Inside the WETTEST Village on Earth 😱 (40ft Rain Per Year!) [🇮🇳36]

So, my plan this morning was to come out here and show you guys this awesome canyon view. But, oh, that's a big drop. It is completely cloudy. Oh, Mega is just kicking us whilst we're down. [snorts] First, we get the flu and now we get fog. Mega, what are you doing to us? And although I'm feeling definitely a bit better today, Lavy is not feeling great still. She was coughing a lot last night, like pretty much the whole night coughing. So, we're definitely going to go and see if we can get some cough medicine for her for tonight. But, it has been a bit of a struggle this morning to get ourselves up, get ourselves ready. I mean, it's like it's quart 11 now. >> Hi, sweetheart. Hi. >> Oh, maybe it is actually clearing up a little bit. Oh, yes. Look at that. No way. Seriously, 5 minutes ago I came here and you could see absolutely nothing. That's a good sign. Thank you, Megala. I accept your apology. Good morning, world. Welcome back to the channel. It's ride number 36 on our motorcycle adventure exploring [music] the northeast of India. >> And we are here this morning in Cherapuni in the state of Megala road to Noalikai Falls. Okay, this is the way. And if you didn't see our previous episode, I'll just update you. [music] We're both getting over what was a really, really bad bout of flu. We'd both been in bed for a whole week before uh hitting the road yesterday. >> Yes. And unfortunately, I haven't yet fully recovered. Like my coughing is so [music] bad. >> 7 days in bed. And even now, we're just about able to continue the journey. >> Yeah. >> But we're still Yeah. pretty lacking on energy. >> We don't really have like many spare days left. So, we have to push through it now. >> Yeah. Because our visa for India is only 90 days. That's 90 days since we came back from Bhutan because that's when our visa got reset. And uh that time is rapidly running out. Oh, look at this. >> That's nice. >> Some hills. And actually, it looks a lot clearer over this side. >> Yeah, >> we were just really worried this morning because everything was super foggy. And the place we're heading to now is a viewpoint to see India's tallest plunge waterfall, Nocalai [music] Falls. And of course, a viewpoint relies on you actually being able to see the thing that you're viewing. And we saw on the map that the viewpoint is a little [music] bit far away from the waterfall itself. So, we're really hoping that we don't have fog and we can actually see this waterfall this morning. You can [music] hike up to the waterfall itself, but in our condition at the moment, there is no chance that we could make [music] that hike. But after heading to this waterfall, we're going to be heading to another place that is very wet. So, let me show you where we're heading today. So, we are here in Cherapuni. And today, we will be riding to a town called Morsin Ram, known as the wetest place on Earth. Yes, Morsin Ram has the official Guinness World Record as being the wetest place in the entire world. But I'll tell you more about that place when we get there. First, let's go see a giant waterfall. So, here is where the trekking to the waterfall is. No thank you. But apparently, the viewpoint is coming up just ahead. So, the waterfall should be somewhere down there. Oh, please don't be foggy. Please don't be foggy. >> So, we just park over there. >> Okay. Thank you. Okay. here. Oh, wait. Before we see the waterfall, we have to see the sign. No Calalakai Falls is one of India's tallest plunge waterfalls at around 1,115 ft. All right. Yeah. Let's see if we can get a view. >> Please, please, please, please be a view. Please, please, please, please be a view. >> Oh, wow. >> Wow. Is that nice? >> That is a crazy waterfall. >> And the water down there looks so blue. It looks like crystal blue water down there. >> Are you sure you don't want to take the hike to the bottom? >> You can just throw me off here if you want. >> [music] >> No way. >> Beautiful. Wow. What a nice canyon. What a nice place. I can't believe it. So, so beautiful. Wow. >> Yeah. It's not just the waterfall, which is awesome, but this whole landscape, it's just epic. [music] >> Yeah. I'm so happy that we can see something. Wow. At a height of 1,115 ft, this is the tallest plunge waterfall in the whole of India. Nocalikai falls. And apparently the name Noalikai in the local Kazzy language means the jump of Kalikai. And it comes from a tragic Kazzy legend. Kalik Kai after experiencing a personal tragedy leaped off the edge of this cliff and the waterfall was named in her memory. It's a hell of a plunge. >> At least that's one win for us, sweetheart. