Our CRAZY local journey in KERALA India Heartwarming village experience Anakulum Idukki travel 2024
Hi everyone!
Thanks for watching our India travel vlog! This is our most favorite adventure to date in Kerela in Anakulum. Anakulum is an amazing and very small local village in the Idukki district, close to Munnar and very similar to Munnar with the amazing views, wildlife, and tea plantations. Anakulum is known as the “land of wild elephants” and while staying there we got to see elephants every night and morning (early in the morning).
After our chai in Anakulum, we adventured off in our motorbike and had some interesting experiences. We saw a tribal village but were unable to venture further as there were dangerous animals around and the safari tours told us to leave… We ended up starting the journey in Mankulum where we ate a traditional Kerala style breakfast, fish curry and porotta along with Chai. This was made by Lucy chechi. We made friends with her and others and a man named Joy then took us with him to see a waterfall (5 min walk away). It was more like a 40 min trek but it was amazing.
He took us to a stunning waterfall and Keenan was able to swim and I was able to rest. From there we went to the Munnar tea plantations and explored the beauty of the district. The greenery was stunning. We loved the trip 😉
We ended our day back in Aakkulum to see the elephants There was a massive tribe that night and we felt so lucky to see them. All in all, it was the best day yet and unbelievable to experience Kerala. We are loving it so far and hope that you are enjoying our trip too.
Lots of Love,
Mac & Keen

ഞങ്ങളുടെ ഇന്ത്യ ട്രാവൽ വ്ലോഗ് കണ്ടതിന് നന്ദി! ആനകുളത്തിലെ കേരളത്തിൽ ഇന്നുവരെയുള്ള ഞങ്ങളുടെ ഏറ്റവും പ്രിയപ്പെട്ട സാഹസികതയാണിത്. മൂന്നാറിന് സമീപമുള്ളതും അതിശയകരമായ കാഴ്ചകളും വന്യജീവികളും തേയിലത്തോട്ടങ്ങളുമുള്ള മൂന്നാറിനോട് സാമ്യമുള്ളതും ഇടുക്കി ജില്ലയിലെ അതിശയകരവും വളരെ ചെറിയതുമായ ഒരു പ്രാദേശിക ഗ്രാമമാണ് ആനകുളം. ആനക്കുളം "കാട്ടു ആനകളുടെ നാട്" എന്നറിയപ്പെടുന്നു, അവിടെ താമസിക്കുമ്പോൾ ഞങ്ങൾക്ക് എല്ലാ രാത്രിയും രാവിലെയും (രാവിലെ) ആനകളെ കാണാൻ കഴിഞ്ഞു.
ആനകുളത്തിലെ ചായയ്ക്ക് ശേഷം ഞങ്ങൾ മോട്ടോർ ബൈക്കിൽ സാഹസികമായി യാത്ര ചെയ്തു, രസകരമായ ചില അനുഭവങ്ങൾ ഞങ്ങൾ അനുഭവിച്ചു. ഞങ്ങൾ ഒരു ആദിവാസി ഗ്രാമം കണ്ടു, പക്ഷേ ചുറ്റും അപകടകാരികളായ മൃഗങ്ങൾ ഉള്ളതിനാൽ കൂടുതൽ മുന്നോട്ട് പോകാൻ കഴിഞ്ഞില്ല, സഫാരി ടൂറുകൾ ഞങ്ങളോട് പോകാൻ പറഞ്ഞു… ഞങ്ങൾ മങ്കുളത്ത് യാത്ര ആരംഭിച്ചു, അവിടെ ഞങ്ങൾ പരമ്പരാഗത കേരള ശൈലിയിലുള്ള പ്രഭാതഭക്ഷണവും ചായയ്‌ക്കൊപ്പം മീൻ കറിയും പൊറോട്ടയും കഴിച്ചു. . ലൂസി ചേച്ചിയാണ് ഇത് ഉണ്ടാക്കിയത്. ഞങ്ങൾ അവളുമായും മറ്റുള്ളവരുമായും സൗഹൃദം സ്ഥാപിച്ചു, ജോയ് എന്നു പേരുള്ള ഒരു മനുഷ്യൻ ഞങ്ങളെ ഒരു വെള്ളച്ചാട്ടം കാണാൻ അവനെ കൊണ്ടുപോയി (5 മിനിറ്റ് ദൂരം). ഇത് 40 മിനിറ്റ് ട്രെക്കിംഗ് പോലെയായിരുന്നു, പക്ഷേ അത് അതിശയകരമായിരുന്നു.
അവൻ ഞങ്ങളെ അതിശയകരമായ ഒരു വെള്ളച്ചാട്ടത്തിലേക്ക് കൊണ്ടുപോയി, കീനന് നീന്താനും എനിക്ക് വിശ്രമിക്കാനും കഴിഞ്ഞു. അവിടെ നിന്ന് മൂന്നാർ തേയിലത്തോട്ടങ്ങളിൽ പോയി ജില്ലയുടെ സൗന്ദര്യം കണ്ടു. പച്ചപ്പ് അതിശയിപ്പിക്കുന്നതായിരുന്നു. ഞങ്ങൾക്ക് യാത്ര ഇഷ്ടപ്പെട്ടു 😉
ആനകളെ കാണാൻ ഞങ്ങൾ ആക്കുളത്ത് ഞങ്ങളുടെ ദിവസം അവസാനിപ്പിച്ചു, അന്ന് രാത്രി ഒരു വലിയ ഗോത്രം ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു, അവരെ കാണാൻ ഞങ്ങൾക്ക് ഭാഗ്യമായി തോന്നി. മൊത്തത്തിൽ, കേരളം അനുഭവിച്ചറിയാൻ ഇതുവരെ ഏറ്റവും മികച്ചതും അവിശ്വസനീയവുമായ ദിവസമായിരുന്നു അത്. ഞങ്ങൾ ഇത് ഇതുവരെ ഇഷ്ടപ്പെടുന്നു, ഞങ്ങളുടെ യാത്രയും നിങ്ങൾ ആസ്വദിക്കുന്നുണ്ടെന്ന് പ്രതീക്ഷിക്കുന്നു.
ഒത്തിരി സ്നേഹം,

