Proud to hear that Kerala tops Korbin's priority list, of the places to visit, in India. Hope you both can explore Kerala in your next Indian visit ASAP.
When people travel to other countries, they want to experience a new culture, taste food they have not tasted before, struggle a bit with the local language and admire the unfamiliar terrain . We are lucky to experience the same by traveling from one state to another within India .
Even within a state you have just different terrain, dialects , languages , traditions and food . If you come to Karnataka you will have beside the kannada traditions ( which. Itself is varied from north and south Karnataka) you will find Tulunad ( the tulu speaking land) with its coastal dishes and tulu daiva ( deity’s that come alive in human form ) traditions , you have a beary ( coastal Muslim )language and tradition , Konkani speaking traditions , and the coorgi traditions which are hilly regions and tribal culture , then you have lambani ( nomadic culture ) , siddi’s ( African’s who immigrated and integrated with Indian culture some thousand years ago ) . You will see Hill stations , plains , Deccan plateau , and coastal regions with great beaches( two blue flag beaches in them ) just in one state .
We Indians forget that every state is a country with it's own food, culture and traditions. We have to appreciate our country more and stop getting caught in the politicians hate traps 😭
Oh i travel a lot and i have seen people from outside this country just coming here for 3 months straight. Sometimes i wonder if people from other countries appreciate it more than us. India literally is not just one country. It is a different nation almost in every other state. Even in just one state, there are so many different cultures and dialects. My bucket list is just visiting whole of India cause that in itself is such a big task.
You are so right. Also the thing is, you visit a couple of places and then you are told about 10 others that "you have to" visit and the list gets longer 🙂
@@sunilbalooni5137 that was not the point of my comment but yes we are. I meant the diversity is so much that every city, every town, every state, every culture is unique and new.
I'm from kerala and love your reaction videos.You guys give the most genuine reactions I've seen.You can experience beautiful beaches as well as exotic wild life of high ranges in Kerala. Kerala has both. I know there are more keralites in this channel but if I can be of any help in understanding kerala more I can help too.Its our pleasure sharing information and experience about our cultural and regional richness and diversity with anyone who wishes to experience them.

Rent a house boat in Kerala. I promise u don't want to step out of it. There r vlogs on it check them out. It's laid back and chill environment in Kerala.
You must go to the Central Indian jungles in the early summer - Pench, Tadoba, Kanha, Bandhavgarh and Northern Indian jungles Corbett and Ranthambore Eastern - Kaziranga and Manas and Southern Kabini...
Such a random video to watch with a randomly put together assortment of places. And the "city" of Karnataka and "the" Lakshadweep Island and the "prashaar" lake, yes. Legit video this, very well researched!
Korbin's selection is on point. Kerala has mountains (Munnar, Wayanad, etc), cool beaches (Kovalam, Mararukkulam, etc), and refreshing backwaters (Alappuzha).
🤩Guys.. You are always welcome to "the gods own country " kerala... 🙏🙏 I'm ready to host you... You dont need to spent a single money.. I'll take care of you guys.... Please come and visit kerala... ❤we love u guys❤
Yeah true. Also Andaman and Nicobar is one of the few places in India that has "true" tropical forests. Dipterocarps of South East Asia grow there. Actually climate and plants of Andaman is more close to Sundaland than to Indian subcontinent. Also they are the tips of volcanoes that run all the way from Sumatra(Indonesia) to Arakan(Myanmar). Andaman is a piece of Indonesia in India
Our Prime Minister well reminded citizens to atleast visit two destinations in a year. India has so much to offer. There are so many places. It takes a lifetime to see this country.
It is pronounced “Paraa-shar or Pra-shar” lake. The presenter pronounced it prshaar. It was named after rishi Parashar. Been there twice. Its so beautiful.
