As always, I'm Dan from The New Travel. Thanks for watching!
#India #IncredibleIndia #TravelIndia
To the Indian viewers who are new here - welcome! I'm Dan, and this is The New Travel. I try to make videos that break stereotypes about different cultures and show people the reality of life in different countries. I've been to Indian twice now and both trips have been unforgettable. It's a special land with a soul unlike any other. Some people in the comments have asked me why I travel in tuktuks and not take Ubers... it's because I want to be on the street and able to see the life moving around me. That is one of the joys of travelling India. I don't want to be "hidden away" in a car, I want to see and experience as much as I can. It's the reason I take trains instead of airplanes as well. I'm not sure if that makes sense... but it's how I travel!
In any case, you're welcome to visit my TRAVEL INDIA 🇮🇳playlist to learn more about these experiences. Have a great day...

My personal favourite video, "Varanasi... A City Like No Other" : czcams.com/video/srxbs9bmbeQ/video.html&
That buddhist temple is Sarnath and you should must visit Bodhgaya.
I personally suggest that whenever anyone plans to visit any country be it India or some other always find a friend , known person or a guide who can really make you through their countries' experience because they know it better and you'll enjoy your best.
Oh have a nice day 👍
Give me a chance to host you my brother...I live 100kms away from Varanasi.would love to meet with you.loved the video brother. New sub and a well wisher.
Infact, railways are the primary mode of long distance travel in India, not the highways or railways.

The problem with most of the foreign tourist is that they come with pre mindset that India is pretty cheap place , they don't prefer metro,ola ,uber etc for transportation but prefer tuktuk but latter keep complaing how a tuktuk driver scam them.They prefer to stay in some cheap hotel in some crazy place and later will complain how becoz of bug they couldn't sleep at night.Take street food 4m some random stall , at where even we Indian think 100times to take food, later on they have food poisoning and keep complain about Indian Street foood.Problem is that most of them are budget travellers.

@squ34ky2 so, if you see that in CZcams does it mean that's from India..... Are you really a fool or acting one.... In India we have a huge population but have enough of resources, whereas Bangladesh doesn't have enough of resources but one day they too will have prosperity by hard work, not like some other countries who exploit Asian countries for centuries....
India is alive, it takes you where you need to be not where you want to go....its frustrating but that's how india is and yes patience is the key. Every outing I've ever had in India never ever ends up as planned.

Filming in Delhi metro is chargeable and expensive.
movies are shot in metro n etc.
that's why unpermitted and unpaid filming is prohibited.
it's on an official document.
Unpermitted filming is banned since 2003 in Delhi Metro.
26/11 happened in 2008.
talk about false information.
pro tip:
if anyone wants to travel India, please learn some hindi, for example: when someone costs more money just say "loot kyu rahe ho bhaiya?" they will assume that u are no new to this place, and will finally charge normally.
And like this everyone get shocked 😂🔥
Only if you go to North India, a lot of tourists never go to North India and instead to South where people barely know any Hindi and instead speak English.
@@yourowndealer if they speak English, then it's good for foreigners
@@ziasyeda6645
Probably....but most of India speaks English especially in cities, so they can use English anywhere, that's the whole thing about English it's the global lingua Franca, a Chinese and French could talk to each other without one of them knowing the other's language by English.

India is not perfect and that's the beauty of this place!💕🕊
Nothing is perfect

No country is perfect
@@AwismitRana But perfect doesn't actually mean perfect. Perfection rather potrays the so called perfection which is imperfect in one or the other way. What i mean by perfect is the relative, so called perfectism. For example, countries like America, Japan, U.K. are considered perfect and that's why i said India is not perfect or say, real and sassy. I hope you get it!
I like ur comment...
I am an Indian who's lived in western countries for 13 years. I have been trying to explain what you just said about India to people curious about it, have never been able to articulate it so well. Such an accurate description of what India is. Thank you so much!!
Now you can just share this video 🙂

