I like to visit kerala next time I get to India. Excellent videos Harry 👍😃🇬🇧👏
you should! thanks for watching
@@harryjaggardtravel I watch all your videos, only came across your vlog few days ago, it's almost like we are travelling with you Harry, Good luck and keep travelling, be safe 🙏👍👳♂️👌🇬🇧♥️
that autodriver has a style loved it
I just loved that last shop you were in with all the spices. That was nice of them to give all that tea drinks..
Nice video Harry.
So nice
I used to buy spice and tea from Colombo for home, Kochi Kerala also looks like spice hub, those Parsi and Dutch Street so cool, nice video.
4:42 no bro 1st church in India is Palayoor Mar Thoma Major Archiepiscopal Church it was established in 52 AD by St Thomas, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ.
...Hi!..new subscriber here🙂..love that place along the synagogue..it was not chaotic..clean..love the stores alongside especially the shop...looks like a historical place with a nostalgic feel❤ me, Theo..from the PHILIPPINES!💖💖💖

Those tuk tuks are available in SL too but are mostly used for transporting goods.
But some do take passengers. The one you took to race Mac & Ali to 9 Arches is similar to this one.
official language of Kerala is malayalam bro .its 1000s of year old language. 97% of Keralites are Malayalies . hindi is the official language in some north Indian states but not in kerala and neighboring south indian states. it would be respectful if you say spme malayalam words instead of hindi in kerala.
The Kerala model of development refers to the economic practices adopted by the Indian state of Kerala. It is characterised by results showing strong social indicators when compared to the rest of the country such as high literacy and life expectancy rates, highly improved access to healthcare, and low infant mortality and birth rates. Despite having a lower per capita income, the state is sometimes compared, to developed countries.These achievements along with the factors responsible for such achievements have been considered characteristic results of the Kerala model.Academic literature discusses the primary factors underlying the success of the Kerala model as its decentralization efforts, the political mobilization of the poor, and the active involvement of civil society organizations in the planning and implementation of development policies.
DEAR HARRY....INDIA IS A MELTING POT ....SOOOOOO MANY LANGUAGES FOODS CULTURE DRESS DIFFERENT STATES........ INDIA IS INCREDIBLE......IN ALL WAYS ...
She is winnowing the waste outer cover of the pepper off before it goes for grinding. It’s a very traditional tool and is used to winnow all sorts of grain and spices to get rid of husks. Typically it is women’s work, and is also done in household settings too. Masala is a spice mix, not necessarily a curry mix. In Sri Lanka you went to Matara which is a cinnamon flowing area! Kerala is very like Sri Lanka in some ways as it has a similar colonial history. You are seeing as you did in SL that people can live together quite peacefully even though they have different religions and cultures. Multicultural societies that work do exist in many different places!
I can see a kind human being in you , Nice vlog . Keep up the good work.
My experience is that it is best not to buy things for people unless you have asked the person concerned,
Because usually what we like, others don't like, Harry is very smart,
In this episode, Harry learns knowledge from several very wise old people, which is very warm！👍😃🙏
我的經驗是除非問過當事人，否則最好不要幫人家買東西，
因為通常我們喜歡的東西，別人不見得喜歡，哈利很聰明，
這一集哈利與幾個很有智慧的老人學習知識，非常地溫馨！
Bro wanna remind you that hindu is a religion and hindi is the language...u must be of Hindu religion to entre that temple....Btw love ur vids man ❤️
i corrected myself in the video and said hindu but thanks for pointing it out!
@@harryjaggardtravel
Hindu religion and Temples are pretty discriminatory in roots.. As a Nazi Aryan race theory... The famous case of Sabrimala Temple which banned Women till date even after Court verdict... Some temple even today won't let Schedule Caste(Dalits-which they consider as untouchables) to enter in the temple premises... That's why I don't go to any hindu.temple anymore. Only Buddhist sites and Sikhs Gurudwara are the ones who accept everyone despite any discrimination against any religion, caste, gender..
Hindu temples welcome people of any confession.
@@rahulbaba470 😂😂 really ? You don't know nothing . Are you really indian ?
There is nothing discriminatory like that❕
Some old caste problem exists But it's not supported by the state/nation and reform is happening at a fast pace ( and it is and it should be dealt with strictly).
And some conservativeness is still there like in very few temples( only 8 ), foreigners or non-Hindus are not allowed in some important parts of the temple because of the history of extremism and destruction people faced(still happens sometimes, and many cases of ancient statues of Deity getting stolen).
You can see many vlogs of foreigners going to the temple. So it's not like what some ignorant fools are telling you.
