Hello Lavi and Ollie
I know you are still in Kerala, but please know about The 2025 Prayag Kumbh Mela, also referred to as the 2025 Maha Kumbh, is the ongoing iteration of the Maha Kumbh Mela. It is scheduled to take place from 13 January to 26 February 2025, at the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. This event marks the completion of a 12-Kumbh Mela cycle and is officially termed a Maha Kumbh Mela, spanning 45 days
It will end on Feb 26th you i suggest you visit Prayagraj once.
Google more about Kumba Mela 2025. Once and life time opportunity.
This is the summer season it is very difficult to travel during the day in Kerala coz scorching hot guys!!! normally you cannot tolerate the weather of Kerala.. very hot.. For a couple of years we ourselves can't tolerate because temperature is increasing as compared to past years.. you missed Athirappilly's real beauty.. In mansoon it is amazing!!My hometown is also in Thrissur.
That was heartbreaking when watching that you were both carrying a heavy backpack!!
Anyway let's take some rest and be safe
❤ and hugs
Please come to Alappy❤️
Some scene of the Bahubali movie was shot here.
Kerala is really beautiful. Hope your journey well❤
It really is!❤️
I live in Delhi and have never had the chance to visit South India before. However, after watching your vlogs and seeing how breathtakingly beautiful the South truly is, I’m inspired to plan my next trip to its stunning hills. Wishing you all the best for your journey, guys!
Many north indians not much explored south India...every south state has its own unique natural environment. Lot of potential for domestic tourism if promoted properly. Kerala for natural back waters, tamilnadu ancient temples. Karnataka forts and ancient architecture temples..AP Telangana , has natural forest like maredumilli, nallamalla , Araku, , Telangana , old temples, fortress, Maharastra historical temples and monuments...lush green forests.etc.,
south is insane bro! north is really good as well, shimla manali and stuff
mountains on the north
hills on the south
ON TOP
Well, I'm kinda on the opposite side of the spectrum, because I've travelled more of the south as compared to the north
Breath some fresh air from Kerala once in a while. Y'all be cutting off your life expectancy by half just by living in North/Delhi lol.
Plz avoid monsoon time
oh! wow! how lucky of you....seeing wild-elephants herd in their own natural habitat... cute-little protected baby-elephant....and special shout-out to your riding skills in so-indifferent traffic discipline....(cant imagine, Lavi being new to motorcycle riding...will become PRO after India-riding journey).....be safe....HAPPY RIDING!
😍😍😍😍😍😍
During WW2, the British Army retreating across Malaya and Burma towards North East India after the fall of Singapore discovered something magical. The Army surveyors struggled to calculate and find the best roads... But they invariably found they were often following elephant poop thru the forests. So they decided to let the elephants in their caravan lead them and they followed. The elephants instinctively find the best way through the forests. And this is why most of the retreating army made it back to Imphal in India ahead of the pursuing Japanese.
thanks
Bahubali water falls ....Athirappally
You cannot reach near it in Monsoon...it will turn into a roaring giant water flow 😃
Good Work.!! Thats lot of hard work.!! Thanks for showing so many never seen views of kerela!. You guys deserve all the support!
Thank you so much 😀❤️❤️❤️
Great episode watching you ride through the tea plantations as I enjoyed my morning "cuppa".
🐘 🐘 🐘 very cool!
Sweaty business, hiking in moto-gear.
Lovely region of India.
❤
Glad you enjoyed it😍😍😍😍
Even during wayanad landslide, a lady took shelter under a palm tree with her daughter, Sujatha(the survivor) said she appealed to the elephant, “We have escaped death and gotten here. Please let us be.” To her surprise, she said, the tusker stood guard as she and her grandchild rested under the tree until rescue workers found them early next morning.
you people are very lucky to see elepehents during first visit, we tried 2-3 times but no luck 😭☹.
Really addicted with your channel with stunning visuals and the way you have explained the stories.
Yes that’s was so lucky 😍❤️🇮🇳 really glad to hear that you’re enjoying the videos 🥳
@LaviandOllie why don't you visit Fort Cochin, Hill palace located at Tripunithura and Alappuzha
Again a great contribution video for us with lots detailed of information
Glad you liked it!❤️
They have done the roads. Last year there was no top for most of the ride.
One of the beautiful roads through the forest . The reservoirs are awesome.
Lucky you could see the elephants in the wild.
Amazing 🤩

Hola L&O,
What a beautiful episode once again.
Those elephants were so, so cute! How awesome that you were able to see them!
Did you ever find out what those tall trees in the plantations are called? They are so interesting looking.
The videography in all of your posts is terrific, but when you hit the bottom of that long trek down to the waterfalls, and they came into view, I just said wow! That was amazing.
Thank you for the beauty and joy!
Safe and happy travels, see you in the next one.
Happy and alive! Lots of love, Sue ❤❤❤
The route selection is definitely unique and you are covering all the reserved forests in and out ... What a gift to see the family of elephants and that too a baby ... Keep rocking!!!

