$2 Train Journey To India's Southern Tip 🇮🇳
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มิ.ย. 2024
- Today we travelled on Indian trains for the first time.
We headed down to Kanyakumari, the southern tip of all India. We travelled in standard second class seating and it was alright to be honest!
Our neighbours on the train were nice and friendly plus we tried some of the famous Tirunelveli halwa on the way. The 6 hour journey flew by in no time.
We then had to take a couple of local buses from Nagercoil to Kanyakumari, where we arrived and checked into our 'palace' for the next few days.
To end the day we nipped out for a coconut and a brew before enjoying some tasty Maharashtrian food.
India is extremely easy to travel around, just very busy and hot which can wear you down fast.

Such nice people
They never disturb your privacy.
Hi Ellis, This is Arun from Chennai. Your Jallikattu video randomly popped up in my TH-cam feed and I was impressed. I started watching your videos from, Day 1 in India, and I'm already hooked. You have a real spark for storytelling, and I have no doubt your channel will reach even greater heights. Keep up the fantastic work! Sending you good vibes from Chennai.
Hey Arun thanks so much for the kind words we appreciate you. Have a wonderful day
It's my hometown , very happy to seeing you are bargaining like pro..
Ahah I try
Nothing quite hits the same as a lovely India train adventure. The landscape looks amazing, so green😍
Here he is! The king of South Asian train journeys. We need to do a longer one in sleeper mate to get the pure vibes