Thanks for watching guys! This was our favorite experience in Kerala to date! Would love to hear about other's village experiences in Kerala as well!
Thank you for visiting Kerala.
I have a suggestion
Your Camera is a bit shaky throughout the video.
Thank you! We are buying a gimbal to fix that we need it
Kerala is relatively unique (even coastal Karnataka and some parts of Tamil Nadu have this characteristic) in India for being the most urbanized state but doesn't have metropolises as such. The whole state is more or less like a long drawn out suburb as a result. Relatively less urban rural divide and villages are pretty accessible as a result. Villages in North India especially are very different from this and I would actually caution you if you intend to travel in those regions. Some rural areas in North India can be pretty unsafe for women. Like you can see here that people in Kerala's villages understand some rudimentary English and people like Joy are quite common. This is not the case in many other places in India. In places like UP, Bihar, Jharkhand etc you should not take up such offers. There is a possibility that you might get scammed.
Broadly speaking, the West Coast of India (Malabar and Konkan Coast) are much more developed and notably more cosmopolitan than rest of India. This low key true for North East India too.
This summer is hotter than any in recent times in Kerala. Now there is very little water in the rivers. Kerala's raining season starts in june and green season starts August. You can see real beauty of rever in july-august
You guys speaking Malayalam ( our local language ) ver well . Its impressive 👏👏
Wow thank you. The pronunciation is super difficult but we got a couple words in the bank! 😊
I feel Mac & keen walking with joy on lungi, is the most a touristor can connect with inside Kerala and its people. Love watching ur vlogs guys. Cheers to Joy. Lots of love from Canada.
aw thank you so much for your kind comment. Cheers to Joy!
I get a craving for Indian food with nearly everyone of your vids! I also love how you engage with the locals, and visa-versa... what lovely, kind people you've encountered. And the Elephants!! Soooo Cool!!!
You’re the best Linda! Thanks for supporting us ❤❤
Ur grasp on malayalam with that accent management awes me a lot😅, feels u had done much homework before u hit the launchpad 🎉
Wow thanks!! Keenan has the talent and loves to practice so I pick up what he says ❤
It's so wholesome to see the village gather at the teashop to watch elephants drink water❤
Omg so wholesome❤❤❤ we loved it
Among Kerala fishes I generally prefer Neymeen (King Fish). Kerala's state fish in Karimeen (Pearl Spot), which is great too but can be a tad bony.
I love the state fish, the bones are worth it😂❤
Love your mallu skills and exploration. Love to see this vlog away from home. Missed kerala so much.
Ayila fish is the Malayalam name for Mackerel 😊
"curry ayila" means, curry not ready yet.
It wasn't ayela (makarrel) fish curry.
It could be tuna 🐟.... 🐟... 🐟..
oooohh keenan could have been.... right?!?!?! WHAT!
Wow..rapid grip in Malayalam
Dawww thanks to Keenan!
Nice to watch our place from a foreigner perspective 🎉 . Gratitude for getting an opportunity to convey my excitement on Mack's creative 'lungi song' btw kaka (keenan 😛)is marvelous. Wish this channel could many more corners of world to us💛
Awww thanks so much for your message! Glad you like the lungi song. We love to get to know Kerala ❤ thank you so much for your kind words and support❤
Anakulum literally translates to Elephant Pond. In Malayalam Ana (A pronounced similarly to the A in Apple) means elephant and Kulam means pond.
Oooh cool thanks for this. Kulam is the end to a lot of cities we are noticing here
I also think about how they found these names lasting with kuam in it. It literally doesn't make sense. May be from the past.- keralite
8:31 ഉള്ളിസുര മാസ്സ് എൻട്രി 🔥
When old people tell 5 minute walk, its Probably like 30-45 mins walk one way 😂😂 Loved the vlog
I have visited this place long back, the reason why these elephants come to this specific spot in the river to drink is, natural bubbles pop out from certain holes in this river, the water is little salty in taste. So the elephants love those salty water to drink.
Nobody knows why this bubbles pop out from water naturally?
Oh this is interesting! thanks for the comment, we were wondering why
11:39 U guys talking to the locals in malayalam is so nice to listen to. 20-30 min vlogs 👌.
More more vlogs to come. So eagerly waiting.
Awww thank you for your comment. Working on our next one for ya!
Many thanks to Mr. Joy for showing the beautiful place to the world. A surprise guide. Like Mr. Joy, the village people have to show the beautiful place to the visitors which is not in the Web site. Thanks to Mac and Keen for exploring the villages too..
Regards,
Always be careful where ever you go.
Love you guys 😘❤❤❤