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> We got to see the waterfall at least. I was really worried this morning. Maybe this is the start of things getting a bit better. Lavy's getting us new subscribers at the waterfall. >> Hi. >> Hi. And you guys speak German? I heard you speaking German. >> German. >> Why do you speak German? [music] gloroo. [singing] [music] >> Goodbye. No Calikai >> was very very very very nice to visit you. >> Yeah, that was a really cool place and a quite nice little area with loads of little shops and a cafe >> and the speaking German girls. I was really surprised and I think it's really cute that they said, "Oh, I really like the language, so we decided to learn German." It's so random, but so nice. Was nice to talk to you. >> So, they didn't live in Germany at all? >> No. >> No way. That's pretty random. So, there we go. I'm glad we had a successful visit this morning. I think we really [music] needed that for our morale, >> for our traveler spirit. >> Yeah, it definitely gives you a boost to see something that or inspiring, that amazing. >> Mega, the land of the valleys and canyons and waterfalls >> and rain. And that is what we're going to be exploring this afternoon. The rainiest place in the entire world. I don't know if it's a good idea to go to the rainiest place in the whole world on motorbikes. You know, we're probably going to get rained on when we get there. Tiny bit further. Oh, wait for these cars. Look at these little cars. They look awesome. >> You come back. Here's the one way. >> Okay, one way apparently. All right, let's see if we can turn around. Well, I'm stuck. [snorts] Here you go. Ready? 3 2 1 go. Okay, you good? Okay. Okay. So, we've bought some Gulfadril, which is like a cough expectctorant. Effective against cough and runny nose. So, try that. Hopefully, that will help a bit. >> Yeah. If it tastes bad, then it means it's good. Just have like three or four sips of that. Now, >> down it. Down it. A disgusting. Let's hope for the best. I mean, the coughing was so bad, especially during the night. So, I really hope that helps. >> Oh, wow. There's another waterfall down there. It's a bit far away to get it on the GoPro, but man, that looks really impressive as well. Oh my god, the landscapes around Cherupji are just crazy. So, the bikers here said that we could see the waterfall from over here. Let's check it out. Oh, yeah. There you go. This is a massive cliff, so just be really careful. >> Yeah, that's nice. >> There you go. >> Nice. >> The land of waterfalls. I mean, the geology of this area is just everywhere that we're riding, suddenly there's just a giant canyon on the left, a giant canyon on the right. >> [music] >> It's insane. >> [music] [music] >> So, we have just turned off the main roads and are now on the road towards Mousin Ram. And it's a lovely little countryside road here as well. Look at this. All these beautiful fields around. Hello. And still we have blue skies and sunshine. Can you believe it? Heading to the wetest place in the world. We have blue skies. Today might just be our lucky day. >> Are you ready for your motorcycle adventure of a lifetime? >> Then why not join us on one of our incredible guided tours this year?

See you on the road. >> So, we're just stopping for a little snack break here in this nice little village. And we have found this place. >> Hello. >> Hello. What is inside this one? >> Plain puff. >> Plain. What is inside this one? >> Chicken puff. >> Chicken puff. Ah, okay. >> Veg puff. >> And this one. Veg puff. I think I'm going to try veg puff. Maybe a veg puff and maybe a donut. What do you think? >> I think that sounds like a good idea, my love. >> You want a veg puff as well? >> Yeah. What do you want? >> Yeah. That looks like a really nice pastry. >> Did you actually get through to the stuff in the middle? Just about. >> Very nice and fluffy. >> That's a lot of puff to your pastry, isn't it? I've never seen such a fluffy pastry. >> Very crumbly. >> Wa! Look at this. We just came over the hill and the atmosphere is changing really fast. And I just saw a sign back there that said now entering Malson Ram district. So it's crazy. We just came into the area of Malson Ram. We're already seeing the sky going dark, the clouds forming. Welcome to the wetest region in the world. Oh no, look. We just came over the hill and there are now blue skies again in front. All right then. Mealo is just playing with us today. Just playing with us. WA. We've got some views, too. I have no idea what, but it looks like a big drop down there. >> Yeah, we really can't see much at the moment. It's really cloudy and misty. >> Yeah, but it's an epic landscape around here. >> Yeah. Nice. >> So rocky and hilly. Oh, there's a view. Oh, yeah. Look at that. Nice. Look at this rock formation up here. It's just like >> beautiful >> where the waterfall was. Just a big shelf of rock overhanging. Look at that. No way. And we are right on the edge of a big valley again. Wow. Mega is just full of hills and valleys. And we're getting close now. We're only 11 kilometers from Mousen Ram. It looks like