Your bargaining skills is wonderful sir.
Oh thanks sir

1:01 dude became master in bargaining lol😅
Not having it wasn't in mood to be swindled
Santhosh kumar Nobody will give money for Charity. You know well all are hard earned money.
Let see say ,nobody in india till now showed countryside with paddyfield
Nobody?! This part of India is heaven
Those always wants to show bad images of India to degrade Indians
@@EllisWR Indeed ! All they will show is slum ,sewage ,Garbage ,dirty in India
@surendar.. @Ellis showed the dirty pillow also 😂 .. @Ellis made best decision to travel in General Compartment.. trying sweets and snacks.. hope he had nice time to chat with those grandpas in train.. hotel he could have made better decision.. kanyakumari is very hot.. there are so many better hotels to choose by him for comfortable staying and view points.. but he chose economical hotel 😢
@@kamaldeboss I show all the good and bad! This hotel was not cheap was nearly £20, in other countries that gets you a very nice clean room. We don't have a job so we can't afford expensive hotel or luxury, we're normal people.
We really enjoyed the train journey and spent the full 5 hours chatting with our new friends 🙏
Your travel vlog is realistic and shows things as it is and as it happened. Great.
Appreciate you watching 🙏 We film our honest experience
Love your India series both. Showing us the real India. Safe travels!
Hey Willie how's life mate! Hope your doing fantastic 🙏
@@EllisWRI love the way u are managing in tamilnadu, u surely know a thing about india than the rest of the other foreign tourists. U sound a south Indian like us with ur skills.😊
@@EllisWR all good my friend, in Bangkok currently, exploring a bit of your valley :) Great place!
India not a poor country but poor politics going on india by religion .
நம்ப ஊரு காரங்க " புத்திய" காமிச்சி டாங்க " நல்லவேல ஒரு நல்லவர் சீட் கொடுத்தார்
I live in UK here also people do that .. only difference is only seat not available people ask to change
These guys behave like ah0les in train... occupying other's seats.
Especially these ladies love occupying other;s window seats.
love your videos so authentic as always
You both are awesome! Well captured!
Happy travelling south india and have a safe trip!
Thanks so much!!
Hey Ellis, I've been started watching your Indian series yesterday, there is a tough indian guy hidden inside you, you got excellent bargaining skills, pointing out faults surrounding streets cleanliness, keep going lad. They will not listen to us locals even though we complaining alot, hope like you foreigners voice brings us a good luck.🤗
Gen next is working on it..your generation was busy earning and struggling for decent life…just put faith on your gen next ..we have long colonial past and poverty to deal with,,was amused by your comment still licking Whiteman 😂😂😂. Slave mentality will go slowly😂😂😂
SR stands for southern railway
UR stands for Unreserved
Welcome to Tamilnadu India ❤🎉
Mate, you should NOT miss the beautiful state of Kerala 😍♥️🌴🛶🏞️
They don't care about kid state.😎
Marvelous coverage
You are most welcome here in the southern tip
19:36 No, the waste doesn't go to tracks anymore. Didnt you read the sticker on the washroom door saying it's fitted with bio toilet?
Evidently not I apologise aha.
A pocket of snacks you bought it which name is KADALAI MITTAI
It means which is a sweet made up of by the combination of ground nuts and vellam or karuppukkatti.
Vellam means the original form of raw sugar from which white sugar is prepared.
Kadalai mittai is a good snacks for health and making the physical power into strong.
It is a natural food available in the form of snacks all over tamilnadu ,without adding any ingredients to it.
a small town of Kovilpatti which lies
in between the city of Thirunelveli and Madurai ,is a world famous in making KADALAI MITTAI and it is a branded name of manufacturing of kadalaimitty.
Both buses and trains go through
a such town of KOVILPATTI .
Ground nut means VAER KA DA LAI in tamil.
VAER_means root in English.
KADALAI means grains in English
Grains means THANIYAM in tamil.
Super interesting thankyou!
All ways welcome to India brother and sister your happiness and enjoy the life god bless you always stay happy and healthy life 🤍💯✨
Good you choosed to explore n experience to country side ..its challenging but its the real india...metros are adopting foreign culture
Yes we want to experience Indian culture not modern western places!!
This is really a great channel today only came across this channel u cover almost every single places great camera angle view honest reviews hereafter my comment will be on your every video.
Thanks for such kind words ❤️
23:04 - There is a temple at the top of that mountain and the view from up there is out of the world. You can see the landscape locked in mountain from 3 sides and windmills.
You are bargaining like a pro! 👍
Thanks!!!
I hardly comment on videos , this is very good content, this is the way i used to travel when i was a student. Brings back memories.no amount of ac sleeper trains and car travels can beat this. Im glad you could experience it.
really appreciate you watching thanks so much my friend have a fantastic day
That food looked good especially the lemon rice. I miss south India I was last there in 2008 . I loved the place . Keep the vlogs coming 🇮🇳👍
So nice ain't it. Cheers!!
Great broadcast
Sunset and rise is famous in vivekanda rock ,,do visit famous temple and luxurious green fields with dams
Hi brother
Please come to Tiruvannamalai
The temple city 🎉❤
My roots are from south India so it’s great experiencing it through your perspective. Sorry about the bad hotels tho but I’m glad u pointed it out, hopefully the quality of service changes. The train ride was the highlight of your journey :)
Hey thanks so much for watching! The hotels aren't the worst but they are just expensive for the quality! Train rides in India are actually quite nice especially sleeper!
@kam_7250 Why you saying sorry for bad hotels? This happens everywhere in the world, moreover they try to cut corners, it is simple you get what you pay for. No one gives a damn about Indian experience in the West in fact we are looked down upon, not complaining, just saying.
@@pradym2497 It doesn't happen everywhere in the world, in the rest of Asia 1000-1500 rupees gets you a beautiful clean room with WiFi and AC, the standard in India is extremely low and that's OK, needs to improve
@@EllisWR I am afraid you are very unlikely to get 10 years old rate in that price bracket in India anymore as the economy is booming and hotels are getting bookings round the year. You have to shell out more for better comfort and amenities or may have to improve your research to get such a hotel for that price range.
Really loved the pillows, chai and coconut, oh hell our turn there next lol. Great watching your journey!
You'll have a better time, we're moaners aha. How does a pillow even get that color
I know hahaha, a lot of drooling, but they're all like that. I don't mind a bit of moaning, not everything is easy peezy in India. @@EllisWR
@@EllisWR Indians do oil their hair often, that's why
India is my favorite country! Proud to be Indians
🙏
Really enjoyed
U r amazing blogger 🎉🎉🎉❤
Allisa getting PRO😅on picking empty seats on Bus...
Thailand was great but holy cow your India videos are killing it 🤠🤙
That mental population, can't even reply to the comments anymore ffs
I happened to watch your Dindugal, kodaikkanal and Kanya kumari videos.I really enjoyed the simplicity. You seem to be a budget traveller. That's fantastic.The outside noises are making your voice inaudible. I suggest you to attach seperate camera mike. All the best. ❤
I like your south india travel series, it is very realistic and this is the best place.... Don't forget to visit Kerela. Wishing to see with 100k subscribers. All the best. Wishes from a south indian
Thanks so much ♥️
Phulka comes from Hindi verb "Phoolna" means "to swell".
Its made to swell with inside moisture on direct flame after being done a bit on tawa (griddle).
Good luck to you
Welcome to India sir ❤
Thank you for visiting my place....❤❤❤❤❤❤ ANCIENT district......
Check it out, roads are quite clean..not much litter.. Am from India and I went to the same places way back 15 years ago and things definitely improved, for such a low cost budget travel
Side of the train tracks is a landfill tho :(
Lot of love for both of you guys ❤️ from Tamilnadu 💖