Good choice Korbin...The distance from the beaches to the lush Mountains of Kerala is just about 70 - 80 miles or 130 kms, and in between are the backwaters
Kerala is one of smallest states, but has very diverse topography. It has the mountains of Munnar, lush green forests of Wayanad, and sandy beaches ⛱ of Kovalam, Varkala, Kannur and so on. A big bang for your buck where you see different types of destinations without traveling very long distances.
I know ur next visit would be the South of India To suggest u can start from Goa, take the Maravanthe road and explore Karnataka, then to Kerala, Tamil Nadu and end with Telangana/AP Or u could do the other way around Either way make sure u guys plan to spend enough time in Western Ghats of Karnataka and Kerala bcz there is *alot* to explore in these region!
Interesting tidbit about Maravanthe beach: We took a boat-ride on the Souparnika river that runs parallel to the beach and asked the boat-man the name of the village across the river (inland). The boatman told us it is called Padukone ("Western corner" in Tulu as it is the last village before you hit the Arabian sea). He confirmed that it is the ancestral village of Gurudutt, Prakash and Deepika Padukone although they have sold their lands and moved out for good. P.S. Kumbhalgarh was my favourite fort in Rajasthan after Mehrangarh.
I'm from kerala and it's so fascinating how these guys are mad about the canals and paddy fields I'm tired of it. I love to see Utharakand, Himachal and Rajasthan more desert and snow
In kerala you can enjoy both high hilly mountains as well as paddy fields, lakes and beaches at a very less travel time and distance between them as compared to other states...
You can access the lakshadeep island from kerala. There is a ship service from cochin and kozhikode. But you need prior permission. The official language of lakshadeep is also malayalam.
I want you to come to North East and i want to take you around. That way il be able to visit a lot of places too😝 I am from the region but have hardly travelled here.
I once met a couple from newzealand in Gokarna... Who spend upto 6 months in India every year... Like half their life in India, exploring it every single year...
Here are some facts about Meghalaya - 1. Area is 22429 sq.km 2. Population is ~ 32lakhs or 3.2 million 3. Three major tribes - Khasi, Jaintia & Garo who are one of the oldest tribes in India. 4. Only state in India where matrilineal system is still followed. 5. 2 places, Sohra and Mawsynram have held the record for highest rainfall in the world(12000mm annual rainfall) 6. 9 out of the 10 longest caves in India are in Meghalaya. Krem Puri being the longest Sandstone cave in the world (26km). 1600 caves have been discovered in the state so far. 7. Some of the tallest waterfalls in India are in Meghalaya. Nohkalikai (1110 feet) being the tallest in Meghalaya. 8. Living Root bridges are scattered all over the southern slopes, approx 600 in numbers. Some are as old as 500-600 years old. The most famous being the Double Decker living root bridge at Nongriat. 9. Sacred Forests are found in every Khasi princely state and some are 1000s of years old. Not even a leaf is allowed to be plucked. Most famous sacred forest is in Mawphlang. 10. Sea Urchin fossils, Shark fossils, dinosour bones ets are found in southern slopes of Meghalaya like in a place called Mawlyngbna. 11. There is a famous village by the name Kongthong where people identify each other by a whistle or tune, hence called Whistling Village. 12. Meghalaya has fast flowing pristine rivers and is one of the best destination for professional kayaking and rafting in the world. The Kynshi, Umtrew and Kopili being the most famous for white water rafting. 13. The pitcher plant which is a carnivorous plant (nepenthes khasiana) is found in certain locations in the state. 14. Some beautiful hill top lakes are found on some places like Mawphanlur. 15. The tallest peak in Meghalaya is Shillong peak (1965m) msl. 16. Shillong is the capital of Meghalaya (1495m) msl. Highest temp in summer is 28 deg cecius and minimum in winter goes down to 0 deg celcius. 17. The Meghalayan Age is named after Meghalaya. 18. The Khasi and Jaintia erect monoliths all over and keep the megalithic culture alive for 2500-3000 years. 