Kerala has won the distinction of being the third popular tourist destination in Asia. It was revealed at a survey conducted by Smart Travel Asia Travel Magazine. Bali and Phuket in Thailand are in the first and second places.
Yeah, though it has only recently been able come out from under the shadow of the overrated triangle. Maybe more lesser travelled to destinations will be made more accessible as the country progresses.
All the people in the comments being so salty about the guy missing a few places, come on. He still covered a ton of places, food and experiences. Might have missed a few but he deserves credit for covering and showing so much. So many other UA-camrs just go to one place and come back. He went to so many areas and lived, ate and experienced every cultural stuff possible. He deserves appreciation.
I think you seen some" kantara" kind of art form that's Theyyam. Southern part of Karnataka and Northern part of Kerala has so many similarities related to culture❤️.
I was lucky to visit Kerala. I love greenery and always wanted to visit such a place. We started from north Kerala and ended our trip in south Kerala. Of course we were short of time and it's not possible to cover everything. But still we manage to visit Kochi, Munnar, Wayanad, Thekkady, Alappuzha and Trivandrum.
He just completely skipped Thrissur,Palakkad and Malappuram districts. There is a lot of cultural importance for all three of these districts in Kerala. All three of them has their own intricacies for you. He just booked an itinerary in a travel company and just went through kerala. It's just sad that you guys are not experiencing the real Kerala as it is.
It's not about tourist destinations guys. They just won't be able to appreciate the real beauty of the different cultures of kerala. Palakkad and Malappuram also has works of art. Tharavaadukal,rivers,villages. There are so much of that beauty to explore.
David did a food tour. And that is why it was so good focused. But if you go to Kerala the vast variety of food, topography, culture and history is something that you should experience and enjoy.
@25:22 He mentioned "Pothu" first (where Korbin repeated the word) and later he mentioned Puttu. Pothu one is buffalo (curry) and Puttu is a dish made out of rice flour that is eaten with some kind of gravy/curry.
The best part is that he's living a full Indian life here, completely blended in, leaving no stone unturned. His sincerity has really touched our hearts.
The state that can be said to represent a miniature version of the diversity of India in terms of topography, is West Bengal. I am saying this being unbiased. West Bengal has snowy Himalayas as well as the coasts of Bay of Bengal....the tropical beaches and the tallest of the snowy peaks are just a 12 hr train ride apart, which is insane. And then you also have flood plains,dry central Indian plateau, smaller highlands, doars terai jungles, savannas and mangrove swamps, islands, the Ganges...basically everything except a desert
Few things to see in other districts in Kerala, which are not mentioned in the video. Thrissur- Thrissur pooram, Athirapally waterfall(Bahubali film) Wayanad - Major hill station in Kerala, waterfalls, Ancient caves, bordered with Karnataka and Tamil Nadu(Don't know how he missed this) Malappuram- Food, Teak Museum Kottayam- Hill stations and View points, City of Letters Palakkad- Silent valley, Parambikulam, Nelliampathy Pathanamthitta- Sabarimala, Aranmula, Gavi
He did an amazing job! For tourists its tough to cover everything. I have never been able to cover any place , not to a fraction of what he did here, while touring. Surprised he was able to cover so much of kerala and to get so much facts.
The world's largest bird sculpture; Jatayu Earth Center, also known as Jatayu Nature Park or Jatayu Rock, is a park and tourism centre at Chadayamangalam in Kollam district of Kerala.
I got to say something... I think he visited kerala without exploring. He just googled destinations and just went where google told him to go. He did get somethings right,but some of his experiences were just gimmicks to attract tourists. You guys want to explore kerala you come to kerala just explore it yourselves. Just do your homework of the places you want to go. When you reach there just ask the help of locals. Then only you can explore kerala as the way it is.
Looks like Palakkad, Malappuram and Thrissur don't even exist. Most tourists don't even visit Malappuram and Palakkad districts for no reason what so ever.
Puttu is a steamed rice powder cake made with just a dash of salt and lots of coconut. Aappam is similar to dosa, but very distinct in its flavour and taste
David is the only foreigner whose video I like very much I am missing him very much his way of making video is very good he just in one video all about the whole kerala and its culture and food Shows he has spent a lot of time here with his friend who loves Indian Biryani and is from Venezuela.
@☞ོ☜ོ 66 years ago because you may not have noticed that the person reacting to the video are from USA. The video they are reacting to are from India. If I give them an example from India they may not understand as well as if I use USA for scale. No worries you will understand someday. Just practice thinking rather than typing mindlessly.
