- Today we're exploring the rural India you don't see here on TH-cam.
We're in the countrysides near the Tamil Nadu/Kerala border and it's bloody wonderful.
We spent the whole day wandering around enjoying the incredible Indian countrysides all while meeting some of the friendliest locals and eating some of the very best food.
For us these are the most beautiful parts of India 🇮🇳

Please visit thirparappu waterfalls, that is beautiful waterfall in kanyakumari dist
Mate you are top class..
Visit Vizag. We have good beaches, church, old Buddist monasteries, ancient Temples, and very scenic locations.
Countryside pls
Pongal is major festival in Tamilnadu so ur going 2 see people thronging to public places,
Also mostly in major cities u find migrant workers from other states esp north ... Doing the jobs like in shops, tea makers , serving in restaurant. .
And importantly Tamilnadu faced one the worst storms and rainfalls, floods so the coastal areas are flooded streets and dirty beaches ...
And in Chennai u picked the old inner-city areas which are basically commercial so only moving of goods and going to be too hectic .... not too good to have a good easy walkaround. ...
This place u chose is a good small village. Anyway what's it called. .is it Tamilnadu or kerala. ..GUESS IT'S TN.
I am a Malaysian-born Indian of Tamil origin.....really tears moistened my eyes looking at your vlogs......obviously you made me miss my ancestral land......terrific vlogs seeing you mingling with people so easily and casually...my late grandma always tells me, that India is a land of spiritual wisdom.....looking at your vlogs made me realise how correct was my grandma.....people with pure souls, full of smiles & typical Tamil hospitality..all I could recollect was my grandmother's saying of a hymn in Sanskrit ' MAATHRU DEVO BHAVA, PITHRU DEVO BHAVA, AASAANYA DEVO BHAVA ADHITHI DEVO BHAVA" - literally meaning, mother, father, teachers & guests are akin to gods..so accord them reverence and treat them kindly with respect like how you revere GOD. I felt as if traversing with you and Alishha along the journey. God bless you both, Ellis. & Alisha..have a wonderful stay in my ancestral land, where my soul always is
I’m from Padmanabhapuram (Kanyakumari district)and watching this video from Birmingham (England) makes me miss my hometown more.
It's sooooo nice. People are amazing
I have watched a lot of foreign youtubers visiting India. But to be honest ur the real OG tourist ur visiting nook and corner of tamilnadu. Respect 🫡🫡. If you have time do visit kelladi in madurai you'll get to know the rich history of Tamils.
These guys already covered bit of Madurai.
@@Fungun491 yes I know. It's not an order just a suggestion. Maybe if he could or if time permits.
Your suggestion is good, but not everyone is interested in history and archaeology, most of the people want to explore current culture, food, lifestyle, etc .
@@nmkkannan1256 you can't speak for everyone
I guess you are posting the same comment in all of the vlogs u watched 😶
I am watching your video from north india a i say south people are so humble so cute 🥺
Hi i am suriya South Indian 😗😚🙏
🙏❤️
I have not seen anyone showing Indian village so beautifully.
🙏🙏
My mouth waters as I see you enjoying food...
I will visit south again.
India is beautiful
I'm from scotland, thanks for covering all spots of rural areas, lovely people. Enjoy your time with all types culture , traditions and food.
Cheers thanks so much
I am from Tamil Nadu and it's nice to see you both showing the places, giving respect to the local people and not humiliating them. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. I've become a fan of your blog.
Really do appreciate you thankyou 🙏
This is charm of typical Indian small town where people have lot of time. Believe me small towns in India are quite like this. Young people move to Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai for jobs. People cook using firewood , sit together for chatting, enjoy lunch together , people devote time for religious duty, people live in nature.
You summed it up well...
I have been to Africa like nations in South of India.
I didn't like too much attention but that what you get for being whyte😉
Loved all the positive treatment though...
@@breezeanonymous6034its not positive treatment its the culture so enjoy it and get out😂😂
Dont know how you reached this much interior,,in rural...but just renewed another new bar in exploring India !
🙏🙏🙏
Fine and nice willys
sorry Ellis 👍👌♥️
@@EllisWRwherever u go in south INDIA u will get best food . U have to ask like meals.. loved ur videos friend.. please visit Kerala karanataka Hyderabad
First of all this is not an remote area, its padmanapuram municipality , moreover kanyakumari district has more urban area with high population density .
