thats only because its a seperate island from India and it was a part of Maldives before. thats why so much of the culture, language and even the food are the same as what you can get in Maldives.
What do you think, they drop their Garbage? Yes, in the Ocean, whereelse ? I remember, i visited the Maldive Island in the late 70 is. I first came to Male an i made a trip around the “Capitalisland“. At the end on the Island, they droped their Garbage close to the Water. At the other Day, there was a Storm and flooded parts of the Island, and all over the places was all the waste swiming. Smart People, these Maldivis. Then i went to Goraido, south Male Atoll, only maldivi family lived there. And no Garbage at all. Breakfast: Fish, lunch: Fish, Afternoon snack: fishballs with very sweet tea. Dinner: fish. Boiled, as soup, fried. In other words, only fish, green Papayas with lemon, as salad, and milled, dry coconut as bread. And stinky Rice. And i was always hungry, was waiting on the next meal. At noon we were lying under the Palmtrees, and i was dreaming about thai dishes. 3 month, i spent on the Maldives, different Islands, different Atolls. When i came to Male, i went to the market and bought all kind of fruits: Bananas, Papayas etc. Then i went back to Sri Lanka, India and finally back to my loved Prathet Thai and to the best food in the world. Thank you Lord ! John 3, 16
It looks insanely beautiful and peaceful there. It's so fascinating to me that India has so many different areas and landscapes. Can't even compare it to the crowded and dusty Delhi. That coconut stick thingy at 12:34 looks like something I also had in the Northeast, they do something similar in Assam. Not sure how it's called but also super tasty!
@@Elbichoooo7 after some time whole Maldive take by India and you eat only food in your county Maldive will become Indian tertiary Thanks Islamic jihadi bro
People from Lakshadweep are so lucky with all that warmth and tropical sandy beaches whereas I'm here in chilly winters of Meghalaya and I hate the cold with a passion. Hoping to visit there soon, seems to be much much better than crowded Goa. I just love the beaches and clean not crowded tropical paradise. My skin likes the tropical heat. Merry Christmas Lakshadweepese :))
Wow this island is paradise. 😍 India should promote & visit Lakshadweep & the Andaman islands more. It will defo boost up the tourism economy there and change the world's perception on India. India is not just poor, chaotic, corrupted, etc
eco-system is fragile there. and they have special culture both in andaman and lakshwadeep, they should be kept hidden from tourist list. because in developing this place all charm will lost and it wont be replaced by money. so protect this places.
The Andaman, Nicobar, Laccadive and Amindivi islands belong respectively to the people of those islands. Minicoy and Viringili Islands belong to the people of Minicoy Island. This is not really rocket science because, for example the British Isles belong to the people of the British Isles. Same-same.
The name of the language spoken in Minicoy and Maldives is Dhivehi. During British era a British officer who went to Minicoy inquired about the language of the island. He was told it was Mahal-Deeb Bas, meaning the Language of Mahal Deeb. Mahal Deeb was the official name of the Maldives untill recently. Still in the national emblem of Maldives the name is Mahal Deeb. The British officer recorded the language as "Mahal". That's how it became Mahal. The real name is Dhivehi Bas. Dhivehi Bas literally means Language of the Islanders. The script used is a unique script invented by the Maldivians in the 16th century. It's called Thaana.
Minicoy and Maldives should have a better relationship, we are people living such similar culture, unlike anywhere else in a world. a unique relationship, the maldivina and indian government look into this, and help exchange better raltionship between the island and maldives. even business exchanges could be done. it won't take longer than 17Km to reach there from the north of maldives.
Your videos are incredible and I hope many are inspired and educated by your content. Inspired to create good content that has so much to give. And educated to realize that traveling is not all about those major cities. There's affordable places out there that can even offer more than 5 star hotels. It's not about the amenities but about what that place can offer, good food, culture, and unforgettable experiences that you cannot compare to anywher else. I'm glad you change people's mind about India and the misconception that it's all dirty and it's all a slum and that you can't have a wonderful time there as a tourist.
