Varkala & the Mystery of the Dutch Wreck | Kerala Tourism

[@subinpauljoy]

This is how you inspire people to travel. I agree that travel vlogging is a thing but filmmaking with storytelling embedded into each frames is another game. Kudos to the team which put this story together. Every place has a story. I search for the story everywhere I go. We need more story tellers in local communities so that the visitors feel the place when they spend time there

[@tropertours]

yes for visiting Kerala Troper Tours is the best tour operator... My personal experience is awesome 👍

[@nandan144]

This is what the State Tourism Department should fund. Videos like this has to be made for other places too. Thanks for featuring my Varkala. ♥️

[@rajeevm1989]

This is absolutely brilliant. I know it's an ad, but to explore a real mystery through original storytelling, fantastic cinematography, and even incorporating journalism - take a bow, Kerala Tourism! Now I also want to visit Varkala to see the bell.

The temple is harldy 1 km away from home and used to go there too but till now i haven't noticed the dutch language in that bell. 🥰

[@abhinavmannan8240]

A brilliant theme twined with the history of the region. It was so indulging. We can clearly see the hardwork behind it. Kerala tourism is taking beautiful initiative recently. Hope we could soon see the results of all the initiatives taken

So humbled to be able to watch this. I myself is from Varkala and never heard of this but would love to discover more of my own place soon when I touch down this time. Come to Varkala guys would be happy to host you all 😎

[@advaparna3691]

Very well-researched and finely made video. Mesmerising...it feels I too travelled with them, deep into the ocean... and still my mind is stuck in that abyss..... The video leaves me to visit The Varkala Janardhana Temple, Dutch Bell...and of course the Dutch Wreck ( even though the third one is difficult to fulfil )...it thrives me to learn at least an Open Water Course....to get into the sea more....to be more connected...to bond with her, know her...adore her... True, who better keeps the mystery of the sea than its sons? ..... Divers are very blessed..... They can explore the unexplored..... Diving in such a beautiful place, and experiencing ample fish life is a dream come true moment... Not all secrets hide in plain sight, some of them you need to go looking for...... Unravelled the tale of the Dutch bell... Sea... You are so mysterious..... Thanks #KeralaTourism# #BondOceanSafari# For this Wonderful Video.

[@anoop9270]

[@renuelzavarkey1287]

I remember listening to this narration of finding the Dutch ship underwater by Robert Panippilla himself during my research days. I have mentioned about this episode in my PhD thesis too. When I started watching this promotional video, somewhere it rang a bell , but it's only in the end I realised it's the exact same legend that I was closely dealing with during my research. Such a thrilling experience to see it being visually represented and brilliantly done. Hats off to the team behind this. Looking forward to more of such creative reproductions of legends and folktales for promoting Kerala culture and heritage. All the best Kerala Tourism Department! Lots of Love. ❤❤❤

[@keralatourism]

Thank you so much❤

@@keralatourism Dear team, I request you to kindly inform authorities that there is no proper waste disposal options in and around Kovalam area. Since I am staying there, I know the exact situation on the ground. Even foreigners are complaining about this. Anti social elements are throwing garbages, which includes chicken waste, sanitary napkins, glass , bottles etc all around our beautiful Kovalam area. Especially on the newly constructed byroads. Police or security cams are not available and the authorities are not at all interested in taking action against them. We can't even go for morning walks, nor cycle through those roads. The smell is soo nasty and street dogs are everywhere, most of them are violent .. This is the ground reality. After 10, 98% of the shops won't open, and we can't even go to beach, police will stop and question is as if we are like terrorists. Coming to beach, Toilet facilities and shower facilities are not there, we have to depend on hotels near beach, which is very expensive for common people. Street light never lights ;) . The contractors make money reparing it for ever :D . Overall Kovalam Beach , one of the best in the world, is ruining and rotting away due to lack of planning and lobbies around there, meanwhile Varkala is doing good compared to Kovalam.
