We are back in India. Well I am back in India. I've had to leave Nyh & Eleise at home and I'm travelling with my best friend Samuel to the North East region on India. North East India isn't travelled too much by foreigners as it's fairly difficult to move around with it's beautiful nature still very much preserved. Malaria risk was deemed as 'High' in the areas of Meghalaya we wanted to travel so I don't think taking Nyh would have been the best thing to do.
SO... We will be travelling to Assam, Meghalaya, Sikkim, West Bengal to visit the Jungle of Meghalaya, the mountains of Darjeeling & the Spirituality of Varanasi all on this one trip. What could possibly go wrong?....
A captivating journey through time and culture as we delve into the heart of Shillong, India, to discover the enchanting Lewduh Market. With its deep-rooted history, vibrant atmosphere, and diverse offerings, Lewduh Market stands as a testament to the cultural tapestry of this picturesque city. Most of the vendors at Shillong's Oldest market are women, selling pretty much anything you could think of. What seems like miles and miles of tight alleys with hundreds of vendors either side. Lewduh almost seems like a town within a town. Amazing experience...

We are Eleise and Lawrence & Nyh - A young family from the south of England. Like many people the pandemic gave us a shake up! While watching hours of Mark Weins in Thailand - We had our “Ah ha” Moment. We decided we wanted to travel.
Enjoying working for ourselves, we didn’t want to give up our business and decided it was entirely possible for us to do both. So we set about making it our lifestyle to work in the UK for a month, and then travel for a month - month on, month off…. until our little boy Nyh goes to school! We want to inspire people that you don’t have to up-sticks, sell all your belongings and leave behind family to be able to see the world.
Our Philosophy. Work, Travel, Repeat.

Hey Buddy😊 I'm delightful seeing you admiring our lovely state Meghalaya. Keep it up buddy❤
I love your accent and thanks for visiting our place. Those sour berries came from a shrub called Myrica esculenta. Do visit again.
The way you interact with people is fantastic. If you want to see & taste variety of places, people and foods visit Nagaland.
Khublei Shibun for visiting our Meghalaya state🙏
Please do plan to visit a river that is absolutely pristine and clear.... And Bridge made of twisting and turning tress trunks over years ... a natural bridge made with trees. It is double decked.
Good day lad the tiny little nut you just had is called betel nut, and that actually you should have with three combination of betel nut, betel leave and a lime.. these are similar way of consumption like a Papa new Guinea people's , if you have ever visit Papa new Guinea. You will definitely know about it. Cheers lad.. hope you had pleasant visit to Shillong.
Next time you should try the very indigenous fruits like sohphlang, sohliang, riwar oranges especially from Sohra and other food like . Tungrymbai,lungsiej And still many more are there.
so glad to see you back in India! Can’t wait to watch!

You just got a fan and a subscriber from me from shillong❤
Happy to see you enjoying our authentic dishes😊
Amazing video❤
Thank you Khublei and glad that you have highlighted the richness of best quality fruits Only one sad thing is our govt is Corporate Centric and the proof is Pineaple recently had reached Dubai at 500Rupppees each in fancy boxes At the source in Meghalsys Govt squeezed our farmers with Rs 12 Each.Minimum support price never respected and with cold storage on large scale potatoes vegetables in many occasion thrown away. Unless farmers are given due respect ,no hope to rise no fear to fall. If you could visit in winter time you could enjoy the world's best orange in the world as the 443km International border is Limestone area Only problem is this orange blight in which scientists are mesmerised Welcome again my friends

The farmers must be given a satisfactory price for their produce. They are the backbone of local economy.
The first meal you had in the Khasi stall. The was bitter gourd, not cabbage. In South India, they are made into chips. They taste really good. And the brown one is Bengal gram.
It's very interesting watching ur videos 😊

God bless you.😇🙏🏻 From Sohra Cherrapunjee.❤️🙏🏻
Reaction on his face when you eat our local fruits sohphie 😮❤😂
Come again to Shillong 👍👍🙏🙏🥰
That sour fruit is called "yinn" in my local dialect. It's called box myrtle, and belongs to the Myrica esculenta family. The ones found in Mon district in the state of Nagaland is usually larger, green in color, and turns pale pink as it ripens, has more juice that the khasi variety.
Nice khasi 😊❤