I love your camera work

Those candies are made out with jeergam ( one if the spices) in tamil for digestion after eating food.
Whole of India has become your home ,
travel in every direction , even to the many islands of india in the east and west
🙏🙏🙏
Warning you should not go to sentinal Island of India. Prohibited area. You get killed.
I recommend you visit the Queen of Hills in Tamilnadu, The Nilgiris which is full of green hills, valleys and beautiful waterfalls. You will witness some British habits and many memorials. Nilgiris is composed of four majestic places like Coonoor, kotagiri, Ooty and Gudalur. I am sure you will be stunned by the morning dawn and evening dusk while witnessing them in the valleys. Birds will be there to sing which reminiscence in your heart. It has even more beautiful and stunning views. Don't miss it. Nilgiris is not a house it's a home. Thank you
Welcome to India
hey guys ....dont forget to visit Kerala !...(especially Munnar,Vagamun,Alapey, and many more...)
There are different levels of trains from Superfast, Express trains, Local trains, etc etc. and each will have their own class. Also preferences are given to the higher levels of trains when it comes to priority for platforms in train stations to allow the faster trains to reach in time as much as possible.
Loving your videos, You are a lovely couple,
So kind thankyou so much have a wonderful day!!
Just binge-watched all your tamilnadu vlogs... Hope you guys are enjoying our culture and the food, apart from cleanliness and the traffic.
Happy journey and stay safe fellas.
Legend thanks so much
Great content ! Explore the south well, its great ! It's advisable to do some research before you try hotels and places to visit to avoid any bad experience (just like the hotel). Overall, Goodluck !
We just can't afford the nice hotels sadly! We don't have jobs aha so have to get by. India the quality is bad for same price as other places
I loved that about India....i would always need help at train stations and the locals would stay with you until the problem was resolved. Kind of like it became their problem. ❤
Yeah people are always doing this wait until the next train video we got adopted. So kind makes it very easy to travel!
@@EllisWR looking forward to it!👍
Brilliant 😊
เที่ยวให้สนุกนะครับ ❤🇹🇭
Statue you see behind you during end of video is great world known poet wrote great Thirukkural.
40:35 its Jiraga mittai in tamil (jiragam - Cumin , Mittai -candy )
Underrated TH-cam Channel
Thirparappu falls and thottipalam .. nice location bro
Looks nice
Hi, you can also plan to Visit Rameswaram one of the most popular pilgrimage place of India.
If you have a chance please travel by Vanda Bharat train. It's a speed train in India and comfortable for the journey.
Lots of love from Coimbatore,Tamilnadu,please do check out Coimbatore and nearby areas(like Ooty,pazhani ,pollachi(here you get good tender coconut waters)etc)
Come to KERALA Munnaar.
Hi Ellies & Alicia enjoy your life safe travels from 🇹🇭🙏
great train experience ..it is not grass field it is paddy field you travel with local peoeple & food you may get 100k subscirbers within one month. thanks
Yes rice paddy's! Beautiful
actually people usually commute from home to work and back in local train so they buy dished like halwa not as a snack to eat on the train but to take them home for kids . we used to wait every evening for our dad to come home from work with some delicious snacks
Lord Dalhousie served as the Governor-General of India from 1848 to 1856. He is also said to have convinced the British to introduce the railways in India through his famous Railway minutes of 1853. Thus, he is regarded as the father of Indian railways.
Hi Welcome to Kanyakumari.... Bro and sister
Hi Ellis, major Indian train stations (like Dindigul) have electronic display boards hanging from the roof of the platform indicating coach positions from the engine. Maybe you were unaware @ 6:10. If you hold a reserved ticket it has the details of your coach and seat number with which you can roughly position yourself for a train's arrival on a platform. In some stations, announcements are made over the public address system before a train arrives to indicate which coach is where. Get into any coach in case you find yourself at the wrong end and have to walk a long distance to reach your coach. If the train starts in between, it can be very dangerous to board it thereafter. Almost all express trains have vestibules to walk across from one coach to the next, which you can do, if you did not get into yours in the first place. Hope this helps. Enjoy our Incredible India...! Very engaging to watch your videos. BTW, SR is for Southern Railways and UR is for Unreserved (2nd Class sitting).
Thanks so much! Our platform didn't have electronic boards! And the manual ones were wrong we went to where it said! Oh well! Have an amazing day
I came to your channel by CHENNAI vlog.. Your way of vlogging is nice.. 🎉All the best for your future vlogs bro.. ❤
Thanks ♥️
Anybody notice he looks like Gautam karthick tamil actor😊
Nice observation
I live in the Netherlands, I watch your videos for hours without blinking these 2 weeks all night. I miss Tamil Nadu, the food, the people. Thank you so much for making me feel home 💖🏡 . Have a great journey ❤️.
Your an absolute legend thanks so much 🙏🙏🙏
Welcome tp kanyakumari.