Bro your cycle rickshaw story is something that happened to me as well. Literally exactly the same. Got 100 rupees cycle rickshaw, crazy traffic, drops me across from the station and then asks for 150. And I actually ended up paying 150. And I'm an indian!
Never take rickshaw in sunlight if it doesn't have roof
@@stifler4eva1 never take rickshaw if you are inexperienced in bargaining. I always use uber, ola
Whatt😂😂😂
I am Indian too.. however ,I look at it slightly differently… we are ready to pay thousands to hotels,restaurants or other organised places who will calculate costs ,add overheads etc and then you have to give a respectful tip on top… these guys often work long hours, often sole breadwinners and have to pay for the hire of the vehicle if they do not own it…if you were feeling the sun… can you have a vision of someone who is pulling you along in that sun?
I often pretend to bargain and the after an agreed price I usually add a generous amount on top… the look on the face of the person is usually my biggest reward of the day.. I feel if we are so blessed we need to share some of the joy … please do not think I am sermonising .. I used to be different previously.. when I saw their lives more closely,my attitude changed
@@kissmisskanchi1550 after seeing this u changed mine too 👍
Your comments matched many of my experiences when I was there in 1984 and about your age. I ended up spending six weeks in India and Nepal. Time is not what westerners are use too, so changing your perspective is good advice. A meal might take two hours, exchanging money an hour. You learn that the bus or train may soon come meaning one hour or five hours, so you learn to chill and read your paperback. The people were amazing and I had very few problems, but it was challenging traveling. Often I would put off leaving my hotel room in the morning knowing once I left the sights and sounds would overwhelm my senses until my return. Also, there is no quite time with people playing music and engaging in activities all night. Overall I felt like it was life unfiltered showing you the good and the bad at any moment. I think of my experience there every day and gave me a perspective of life no other place can offer.
Above experiences are true
Alot has changed since 1984. Come back and see it for yourself
1984 wait 1997 here i come. Now things changed and get local info as indian i also do research of money and people , use cab for traveling and look for food INDIAN traveler and few travel blogger (indian photographs). And good to go.

No he is not lying. He doesnt want to visit a cold place because we have 10 months in a year cold weather here in Canada so why would we want to visit a cold place.
Perhaps he means it was too cold to visit due to his provisions. Maybe he didn't have clothing for colder weather. I enjoyed his video. He seems like a very nice and honest person. And I appreciated his perspective. Made me want to visit and see what I can only imagine is a beautiful country and wonderful culture.

@@simrantab6362 U live in Canada? 😐
When you are travelling in India, you should choose Ola or, Uber rather than Auto Rickshaw. Because a Rickshaw driver may charge more but a Uber/Ola driver can't. Use the application for Ola or, Uber. Specially, if you're a single traveller, then you can choose *Uber bike* as it's cheaper than cab.
exactly, or like use ola auto/uber auto, they have the same prices for everyone and it's reasonable too.
Please promote local people not the business. Not everyone like this. If we visit any foreign country they also do this. But it's not an issue. Our cost is small penny for them. 1$= around 90rs.

Thank you for the reassuring video. My wife and I are planing on traveling to India after the COVID goes away (we were planing before all this mess).
Do try if you can have destinations in South India, North East, Mountain states in North built into your travel plan. Very different experiences there than the major destination in north India.
But of course nothing is going to be safe till May-June 2022.
Avoid using Tuktuks, they will in most cases try to cheat you. If you can afford, use Ola or Uber.
Even many Indians have stopped using tuktuks since safety is questionable. I've had my own bad experiences a few years back, never used them since then unless an emergency.
Don't try to eat from nasty looking roadside stalls, even Indians avoid eating there, and you might get sick while an Indian won't since our body is used to local food.
All the best.
Warm welcome 😉

