Foreigners First Impressions of Kochi, India🇮🇳 (Not what we expected...) 

Welcome to Kerala. Thank you for visiting our state.

I,m From North India but Kerala, Himachal, Uttrakhand This state are best for Foreigners...😊😊

The stereotype which foreigners heaving into their mind is old Delhi and Mumbai's Dharavi and they think all india is just like that because of their media ,but na man ..India is 7th biggest country on earth you have tones of amazing places to visit and they are not like old Delhi or Dharavi

(South India) State of Kerala🌴 must visit places: -Aleppy backwaters ('Venice of the East') -Vagamon ('Scotland of Kerala') -Munnar hill station ('Kashmir of South India') home to tea plantations, spice garden, tasty homemade chocolates and different wildlife -Varkala Beach and Kovalam Lighthouse beach -Fort Kochi attractions with Jewish synagogue, Dutch Palace and Portuguese church alongwith the European influenced streets -world's first water metro also try the land metro -Kerala is a major football hub and has got featured in FIFA channel -Athirapally waterfalls ('Niagara falls of South India') - Lulu International Mall (largest malls of South India in Trivandrum and Kochi) -Jatayu largest Bird Sculpture -Do interact with the locals they are really sweet and helpful -This state has the highest literacy rate -Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Jews etc.. all live in peace and harmony♥️ -It is also the home of Ayurvedic medicine -The Kerala cuisine consists of non-veg including beef and pork and seafood.Also try the traditional meal served on banana leaf 😍

Its very hot season now.. Careful of dehydration..

This summer in Kerala is insanely hot. It started wayy earlier from February and even us Indians can't bear it. Climate has gone crazy this year.

India is so diverse ❤🇫🇷

You said kerala people are very nice and kind and very friendly that words make me very happy and proud because I am from kerala,,,,,thank you very much and sorry for the weather 😅😅😅😅😅

South East Asia - Tuk Tuk In India - Rikshaw 😂😂

Nice video. Enjoyed it. Sorry to see you struggle in the sweltering summer heat. Summer this year has been exceptionally brutal. Try to avoid going out between 11AM and 4PM unless you are in hill-stations like Munnar, Thekkady, Wayanad etc. Those hill-stations - with their rolling tea/coffee/cardamom plantations and winding roads - are great visual treats and the main reason why Kerala is called 'God's Own Country'. Hope you will have a wonderful and pleasant time in Kerala and elsewhere in India. Looking forward to your next video...

The reason street's are empty is because of the heat! You are certainly brave walking around getting sunburnt

Learnings: 1. Biriyani and Mango curry is an unusual combination 😅. You should try Porotta and Beef Roast (as a meal) for sure & fried rice and chili chicken (as a meal) 2. Everybody is indoor because it is so hot outside; (west loves sunny days, kerala loves cold weather) Kerala cold = west warm = 70 degree farenheit. Try not to go out during the day time, the state is on Yellow Heat Alert now. 3. People are super helpful and can share a lot of information that is not present on Google Search;

south india is best visited during monsoon season approximately … June through september. Cool weather. The trade off , of course , there are some days that it could rain continously for a couple if days , but its like in the US , during winter , there may be that bad one week. ( in Arizona , South of Flagstaff we dont have to worry about snow), but otherwise Monsoon is the best time to visit South India.

you are so truthful when it comes to budget accomodation

What a wonderful couple you both are. Great to see you smiling always. Thanks for sharing.

I loved this video ❤, A Malayali guy from UK.🫶🏻

Enjoyed the video, wish you a good trip and thanks for visiting India! 😊 PS: A wide brim floppy hat might help in keeping cool.

Thanks for visiting Our beautiful Kerala..

India has 28 states and 8 Union Territories. Foreigners often visit Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Agra, or Rajasthan and find it busy. Sometimes, they visit Kerala and say, "I never knew India had such relaxed places; it's different from what I expected." You guys only explored cities, which is just a small part of the country. I can tell you about more than 15 states and Union Territories like Lakshadweep, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Ladakh, Puducherry, Jammu and Kashmir, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Uttarakhand in India. Then, you probably say the same thing, "This doesn't seem like India." But if you keep visiting just Delhi or Mumbai repeatedly, you say, "This is what India feels like." However, many of the 15 or more states don't match that perception.

welcome to Kerala ! thank you for visiting our state and I hope you enjoyed it !

I’d love to visit India! What an adventure! New subscriber here, glad I found your channel!❤❤

If you are visiting kerala i would prefer during winter or just after monsoon as it would a perfect climate and could actually enjoy the beauty of nature even more and could enjoy the lush of greenery

Hi Ben and Haley......I am from Kerala and now setteled in Chicago for 12 years.....still every year I used to visit Kerala.....this time summmer is harder .... be careful about heat stroke.....warm welcome to Kerala.

Kochi looks absolutely stunning in your video! I love how you described the mango curry - I could almost taste it through the screen. Has anyone else tried a dish that left such a lasting impression?

Looks like such a great place to visit!

Hi dude, It is summer session. Nov to Jan is best time for visit in Kerala.( Jun to Oct Rainy session). Where ever you go please check it sessions before your visit.

The place is super hot and humid now. You guys are crazy to be there now 😮 I was there last week and it was exhausting. Kept drinking one thing or the other to keep myself hydrated

Welcome to my country ❤enjoy the trip

Welcome to Kerala....... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hello I hope that one day my siblings and I are as confident in our videos as you are!!! We are American kids in India that just moved here. ❤❤❤ Keep up the great work!

Oh nooo you came at the wrong time. Monsoon is the perfect time to visit Kerala

Visit on June , July it's too hot nowadays. Rainy season is best to visit ..