Amazing that you guys covering Southern India. I am sick of those vloggers covering busy streets of India its street foods. Something refreshing
Vloggers just copy and appease people for views I hate most of them ahah
Do you just have to say bad abt others to post your opinion??
It's really relaxing when u go away from chaos of big cities to villages.
It's heavenly
The unknown secret of visiting rural is , a single day spent will increase 10 day total life span,,,for the quality of local vegetables,food, fresh unpolluted air !
🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@EllisWRmay -b-
nicely said!
This is the place where state and union regime blast mountain and bring it to kerala for biding friends port. They are destroying thus nature and ckam and quite and humble people life. Everyday 6000 trucks of load of broken mountain with bleeding TN earth was dnuged each day..
Then all the guys in that village will be living for 100+ years
I again and again say South people are very nice honest and simplecity.. I m from North though😅
Sooo why all people around the world cheating us 😢
Bad and good people are everywhere.
North and South both constitute India. North also has its beauty.
We know youre from north coz in south we dont hold caste name behind our names 😁
@@mubarak1330 It's wrong info🙅. South people do 🤦. You might be either from North or TN to say so🙎
This video is filmed around Padmanabhapuram 🇮🇳
Madurai??
@@mansukku Kanyakumari district, Thakalai
@@Kv2024feb5 oh wow thx.. will plan to visit for sure.. I love village life!!
@@mansukkuthuckalay, Kanyakumari dist
Thanks...I was wondering where is this place.
In india outskirts of cities are so much cleaner , greener, fresh air , brids sounds😊😊😊😊
It’s so good to see how you are embracing India and trying local street food without any hesitation, kudos to you both. Loved it. Bless you guys.
Thanks so much!!
The "Thuckalay ❤ " location of this TH-camr is in Tamil Nadu's Kanyakumari district. These folks and the town they live in are excellent. There are organic food options accessible. Indians, please remember that you will always have wonderful recollections from your visit to Thuckalay Town.
It's a heavenly place
Thank you showing real India and Tamil Nadu. Happy to see that Tamilnadu is only getting better in treating tourist with respect and showing love. I couldn’t see any one forcing their business on the tourist and also, we could see many ladies becoming entrepreneurs & they speak with so much of confidence. Proud of Tamilnadu culture and we should stay this way….
Tamil Nadu is amazing
Tamil Nadu and Kerala is always different from rest of India! Guys, you need power try to eat some meat specially Beef.
Weve eaten a lot down here!! @@skay6895
This looks more like Kerala than TN. People look like Malayalis.
@@skay6895wdym Lil boy ??? Whole India is like this except some places eg bhiar
I have seen hell lot of TH-cam’rs vlogging India, you are entirely different and awesome.
You know how to behave with local without hurting their feelings.
The way you respect them is plausible.
Thanks so much we really appreciate that 🙏🙏
I think it's the best video I've seen from a foreign blog about India..
You just went to the right places and experienced beautiful rural India in the right way...
I'm sure your channel will be so popular soon.. that's how your content is.. Great job guys..
Such kind words thankyou so much
I love how hospitable and welcoming people are
What a beautiful sight bro.❤❤
Isn't it!!
One thing i want to appreciate is you are not being judgemental towards workers/people in small or very old restaurants in rural places. You are being polite towards them and the villagers are very supportive.
To experience the culture, one has to visit the village. At one point half the village will be at market, then some chit chat, temple, festivals. Villages are a vibe
We respect everyone 🙏
I am from India & living in Singapore, Nice to see in Tamil Nadu all people understand English & speak English
Good Video
Tamiland in Singa_poor of course
You guys are so polite and kind towards others. Thanks for your visit. 🥰
Love from Jammu and Kashmir ☑️❤
Best place tbh.
Rural part of india is greatest adventure wheter its south india ....northeast , ladakh , kashmir , rajsthan , punjab , madhyapradesh all are different in culture and great rural adventure.
நீங்கள் நன்றி கூறும் உச்சரிப்பு கேட்க மிகவும் நன்றாக இருக்கிறது 🎉
Watching this while having my morning idly
Epic!
