  • Foreigners Travel To India and experience their first Pongal Festival in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu
    Pongal is like New Year for Tamil people, but we believe a lot of India celebrate some form of harvest festival in different ways. We assume as we travel more of India then we will see a lot more festivals, but this one was fanstastic.
    If you are enjoying the videos, please subscribe here to be notified when we upload our next one / thosehappydays
    Our overall plan in India is to travel via rickshaw/tuk tuk from the South to North (if it's possible?) The next leg of our journey is to travel from Kanyakumari to Kerala, and the epic journey north starts.
    WE POST VIDEOS EVERY WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY 8PM AND SUNDAY 9AM (British Time
    We have only just arrived in India, after a crazy time back home doing van life and living full time in our camper van conversion for two years in the UK. But after some serious engine problems that cost us a fortune, we came to India on a mission to honour Liam's Grandad's legacy who sadly died earlier this year. With the inheritance money Liam got from that, we bought the tuk tuk and named it after Liam's Grandad.

    Hi guys and everyone. Jai Bharat 🇮🇳🙏🏻🥰💪🏻😎👍🏻! Pongal festivals holds a great significance among Tamilian. This month is known as Thai month and the people of Tamil Nadu, strongly believe that this month brings positive change in their lives and they get rid of their problems. This is the season when crops like sugarcane, turmeric and rice are being harvested. It is believed that this month is considered to be auspicious for marriages, engagements and all religious and spiritual activities.

    I have some wonderful Indian friends who I would love to visit and actually meet in person but I am a disabled person and travelling that far is just not doable for me in the foreseeable future.
    So thank you, thank you, thank you for making the trip and for sharing your experience with us all and for allowing me to travel there vicariously through and with you both 🙏🏻❤️
    I'm just in the process of telling my dear friend Akshai all about you and I'm sharing your latest video with him now, too. I don't know if you are going to his City (Pune) but if you are, I am sure that he will come along to say hello and to check out Pete, too, lol 😂

Hope you find time to rest. Really important too. It's a hard task you've set yourselves.