19. Some huge one piece rocks are found in Meghalaya such as Kyllang Rock, Symper rock, Mawryngkhang rock, Khoh Ramhah rock etc. 20. Meghalaya is famous for outdoor activities such as trekking, camping, zip lining, caving, canyoning, snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, rafting etc. The Khasis belong to the Mon-khmer family of the Austro-asiatic race. The Austro-asiatic race is believed to may have been the first settlers in the Indian sub-continent. In the Khasi tribe of Meghalaya, the parents stay with the youngest daughter and the husband comes and stay in the wife's house as it is believed that no matter how good the daughter in law is, it's the daughter who will take care of the parents better. The youngest daughter is also the custodian of the family's property and upon the death of her parents receive the major share of the property and wealth as a token of appreciation for taking care of the parents in their old age. And why does the youngest daughter have to take care of the parents, because by the time the parents grow old, the eldest daughter would have started to grow old too. The youngest daughter would still have enough of energy to take care of the parents. The men are respected in their wife's house as the main daily bread earner and provider and protector in the wife's house and also as the uncle in his parents house who is to manage his parents property and support his sisters in deciding various clan matters. And yes dowry is non-existent in their dictionary as usually both parents work and provide for their children. A wife may be a temporary house wife only when she has recently given birth and is weaning. Life is very hard in the hills, so no other way out but for both parents to earn a living. Children also take the titles of their mothers and not their father's. It is one of the last surviving and practising matrilineal system which predates the patriarchy system. When it comes to the subject of inheritance, you can understand that in a tribal setup land is of most importance. And since titles are taken from the mother's name, hence the children belong to the mother's clan. And each clan or family of a clan will have clan land. The members of the clan are allowed to work the clan land to support themselves and earn a livelihood. And by the brilliance of this system, it is very rare to find a khasi beggar. Because he/she would belong to a clan who would have some clan land where unless he is too lazy to work, will never ever have to beg a day in his life, no matter the circumstances they come across. This clan land or property is ancestral in nature. It is the supporting well for the clan and all its members. Hence, it would be unwise for a son to take the clan land and pass it on to his wife's clan, leaving his own clan at a loss. Yes, property which is not ancestral (earned by the toil and sweat of the parents) can be shared amongst sons and daughters, if the family is well to do. But priority is always given to the daughters as in Khasi belief, a man has Khat-ar bor or 12 strengths while a woman has Shi-bor or 1 strength. Hence, because of this, women need materialistic wealth as support whereas a man can always be sent out to the world and will have the strength to support and fend for himself. It is also this very fact that Khasi women are not prisoners of abusive marriages because even if the relationship is abusive, they do have to tolerate their wicked husbands because of their financial independence. Also in traditional khasi marriages, when the groom enters the bride's house for the wedding ceremony, a loud cheer is heard, " Law wan u khaw" literally translated to "The rice has reached" which denotes the happiness of the wife's family that someone who will provide has come and joined their family who will work and till the land and support their family. Hence, the khasi man is well respected in the wife's house provided he brings honor and happiness to their family. Now, if the marriage does not work, he has all the right to end the relationship and go back to his mother's house, as there will always be a place for him in her house as he is the uncle to his sister's children. When his nephews and nieces marry, he will be the one to intercede on their behalf and hold discussions with the other family to see that there are no hindrances in the union as they are of his clan. He also will manage the clans property, which, though will be inherited by his sisters, will be managed by him as a token of his clan duties and chivalry. Hence his importance in his mother's house as well as his wife's house are equally marked out. Hence though the Khasis are matrilineal, they are no way matriarchal in nature. Yes the system is not 100% perfect as there will always be those who will tamper and take advantage of the system, but for what it offers, it is a well thought out system which has been tested through centuries and comes across as a well balanced system. It is good to appreciate the practical wisdom of such ancient systems.

Fun fact: The Indian subcontinent is crashing into Asia for millions of years..... This titanic clash gave rise to the Himalayas..... The rise of the Himalayas had changed weather patterns drastically around the world which led to the desertification of Africa and consequently the evolution of bipedalism in apes....