Welcome in India.. I proud to be indian❤🇮🇳
🙏🇮🇳
1:03:57 Man you are a one lucky one.....they way she removed the bones of fish and made sure it had none before she put it in ur plate.....she's so sweet and kind lady
Yes she is amazing 🙏
Nadaswaram and melam are the best tamil people's divine musical instruments❤❤❤
It’s 4.30am here in the UK and I got a notification from you. Gonna be a good 1 hour and 40 minutes 😊
Appreciate you ❤️
I can watch such videos for hours....delightful village.
Cheers really appreciate it!
the the discussion happening to choose the soda, was hilarious. the guy made it good.
I hope this channel receives more views, so that tourists have an idea to explore different parts of India. Keep at it mate!!
Legend ❤️🙏
After seeing that idly i miss my mom now 😢
Home cooked is best
the most authentic india tour ever...❤️hats off 🙌 ✨
🙏🙏🙏
This is the place where I live ❤, the exact place ❤ *Thuckalay* ❤.
I AM FROM NORTH BUT LOVE SOUTH INDIAN FOOD AND MASALA DOSA IS JUST MY FAVOURITE DISH.
Hello from California
I am also south Indian.
Indian food is full of flavors some foreigners can't take easily. Travelers are lucky they eat any food. I am jealous, i try only veg 😒
Indian food is so good
Watching from northeast india ❣️
Rural TN is heaven... Look how wealthy and peaceful they are... Some really wealthy houses there.
They focused on education rather than bringing fringe elements like religions to the mainstream.
Literacy rate in Kanyakumari district is 91.75 percent that wealth came from education
Because thats kaniyakumari district
You are properly experiencing Tamil Nadu I haven’t seen any other foreigner doing this way
We like to. Explore 🙏
@@EllisWR Have a good time! Try visiting Kerala for your next state. It’s more tropical and lush green. Each state in India has unique culture, festivals, language, food etc
If you can extend your visa and would like to visit desert like landscape you can visit Rajasthan. If you like snowy mountains visit Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh, J&K in the north. If you want to visit the hippie modern India you can visit Bangalore, Mumbai etc
This place is Thucklay which holds a very heritage in Trivandrum Kanyakumari history, its very near to my ancestral house .
I am commenting this from Uk , Glad a English men is enjoying my Place . 😊
Many foreign media usually portray India negatively but one has to be there to experience india first hand to appreciate the place , the people, the culture and the food😊
I'm impressed that you go to local shop and reviews genuinely ❤. I appreciate that
We love it
Indians are very welcoming they leave you inside their home, inside their kitchen , they share all their knowledge yet being blessed with all the treasures of earth proud to be an Indian by race and have a get great pride in myself for being born here in Tamil Nadu where hospitality is the core in all our hearts and welcome you to South Indian and I live in Canada please and thank you 🙏
I love the way you are exploring every possible things..and how you don't exaggerate things... love from Malta..I wish i explore India one day like you doo..
Legend thanks so much 🙏🙏
Indians have good hospitality which you can feel all over your trip in India happy journey and God bless you guys

அடி உங்கொம்மாலோக Cringe கூதிங்களா. இந்த வசனத்த எப்போ தாண்ட நிறுத்த போறீங்க 😂😂😂.
Come on, be broad minded. The whole of India is kind hearted, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, Gujarat to Bengal.
Thanks for supporting local brand, our people should learn to support local products than promoting corporate ones
Also countryside is what I enjoy in your videos
I had an awesome time exploring rural India with you guys sitting here on my sofa in London :). The raw vlog really brings out the true nature of people. I have only ever visited cities and large towns, the vibes there are at a different level. Awesome, thank you.
Thanks so much!!! It's heaven around here. Hope London great for you!
Now I need to do this trip. That lunch place looks 👌.
It's bloody beautiful
Ellis! Great video. Thanks for covering rural India.
Thanks for watching. It's lovely out here
wow... insanely beautiful!
I know right!
Indian soul is in its villages. We have more than 500000 villages all over. Tgry are back bones our economy
Vow i enjoyed your video so much, Awesome food, i havent been to this rural village. thanks for sharing. Im a Singaporean tamil. you speak good tamil
Thanks so much for watching! How do you like Singapore? Tamil people are great 🙏
India is a country of rural villages. All the culture,languages are preserved in villages from big heart people…
This is what other people need to see if someone wanna see a real side of India…
The villages of south India, nd Haryana panjab have different place in my heart… sorry coz I haven’t been to all states in India.
wow! that fresh air and those coconut trees and everything looks green and the people are friendly and loving pure hearts with much postivity around makes one feel amazed this type of environment only comes from southern parts of india...