@Shanaya Sharma You showed your filthy mindset by abusing.. is it necessary to be arrogant? Minicoy was a part of Maldives for centuries. Indian govt had an agreement with Maldives of merging Minicoy island with Lakshadweep UT
It's such a beautiful place, I hope that I get to visit one day it's absolutely stunning and breath taking your very lucky Karl. The water is so clear thank you Karl for showing us around this beautiful place.

Obviously each and every element of your Vlog was just super awesome but my fav was that you knew were Jamnagar was and also greeted the couple in Gujarati. You just are not traveling to fullfill your dream of seeing all states and UTs of India but it seems wherever you go you try to gel up with that place, its people and its culture so easily. I don't know how long back you might have visited Gujarat and still you remembered a small district of it and also you could instantly greet in Gujarati without taking time to remember the language. People tend to forget such short lasted memories but you are different. Me being from Gujarat makes me so proud that an outsider (our very own Indian though) knows our places and culture so well. You are just awesome Karl. Keep surprising us with such vlogs of unexplored places. I wish i could steal your travel list. 🤣🙈

@Sparkle Queen Even after seeing this video if you are commenting like this it goes on to show you are either too dumb or too stupid or just too ignorant...May God bless you...
The "Jahaadhoani" boat racing was a tradition of some parts of Maldives too. But Maldives lost the tradition in the 1940's. Today we see this tradition only in Minicoy. So I guess if you want to experience this extinct tradition of Maldives you should visit Minicoy.
The script they use to write is Dhivehi - the language of Maldives 🇲🇻. The only other place where Dhivehi is spoken outside of Maldives. The lost Maldives 🇲🇻 as you put it. Enjoy !
@abdullahzakariyya1569 actually Dhivehi (Divehi) is, most definitely, not a script. It is a language. The current script used to write Divehi is Tana, also spelt as Thaana. Are you from India (or is it Yendiyaa?), @abdullahzakariyya1569 ?
@@lalitakumarimahaur2195 actually, Divehi is not spoken in the Laccadive and Amindivi islands. It is spoken only in the Maldives and Minicoy. The Laccadive and Amindivi islanders speak a dialect of Malayalam, while Minicoy islanders speak Divehi, which the Indian colonial authorities refer to as "Mahl". Your idiots don't realise that "Mahl" comes from the world "Maldives", which some people pronounce as "Mahldeeb", which means "Maldive Islands". Divehi is an Aryan language (other Aryan languages include Icelandic, Farsi, Sinhala, English, German, French Dari, Latin and Russian among many others). Please tell your colonial authorities to get a brain.
That notice is written in Dhivehi (Maldivian Language) in Thaana script (Maldivian writing system). Basically it says it's against the law to smoke cigarettes and use tobacco products in public. And action will be taken against those who abuse the law.
Islamic restrictions make Lakshadweep a place I will probably avoid due to all these Bullshit restrictions. It's not as if I won't pick up my butt or leave bottles of beer around. But why aren't they allowing it? Shame I can't do that in a place that's a part of India. Modi should bring some Ram Mandir freedom to Lakshadweep too.
Huge fan, am really happy that you loved our island, it's an amazing feeling that people love beautiful island, for island hospitality, cuisine or exotics beaches, thanks for visit and blog, keep exploring #exploreminicoy #explorelakshadweep
Not at all! lots of love to Minicoy from Maldives 🇲🇻 would love to visit you guys one day. Our language Dhivehi has evolved a lot since the Eveyla times. Nevertheless ވީޑިއޯ ފެނުމުން ވަރްށް އުފާވެއްޖެ ❤️
Thanks for lot Rock , After our PM we understood the beauty of Lakshadeep ( LD) ... but you have been there 4 years back...thanks for sharing details of LD Minicoy
I'm from the Maldives and I'd really love to visit this place someday. This is the only other place in the world that uses our language and writing system.