I am from Kerala but I have to say when it comes to natural beauty Kerala is not even close compared to northern most states like Kashmir-Leh, Uttarakhand, Himachal etc especially the Himalayas the snow capped mountains are a sight to behold Kerala has better infrastructure in tourism that's it
India is a complete world in itself 🇮🇳 I love my India and am proud to be Indian🇮🇳🚩🚩 There is so much to visit so many cultures so many dishes so many musics so many dances so many languages and so much to offer 🙏🙏🙏 That's why we call it Incredible India ❤️🚩🇮🇳 and we haven't imported anything we are original in so many things
I live close to southern part of Kerala Kollam that bird sculpture you saw is close to my place and the paragliding hill beach Varkala also close to my place. ❤️
those food items he mentioned is only 45% just think about it. my favourite thing on kerala is it has the first mosque of india Cheraman Juma Masjid at Kodungallur in 629 A.D built by malik ibn dinar but sadly we can't see that same structure today because British got very scared that many people are converting to muslims on their own with the help of this mosque so they destroyed and that mosque also played as a place to come together with any religious people. now you can see the rebuilding of that mosque but it look similar
Kerala has received the tag line amongst the top places within Asia especially for the tourism comparing any other state in India. So when it comes to food also, each district has a huge prominence for food especially in Kerala only. If you take other states in India, you will find exclusiveness for food within few cities. But due to the extreme diversity with regard to cast and religion, were people live in harmony 95% of the time. Comparing any other state in India, Kerala has more secularism which gradually emerged in the growth of class, education, culture and food as well.. That's why Kerala is known to be almost 100% literate state. Even during covid, Kerala proved as to what happens, with regard to being the only state giving priority and importance for Health along with Education during its establishment. Where as other states core growth, was through Industrialisation or any other forms to get revenue only. oh! if you had noticed something very interesting thing in this video with regard to Food, again comparing other states. Serving of dishes like Beef/Buffalo is a common and non restricted food throughout the state. Which is some thing, that an entire state or city in India is not allowed to do so, just like than due to restrictions. Regardless India is the largest exporter for Beef meat!
The guy is a food vlogger! 😀 What do u expect! He has been across India extensively esply doing Food, Food ,Food..... He visits again and again. Kerala food is excellent with Coconut milk and all form of coconut, Banana, Jackfruit, fish and all sea creatures.
Yes we are Indian know to our culture ,food ,history , architect,temple and lots of historical places in india.we know how we can make a food to tasty, delicious,amezing and diffrent type to cook.we Hove lots of knowledge about food and diffrent way to cook food
I am an Indian who was born in Kerala and I have been living in USA for the past 6 years and have been to different places in USA. I would like to add to something what Korbin said. Yes USA could be the largest country land in terms of geographically diverse but India has got all the geographical diversity when compared to USA may be much much more than that (Mountains, Ocean, Backwaters, forest, Desert, Salt flats, glacier, volcano, River, islands etc etc). The only one thing i believed to be non existent in India was hot spring which i came recently came to know that its there in Ladakh . So interms of Diversity, i believe nothing beats India
Yeah he nailed it by butchering every single malayalam pronunciation, korbanised in 100x level. But he did a great job by covering almost all part of Kerala, especially the food part.
India have everything . Beaches,deserts,Snow,mountains,hills,back waters, wastelands, different types of jungles. & Flaura & fauna that no other countries can offer. Tigers,Lions in one country 🌝😌 Leopards,snow leopards (now cheettas too)bears,elephants,rhinos etc etc.
As a true malayalee HOSS I can definitely tell you that those pronunciations are bruised and battered 😂. But he is still a true malayalee HOSS just like any of us and he has definitely been to more places in Kerala than I have.
In India their is 29 state,each & every state have different cousin Veg-Non veg,and that is also scientifically proud for human body,we use to much spice,and all food very tasty and to much flavour,try come and enjoy
Another interesting point is each Indian house wife has a secret dish for their family or children's, and I think he missed wayanad , a beautiful place to visit- more than 50 tourist place in just 50 kilometer DIAMETER
I think he is a very hungry man. He visited the important Restaurant to eat instead of visiting tourist places. In Kannur itself more than 30 tourist places are there. He can show atleast 2 tourist places instead of showing food items.
Trust me Rick. He is butchering every single Malalyalam pronunciation. Much worse than Korbin I would say. Lol.
Particularly the 'zh'
But that's ok, we should appreciate for them trying...
@@karthikkarunakaranmenon6785 Of course. Brownie points for effort always.
He is very confident in pronouncing, but far from accurate