I as a traveller dont pay too high prices but you sometimes have to pay something that I call "idiot-bonus". 10 or 15% more as the local people have to pay.
You HAVE to catch this particular train, you NEED a bed to get some sleep.
So , OK , 80 Rs for the ride instead of 70. 650 Rs for the room instead of 600.
Let the people "win" a little. Sometimes NOT always.
They have to feed their families and that is hard enough!
Love for India, from Germany.
"India is a lesson in patience." Amen!
This is very well articulated Dan! I am glad you put things into perspective for travelers. While I have lived and continue to live most of my life in India, whatever you have experienced is fairly common in most cities/towns. Obviously Ola/Uber have now made a difference for you to not have the experience that you had with the cycle rickshaw ride, but you still learnt something in a much harder way. Don't overplan, have patience and it can make the ride worth it. And believe me, the traffic is what drives tourists crazy. Even as an Indian citizen, I have not yet been able to fathom how do we actually drive in this amount of traffic - it just happens like it's a miracle! Loved the vlog! Highly recommended!
I love your attitude! You’ve open my eyes and for this I Thank you!

You are such an amazing person and a very good talk about experience and positivity. Yes definitely it is annoying to wait for 2 hrs to book a tkt but the way you talked about patience is extraordinary.
I think you have understood India. You are really a genuine traveller, who enjoy the process of journey rather than destination. I can sense calmness, patience, appreciation of local culture, people, etc. in your narrative.
If u want some cold environment, have a road trip to leh ladakh. It will be unforgettable experience I can assure you that.

