- Tough day on the road here India, no worries I‘m not sick it’s just exhaust fumes all over my face😅 luckily I had a fantastic breakfast in Wayanad and topped of my internet on the phone! Over 6h for 200km! These roads here are no joke and crazy busy today! 1 truck got me stuck quite a while but I got back on the road eventually and off to Thrissur. Hopefully I can plug eve in at the hotel! India is not for beginner, I know ou told me;) Ps. What’s up with that 100 rupee not? Pps. How many people can you fit on a royal Enfield?😃

@@MarcTravels Actually Kerala Police has banned "Go pro", watch out they might fine you!
@@MarcTravels it's unavailable, send a different number
Marcus One small tip applicable all over India esp Kerala : Do horn when taking turns. Its a life saving technique here. West despise or hates Horn, in india it is communication 😅
It really is
We even press it once when buses give way to let us overtake them to say "thanks".
We just need to turn that high frequency a lil bit down in that case
Yes marcus it’s highly recommended, do horn.❤
Especially because he rides an EV and nobody can hear him
thats true 😂
You can get that note changed in any bank
The German a$$ head 😂
or easily at fuel station
Two days back i went to sbi to xhange a torn 500 note but they told me that i should have to stick the torn part with the torn piece of note with A4 paper 😢
@@modernmallufriend2199 never go to SBI for any work. They are lazy people. They just do launches all the day
@@modernmallufriend2199 just get it changed in markets near bus stops or train stations it's easy
Those Kerala buses are a marvel of technology. The are driven mercilessly on hills and their engines are rated to 500k km. They’ve been made by two Indian companies (Ashok Leyland and TATA) for nearly 70 years and are exported to any place where ruggedness is more important than comfort like Africa or Southeast Asia
Those buses are just indestructible
Leyland is a British company, they tied up with Ashok.
@@indicstoic7849 yea no, ashok Leyland just copied the name "leyland"
Marvel, but turn people to DC. 😂😂
YES AND THEY DESTROY SO MUCH LIVES EVERY MONTH 😔@@MarcTravels
Kinda cool to see someone travel round the world with a E Bike.
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
I am rediscovering my country through your eyes Marc
Awww i love to hear that ❤️
I completely agree. It was 12 years before I drove myself on that roads of Kerala. Amazing roads I will never forget
beautifully said, sitting here in delhi the smog and stuff, vid like these ar treat to eyes
+1 I don't get time to travel and explore. But why do I need to worry when I have Marc.
Beware of Kerala buses .In open roads like that buses do overtaking through your lane also.. So beware when you open that throttle...
Will be careful 🤙🏼
@@MarcTravelsand autorickshaw's too, they'll turn directions suddenly, whenever they feel like to, and doesn't use their turn indicators either. Also they might try to scam you when they find you're a foreigner (doesn't even have to be a foreigner, even Keralites from different districts gets overcharged if the rikshaw driver see's that we don't know the locality or route much). Always use apps like ola/uber to book autos and cabs, i believe no one else other than them rips people off in Kerala.
Hi Marc, enjoying your videos very much. Please be extra cautious on turns/bends while in kerala. Bus/truck etc recklessly overtake in turns also. Better slow down at bends to avoid surprises.
Bro in turning and overtaking ..use horn
Sounds like the mini buses in Guyana. They caused so many road accidents and deaths in Guyana.
Stopped my work and started watching your video😂 മലയാളീസ് ആരേലുമുണ്ടോ 😍😍😍