As a Maldivian, idk why I always felt a different feeling towards minicoy as long as since I knew about it. I feel like the people of Minicoy and Maldives should interact more. I can't believe thre is a lighthouse there, with a writing on the bottom, written in perfect maldivian language in a very old style though. We should exchange better relationship with the lakshadweep people, esepecially minicoy. I am sure in a speedboat its just like 3-4.5 hours away. Or 15 hours by boat from the north of maldives, we can even send each other shipments, do business etc. I hope one day Maldivian and Indian government would invest more into this. It's not a matter of nationalism but a link that should exist between so related people. There is no other island nation in the world similar to Maldives, with a culture like us. At least not as close as the people and island of Minicoy. Very nice
And till date they speak dhivehi language. As a person from Addu I feel more connected to them because they are out most close neighbors like 136 km away from the island
Karl Rock, as always, your videos are top notch. Its amazing how much u get to spend ur time in almost every part of india! You're trurly lucky.. lots of love amd blessings coming in your way in 2020. Stay blessed Jai hind.
Hey Karl, i never did know that you made a Video about Minicoy. Iam a Native in Minicoy. Thank you soo much for making this video the way you said nice things about Minicoy is really touching. Visit Again. btw iam Aysha.
I have been there in 2016 and it was the best place I have ever visited. Water was crystal clear, you can walk in the lagoon for 1km and water will still just be at your waist level, locals were very friendly. Such an amazing place it was. Watching this video gives me a nostalgic feeling.
Maldivian inhabited islands look very very similar to this. Watching this video was like having a look back at how our islands used to be too (it’s more developed now i.e as the schools) but yeah very similar and not taken over by tourists. Visit maldives and stay in guest houses on local islands and get the same experience for a much cheaper price than 5* resorts!
I love the fact that how you have "Indianized". Instead of saying let's not run over that guy you say let's not run over that uncle. This gives a very unique and hilarious touch to your language :)
"King of Twelve Thousand Islands" or Maldive King actually own this island years ago. My grandmother is a minicoy or as we call it "Maliku" descendent. As a person from Maldives, I always dream of traveling to the island and see the cultural similarities between Maldives
lakshadweep is definitely a world apart in which we would live until death the village called Minicoy is just amazing Karl this is where you should move when you decide to retire with Manu !
@@KarlRock so try to make the most of it it's like in the Maldives if the locals are aware of it all the better so that they can make their arrangements in the long term in such places you just need a satellite dish and an internet connection to stay in touch with the rest of humanity !

@@abhimanusingh66 one of the kings made a treaty with Ali Raja of Kannanoor and gave that part to them. Of course the kingdom of Ali Raja fell under the British Raj and eventually the newly formed country of India.
Back then we didn't have nationalism and we'll defined nations. Only subjects of Kings. Although few rulers espoused values of fascism like Malik Anbar and his Queen master before him .
@@abhimanusingh66 Maldives lost Minicoy in 1752 when Ali Raja of Kannur attacked Maldives and took captive the King of Maldives and the crown prince and some ministers. From Ali Raja Minicoy went into the hands of British and from British it became part of the Independent India. There was a referendum in Minicoy. It was either India or Pakistan. There was no question of Maldives. As Maldives a Protected State of UK. But there were rumours that the British wanted to hand over Minicoy to Maldives and that the Government of Maldives rejected the offer.
@@ShaffafAhmedThe Ali Rajah, Munni Hamsa who anmexed Minicoy on behalf of the Nawab of Mysore was a terrorist. He gouged out the eyes of the Maldivian sultan and brought back the sultan to Malabar in chains. Thankfully the nawab, Hyder Ali took pity on the sultan and gave back his throne. Kunni Hamsa was punished but still managed to retain Minicoy.
The language they speak and write is Maldivian language. Here in the Maldives we call the language "DHIVEHI" But i believe the people of Minicoy call it "MAHAL"

@Sparkle Queen OK I will t series what's your problem

Educative and informative karl rocks!!!
14:18 its dhivehi language from maldives
The "Jahaadhoani" boat racing was a tradition of some parts of Maldives too. But Maldives lost the tradition in the 1940's. Today we see this tradition only in Minicoy. So I guess if you want to experience this extinct tradition of Maldives you should visit Minicoy.