Well India is a growing country, battling with the problems with limited resources and a billion mouths to feed so the going gets tough.. but yeah we still enjoy the journey and hope we can improve over your honest reviews.. may be more attentive to your needs may be better ticket booking experience, wider roads, cleaner streets.. we are going slow but at the end we are moving forward.. continuously ❤️ love from India
*Hats off man you are a true inspiration instead of whining you adjusted yourself with the environment, that the thing most of the people are lacking now *
Good going pal. I'm Indian living in Toronto. So yes.. I congratulate you. You have made it 👍
India has so much of people,things can go wrong sometimes.Indian Railway is one of the largest network of rail in the world so it is not surprising when sometimes system don't work as you can think the same site would be used at different station at same time.
And I think every country has their goods and bads .🌼🌼
You are really doing a great job and I will suggest you to take train from Kalka to Shimla.It is UNESCO Heritage train you will really enjoy it. And if you still has time go to Ladakh or Spiti Valley in Himachal. You will really Enjoy it. All the best and Enjoy🤗
Dude I won't think people can top board on IRTC trains because of its electrification
You are totally on point, I can truly understand your point as I am an Indian who recently shifted to Canada from India. India can give you great experiences if you are flexible enough and could kind of balance between having a set schedule vs going with the flow.
Fantastic video. Dan, you are very profound in your thoughts and an excellent story teller. Look forward to watching more of your videos.
He pronounced "Shimla/शिमला" so correct!
may be, cause its sound matches its spelling, there's no other pronunciation for it!!!
You nailed it as far as patience being the key. I love India. I think the air pollution is also a big one to consider...even for those with healthy lungs. Also a few mores items to be mindful of if you're a solo female traveling. But, If you can find it, I agree finding the peace within yourself is the key to enjoying this magnificent country and its people! 💜
Nice to listen.. wish hAve a wonderful memories here😊
Being an Indian, i would not recommend solo trips in India specially for women. 75% of people are really good but there are 25% creepy population who do everything to make other people life hell. If you are traveling solo , don’t go to northern part the country…..
Dear sister, i recommend not good for solo, please travel with partner or with friends...
Love your video and realistic feedback!! Hoping you had great experience and awesome time with Indian food, culture and history. ✌🏼
Namaste 🙏
Thank you for sharing honest experience.
Lots of Love from India ❤️
great t,thank you!!! im going to India in a few days, and so excited!!! After 15 years going back to this incredible country! thank you for your words!!! namaste.
Hai... how did it go?
Hey Dan you're able to capture the essence of Indian philosophy, " It's no about destinations, rather the journey itself" enjoy what you have.
Nice realisticpresentation of India clearing all myths... Liked it.
The part you said about getting "mentally tired" just performing simple tasks is bang on. As an Indian, I still experience it. I can't understand why I have not got used to it after all these years. Then I reason it's because I can't get myself to accept that these things cannot change for the better. The status quo is largely because of the mindset of Indians to 'adjust' to these irritants rather than believe that we deserve better. We need to have higher expectations, voice it, and demand better standards for ourselves. We need to believe we are worth it. Until every Indian believes this, India will not change in this regard.
You truly experienced India.. and you somehow managed to express the essence of that journey.. so incredibly well. Absolutely brilliant vlog
the images of the crowded trains are not from India...its 4m Bangladesh or may be Pakistan.... bcoz all Indian train run by electricity ..and no one can ride above an electrically run train..
pritom bora even Indian railway didn't permit for this kind of journey
It’s usually from Nepal and Bangladesh. Pakistan too poor to even get trains. 😂
@@bharatAV come on man 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
pritom bora hahhaahhahaha that’s certainly not Pakistan! We do have trains
@@zaynali815 you have terrorists no trains only British time old shit trains
Wow I like that you articulate your real experiences so well. Wish you experience India in all its seasons across its varied landscapes.
I agree....in India for everything pace and planning are key for execution
Today's video was really good advice! Probably good advice just for life in general. Too often our disappointments come from mistaken expectations.
Stay calm. Enjoy the journey. Don't try to do too much in one day! Great advice. 😉
I am from India no hate for him but he show the train picture does not belong to India if they sit they will die in electric shock and this is illegal and one more he show those picture of small colony types these area belong to lower middle class area and India has so many better place
@@harshitatewari5644
If that is NOT an India train....thank you for explaing.
I understand there are many places in India. Some nice, some not so nice. If he showed some not so nice.......that is okay as long as it is really India. If it is another country and told to be India.....that would be wrong. ☹
Hope you are having ball of a time in India. Enjoy your stay! 🇮🇳🇨🇦
the weird thing is for me, I've lived in India for 13 years of my life and yet I didn't really experience what you have experienced unless I'm also traveling inside India,,, it's kind of amusing to think about XD
I am glad to see that u like India. Thanx for those wonderful words. Many foreigners portray different picture about India. And what u portrayed is exactly what my country looks like. So thank you so much. I hope u have great time here😇
Like Buddha
I also feel u got Enlightened in your own way in India
Peace n patience🙂
Mantra for happy life👌😎
You can book train tickets online and also book an Ola cab (just like uber) in varanasi and many other cities....
Hope it helps
Looking at this video and thinking about it as an Indian, I now know how patient I am. When I traveled to Europe then it helped me a lot because traveling a foreign country has always some surprises and I was able to manage it calmly.
Planning on giving Delhi, Luccknow, and Varnasi a go in December. Thanks for your good advice.
Never trust someone who is over friendly and not educated.
and how exactly you determine if somebody is uneducated? do you ask degrees?
@@0ldsage838 an educated ( not literate) person is always humble and gives right advice and shows right direction ,they are never overconfident though they might appear simple citizen like any other. Masses of middle class in India are those you can trust and it does not really include the rich people. They themselves are literate scammers who believe in leading a comfortable life not the life of worth.so if someone is over friendly always talking of benefitting you at the moment there is something mischievous cooking in his / her mind.
@@paraspathania564 now it make sense
@@paraspathania564 its not about education you dumbfuck. See, I'm educated but disrespectful.
@@0ldsage838 dressing sense
What a beautiful summarization of the travel experiences in India from a young but immensely wise person.
Bro... You are true Indian... Because same idea and thinking runs here... They have love, leave happy.. All the Best.. Always welcome
Wow, there are many things to be learned from this video, very genuine and optimistic person 👍
