German Vlogger Recommends Kerala Over North India for Tourists
Imagine you want to visit a new country, but everyone tells you it's super busy and messy!
A traveler from Germany named Alex made a video because he visited a place in India called Kerala and thought it was really beautiful and peaceful, like a big garden with tea plants.
He thinks people in other countries only know about the busy, crowded cities in the north of India and don't know about places like Kerala.
Alex believes Kerala is a much calmer and nicer place to visit if you're looking for an easy trip.
He did say that, like many places, India could do a better job cleaning up trash.
Some people agreed with him, saying Kerala is amazing, while others think tourists should just do more research to find out about India's beautiful spots themselves.
German vlogger Alex Welder recommended Kerala as a more 'easygoing' travel destination in India compared to its northern regions.
Welder suggested India needs a tourism rebranding, as Western perceptions are often shaped by stereotypes of chaotic northern cities.
He praised Munnar's tea plantations in Kerala, stating they are more beautiful than those in other Asian countries he has visited.
Welder noted a lack of Western tourists in Kerala despite its beauty, attributing this to negative stereotypes about India.
He also pointed out that trash management is an area for improvement in Kerala, as it is across India.