Love you bro from Bharat India 🙏🚩🚩🚩
The script they use to write is Dhivehi - the language of Maldives 🇲🇻. The only other place where Dhivehi is spoken outside of Maldives. The lost Maldives 🇲🇻 as you put it. Enjoy !
It is our beautiful lakshadweep
@abdullahzakariyya1569 actually Dhivehi (Divehi) is, most definitely, not a script. It is a language. The current script used to write Divehi is Tana, also spelt as Thaana. Are you from India (or is it Yendiyaa?), @abdullahzakariyya1569 ?
@@lalitakumarimahaur2195 actually, Divehi is not spoken in the Laccadive and Amindivi islands. It is spoken only in the Maldives and Minicoy. The Laccadive and Amindivi islanders speak a dialect of Malayalam, while Minicoy islanders speak Divehi, which the Indian colonial authorities refer to as "Mahl". Your idiots don't realise that "Mahl" comes from the world "Maldives", which some people pronounce as "Mahldeeb", which means "Maldive Islands". Divehi is an Aryan language (other Aryan languages include Icelandic, Farsi, Sinhala, English, German, French Dari, Latin and Russian among many others). Please tell your colonial authorities to get a brain.
Some so-called princesses replaced original people

That is Maldivian language, named as Dhivehi in Maldives, Mahal in Minicoy.
That notice is written in Dhivehi (Maldivian Language) in Thaana script (Maldivian writing system).
Basically it says it's against the law to smoke cigarettes and use tobacco products in public. And action will be taken against those who abuse the law.
Thank you! That's a very good sign 👌🏻
Why did the guy say that's written in Urdu when it was in fact written in Dhivehi?
Islamic restrictions make Lakshadweep a place I will probably avoid due to all these Bullshit restrictions. It's not as if I won't pick up my butt or leave bottles of beer around. But why aren't they allowing it? Shame I can't do that in a place that's a part of India.
Modi should bring some Ram Mandir freedom to Lakshadweep too.

Huge fan, am really happy that you loved our island, it's an amazing feeling that people love beautiful island, for island hospitality, cuisine or exotics beaches, thanks for visit and blog, keep exploring #exploreminicoy #explorelakshadweep
Dislikes from Maldives Tourism
Edit: Maldivians should not take this seriously, it's just a joke
😂😂😂😂
Minicoy is only island in Lakshwadeep where Diwehi(Maldivian language ) is spoken. Rest of the islands speak malayalam.
Whyyy????
Maldivians will never dislike it. They love Minicoy.
Not at all! lots of love to Minicoy from Maldives 🇲🇻 would love to visit you guys one day. Our language Dhivehi has evolved a lot since the Eveyla times. Nevertheless ވީޑިއޯ ފެނުމުން ވަރްށް އުފާވެއްޖެ ❤️
All the tapori desi vloggers are gonna land up there soon.
people in Lakshadweep follows Kerala Culture . And most speak Malayalam .
So idyllic island life.
Beautiful
You are the best UA-camr touring India 👌👌
Thank you 🙏 Although I wouldn't say I'm touring India, India is my love and my life.
We have hundreds of islands like this in our Fiji Islands
True. Fiji is incredible!
Fiji is awesome. I've seen Fiji through the camera of our legend Santosh George Kulangara.
Do figis know Ram ?

Wow i will go some day ..i just went anadaman but this beach looks fabulous
So happy to see my native in a screen
Yes bro India will take Maldive
Thanks for lot Rock , After our PM we understood the beauty of Lakshadeep ( LD) ... but you have been there 4 years back...thanks for sharing details of LD Minicoy
we Maldivians call it Malik, it was a part of Maldives, that's why we still share some similarities
On my list of places to go!!! We spoke about it a while ago, glad you went out and did this!
I'm from the Maldives and I'd really love to visit this place someday. This is the only other place in the world that uses our language and writing system.
I think I've seen the script in Kozhikode and Mallapuram,Kerala too..
@@nongthangsana What?.. Really?