Great video thanks mark I’m a disabled man and it brings me so much joy to watch your videos thank you regards Dave in 🇬🇧
We changed disabled as “specially abled” in India. It’s show dignity and respect to specially abled people. Truly amazing step by the government.
Advanced congratulations on 100k subs. The only vehicle you need to be a bit cautious in Kerala are the KSRTC buses, they could be a bit crazy sometimes. But anyway, enjoy the stay and I am enjoying your content as well. Eagerly waiting for the next video.
Thanks mate
He Marcus, you are almost getting the 100K!!!
And another fine video ...
So close!🤩
@MarcTravels
Bro.. Wayanad is one of the most picturesque locations of Kerala. Sad that your tight schedule and the hot weather must have made it difficult to enjoy the scenic locations. Calicut is a foodie paradise and you've totally bypassed it.
Next time!
Yeaa! The ideal months to visit the western ghats were from July- Jan...it wouldve been epic...Next time try to schedule it in these months! You'll enjoy it
@@MarcTravels
Don't miss Ooty as well. Early morning ride from Mysore/Wayanad to Ooty is an unforgettable experience.
@@MarcTravels maybe kuttanadu will work bro
@@MarcTravels You should try the Kerala Halwa if you have a sweet tooth said to be the best in the world
(I'm stuck) - clickbait !! You were only delayed, 'stuck' is a more permanent state than you showed on here. Great vlog again and as always hugely informative and enjoyable. Stay safe Marc.
Cheers mate 😊🤙🏼
It's not winter right now, pretty much in to summer by March over here. You should come back during monsoon when Kerala is truly magical. The whole of Konkan actually... A ride from Munnar to Mumbai durning monsoon would be a blast, trust me!
Actually he is uploading video from past bro .
Marc, im following u from the beginning of your travels, very nice posts and drone shots. 1st time im making a comment. U can exchange that torn note at any bank. In India torn notes are not accepted by people. Keep up the good posts and keep Eve happy. Cheers from Goa ❤
Thanks for the tips!
Hi Marc, verfolge ALLE deine Videos seit Albanien. Vielen Dank, dass du mir die weite Welt ins kleine Liechtenstein bringst & mach weiter so!👏👌
Freu mich und mach ich sehr gern! Danke fürs mitkommen ❤️
Never forget to take a ride through Gap Road in Munnar
Will do
Yeah it will be an experiene for you also try to eplore vattavada and ramakkalmedu on your visit to munnar must visit place.@@MarcTravels
If he is going to Munnar there is a turn at Erumelli. lot of accidents take place there.
Plz Be careful there
Congratulations already for 100k
Wish you had more fun in India and a good luck from mee 😃👍
Thank you so much 😀 I love India 🇮🇳
Der Abend ist gerettet, danke für die schönen Impressionen von Indien, auf den Video sieht das immer so schnell aus wenn du durch die Kurven fährst, aber der Tacho sagt was anderes,😂 und so ein Protektorenhemd habe ich mir auch aus China kommen lassen, jetzt muß es nur noch warm werden, meine Entfield und ich können es kaum erwarten, Gruß Dirk 🍀😊🏍️
your editing sense is superb....your Videos makes me feel good going through the tough times...subscribed :)
Thanks for showing your food . All other vloggers do it. I am a retired chef so other countries foods interest me very much. Happy traveling!!!
My pleasure 😊
Congrats Marc for hitting that first 100k!! Love Eve's accelarting sound!! Thats sound so cool!! Cheers mate.
Thanks a ton!
Hey marc. Been following your journey, it's been great man. Also congrats on 100k subs. ❤❤
Enjoyed, another great production, Marc. I understand the thrill of riding a bike fast on curvy roads, but passing on blind corners on the side of a mountain road is insanity. Even a slight accident with an oncoming 2-ton car or 10-ton bus, may damage Eve’s front forks, and more importantly, the risk of personal injury. Either one could end your quest, and as you have previously mentioned, slow down and smell the roses. Oh, LOL, as long as my butt is OK, spoken like a true biker. 😀
I wanted to tell him the same! It's very very important!!!
17:40 BRO LITERALLY CALLED A FESTIVAL A FUNERAL
Viyyur Perunnal🥳

That's awesome I wish you best and we will be with you in the whole route 💥
Great landscape! Great job!🤗🫶