Love from Kerala😊
thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
South India is OK.
But don't follow such unknown man in North India.
Follow as long as there are other people around. If any problem just shout, everyone else will come and help you.
We will definitely always be careful thank you for your concerns ❤
Best believe that because I personally know it because my father is from the north and I've been there many times for a family wedding and right after that weddings we came home back as soon as possible
Yes, its true. It will be a good practice not to go alone in unknown places. Its not just in India any where in the world. For security reasons.
Guys don't forget to visit idukki reservoir and Thodupuzha
yesss have been to Thodupuzha! cool place
wav first time seeing you guys....great give and take mac&keen...&luv your malyalam..adipoly
love from kerala❤
❤thank you 🫶🏼🙏🏼
Keenan is a cool guy I know him from alapuzha. Enjoy the munnar trip mate have nice time.
Aw thanks bro🙏🏼🙏🏼❤
Say just "hello, hey" (instead "namaaskharam" always)🍒 in Kerala ❤ rocks could be slippery near water falls so be careful 💜 prefer tender coconut water, which is the best & purest 🍒
Keep exploring guys have fun.😍
thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Ammachi: Kari ayilla.
Sayipp: oh curry aila🐟. Ok take it👍
😂😂 ❤️🫶
Really happy to see your videos....❤❤❤❤ keep going.... ☺️
❤🎉aw thank you!!!
Due to the current intense heat, it is natural for wild animals to come out of the forest in search of water. So the journey to the forest area is not very safe for these two or three months. Animals like tigers, elephants and wild buffaloes are also likely to show aggressive behavior due to this heat. People living in Kerala can handle the situation properly, foreigners beware. You can properly enjoy kerala beauty from July month.
ya Im a bit nervous for this... we are later going to the villages of wayanad..... where animals are about
Your all videos very interesting, thank you for visited my region kerala, and you come again 👍😄😄😄🙏🙏🙏
Hey guys! Just to clarify, the "aayilla" she said @10:33 does not mean the fish "ayila" (Mackerel). She meant the curry wasn't ready yet. It's a subtle difference, but the "aa" is longer and the "lla" is stronger. "Aayilla" roughly translates to "not yet". In this situation it meant "not done yet".
Aayo? is the question (Done?).
Aayi is the answer for yes (Done).
Aayilla (Aayi-illa) is the answer for no (Not done).
Also, 🤣The local on the top left (@8:30) is the current prime minister of India.
Hahahah amazing thanks for explaining to us!! Really helpful!
@@Unstuk glad I could help 😁👍
Damn, you guys have picked up a fair bit of Malayalam already. Malayalam is generally considered as the hardest Indian language to master.
It's easy to pick up Tamil once you've learned Malayalam.
Wow that’s cool to know! We know some phrases that at least get us by and break the ice but man the pronunciation is difficult
I'm not sure if it was you we spoke to, but it certainly felt like it was both of you. My family and I spoke to you last month when we were in Anakulam at night. You both fed a stray dog, and then we had a brief chat. I'm not sure if you remember.I saw your video today, and that day immediately came to mind. There were a total of six of us-two children and two couples. We mentioned that we were from Kochi.
Yess that was us and we remember your family, at nighttime right?
@@Unstuk Yes☺️, my husband, I, and our cousins with their children. So happy that you remember us🥰.
@@Unstuk Macnkee, have you watched the movie 'Manjummel Boys'? That's where we are from(Kerala--> Ernakulam-->Manjummel). For your ease of identification, I mentioned Kochi (which is also in Ernakulam). Hope you don't mind☺️. Manjummel is our place, and the movie 'Manjummel Boys' is based on a real incident. You should come to visit our small place, Manjummel, one day. We don't have much to show, it's just a small place, but I hope you will enjoy it.
Your malayalam is really nice
❤ wow thanks
It is Mackerel.
Here she said "Curry Ayilla" which means Curry is Not ready / Not Prepared.
I thought it was fish??
@@Unstuk'Eye-la' is Mackarel fish. 'Ah-yi-luh' means not done/not ready
Nice to see both of you super Happy 🎉😂 must be very hot in Kerala now. Thanks to climate 🙄 change. Thanks for being a Roman in Kerala like when in Rome 🎉.
Aayilla means Not Done/Not Yet, here the A is longer and the L is stressed more. while Ayila means Mackerel Fish. So when you said Fish to her she thought yall wanted Fish and served the FIsh curry and normally fish isnt had with Porotta haha
Ahhh lol some massive miscommunication but ended up working out. Thanks for the message and insight!
Hii umm noo ideaa if u still remember us or nott but we met you at anakulam.........we were the students of devamatha school......we still have our with uss......the one which we took........