I hope you guys are having a great time.🙏

Wellcome to India 🎉❤

i think, you should shortlist some amazing places, cultural stuff, hill station, fort, monument, temple and unesco sites.....etc where you can visit, always check weather of destination place (comfortable or not)

There is water metro boat which is air-conditioned. Anyway as of now summer season

Please check out the following while your in that sate: Also, if you can handle spice, try the many local dishes. 1 Jattayu 2 Lulu mall 3 Kalarippayattu 4 Kathakali 5 House boating in backwaters (a day or so, overnight, private chef, bathroom and bedroom 6 Padmanabhaswamy Temple 7 spice tour with a meal 8 Vakala beach and Kovalum 9 Ayurvedic spa, Munnar 10 Fort Kochi, Jew Town, 11 snake boat racing 12 Tree house stay, Athirappilly Waterfall 13 old churchs, bible tower, st. george, st. marys,

You should definitely visit the state of Meghalaya. Little known facts about it. Its a state covered with clouds, mountains, pine trees. Rainiest place on planet earth is in this state of India (mawsynram). Asia's cleanest village of exists here (mawlynong). Living root bridge (testament of human bio-engineering since thousands of years without any modern tools and how to live in harmony with nature) , cold climate, crystal clear lakes where you can literally see the surface and the reflection of your boat, canyons, caves, places that might remind you of Narnia, hundreds of waterfalls, completely different culture, language, food. Cuisine is more closer to south east asian cuisine. Also only matrilineal state in India. You might not find too many hindi speakers but almost everyone speaks English. Even street vendors can speak manageable english so not much issue with communication. This is just one of the states of north East. Each state of north east is unique in its own way for their natural beauty. Total 8 states also called 7 sisters and 1 brother state (sikkim is the brother)

India is multi coloured and multi religious country......Kerla is the best known for Aayurveda treatment in world .

This video gonna be viral 💯

Enjoy Kerala.

Kerala never exceeded 31-32 celsius at the peak of the summer when I grew up there in 80s and 90s. During my ocassional trips to Fort Kochi, it was one of the coolest (I meant weather-wise) place in mid-Kerala. Today things have changed. Have to blame the real estate build up in the whole of the country which has eliminated as many trees as possible and the carbon pollution.

donot forget to visit Alleppey and house boat ride. you will love it. and dont feel shy do bargain when you are india. love from india. hope you get treated like a king and queen here❤

Enjoy Kerala. Use the mozzy spray only in evenings and nights, daytime is fine. Also, say adipoli instead of thanks and see the smile on their face😊

It will be so hot. Don't burn your skin dear. Safe journey , stay safe.

Very nice. I was there in March. Enjoy

Double well come 😊

This, India is experiencing severe hot summer, hope there will rains sooner. then India turns magical. In summers, we try to avoid going out in the afternoos, (11am to 4pm sometimes 4:30) ..

That was a nice video. Please visit to Varkala

This is fkng hot season in Kerala, Try to visit Kerala in the Monsoon season!

Welcome to Kerala

Come to Kerala between June to Feb for cooler weather

Come during Christmas time or monsoon. And an umbrella goes a long way; one with the silver side inside. And Ben is so handsome! In the old days, there used to be huge trees in front and almost everywhere (banyan tree, i think) around the Basilica and pretty much everywhere there was shade but now, in the name of development and all, they seem to have cut down all the good ol' trees. What a shame! In the afternoon, you would hear thousands and thousands of leaves a-fluttering and if you just sit somewhere in the shade, you could easily fall asleep to a quick nap. It was so peaceful and shaded! Without the trees, it looks Godless. 🥵😪😭

Tourists should try the water metro ride from Kakkanad to Vytilla. Its a beautiful experience!

Come to northeast India you will love it especially Meghalaya and Sikkim

Best time to visit Kerala. Peek summer. 🤣. My place is just a few mins walk from your hotel though I'm not in India right now. I could see my apartment through your window. If you come out of your hotel and walk towards the left you will reach Bolgaty palace which is a Dutch palace converted into hotel. Its a nice place to visit especially in the evening. The synagogue in fort kochi is a nice place to visit. Around 20 kms from your hotel you have Cherai beach and many more. Being in kerala during hot summer, you should probably visit Munnar which is a hill station 100km from kochi and spend couple of days there. The temperature will be much lower and you get to enjoy nice greenery.

Make sure you visit Munnar, Idikki which is most beautiful as well as Wayanad.

Your channel is gonna get the recognition you guys deserve❤… Lots of Love from a Keralite(Mallu). Try visiting Munnar, & Wayanad like hill station… as this summer is harsh

Our Kerala 💥🤝

Try the Odomos cream from Kerala, which is effective at repelling insects while also moisturizing and providing a pleasant aroma.

in a Beautiful place..wrong time

Welcome to kerala but this is summer time you try to visit munnar, thekkady its a hilly area as well as cool climate

Munnar, idukki, Palakkad, alappi, thiruvanthapuram, Kochi, Malabar side wayanadu,Kannur side,

I'm from Kerala and I live in Milwaukee, wi welcome to Kerala but visit in Dec or Jan for beautiful weather

We're in Rajasthan now and were thinking about heading south next, but after watching your video, we may head north instead. Great video BTW! We just subscribed. 🙂

Try Ellunda | Black and White Sesame Seed Balls in Kerala

Coconut plus honey sounds like the actual natural food for humans.

This time you should have gone to ladakh or himachal this time. There should be cooler higher up the mountain

oh glad you are having fun 😅, havn't been to Rishikesh and Dharamshala yet?

Have you ever been in Trivandrum.. So beautiful.. Lot of tourist spots