And about the Sabarimala temple, it's the temple of Shani Grah ( Saturn ) where some occult practices are done, so, it was prescribed for women and children to not go there but with time to some extent, it became a conservative rule. Like in Temples, especially which is located on a hill or a distant place, menstruating women didn't go because of the wilderness and animals and because of the extra care that they need that period but with time and forgotten knowledge, all this became a conservative rule.
You can also find many foreigners in the biggest Hindu gathering( even the biggest in the world), The Maha Kumbh Mela, which happens with every complete cycle of Jupiter (12 years).
Your vlogs are so awesome Harry getting addicted to them.
Glad you like them!
Love from North East State Manipur. I have never been to Kerala wanna visit if I have chance to visit in the future.
😂 what ! you didn't expect pumpkin. Seriously 😂 it's one of the staple vegitable in India.
haha i had no idea!
vloggers contribute a lot in one
country 's tourism.thank you for sharing this.👍
"kerala doesn't actually feel like india too much" lmao 😂 we can thank the Hollywood and bollywood for that stereotype. India is india its diverse.
The reason why people say that in Mumbai and other northern states, have lots of slum areas and it is not clean.. but kerala does not have slums and kerala is the most cleanest state in India.
@@ancyvarghese165 not true a simple google search can tell you that ,don't try to oversell kerala lol
@@Caramelew I am from kerala and I have visited Mumbai
18:47 "ohh outside it's hassle...inside it's hassle free" 😆 🤣 I'm on the floor
It’s sad to see most tourists know only Kochi, Munnar, Alleppy and Kumarakom…Kerala is almost 600 kms in length and there are several places apart from these places .. Wayanad for coffee and wildlife sanctuaries, Kannur for the theyyams , food , hopefully once the highways are ready things will change and more tourists will patronise
Harry if you wanna a proper houseboat cruise then head to Allepy District. You'll definitely have fun there.
Come to kerala again bro❤❤❤
The spice 🍵 tea lady was so nice 😊 and cute …offering you different flavour’s 😘😘
After watching this, sure once i will visit kerala. Its look realy very beautiful. Love❤ from New Mumbai.
you should its amazing
These areas looks so clean❤️
29:00
Ladies in south India & Sri Lanka use that tray to sort rice as well.
Interesting videos. Hope you 'll have a nice stay in India.
BTW, the language in Kerala is Malayalam - Malay a lum - a bit of a tongue twister, I know.
Just to add to your statement 'Kerala doesn't feel like 🇮🇳' Well if you ask me Kerala is one dimension of India which is totally unique and different from rest of the country. Same in the case of Goa or the coastal areas of Karnataka (from Karwar bordering Goa to Mangalore bordering Kerala) where Bangalore is located.
It will remind you more of SRI LANKA
His statement is wrong. He simply has wrong idea about what India is
@@SreekanthRajeev Exactly💯 true. becoz of "Western Ghats" kerala, kostal Karnataka, Goa and some costal areas of Maharashtra also similar in appearance but People of Kerala is Unique and should get a totally different feel than rest of the India.
im pretty sure the first mosque in India is also in Kerala.
If you interested in cruise,Allappuzha is the best place.
Bro try to visit Munnar in Kerala.....near to kochi, Thiruvananthapuram where u can find beaches and world's richest temple... Try to explore Kerala cuisine which is one of the best cuisine in the country....
One of the best in the world🥰🥰🥰
U r just majority by 5% other all r minority lol wait for some year u Hindu commie of Kerala and all those Hindu Mandir will same just like Kashmir lol
Harry - at the 11:00 mark, the vegetable is called a Bitter Gourd in English. In urdu we call it a karela. IDK what they call it in Kerala, but in urdu, you saw a Karela, in Kerala.
Well it is funny to listen karela in kerala
Bhai Lekin more funny to say is karela juice piyo kerala ma
It's called Pavekka in Malayalam in Kerala, Southern side.
@@GoodPalate kaipakka in Malabar malayalam
@@minnalmurali4559 it varies from place to place in Kerala itself. I am from Alappuzha , Chengannur area and we call it Pavekka. 😅
What do you call Raggi in Malabar area?
very cool people i would love to go travel around there
Love from Kerala 🥰🥰
thanks for watching
Brother visiting Gangtok, shimla, chandigarh, indore, noida,navy Mumbai, gandhinagar your thought going to change ..by the way kochi is also amazing city .
You should visit Northeast India--- (Sikkim, Darjeeling, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Assam etc.) People here are Mongoloid raced
Darjeeling in northeast?