Kerala is beautiful but you need to know where to go. There is a lot of sand theft that is destroying beaches and river banks. The backwaters are also being severely polluted.
Yup , India is the most diverse country in the world both by culture & geography ..That's why it's called God's own country .. It has high snowy mountains , deserts , beaches , islands , palaces , big cities , hill towns , temples & heritage places ... Russia is 6 times larger than India ..Canada is more than 3 times the size of India but still India has more varied topography 😊
Why was Matriliny abolished in Kerala by The Swaddle gives a window to the old custom where the women are the custodians of family property jointly with their brothers and had the freedom to pick and discard their partners.
@@user-rg3cc1jm5w Matriliny. Matriarchy would be if the decision-making is by the eldest female. In Kerala and coastal Karnataka, the family line is carried on by the daughters but the head of the family is always male (Mama instead of Chacha).
india geographically called as indian subcontinent which consists of neighbouring countries too n so diverse geographically not just culture,religions,languages,food etc. i wonder if any country has snow capped mountains where u can see snow leopards and hot desert too with camel safaris.
If you come to kerala you can go to lakshwadeep too (the place topped in the video you have seen). They too speak malayalam. And it's easy to go there from kochi
FOR PRIVACY REASONS CELEBRITIES N RICH GO ABROAD N SPEND HOLIDAYS IN MALDIVES N MAURITIUS BUT ANY MIDDLE CLASS INDIAN OR TRAVELLER LOVES INDIA FOR SUCH DIVERSE LANDSCAPES. FOREIGN TOURISTS SPEND -6 MONTHS IN INDIA ALONE BACKPACKING ETC. INDIA PROVIDES FOR BOTH RICH N POOR SO ANY FOREIGNER WITH DOLLARS EASILY AFFORDS BASIC THINGS N ENJOY.

The men are respected in their wife's house as the main daily bread earner and provider and protector in the wife's house and also as the uncle in his parents house who is to manage his parents property and support his sisters in deciding various clan matters. And yes dowry is non-existent in their dictionary as usually both parents work and provide for their children. A wife may be a temporary house wife only when she has recently given birth and is weaning. Life is very hard in the hills, so no other way out but for both parents to earn a living.
Children also take the titles of their mothers and not their father's. It is one of the last surviving and practising matrilineal system which predates the patriarchy system.
When it comes to the subject of inheritance, you can understand that in a tribal setup land is of most importance. And since titles are taken from the mother's name, hence the children belong to the mother's clan. And each clan or family of a clan will have clan land. The members of the clan are allowed to work the clan land to support themselves and earn a livelihood. And by the brilliance of this system, it is very rare to find a khasi beggar. Because he/she would belong to a clan who would have some clan land where unless he is too lazy to work, will never ever have to beg a day in his life, no matter the circumstances they come across. This clan land or property is ancestral in nature. It is the supporting well for the clan and all its members. Hence, it would be unwise for a son to take the clan land and pass it on to his wife's clan, leaving his own clan at a loss. Yes, property which is not ancestral (earned by the toil and sweat of the parents) can be shared amongst sons and daughters, if the family is well to do. But priority is always given to the daughters as in Khasi belief, a man has Khat-ar bor or 12 strengths while a woman has Shi-bor or 1 strength. Hence, because of this, women need materialistic wealth as support whereas a man can always be sent out to the world and will have the strength to support and fend for himself. It is also this very fact that Khasi women are not prisoners of abusive marriages because even if the relationship is abusive, they do have to tolerate their wicked husbands because of their financial independence.