Advance congratulations for 100k bro ,be careful 👍👍
Congratulations for 100k🎉🎉🎉
Marcus I do worry about you sometimes when your having fun on the twisties, coming out of those lefthand bends on the white line🙈. That one car nearly got you when doing the same going in the other direction🙈🙈ride safe my freind🤗
Don’t worry I’m a professional 😉🤙🏼
@@MarcTravels Those who come in opposite direction are not professionals😀. They may overtake on curves and come in the wrong lane.
you can change that 100 rupee note at any bank, If you are still in india.
Hi Marcus, that breakfast looked awesome! Thanks for another great video. TC
congrats on 100k dude
Southern part of India is beautiful..🤌
Ever been to Himalayas ?
Ladakh is on another level.
whole india is beautiful in our eyes, unlike you we north indian dont divide india on basis of north south
These South minds are corrupted by fake dravidian ideology
@@trapmusic-soulpitfalltrap5987 exactly brother, unfortunately our brothers and sisters from South are still trapped by their politicians for last 70 years in this vicious cycle of hate for rest of India.
Congratulations for 100k❤ from Andra Pradesh 🇮🇳
Not there yet
May be next day 😊
Congrats for 100k 😀👍
Started watching your videos yesterday, now binge watching all your videos on the Electric Bike
There are more Indian subscribers than German subscribers on this channel.That's why most of the foreigners came to India For the hospitality here.
Northeast India is way less crowded and more prettier than the whole of India. Except Kashmir and ladakh ofcourse.
Mark we are waiting for youuuuuuuuu. Love you❤️
See you soon 🔜
Make a trip to ladakh
You will love it will be amazed by the nature
South and western ghats is like heaven when you travel in monsoon season
@@HydraSumit-qm9fq but someone said there isnt any winter in the south😌
@@RoninSamurai. Western ghats I am belong from west in winter or monsoon season it's heaven 😊
Thanks for putting in the time to produce such great videos!
Ahhh....back to the rides....epic. Sound edit brilliant on this one👍👌
Kerala is a thin strip of coastal land nestled between high mountain ranges on one side and Arabian sea on the other. There is only so much space for the 40 million people in the state. So it has the highest population density, combined with very high vehicle density when compared to rest of India. Its a hot tropical place, with high population/vehicle density and you have landed up there in summer. Good luck.
Not highest population density
@@sharath902 Kerala has the highest percentage of urbanized land, with 4th highest urban population percentage and 3rd highest general population density.
So what they were trying to convey is that, kerala is a small state with most of its areas urbanized and with such high share of urban population as well means most of areas in Kerala is jam packed.
Unlike most other states, Kerala does not have nearly any rural areas, as it has the highest level of urban spread.
Other states have pockets of urban areas here and there and rest of the state is largely swaths of rural areas, while it's the exact opposite in Kerala- few pockets of rural moderately populated areas peppered in between largely urbanized areas
@@aleenaprasannan2146 urbanization eas not what he was talking about, kerala is not even there in the top 5 most densely populated states.
@@sharath902 They are talking about general congestion on roads and vehicular density- to a biker, not some statistics officer. Ofcourse urbanization matters, because roads and vehicular density directly relates to urbanization. You just glanced at list of population density and didn't look at details, huh? Kerala is the 3rd most densely populated State. Those in the top of the lists are not States, they are tiny Union territories with miniscule areas.
And we are talking about states here.
And overall population density of the state alone is not the mayyer of significance here, since we are talking about vehicular density and congestion in roads which is caused by urban population and not the population in rural areas.
If a large state has large overall population density, without high urban population percentage or urbanized land percentage, that means most of their land is rural empty land with, miles and miles of empty roads with few vehicles and traffic. However, if a state is small, with high population density, large percentage of urban population and large percentage of urbanized land, that means areas around most of their roads will urbanized, and since their urban population share is larger, those roads along urban regions will be jam packed, since they will have less of large remote areas of nothingness.
This is a bikers' channel. What do you think op is talking about here? Vehicular density in the roads or just random existance of people to bring population density without context?
When you try to argue about something, try not to just out right deny the existance of any context of who the person is talking to and why, just to make regurgitating one statistical point without context more convenient.
@@aleenaprasannan2146 when did bihar become a unior territory? Stop with there essays, he said kerala is the most densely populated region in India.. It is not true..bihar is so underdeveloped but the population density is far beyond what we can imagine.
Bro if you have a 5g mobile then internet is literally unlimited u can use as much as u can there is no limit make use of this in India
Really?
@@MarcTravels yes, I got 1 year unlimited plan from reliance jio on switching over to Their 5G network.
@@MarcTravels yes
Hi Marc, I binged last weekend on your episodes, I missed a few just before you went to go Goa, funny enough looks like my wife is getting hooked on your videos, sittign dow nand watching with me (well she's indian so there maybe some bias! LOL) Love the country side since you hit the first coffee plantation the roads are amazing!
I test rode the Zero SF and was blown away by the immediate power and torque, but range anxiety would ruin our tours for sure! Ride safe marc

The joy of riding a bike - I found it the closest thingbto flying a light aircraft. When I was training, my Instructor kept telling me "fly it like a motorbike - get up it" and he was right. Love your Indian travels, what a beautiful country. Ride safe 👍
Im so intrigued by watching these videos. I don't ride bikes but damn you make want to learn riding out. You make it look so exhilarating.