But no waste management anywhere in India. All pristine places are filled with plastic.
Even tamil people won't say nandri like u say to others, that's a kind gesture. ❤
Just amazing, how you take everything positively instead of complaining about hygiene or other bad things
Gotta be light hearted even if stuff is bad aha. Even if we moan we just get on with it! Weve had no hygiene problems in India luckily!
During lunch the guys in the background were discussing with the owner like “tell them what is the combination to eat, don’t just name them… He was about to eat the whole piece of pickle.. you have to lick it for the mild taste not the whole thing” in tamil
Ahah I wasn't gonna eat it all! Was just eating a little. Bit!
One of the best video about South Indian daily life in rural area ..tq❤
🙏❤️
Incredible India. Variety of food, people of different faiths, warm and friendly people, different geography, language but living together.
The best part about Tamil people is that they always smile. Even if there is a stranger. N their food is next level. But nice video.
Amazing people
I am blessed to born as tamilian, happy to live in Tamilnadu
It's always Alex, never Ellis when you introduce yourself. 😂. People are so kind and hospitable.
Ahah true. Yes so kind
Every one showed cuty part and urban part of the country, you people are showing really India bro. APPRECIATED😊
Have been recently watching your videos, your perspective is different from other foreign youtubers and i like that. Keep.doing what you are doing and thanks for showing the rest of the world the beauty of rural India !
Nice video and you landed in a real South Indian town. You don't have to say thank you for every serving, only at the end with a compliment about the meal. Pickle is to be eaten with yogurt rice at the end, not by itself or with rice alone.
We're polite English aha
you are the one who exploring Tamilnadu in Artful way ,thats really enthusiast to see .wishes to reach more heights 💚
Very nice warm welcome India 🇮🇳
Tamil Nadu one of the most welcome culture 🙏 good hospitality
Do more of the longer videos Ellis! Feels a lot more immersive !
I enjoy them!!
The name of the dress washing by a man is VAETTI that is a traditional dress for men in Tamilnadu.
Welcpme to south india & Thanks for visiting coimbatore! That's my birth place and palakkad is at kerala was an beautiful place with chavakkad beach❤️👑💪🏽👏🏼🌟
Am also from Tamilnadu, for few weeks am following you and subscribed, you couples are true explorers. Thanks for exploring my native state village side.
Wow!! Makes me miss India so much!! The people have big hearts!! Love the simple and natural lifestyle!

🙏❤️
Tamil Nadu is one of the best places of myn
I felt Happy by seeing ur vedio of Tamil Nadu rural places

1:00:06
The man was teasing that lady sarcastically saying, "you served them food but didn't teach them how to eat" 😂
Just bcs he warned them abt the pickle 😂
One of the best videos on India. Thanks.😊
Thanks we really appreciate it 🙏
Hello sir. The food in India is almost always freshly prepared, it is a norm not exception. Enjoy it sir.
The food here is so good
Watching with my European wife. Enjoying this vlog. ❤
Really appreciate it thanks alot!!
Hello Ellis , from Trichy , TamilNadu , India (center of TamilNadu) to south TamilNadu (towards Madurai) , people are really good .They are kind , helpful , and show more respect to others. It's very uncommon in a place like Chennai. Tamils are great. I have been watching most of your videos .it's very good 👍
Mate you and Alisha look like amazing humans. You’re even putting me to shame, an Indian who hasn’t spent that much time exploring the land. Well done for immersing in true india. Respecting ways of the people, their way of life, doing your best to blend in and learning about Indias traditions and food. Well done and god bless !!
Banana leaves are common for South India. You will pretty much get any hotels located in villages and towns.
Tamil nadu best state to visit
For foreign tourists ❤💕
Really happy that you are enjoying India.....
I must say I like India's countryside. It's peaceful and cleaner as oppose to the cities. Your host lady seems really sweet, E & A.
Yes it's very nice definitely our favourite
Just outstanding vlog! Loved it so much!
The milk tea at the end is looking perfect.... enjoy your stay in India...you will really enjoy the hospitality and warmth of India in the villages
You are living Bharat. I love your videos. Love from Kerala.
Nice video, brother. Explore more places in india, looking forward to those videos.