@@nongthangsana that's not Maldivian script lol. we have diacritics and ligatures
Along waiting bro
You always have an honest take of the places you visit .Lovely ,coverage.
As a Maldivian, idk why I always felt a different feeling towards minicoy as long as since I knew about it. I feel like the people of Minicoy and Maldives should interact more. I can't believe thre is a lighthouse there, with a writing on the bottom, written in perfect maldivian language in a very old style though. We should exchange better relationship with the lakshadweep people, esepecially minicoy. I am sure in a speedboat its just like 3-4.5 hours away. Or 15 hours by boat from the north of maldives, we can even send each other shipments, do business etc. I hope one day Maldivian and Indian government would invest more into this. It's not a matter of nationalism but a link that should exist between so related people. There is no other island nation in the world similar to Maldives, with a culture like us. At least not as close as the people and island of Minicoy. Very nice
And till date they speak dhivehi language. As a person from Addu I feel more connected to them because they are out most close neighbors like 136 km away from the island
Karl Rock, as always, your videos are top notch. Its amazing how much u get to spend ur time in almost every part of india! You're trurly lucky.. lots of love amd blessings coming in your way in 2020. Stay blessed Jai hind.
Karl Rock, please visit Meghalaya (The Abode Of The Clouds) - you'll like it there. Greetings to you.
I visited the Meghalaya in 2018 February during my college tour. It is amazing place. I really liked.. it.💐
Love Minicoy from 🇧🇩
Who is there after India Maldives conflict
Hey Karl, i never did know that you made a Video about Minicoy. Iam a Native in Minicoy. Thank you soo much for making this video the way you said nice things about Minicoy is really touching. Visit Again. btw iam Aysha.
So u speak Dhivehi? Im from Maldives BTW
Beautiful 😍 video karl ❤️
15:00 Karl Bro unknowingly guessed the correct name of the road. we call the road "Mae Magu" it translates to "Main Road".
When I die and go to heaven I want to be stuck in a paradise like this!
Learn the truth of this world
As a kid I used to look at Minicoy in the school atlas and wonder whether it’s Indian territory. Loved your video.
Hard Rock / Karl Rock.
I have been there in 2016 and it was the best place I have ever visited. Water was crystal clear, you can walk in the lagoon for 1km and water will still just be at your waist level, locals were very friendly. Such an amazing place it was. Watching this video gives me a nostalgic feeling.
4:34 , You go to the furthest island of India, you always find one Gujju
This is the place I live 👍.. not so famous but beautiful sand beaches u will love to explore
For all tourists there is no liquors in Lakshadweep
Love ❤️ Nahi chahiye jii
No bro you can get liquor in kavrathi island from the resort but it is for tourist only .
Alcohol is bad.
Too bad. But can we bring our own alcohol?
Banana Republic Thank god, no idiots and violence.
for those who dont know , we Maldivians long ago left out this small island, because it was far from capital to send resources during world war 2
Maldivian inhabited islands look very very similar to this. Watching this video was like having a look back at how our islands used to be too (it’s more developed now i.e as the schools) but yeah very similar and not taken over by tourists. Visit maldives and stay in guest houses on local islands and get the same experience for a much cheaper price than 5* resorts!
are you from Maldives?
soham kandalgaonkar yep
please suggest how to get to such a place in Maldives
I love the fact that how you have "Indianized". Instead of saying let's not run over that guy you say let's not run over that uncle. This gives a very unique and hilarious touch to your language :)
Minicoy also known as maliku was a maldivian island a long time ago
Its my dream to go there😭
You can visit sir...If u want any help for visiting contact me...😊
Maldive was part of India .

Because only limited tourists are allowed to visit Lakshdweep island that's why they so beautiful, clean and peaceful.
Trees, beaches, no noise, small houses and solar pannels!! This is Sustainable development in action.
Hi Karl from NZ ... ty for visiting LD and sharing your experience in LD. It is now in my bucket list.