Any links to read?
Yeah, though it has only recently been able come out from under the shadow of the overrated triangle. Maybe more lesser travelled to destinations will be made more accessible as the country progresses.
David's been to more places in Kerala than any of us keralites did in our lifetimes 😂.
True😂😂

Yep
His companion is a food vlogger.
Yaa ..

Absolutely 👍👍👍
Not only food... In Kerala, each place, each culture, each method, the climate of each place is different... always welcome guys ♥️
kerala hindu eat beef really bro🤔
I think you seen some" kantara" kind of art form that's Theyyam. Southern part of Karnataka and Northern part of Kerala has so many similarities related to culture❤️.
Yes
He was trying to fit in so much, possibly cos he was very impressed 😂 and wanted everyone to try...he definitely seemed to have lot of local guides

It's just sad that you guys are not experiencing the real Kerala as it is.
Even the governments over the years skip Malappuram district, lol😂.
Wayanad? Malappuram?
I'm from Malappuram, but I don't think there's a proper tourist location in Malappuram dist. Palakkad and Thrissur has places to visit
It's not about tourist destinations guys. They just won't be able to appreciate the real beauty of the different cultures of kerala. Palakkad and Malappuram also has works of art. Tharavaadukal,rivers,villages. There are so much of that beauty to explore.
And the kadhakali shown in that video is nothing but a gimmick for tourists Just like innocent in the movie pattalam. It's just my POV.

Davidsbeenhere is more of a food channel than travel. Kerala cuisine is probably his favourite.
The best part is that he's living a full Indian life here, completely blended in, leaving no stone unturned. His sincerity has really touched our hearts.
I think this video is about 10 food destination 😂. But yes the food carries a big part in Kerala culture.
The Food variety is larger then my semester syllabus 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think this video is a class about all type of Kerala food 😂
Every district and city in Kerala has something to explore

Pathanamthitta- Sabarimala, Aranmula, Gavi
Add Ranipuram, Kasaragod, Vagamon, Malom and Quilon
Missing the beautiful WAYANAD of kerala in this video.
He did an amazing job! For tourists its tough to cover everything. I have never been able to cover any place , not to a fraction of what he did here, while touring. Surprised he was able to cover so much of kerala and to get so much facts.

The Kerala food
Very delicious,😋😋😋😋😋😋
Especially Kozhikode,Malappuram,Kannur
അത് മലബാർ ഫുഡ്
Kozhikode is awyand am in kannur now
പഴങ്കഞ്ഞി 🤣🤣
Looks like Palakkad, Malappuram and Thrissur don't even exist. Most tourists don't even visit Malappuram and Palakkad districts for no reason what so ever.
And yah, most people don't know the number of epic dishes in Kerala.
There are so many beautiful places in Kerala that even the Malayalis have not seen. You have only seen a few in this video...
❤️
yeah Kerala is selected as one of the 52 places to visit in 2023 by *New York Times*
Welcome to Kerala, offering you both free food and transportation from my side ❤
Puttu is a steamed rice powder cake made with just a dash of salt and lots of coconut. Aappam is similar to dosa, but very distinct in its flavour and taste
Best travel video on this channel. Almost covered the entire state in a video
haha yah, that Davids guy has been to a lot of places, but he especially loves Kerala and its food.
David’s been in more of India than most of Indians. And he knows more Indian foods than most Indians. And he’s a mad fan of Biriyani
I love how Korbin loves his country very much like every citizen should.
and most American think Butter Chicken, chicken tikka masala and garlic naan are the only indian food.😂
Definitely visit Kerala, the most beautiful places are in Kerala, the most delicious food is there, don't miss it, the people are also very nice
He is supported by kerela youtubers and food vloggers
You missed the gorgeous crab curry that was there for a second... Pls taste shell fish like crabs in Kerala. 👌
David is the only foreigner whose video I like very much I am missing him very much his way of making video is very good he just in one video all about the whole kerala and its culture and food Shows he has spent a lot of time here with his friend who loves Indian Biryani and is from Venezuela.
he still eating indian dishes in america
He missed wayand district .
India is 1/4th of United States as per area. Also India has Sundarbans, a river delta that gives you forest and river islands which is unique.