Hey Marc,
Grüße aus Deutschland! I absolutely love your biking videos! Your bike looks amazing, and your exploration of this beautiful country is truly inspiring.
Speaking of beautiful places, have you ever considered traveling to Northeast India? I'm from Assam, and places like Shillong in Meghalaya, Assam itself have some breathtaking scenery and unique cultures waiting to be discovered. ️
I wish I could whisk you away to Assam myself! It's truly a hidden gem of India. Maybe someday your travels will take you there!
Keep up the fantastic videos!

Can’t wait to see what’s next Marc. Coastal could be refreshing. We shall see. ❤😂
We shall see
Marc it is summer here now. And this year we had a heat wave. Our winter is mostly rainy. We call it the monsoon season. It is starts in April.
man i just love your vlogs, and i didn’t even realise that i was not subscribed, jeezzhhh thats on u, u didnt even remind me haha 😂
jokes aside man, i love your vlogs, i just know you gonna get very big someday.
All the best man.
ey, you are in south india and a lot of places there have a very low Bortle level (scale of light polution) prolly like bortle 4 or even less at places, and that means if u look up at night you will get a very good view of the stars, and a slight peak of of milkyway will start to came later this month (everyday midnight) the close you are to the equator.
Clear skies.

Congratulations you have now 100K followers🎉🎉🎉🎉
22:45 MARC, DEFINITELY GO TO MUNNAR YOU WILL LOVE THAT PLACE :) ❤
When you get chance do explore up north like Ladakh, loving the content :)
Yeah boy, it felt great laying back watching uou cruise the crowded roads. Felt much safer wuth my new rt knee resting it. Beautiful place. What a breakfast but very healthy looking. Delicious. Good roads. That heat can be overwhelmingly tough. You are just on the fringe of it. All goodman. You'lk probably run into Marious on the next hostel stayover. Safe travels where ever you are now
Gg for 100k, and yes for the 100rs note, u can go to a bank and replace it, since it is just a small notch. You can ask the locals for a nearby bank, or u can search it up in maps
O gosh I soooo can feel you. I'm at more than 50k km with my SR/F and am anxiously waiting for wormer weather here in Europe ...😅
Marc, Congratulations for 100k in advance 🎉🎉🎉
Don’t jinx it 🫣
@@MarcTravels No dude, it will happen right tomorrow, Mark my words Marc😎
It wasnt breakfast only... it was their appreciation and hospitality with love.❤

Tolle Videos. Ich hoffe, du hast eine wunderbare Zeit in Kerala. Wirst du bald nach Trivandrum kommen?
The scooter you saw is Ather 450x, its a complete Indian Scooter which has had a strong RND and is really well performing and good quality scooter. To be simple its like the Ultraviloette of Scooters. Ather has the most charging networks as well all over India
i like the traveling day's videos. it's so interesting to watch. but nothing against sightseeing.
Yeah it’s both good fun 🤩
On way from Thrissur to Kochi, you can take a small deviation from Chalakudy and visit Athirapally waterfalls. Good road for bike ride.
Stay for atleast 2 days in Kochi. Lot to explore
Dont miss Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey houseboat stay and Varkala in Kerala
hi man I am loveing your videos
Hey Marc hope u doin' well buddy. Welcome to India . Started following your vlogs recently. I'm not really an EV lover 😅 But its impressive how you are cruising through the country on that motorcycle . Absolutely love the spirit . Just wanted to wish you the very best. I hope you have a safe journey full of memories . Have fun, explore more, Stay safe and do seek necessary help from the local authorities like the cops whenever needed. And yes ! Stay hydrated . India is a furnace now . Do feel free to get in touch if you are planning to explore the Eastern side of the country . I'm posting from Kolkata ( WB). Take care. Ride safe 🏍 ☺