steam rising up from the valley. That's crazy. Wow. this last bit of the ride. This is definitely the most epic. What a spectacular way to finish the day. And it's still not raining, guys. Yes, still not raining. All right, guys. I think this is it. This town up here, this is Mossen Ram. Let's go see what the wetest town in the world looks like. >> We have arrived. And can you believe it? It's not raining. >> And I didn't really know what to expect from the wetest place in the world, but it just looks like a normal town. >> Yeah, maybe. I was hoping for more like umbrellas everywhere. >> Like a place full of umbrella shops. But there is one place specifically that we're heading in this town because we saw on Google Maps that there is a sign. And you know I love signs. Oh wow. Look at these views. >> Oh wow. >> Wow. I didn't expect that. Nice. >> Wow. Wow. Wow. How pretty. >> It looks like we've kind of gone out of town. But according to Google, the sign is coming up just here on the left. Where is the sign? Where is the sign? I see [clears throat] it. This such a weird place to put the sign. I have no idea who put this here. Oh wow. But it is on the edge of a beautiful valley. Look at that. >> Wow. This area is really, really, really stunning. >> We're just outside of the PWD inspection bungalow. Such a random place. But here we are. Should we go check out the sign? >> Let's have a look. Okay, >> may as well. We came all this way. At least if it's not raining, we can point at the sign as evidence. Oh, don't tell me the gate is locked. Is it locked? >> What is the point in that? Hey, >> anyway, there it is. Morin Ram, the wetest place on Earth. And then here, it looks like they have some jugs. Maybe this is where they measured the rainfall. >> Oh, maybe. >> Maybe this is actually where they did the Guinness World Record. It's not just like a claim to fame. >> Yeah. >> It's been approved by Guinness >> just like us. The coolest couple in the on motorcycle. What What was our record? >> Coolest couple by motorcycle. Sweetie, we made it. >> Very good. I'm really happy about that. >> And the weather's almost unbelievable to be honest. I think I would have been glad if it was raining and glad if it wasn't. >> I think I prefer this way without rain >> probably. Did you know that Morrison Ram receives an average of 12 m of rain a year? 12 m. And it also has the record of having the most rain in 24 hours. Over a meter. And this place here is a good [music] place to demonstrate exactly why this area is the wetest region in the whole world. And it's because of these giant hills and cliffs in front of me. These are the Kazzy Hills. Now what happens is warm moist air comes up from the Bay of Bengal [music] and gets funneled towards this region. And the alignment of these hills from east to west places [music] them directly in the path of the air flow. And as soon as that air hits these hills, it is forced upwards and that causes it to cool and condense. And that condensation is up there. Clouds and eventually rain. [music] And apparently here a lot of it, but apparently not today. All right, our accommodation should be just up here. A and our home stay. Yes, here we are. Oh, it looks brand new. It actually looks like they haven't finished building it yet. Yeah, it's true. >> It's time to go back to bed. >> Good evening, guys. We made it happy and alive to our accommodation. Check this out. We decided to go for the twin room tonight so that we had the best chance of a good night's sleep. And Lavy's already here snug like a bug in a rug. Just a little face poking out. Oh, sweetheart. You did really good today, my love, didn't we? Didn't we get to the wetest place? Hey. >> Yeah, that's nice. Now, the places we visited, they were really, really beautiful. And I'm really happy that we could see them, but I feel really bad as well. >> But it's quite early, so I think just stay where you are. And tomorrow hopefully will be a better day. We've just got our mega charging and uploading station on the go here. Got [snorts] some video importing there. Oh my god, look at that. 151 gig, 2 hours. And that's just for one card as well. That's just for my Insta 360 card. We've got everything charging here on our multi-charger. And then over here, we've got two chairs. And then this is the bathroom. There you go. Look at that. [music] For such a remote place, it's a pretty nice room. So, that is it, guys. from the wetest but not currently wet [music] place in the world. And that's it from us today. We hope you enjoyed the video. If so, please give us a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel, share the video with your friends and family, comment below, and we'll see you next time. Finally happened. It has started raining in the wetest place in the world. I'm glad it finally did happen. No way. Did you see that? Woo! I think a crazy rainstorm is coming tonight.