"King of Twelve Thousand Islands" or Maldive King actually own this island years ago. My grandmother is a minicoy or as we call it "Maliku" descendent. As a person from Maldives, I always dream of traveling to the island and see the cultural similarities between Maldives
I love each time when you say Jay Hind because it comes out from your heart, my friend you are son of maa Bharati as much as we locals do. Jay Hind
lakshadweep is definitely a world apart in which we would live until death
the village called Minicoy is just amazing
Karl this is where you should move when you decide to retire with Manu !
Totally! It's heaven. Sea levels are rising though 😐
Karl Rock I wonder where these people will go when the sea level rises
@@KarlRock so try to make the most of it
it's like in the Maldives
if the locals are aware of it all the better
so that they can make their arrangements in the long term
in such places you just need a satellite dish and an internet connection to stay in touch with the rest of humanity !
@@humblebee8334 kerala probably
Karl Rock Netherlands like arrangements can save it. See barriers, but it will require heavy investment
Wow.... You tube recommendations after 4 years🎉
Who is here after the Maldives fiasco😅😅.
My dear Karl, I love the way you explored India. You are more like an Indian than an average Indian. You know different cultures from different regions of India. Hats off to you man. I did not expect this from a foreigner (A New Zealand guy). You know good Hindi, you can recognize hindi urdu scripts, haryana hukkah (lovely), you are totally a pleasant foreigner and feels like an Indian from heart. I would love to be in touch with you. I am surgeon by profession and curious amateur explorer.
Karl you missed one of the most beautiful island in lakshadweep thinakara island
Karl, please come to Odisha someday. It's a beautiful state and you'll enjoy Odisha a lot, trust me!!
Karl, Great Vlog, Question for you:
How do i get there from MUmbai, cost etc?
I’m from the UK and i am in Mumbai in Jan 2020....
There's a full video coming on this on Monday 🙏
I bet you have to get on a ship from kochi/Cochin in kerala if u want visit lakshadweep. I also heared there is a flight operating between calicut(Kerala) and lakshadweep
HIRA A. Thank you my friend 👍
Karl Rock I look forward to that Karl as I do all your vlogs, I have you on notifications👍
HIRA A. I have just booked: London - Delhi - two nights there. Spice tour booked etc... Then two days Jaipur, elephant sanctuary - Amber Fort etc... Then my up to now favourite place in India - Varanasi, then down to Goa, mud huts - beach scooter - yoga etc, then to finish off a couple of days in Mumbai, then back to England 😥
Love, Karl rock.
the script is thaana. we use it in maldives. minicoy used to be a part of maldives a long long time ago.
Why it got separated??
@@abhimanusingh66 one of the kings made a treaty with Ali Raja of Kannanoor and gave that part to them. Of course the kingdom of Ali Raja fell under the British Raj and eventually the newly formed country of India.
Back then we didn't have nationalism and we'll defined nations. Only subjects of Kings. Although few rulers espoused values of fascism like Malik Anbar and his Queen master before him .
@@abhimanusingh66 Maldives lost Minicoy in 1752 when Ali Raja of Kannur attacked Maldives and took captive the King of Maldives and the crown prince and some ministers. From Ali Raja Minicoy went into the hands of British and from British it became part of the Independent India. There was a referendum in Minicoy. It was either India or Pakistan. There was no question of Maldives. As Maldives a Protected State of UK. But there were rumours that the British wanted to hand over Minicoy to Maldives and that the Government of Maldives rejected the offer.
@@ShaffafAhmedThe Ali Rajah, Munni Hamsa who anmexed Minicoy on behalf of the Nawab of Mysore was a terrorist. He gouged out the eyes of the Maldivian sultan and brought back the sultan to Malabar in chains. Thankfully the nawab, Hyder Ali took pity on the sultan and gave back his throne. Kunni Hamsa was punished but still managed to retain Minicoy.
another outstanding vlog about Lakshadweep........i had no clue about this island.......thanks for educating us brother Karl......stay safe.
The language they speak and write is Maldivian language. Here in the Maldives we call the language "DHIVEHI"
But i believe the people of Minicoy call it "MAHAL"
This is India not maldev jihadi people
Dhivehi is originally came from Maldives 😊
