$2 Train Journey To India's Southern Tip 🇮🇳

Today we travelled on Indian trains for the first time.
We headed down to Kanyakumari, the southern tip of all India. We travelled in standard second class seating and it was alright to be honest!
Our neighbours on the train were nice and friendly plus we tried some of the famous Tirunelveli halwa on the way. The 6 hour journey flew by in no time.
We then had to take a couple of local buses from Nagercoil to Kanyakumari, where we arrived and checked into our 'palace' for the next few days.
To end the day we nipped out for a coconut and a brew before enjoying some tasty Maharashtrian food.
India is extremely easy to travel around, just very busy and hot which can wear you down fast.

A pocket of snacks you bought it which name is KADALAI MITTAI It means which is a sweet made up of by the combination of ground nuts and vellam or karuppukkatti. Vellam means the original form of raw sugar from which white sugar is prepared. Kadalai mittai is a good snacks for health and making the physical power into strong. It is a natural food available in the form of snacks all over tamilnadu ,without adding any ingredients to it. a small town of Kovilpatti which lies in between the city of Thirunelveli and Madurai ,is a world famous in making KADALAI MITTAI and it is a branded name of manufacturing of kadalaimitty. Both buses and trains go through a such town of KOVILPATTI . Ground nut means VAER KA DA LAI in tamil. VAER_means root in English. KADALAI means grains in English Grains means THANIYAM in tamil.

My roots are from south India so it’s great experiencing it through your perspective. Sorry about the bad hotels tho but I’m glad u pointed it out, hopefully the quality of service changes. The train ride was the highlight of your journey :)

Hey thanks so much for watching! The hotels aren't the worst but they are just expensive for the quality! Train rides in India are actually quite nice especially sleeper!

[@pradym2497]

@kam_7250 Why you saying sorry for bad hotels? This happens everywhere in the world, moreover they try to cut corners, it is simple you get what you pay for. No one gives a damn about Indian experience in the West in fact we are looked down upon, not complaining, just saying.

[@EllisWR]

@@pradym2497 It doesn't happen everywhere in the world, in the rest of Asia 1000-1500 rupees gets you a beautiful clean room with WiFi and AC, the standard in India is extremely low and that's OK, needs to improve

[@pradym2497]

@@EllisWR I am afraid you are very unlikely to get 10 years old rate in that price bracket in India anymore as the economy is booming and hotels are getting bookings round the year. You have to shell out more for better comfort and amenities or may have to improve your research to get such a hotel for that price range.

I recommend you visit the Queen of Hills in Tamilnadu, The Nilgiris which is full of green hills, valleys and beautiful waterfalls. You will witness some British habits and many memorials. Nilgiris is composed of four majestic places like Coonoor, kotagiri, Ooty and Gudalur. I am sure you will be stunned by the morning dawn and evening dusk while witnessing them in the valleys. Birds will be there to sing which reminiscence in your heart. It has even more beautiful and stunning views. Don't miss it. Nilgiris is not a house it's a home. Thank you

Hi Ellis, major Indian train stations (like Dindigul) have electronic display boards hanging from the roof of the platform indicating coach positions from the engine. Maybe you were unaware @ 6:10. If you hold a reserved ticket it has the details of your coach and seat number with which you can roughly position yourself for a train's arrival on a platform. In some stations, announcements are made over the public address system before a train arrives to indicate which coach is where. Get into any coach in case you find yourself at the wrong end and have to walk a long distance to reach your coach. If the train starts in between, it can be very dangerous to board it thereafter. Almost all express trains have vestibules to walk across from one coach to the next, which you can do, if you did not get into yours in the first place. Hope this helps. Enjoy our Incredible India...! Very engaging to watch your videos. BTW, SR is for Southern Railways and UR is for Unreserved (2nd Class sitting).

[@EllisWR]

Thanks so much! Our platform didn't have electronic boards! And the manual ones were wrong we went to where it said! Oh well! Have an amazing day