@@madhab383 Geographically it is.. Politically is not yet as long it remain with West Bengal
In india temples are not built for religious purposes, they were highly energized tools build for human wellness. Temples are found deliberately at a place where the positive energy is available abundantly from the magnetic and electric wave conveyances of north/south post push. The idol of deity is set in the core center of the temple, known as Grabhagriha. Ideally, the structure of the temple is built after the idol has been placed in a high positive wave centric place. In olden days, temples were built in such a way that the floor at the center of the temple were good conductors of these positive vibrations allowing them to pass through our feet to the body. Hence it is necessary to walk barefooted while you enter the center of the temple. The Five senses of the body get activated when you are inside the temple if the positive energy inside the temple is absorbed properly that is only if you ensure that all the five senses ie sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell are activated in your body while in the temple. The entire art of building temples is not just a mere art; it is a science. Every single facet of it - from the size of the idol to the directions and the sanctum- yes! Temple architecture is a highly developed science.
If you look into the ancient past of India and its temples it reveals the fundamental science and purpose behind temple building. Far from being a place of prayer or worship, temples were created as powerful spaces where an individual could imbibe the enshrined energies. Most temples were created to address a particular aspect of life and were thus consecrated to activate one or two particular chakras, the main energy centers within the human system.
it is also said that spiritual persons do not need to visit the temples as they have self charging mechanism. unfortunately in most part of India in ancient temples have been destroyed by invaders and the temple building science has been mostly lost because of nearly 1000 years of foreign rule. but if you go to an ancient Temple at least 900 years old in South India and sit near Grabhagriha you will feel the the positive energy.
You’re keep saying “KAISE HO”…do they even understand that coz they don’t usually understand hindi much…it’s like you’re speaking Czech infront of French people 😅😅😅…india have 22 official languages and many of the people don’t know each other’s languages other than north indian people mostly know hindi…in south they will be more comfortable in ENGLISH than the HINDI 🙂
Ah as I thought
Another tourist spots I suggest
Kuttanaad backwaters for houseboating and Munnar for trekking
Go to Andaman and Nicobar islands , I'm sure you will love it.
Curry is not made up of any powder. And curry is NOT equal to masala. Masla means spices. And not all spices are HOT.
Why people can't understand it... "Chai" means exactly "Tea". 😂😂😂
Street light looks nice. Should be implemented allover indian streets
kochi the miami of south asia 🌊🏖️
oh yes!
First church is not in kochi , it is in different part of kerala , it is the syrian churches built during the first century when St Thomas the disciple of Jesus came to Kerala at AD 57
u should try to visit north east as well as north states of India , they are beautiful with scenic mountains :)
That cruise on a scale of ten....
I would give -10
The first jews came and settled in kochi after the destruction of the temple of solomon......kerala used to be a major trade hub for the arabs , egyptians ,romans, chinese ,and greeks , that's why you see the influence of various cultures embeded ...kochi was under the portugese for few years and then the dutch annexed kochi by defeating the portugese...they ruled for a couple of years..the dutch eventually lost their world power after the kingdom of travancore(present day:trivandrum-the capital of kerala) defeated the dutch in the Battle of Colachel in 1741...All religions peacefully co-exist in kerala..there is harmony....Also Malayalam is the official language of kerala..harrry also do visit jatayu earth centre,it is the worlds largest bird sculpture
I was about to comment regarding this in my long comment to Harry but you definitely beat me on that one 😂
Harry way to go! Hoping you could enjoy this trip more. You are making history by being so kind and teaching people about being sweet to each other. Amazing.
Just a correction. The last temple you visited wasn't Buddhist but a Jain Temple. Jain is one of the oldest religion in India.
In U.S. I use crystallized Ginger for upset stomach medicinally. Good to just suck on like a lozenger.
You should come to North East the real beuty My recomandations.
Darjeeling
Gangtok
Shilong
Aizwal
Tripura
Manipur.
10:16 adios chao 😂😂😂😂
Wow you did speak Spanish to the locals.
🤣😂
🥰Love loved this vlog Harry Sire. The markets and real interaction with the people of Kochi. The street that you went "the hassle free" loved it. The street lights 👌Loved the shop that you went to buy coffee. 😍 those ornaments are so beautiful. Thank you for showing this side of Kochi. You are really getting good at speaking Malayalam. Bless you Harry. Hope you are not catching a cold and ginger tea is good for colds. Safe travels. 🙏❤
Hey Harry, you should first visit ancient temples and historical places, reckon you gonna grow much faster.
harry if you are seeing then comment then dont ignore it
i would recommend you to go kailsah parvat(mountain) there is a different energy you will feel up there.
i dont wether you would have to take china's visa or if there is a direct way now. but you will surely feel that vibe and also see mansarover lake its crystal clear. and only lake present in the world at that height
These youtuber have a fun life enjoying and earning what a person need more
Hey Harry glad to see a different video from the usual Salon haircut, local barber, Malls, Amusement Parks and Horse ride scams. The recurring themes from Luke Damant, Dale , Mac, you and Ali. I don't want to come off negative but it was getting a bit monotonous.