No cryin over spilled tea, lord chin
'Ana' means 'Elephant'
'Kulam' means 'pool'
What about Mankulam??
@@Unstuk 'maan' means 'deer'
Ok so deer pond thanks
@@gsg9481 'Maavu'(mango tree) + 'kulam' is also 'Mankulam' 😜

Wow nice to see a foreigner eat with their hands, atleast they are eating porotta with their hands
Love you both
dawww thank you!!!
Guys, don't miss Thrissur Pooram on April 19th. Do mind the large crowds though.
We will try our best to be there 🎉 super excited
@@Unstuk I recommend you watch some videos of Thrissur Pooram to avoid the culture shock. I would also suggest you book hotels close to the Pooram grounds in advance since rooms get reserved away the closer you get to the event.
Pooram can be a great experience in the right setting but it can be overwhelming too if you're not prepared.
❤❤❤
❤❤
Ayila = Indian Mackerel
Amazing thank you ❤
Ayala is Mackerel
I was trying to say Morgan told me not to comment
Aren’t you happy you can now see me at any time Ken?!? You and Linda can take a trip out

Curry ayila was actually funny😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Really enjoying ur malayalam, but atleast u give a good try. Let me explain a bit the way u guys pronounced, the first word aayilla means, what she meant was the dish was not ready, actually its (ayila means name of a fish) the second one konnathil santhosham means , very much happy you killed me. actually its kandathil santhosham, happy to see you. anyway keep going and enjoy the trip.
aw thank you very much for your help and support
Good malayalam😜
Hahahahah this sounds sarcastic
Hot and humidity season
lol big time
22:05 white, green or the normal tea that we drink all are made from the same tea plant.
Bud is used to make white tea, the leaves just below( there will be two leaves) is used to make green tea. Normal tea will be the balance or all mixed together. White and green are hand picked one by one......
14:00 is she alright? 😂
cool song tho⚡
കൊന്ന... തിൽ സന്തോഷം...... 😂ചേച്ചീടെ കിളി പാറി 😂
this translates to .... happy to kill 😳😳😳😳😳😳 someone explain!! hahahah
11.47: The way keen said 'happy to see you' meant this😅...Mac said it correctly though...
Hay gay's 😊 good news India's biggest Holi festival is coming soon 26 march gay's so don't miss Holi ❤ enjoy your trip

Morgan tell me not to comment

Dont leave Kerala before you hit a million😤
Hahaha in our dreams😂😂😂
please drink mineral water
Will do!!
I'd generally endorse this advice in India but water in Kerala tends to be safe since it's well water most of the time. Kerala is blessed with natural water sources.
8:31 LMAO.. guys you may get banned for that🤣🤣.
??? Did we do something wrong
@@UnstukJk guys, it's fine.. actually that's the prime minister of India 😅
Wooooo😅 thank god
The person with white hair and white beard on the upper left side of the flex board is the prime minister.. but yeah, the others are locals 😅
