- I walk around Pushkar Lake in India and witness people bathing, being close to their spiritual roots, feeding the fish and birds that inhabit the area, and absorb life happening along the shoreline of this sacred and holy lake as we wander by.
One man tries to befriend me only to request money, he then follows me for a short way as he considers making another attempt to demand some cash. He was initially very friendly and playful but became a little more surly when his request was refused. I feel having the camera with me and blogging helped dissuade him from continuing to try extract money from me.
We see holy men, statues and many great old buildings enveloped in a very spiritual and calm atmosphere that makes Pushkar lake a very special place I would recommend everyone to visit if they can.
It was a great walk around the lake.
Sending love from a fellow Australian who has just started her journey again after 25 years in Oz
Yay ❤ I spent time in Pushkar 1991 it’s was awesome ❤ the light was full for the first time in 20 years a truly incredible experience. A must visit.
Wow! It's looking adorable and attractive place and, Ayodhya and Varanasi are also a good place to visit
It really is a special place around Pushkar Lake. I think I'll spend a lot of time hanging out there while I'm here.
Very sad about scammers and those that are friendly only for the money.
As an Indian if I ever emcounter such people I make sure they don't dare to scam anyone else. My dad once scolded one of the scammers so bad he was never seem again in that area. I just wish government would make strict laws against scamming and forceful selling. That's so irritating for anyone coming from outside.
Yes, it's disappointing when you find people are only interested in talking with you in the hope of extracting money from you. I hope they're able to find a better way through life.
Your voice is pretty well and I love to talk with you guys and you guys most welcome in India .
Hey, vishupratap, thanks very much. More than happy to talk to you should we ever be in the same place.
You are doing good sir . Hope we will see you in Southern states of India.
I like your laidback, relaxed content! Subscribed! :)
Thanks so much. UrialCopy.
@@fiascodagama1 Yeah, it's a nice style.
I hope you had a good time. If you're still in pushkar, must try some local delicacies. "Malpua" is one of the famous and a delicious desert you'll find in pushkar. Mostly available everywhere but one of the best place to have it is near the main entrance of Gau Ghat.
Excellent! Thanks for the food advice. I'll look for some malpua on my walks around Pushka - here for another few days.
That's great. Enjoy your stay and be careful of priests and other people who, very humbly forces you to offer prayers by putting flowers in the lake and demanding hundreds of dollars. @@fiascodagama1
It's quite funny how your accent changes when speaking to Indians. I probably do the same when I'm there.
I was talking to someone about it the other day and i'm quite conscious of it because I don't want it to be misinterpreted as being disrespectful, but it seems to automatically occur.There have been studies conducted on the subject and it seems to stem from a sense of empathy apparently. I'll be trying to remove it. Thanks for dropping by.
@@fiascodagama1 I don't think you need to remove it. I think it's just natural. I found myself saying "possible"? constantly in almost every sentence there.
Its really amazing to see your content.
You can try more of such scenic places, instead of the usual Delhi Mumbai kind of vlogs.
These places are more than inviting.
Thanks so much, akshayhazari. I really enjoy walking the streets and chatting to people.
Refreshing to see travelers other than the hippies with their dreadlocks and elephant pants. Not that there's anything wrong with those, but diversity is always welcome 😂
Also, if you use "namashkar" instead of "namaste", that will let locals know you know a bit more than your average visitor.
There's definitely a few of the hippie sort out this way, and throughout India in general, I guess. The alternative types would outnumber others in Pushkar, I'd say.
Sun set and sun rise is very beautiful near the Lake, and yes lot of street shops serve tasty food , market for shopping is also very cheap
I think the main market is one of the best value markets I've seen so far in India. And you're right, sunset at the lake is very special.
If you liked this place the most instead of Mumbai you could do Hrishikesh/Dharamshala first (Winter is still not here in Mumbai). A hot coffee/tea by the ganga in Hrishikesh is pure bliss.
That's actually quite a good suggestion, parth, I'm going to consider it seriously. Thanks.
Hope you get a chance to visit Udaipur, Bundi, Kumbelgarh, these are my favourite places other than Jodhpur in Rajasthan
Hi Mathew. Udaipur is next on this somewhat unpredictable route being taken. Not sure where after that, I'll look at your recommendations and see how they fit. Thanks.
Enjoyed the video of sacred lake. Good that he doesn't follow you to keep asking for money. It's a shame.
It's a lovely place to spend time, that's for sure.I'll be watching some sunsets there over the the next few days, I think. Thanks for saying hi, Ali.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have been there once
Nice to see
Hi Robins. It's quite a special place and a great venue to sit and pass some time. Thanks for dropping by to say hello.
I always say very firmly CHELO (GO !!)
Thanks. I'll remember that.
Google can't explain Hinduism perfectly
1:08 that ladies laughed like lady Ghosts. s
Visit Mumbai Maharashtra as well 😊
I hope to do just that. Thanks.
In Hinduism many way of devotion
Bhakti, meditation, karma
Help only needy people like handicapped or old
Thanks,Dev.
Hi, I would like to invite you to Kerala state in south. Kochi is a beautiful city❤.
I'm looking forward to the backwaters of Kerala very much. I've heard Kerala is very beautiful. Thanks for the invitation.
Come to northeast india
I'm hoping to get there at some point.
@@fiascodagama1 that's awesome
Please visit nagaland and its headhunting tribes,dzukou valley and the landscape is very different from the rest of mainland India I'm sure you'll love it!
We need long videos
Ok. I thought people might get bored. I'll try make longer ones. Thanks for the feedback.
@@fiascodagama1we prefer 20-25 min long videos because it engages the audience also 5-7 min videos are ok but we hv to go each video to click then people find it annoying.
Do visit puskar cafes like la pizzeria
There seems to be quite a few cafes a couple of which I'm enjoying. I particularly like the guys at Funky Monkey for breakfast as they're a lot of fun and the food is very reasonably priced as well and efficiently made. I'll keep an eye open for La Pizzeria. Thanks.
Gujarat is in the west of India itself and rajasthan shares their border with gujarat
Hi sidnair, thanks for the information.
Any plans to come to kerala?
I look forward to it, ramak. Maybe one more month before I get there.
You will see such kind of people asking for money at every big tourist spots just ignore them and move on if you really want to donate a really needy you can but avoid those are in fit conditions n work as a naxas
I think it's important to give where you can, but as you say, make sure it's to those who are legitimately needy.
@@fiascodagama1 exactly here in India we most likely donote or help to those who is old, blind, handicap or anyone with disability or someone who is just hungry also buy them food instead of giving money then you will be sure your money went to right place that's it don't entertain the other thugs who are fit and fine and runs legit gangs they just loots peoples money impostering the geniune needy.
Hope your shoes were safe
Ha! I put them in my bag.
Also changes to pigeon English, who let this bloke out of Australia
It's an interesting trait I'm aware of and often don't realize I'm doing it. Studies suggest it stems from a sense of empathy. Have a great day.
Explore NE India.
I've been told by many people to visit there. I look forward to it.
