ATTUKAL PONGALA Festival In Thiruvananthapuram Is INSANE! (Foreigners Roadtrip South India)

After spending a few days in Kovalam, Kerala, we learnt about the 10 day Attukal Pongala Festival taking place in Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum), so we take a slight detour to check it out on our way to Varkala. In Trivandrum, we are confronted with one of our hottest days yet and having to navigate some of the busiest streets we have seen so far in South India, while witnessing the (historic) Guiness World Records largest congregation of women for a festival, in the world! We then jump back in Rusty, our roaming rickshaw (tuktuk), and continue our journey through Kerala, where we finish the day off watching a beautiful sunset with some tasty food for dinner at a restaurant along the cliffside beach in Varkala.

This footage was filmed in February 2024.