Basmati Rice from India was ranked no.1 recently.

Yes good man!
South India at it best vlog from non Native .. very good job
Thanks soo much
Have a good time in my hometown, its one of the more quieter places in TamilNadu
Cheerss☺
This has got me crackin' up from the get go! 😂
This journey wasn't the worst ever, but not the best ahah like a hot sardine can in there
@@EllisWR I can imagine! Sweating buckets 'n what have ya! Helps get rid of any toxins 'n that though, I suppose, good for ya skin 'n all! 💅💃😂
I have been to kanyakumari last week. Bargaining level is great!
Amazing vlog with original content.
Your intent is good
It is raw and real content
Alwa/Halwa you had in train is a delicacy special from tirunelveli and it’s popular and rare to find across the state.
U go to tiruchendur.. Beach and murugan temple famous
WOW your bargaining skill are epic level have to take class from you. Hotel is a bummer other than all is good
The Scottish accent of yours, makes the trip somewhat interesting for me especially in regards to this spectacular tour of yours in the heartland of Tamil Nadu. Both of you have truly blended in like the natives eating curries,idlis,dosas,porattas,vadais,aappem,ponggal,Biryanis on banana leaves. I would suggest you guys try fish curry dishes next. Kanyakumari is well known for its seafood dishes.
I can see why this comment didn't get a like from them, you just called an Englishman's accent as "Scottish". Don't ya know he's from Blackburn? lol
@@JayandSarahSounded Scottish to me, though. Didn't know it could be an insult. I thought Scotland and England still in the same country. All speak English right?
@@yut-his-d-king5685 well, they may not actually be insulted, but people from the UK can take their identity very seriously and distinct. It was a bit of a joke. Having said that...
Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England form the UK, they are essentially countries in their own right within the UK, with their own capitals, parliament etc.
People from Scotland identify as Scottish, not English. English is for people from England. Welsh from Wales. Nobody would identify as being UK'ish. The UK is the collective group of countries in the Kingdom. For economic purposes, the UK is listed as the "country".
That's why when people ask where they are from, Ellis replies "England". These days lots of people might just say "I'm from the UK", but if someone tells you they are from England, it tells you very specifically what they identify with. Hope that is some good information for you! Have a great day!!!!
Welcome to Bharat Bro 🇮🇳🙏