Yes I can understand your feelings being there physically and watching them! Love you two and thanks a lot for this series❤❤
🥹❤️🇮🇳
Love your Indian adventure so far. Why is Lavi’s back pack so much bigger than Ollie’s?? It looks so heavy. Well deserved ice cream xx
Lavi's backpack is bigger than Ollie's because it carries all her shoes and dresses and handbags, of course! 😀
Ollie’s backpack is filled with all the heavy electronics and I have the bulky clothes ❤️
Thank you guys for taking the recommendation and riding the athirapally route. Hope you loved the road and your elephant sighting reaction was so cute❤
🐘❤️🇮🇳
Awesomeee video guys! Loved the elephants.
😍😍😍
I love the edits and the way you guys describe each experience. I'm a Keralite based in Bangalore. If you guys ever happen to visit Bangalore, give me a shout! Cheers and happy trails!
Thank you so much ❤️
Enjoyed your videos, keep it up guys.
Thanks for watching!❤️
Epic Video!!!! Blessed beyond measure to see the Elephant's.
Looked like a "dam" good ride in the morning. 🤣
What an amazing experience bumping into elephants in the wild like that. Such an incredible moment.
I do love a waterfall and that one is impressive! Wow! But an impressive effort on your behalf to see them. I can relate to having made choices like that in my bike gear. 👍🤣
The south of India so far in your series is looking really incredible! I've long dreamed of riding the Himalayas, but the south is also looking very awesome!
🤣 dam good 🤪
Really Loving Your content...
Glad to hear that❤️
Even though I’ve only been watching your travel vlogs for 3 days, I’ve never been this captivated by any travel content before. Your storytelling and visuals are absolutely incredible! 😊
Wow, thank you!🥰
Exactly.. That's is what makes this blog intriguing
It was a fabulous day with the elephants, and the waterfall looked like some in the Disney movies! :) You always make me eat Indian food (that I love anyways), so tomorrow's lunch plan has been made!
😋❤️🇮🇳
Love you both,
awesome Elephants Family, and the goat and her kids. Awesome riding as usual.
Welcome back again guys❤
❤️
Even I am new to your contents, really loved you bike rides. Really wish now to have my bike rides back.
❤️🇮🇳❤️
All good. Wow the elephants taking a dust bath. Great to see in the wild. Beautiful ride. Nice meal on the high top. All good from east Kentucky USA next time Safe rides
Glad you enjoyed it😍
hello guys, you should visit kannur for its theyyam festival its the perfect season for it aswell from dec to april this festival are performed in only two districts of kerala its one of the most ancient and mesmerising festival in kerala. You guys should visit before the festivals over.
Yes that sounds amazing 😍❤️
That entry and exit with no cost is just to track you. The rule is you should not get stopped in between and should reach the other end within two hours. Same experience we had in waterfalls, just exhausted. Have a happy journey through India series👍👍
Thanks for the info!❤️
Well done guys the music is awsome all the time
😍
Welcome to Thrissur 🎉😊
Most beautiful vblog ever and blog statting music was so awesome.....👍

🤣ice cream everyday 😍
your presentation super
your camera super
your pair combination super
your conversation is super
your information history super
your bike ride is super
totally superb
Thank you so much 🙂❤️
Hi,
I am watching your vlogs from ep 3, but it was nice to see that you start from the bottom( the capital city of Kerala, Trivandrum). Your choice for the route is amazing, its like you have chosen the best routes of Kerala and the scenic views.
Since you near to Thrissur try to go to VADAKUNNATHAN temple, i don't know whether you have already passed the area, but if you didn't then try it.
I know you guys are enjoying the trip, be well, try new varieties of food from some nice restaurants.
All the best Guys
Thank you so much ❤️
Wish you all the very best for your entire journey
Thank you 🤩
Nice adventure 😊
❤️
Excellent stops for views. Cool seeing the memory of elephants in the wild. I felt sorry for you hiking back up to the parking lot from the waterfall. Lavi should have volunteered to carry both backpacks. 😝 J.K. I couldn't have done it. You two are strong💪. Another Excellent cool episode 😎
😍😍😍
Thank you dears for your wonderful vedios❤
At 6:44, no India we eat dessert after food. But the prasad is always eaten first on a religious festival. I think the gentleman had a language barrier, In India we don’t eat sweets first
Well, not strictly true… I’m from the south, and I’m not sure if there’s a north-south difference here, but over here, whenever there’s a formal meal (at a wedding for instance) the sweet is always served first. Then there’s the rest of the meal, and this is followed by a sweet dessert.
@ I am a Bengali, we never eat desserts first. So I guess this is a cultural difference
@@Raj-yr9gt No in bengal, we don't eat desserts first. We eat Curd, Rasogolla or some sweet stuff after eating spicy food. Bcz it's feels good to eat something sweet after salty or spicy
This is proper vagabond life. Much respect i love you guys.
❤️❤️❤️
So lucky seeing the elephants and the baby elephants, well done going to the waterfall so difficult with all your bike gear in all that heat 🎉
Yes it was so cute 😍😍😍
Your videos are a feast to the eyes.
🤩
Being an Indian I never explored these many places in my life. Thanks for showing all these places free of cost 😊 once thanks for entertaining us😊have a great and memorable trip a head but you are not passing through my state😢 Telangana
There is not much to see or do in Telangana 😢
@komalthecoolk you can see Ramoji film city which occupied place in Guinness book of world records, salarjung museum, charminar, golconda, ramappa temple which occupies place in world heritage cdntre, 1000 pillar temple, yadagirigutta temple, swarna girl, golconda fort, qutubshahi tombs largest Buddha statue and statue if unity and many more spiritual centre's
Glad you’re enjoying the videos 😍
Been lucky enough to do the part of the ride through the tea plantation. Stayed in a place called the Jungle Hut not far from Valparia.
Stars of india🎉

So amazing 😍
Even here in India we have our sweets/Deserts after meals . Hope you are having fun riding . The landscape would keep changing as you progress towards LEH and by the end of your trip you would have a diverse experience of India , from ppl , food , culture and so on .....

Hi Lavi and ollie, You made my day, seeing my favourite animal the elephants 🐘 really special, Great waterfall and I bet those ice-creams were well needed after the steep walk back up in that heat 🥵, That bus 🚌 driver was rude running you off the road luckily you stayed on the bike 🏍, Take care on those roads, Best wishes Roy 👍 😊.