Kerala has better infrastructure in tourism that's it
I would agree too. I would love to go to those places one day. But Kerala has its own charm too.
People prefer to go to places they will feel safe.
India is a complete world in itself 🇮🇳 I love my India and am proud to be Indian🇮🇳🚩🚩 There is so much to visit so many cultures so many dishes so many musics so many dances so many languages and so much to offer 🙏🙏🙏 That's why we call it Incredible India ❤️🚩🇮🇳 and we haven't imported anything we are original in so many things
25:00 food is everything ❤
I live close to southern part of Kerala Kollam that bird sculpture you saw is close to my place and the paragliding hill beach Varkala also close to my place. ❤️
Thinking about it India is so unbelievably vast and unreal. Wooowww! This is just Kerala !
I want to go back again to Kerala!
I have notices you guys have completely ignored the KASHMIR region,Literally heaven on earth beautiful part of INDIA...
those food items he mentioned is only 45% just think about it. my favourite thing on kerala is it has the first mosque of india Cheraman Juma Masjid at Kodungallur in 629 A.D built by malik ibn dinar but sadly we can't see that same structure today because British got very scared that many people are converting to muslims on their own with the help of this mosque so they destroyed and that mosque also played as a place to come together with any religious people. now you can see the rebuilding of that mosque but it look similar

You are absolutely right. I lived in Kerala for 31 years and haven't known or been to more than half of those places. Amazing.

Don't know if you guys can take the spices though. My favourites are the dosas, wadas, uttapams and coconut chutney.
Yes, but dosa in Kerala isn't that great.
@@susanjames4226 I rather like the big and one side spongy and one side crispy dosas that are made in Malayali homes.
Looks like this guy visited kerala because there was nothing to eat for him back home.
Can you blame him. I am mallu and I need all those food.
If you check his channel, he goes everywhere for food, even in Florida he goes to Indian restaurants most days
Food is the main part of our culture in Kerala .
Just because he is enjoying the food here, does not mean he doesn't had food back home.
David is a food blogger.
06:00 that's my place.. Chadayamangalam.. Jatayu statue is dedicated to women empowerment. This statue is the largest bird statue on earth.
Guys this is more of a food travel vlog. But talking about places/sites to see in Kerala z he hasn't covered even 10%
Palakkad has beautiful landscapes and rich in culture. Thrissur is cultural capital of Kerala. He didnt mention both places.
You are true that we keralites may not experience all these place as this man😂
I loved everything about Kerala,❤ Except the food.... I loved the food in Ap, Telangana, and some parts of Tamilnadu too.
The fluffy dosa is called Uthappam
"It sounds like he is nailing the pronunciation" 😂😂 Well yeah sure Rick
I am a Malayali, and been living in Kerala for the pst 16 years and I haven't explored even 10 percent of this.
Kerala has the best food IMO 🤤 (especially for meat eaters)
Still this guy missed a lot in Kerala.....
Thrissur
Idukki
Kottayam
Wayanad
Malappuram

That’s KOZHIKODE aka CALICUT ❤️🔥proud Keralite Proud Indian 🥰
Missing...Palakkad, Thrissur, Wayanad, Malappuram, Kasargod...
1500 is not a big number in wedding feasts. Sometimes it goes up to 9000 or 10000

In India their is 29 state,each & every state have different cousin Veg-Non veg,and that is also scientifically proud for human body,we use to much spice,and all food very tasty and to much flavour,try come and enjoy
Kerala's food super is the food you come and eat once, even if you come on a tour, the test of the food is different
Korbin favourite part eating foods with naked hands 😂😂
Too much data compressed in one video 🤣.. BTW, I am from 1st place mentioned in the video, Trivandrum 😊
He Missed Thrissur, Wayanad, etc..
Another interesting point is each Indian house wife has a secret dish for their family or children's, and I think he missed wayanad , a beautiful place to visit- more than 50 tourist place in just 50 kilometer DIAMETER

He skips thrissur district which is famous in the name of cultural district of kerala. Also athirampally waterfall🙏