Also in traditional khasi marriages, when the groom enters the bride's house for the wedding ceremony, a loud cheer is heard, " Law wan u khaw" literally translated to "The rice has reached" which denotes the happiness of the wife's family that someone who will provide has come and joined their family who will work and till the land and support their family. Hence, the khasi man is well respected in the wife's house provided he brings honor and happiness to their family. Now, if the marriage does not work, he has all the right to end the relationship and go back to his mother's house, as there will always be a place for him in her house as he is the uncle to his sister's children. When his nephews and nieces marry, he will be the one to intercede on their behalf and hold discussions with the other family to see that there are no hindrances in the union as they are of his clan. He also will manage the clans property, which, though will be inherited by his sisters, will be managed by him as a token of his clan duties and chivalry. Hence his importance in his mother's house as well as his wife's house are equally marked out. Hence though the Khasis are matrilineal, they are no way matriarchal in nature.
Yes the system is not 100% perfect as there will always be those who will tamper and take advantage of the system, but for what it offers, it is a well thought out system which has been tested through centuries and comes across as a well balanced system. It is good to appreciate the practical wisdom of such ancient systems.

There are so many places to visit in Tamil Nadu too, you must check out a video about Tamil Nadu tourism
Fun fact: The Indian subcontinent is crashing into Asia for millions of years..... This titanic clash gave rise to the Himalayas..... The rise of the Himalayas had changed weather patterns drastically around the world which led to the desertification of Africa and consequently the evolution of bipedalism in apes....
That nature bridge is in Meghalaya state of North East India. Meghalaya receives world's highest rainfall throughout the year.
There is a 100 More places like kuttanad in Kerala.
You both are positivity in these times when I'm covid postive
That's why India is called as subcontinent...
Welcome to kerala🙏
Kerala is beautiful but you need to know where to go. There is a lot of sand theft that is destroying beaches and river banks. The backwaters are also being severely polluted.
Selected places like Alapuzha, Varkala, Kochi etc would be a start.
9.Gandikota, jammala madugu taluka, Kadapa district. Belum Caves, kolimigundla village, kurnool district. Andra Pradesh state
My state.
India is a world in itself. One life is not enough to see all.
If you are interested in snow clad mountains and snow winter sports then Auli and Chopta in Uttarakhand State are the best option.
Hey I've been to Marvanthe! It's pretty nice! But looks better from a drone view

The mountain range of Western ghats with Backwaters and lagoons closeby makes Kerala special. Lakshadweep is the Maldives of India.
Many of my friends have gone to Lakshadweep, and they have told that its amazing...I think its one of the famous honeymoon destination..
From Kerala..
Yup , India is the most diverse country in the world both by culture & geography ..That's why it's called God's own country ..
It has high snowy mountains , deserts , beaches , islands , palaces , big cities , hill towns , temples & heritage places ...
Russia is 6 times larger than India ..Canada is more than 3 times the size of India but still India has more varied topography 😊
So, after scratching the Surface, you found these gem of places in India.
must visit valley of flowers in uttrakhand

Why was Matriliny abolished in Kerala by The Swaddle gives a window to the old custom where the women are the custodians of family property jointly with their brothers and had the freedom to pick and discard their partners.
wait, it was abolished? when? this custom is followed in my family though. *insert surprised pikachu face
@@user-rg3cc1jm5w Abolished by the Legislative Assembly in 1925.
@@tglitzk525 well, some families in Kerala still follow Matriarchy I suppose.
@@user-rg3cc1jm5w Matriliny. Matriarchy would be if the decision-making is by the eldest female. In Kerala and coastal Karnataka, the family line is carried on by the daughters but the head of the family is always male (Mama instead of Chacha).
@@EagleOverTheSea I disagree, being from Costal Karnataka and Kerala, Matriarchy still exists in these part along with Matriliny.
india geographically called as indian subcontinent which consists of neighbouring countries too n so diverse geographically not just culture,religions,languages,food etc. i wonder if any country has snow capped mountains where u can see snow leopards and hot desert too with camel safaris.
If you come to kerala you can go to lakshwadeep too (the place topped in the video you have seen). They too speak malayalam. And it's easy to go there from kochi