•Kochi had a Jewish community settled there from King Solomon's time due to trade and later a larger families came in during Jewish persecution etc. Once Israel came into existence in 1948 most of them have moved back to their homeland.
•Also Christianity came to Kerala due to this settlement, it's believed that St Thomas the disciple of Jesus came to India around 54 AD to spread the gospel to the Jewish population here and along with it some locals were also converted.
• The difference between the nazi Swastika and this Indian swastika is right facing and it's used to show sun, prosperity and good luck. The symbol has been used in Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. I am not an expert on it so not delving into it much.
•The last temple you visited is not a Buddhist temple it's actually a Jain temple.
Hoping to see more videos like this that talks about cultural aspects, food and local people. That's kinda my liking it may vary for others.
Take care.
About to watch. Have you heard from Ali? He hasn’t anything in couple days. Just making sure all good
ali is ok dont worry!
The first Christian Church and Muslim Mosque is not in Cohin. It's in the neighbouring district, Thrissur.
Visit- Trivandrum (Capital of Kerala)
And LuLu Shopping Mall in Kochi... the biggest in South India
The biggest is trivandrum Lulu. Kochi Lulu is now the second biggest.
@Harry Jaggard - The Religious symbol is Swastika - its a ancient Indian symbol, can be found also in all Buddhist counties as Buddism originated from India. This symbol has its origin in Hinduism - *Swastika is a symbol of good luck and Prosperity for all*
What Gemans used is not swastika - Its Hekincross or Hooked Cross - Its origin is from Christianity. So what nazis used is a symbol of Christ, as Hitler originally wanted to be a priest in his young days, and Hooked cross was the main symbol in that Church and still is where he grew up.
Love your videos ❤️🔥👍
Thank you 🙌
Oh my prince Harry u really my amazing historian n tour guide..very happy now that I can go all over the world with ur vlogs that I never did when I'm young..so good decision of urs to hv this amazing job..what an incredible spices place , me too I sneezed to hard on those spices..well done n oh if I where u I will give big tips to ur driver n very patient tour guide he deserve it....like u deserve when I show ur vlogs in my colleagues even in all cash office friends to subscribe....thnk u again fr Vancouver Canada...keep safe...

23:38
All those buildings seem so old & should've been built during the colonial era around the 17th, 18th or 19th century. Similar buildings still exist at the Galle Fort in Sri Lanka.
Getting good with learning the language Harry! Your instinct was spot on that he would likely try to sell you on something else but atleast you let him know upfront you weren’t interested. Where’s Ali been? He’s been MIA for almost a week now. Hope everything is ok with him. Cheers brother..see you on the next one
Hi Harry, been following you since Pakistan vlogs, love your content. I've also been following Ali (Go with Ali) but a bit worried about him as hes been posting daily but he hasn't posted a video for a week. Any idea why? Is he okay? Keep up the good work. Jav from the UK.
About the 'swastika' on the Jain temple: "The equilateral cross with its legs bent at right angles is a millennia-old sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism that represents peace and good fortune, and was also used widely by Indigenous people worldwide in a similar vein."
I have been to south once,One thing I got say,The people were very decent and honest.
9:43 "My name is Kunnappan" 😂
23:50
Ah yes. Dutch Building. The Fort in Galle Sri Lanka too is Dutch built. Similar Architecture.
Great explorer you are and keen to travel around the globe. Welcome to Kerala...🙏🙏. Plz for your kind information and general knowledge....HINDI IS NOT THE NATIONAL LANGUAGE OF INDIA
Harry started detoxing soon as he step foot on the Ginger site
Hey Harry, Indian cities like Kochi, Mumbai,Delhi and many more has got metro rail. Please do make a vlog if u travel in those. 😊
Yes you are correct about the symbol harry .glad young man like ya self knows . good vid Harry
Kochi was a major Jewish town back in the day; infact Calcutta had a sizeable Jewish population as well. & goats dont carry rabies :D
I want a video with you and Mac love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
KOCHI OR COCHIN ......IS A NATURAL HARBOUR ....AND NAVAL BASE ....WELLINGDON ISLAND....AWWW..
SOOOOOO MUCH TO SEE HARRY...WE CAN NEVER DO IT IN ONE LIFETIME...
I have been on the binge watch of your vlogs harry lovin it 🇮🇳 hope you have the best trip ever in India mate.
Hi Harry, nice to see you again in your ferrari hehehe nice to see all those people living in this town.thanks for showing,see you in the next video.....
33:46 I just wanted to say that from the video that looks like a Jain Temple not a Buddhist Temple, If I am not wrong.
You are right that's a Jain temple, the rickshaw driver/cum tourist misguided him.
