welcome to malaysia.. again.. btw who says ur pronunciation of ‘roti canai’ is wrong.. i thought it was gd.. even some of ur malay was impressive… just ignore those with unnecessary comments… hv a safe travel throughout india…
U know Malaysian character.
Wasn’t that the cheapest though?
Malaysians are arrogant....
Come to record rural part . propogendist
Have dear friends from India, but there's no amount of money or people that can convice me to visit, not even big cities. Happy to watch it from afar.
I just finished watching a couple from Germany explore India. At the end of 2 weeks, both were mentally exhausted from the sounds and crowds. They walked and took transportation. This should be entertaining going forward. 😁
What is the german couple yt channel?
I loved visiting India though never got to Kolkata. It is a country of extremes and that includes people as much as places. My abiding memories are all of supreme kindness & generosity. A tuktuk driver who recognised me from an earlier journey & rescued me when I had an ill-advised adventure late one night with no plan on how to get back to my hotel. He even refused to accept the fare as I had given him a tip the last time. Enjoy the ride, it won't be dull!
Water. Be very careful what kind of water you drink in India. Only drink from "unopened bottled water/soda/fizz whatever" and do not put in ice in your drinks. Spent 1 week in the toilet after drinking water from a carafe in a restaurant
Be sure the bottles have not been refilled and sold again with untested water!
Or boiling hot chai
@2010katak really ??? Wth
@keangwooichoo6138 that would be absolutely safe.
Sounds awful.
My experience with India is, look for chain hotels. They have a reputation to keep. Good to see you there. Prepare yourself for the traffic
You mean OYO
Most underrated comment here. Absolutely agree. Chain hotels❤❤❤
Good luck driving in India...Traffic is MAD. Salute Marion for driving in India
not traffic is mad, people are mad.
I admire how you two never get jaded by continuous travel. You just might be the most resourceful and persevering travelers on CZcams. Arriving in the otherworldly landscape of Kolkata promises to be the start of an especially interesting leg of your journey.
Thank you 🌺
I can’t fathom driving in India 😳 Props to your bravery. 👏🏼
I just did it on a motorbike
@@MadDogAdventuresHorrible 😂
@@aegontargaryen6028with the amount of comments you’ve left about how amazing india is, the only one coping and seething here is you bud
@@aegontargaryen6028Of course by Excessive Population and Large Land Mass!
its a huge shithole
When this is all done, please do a video ranking countries based on difficulty to drive in. I think all of us would be extremely interested in your observations. It's so hard to find anyone that has such a depth of experience.
That might be fun to do !! Thanks for the idea 😉🙏💃
The first time I was in India was in the early 1980’s, I also arrived in the early morning and saw people sleeping by the roadside outside the airport in Delhi and near my hotel at connaught place. Years later on my second visit, India has developed tremendously and I bet things will get even better in years to come. Love the adventure India has to offer, from
KL, Malaysia
Same when I went to Nigeria. Infrastructure was bad, transportation horrible and so much dirt roads but when I went back over ten years later it was like night and day. There were no stores where you could buy goods other than local stuff. But now they actually have malls, nice transportation…you name it they got it. I was so amazed. Beautiful
I’ve travelled across India numerous times including by local bus. At first it’s a big shock to the system, and your first experience was exactly the same as mine although my accommodation was much worse.
After that I adapted and never had reason ever again to find fault.
It’s such a rewarding experience and the people lovely. You’ll love it.
Odomos mosquito cream was sent from heaven. Nothing better.
Not everyone is lovely there, in fact there are many dangerous people out there...bcuz recently a Spanish couple who drove across India by motorbike were assaulted & the the wife was raped by several individuals.
Are you a young female? I think young female’s experience of India is completely different.
Nothing can prepare you for India . . .. . just be calm , losing temper will not help . . . . .and especially , very especially be calm when driving , do not expect anything like normal conditions , after one week you begin to feel more relaxed . . . .all the best and i really hope you discover magic of India . 👍
Just spend more money as u do in Europe and research properly. Everything else will be fine!!.
Why doesn’t India learn from other countries as to traffic management? Would save a lot of accidents and deaths.
@@hereweare9096 India has its own way of doing things , outsiders tend to love it or hate it .
@@hereweare9096 Per capita accidents are much less than USA/ Europe.
I love India and have visited several times. It’s not for everyone, but I adore it. India is the only place I have ever had culture shock. I can’t wait to return soon, and look forward to watching your adventures.
India is like no other country on earth. I travelled there first in 1996, a forty six year old white American woman alone, with a backpack and Lonely Planet guide. I ranged from Mussoorie on the border of Tibet down to Kerala down south, although I centered a chunk of my travels all over Rajasthan. I wanted to experience the India that everyday Indians did, so stayed at the same rooming houses and little local hotels that they did, where sometimes I had to request a bucket of hot water for the cold water only shared showers. The poverty, dirt, trash and lack of Western sanitation methods was shocking, although I managed to never get sick. There was barely any internet, and often the power was down so the few who had it, mostly big businesses like major airline booking offices, couldn't access the rudimentary and slow dialup service, anyway. When I got back, people would ask "Did you have fun in India?" and I told them that India is a country that most travelers don't associate the word "fun" with as a description of their trip. It was wonderful anyway, people were kind and the local people I met were gracious and welcoming. It was eye opening about the reality of our world.
@@curleycale8274 It's cleaned up a lot now (comparatively) and it looks like the middle class segment of the population got a foothold. However, there's lots of things about India that will never change.
Did you really hope to get broadband internet in india in 1996?
@@ratulxy She never mentioned she expected broadband. She simply referred to the service provision itself being an issue. I don't think her concern was what type of transmission or technology. 🙄
If you used a lonely planet guide you didn't see India that hasn't been traveled by tens of thousands of tourists before you.
Power issues are still there-even in a big city we had power cuts several times (not just a few seconds but up to about half an hour at a time) in 2 weeks. In the UK,I can't even remember the last power cut - many years ago. Also,electrical safety is extremely poor in India with many obvious potential fire hazards quite visible.
Loved India, stayed in a homestay in Kerela, hired a car in 2011 there were very few direction signs and no electronic maps, asking for directions interesting as pointed in both directions in an effort to please us! roads pretty manic.
Sounds lovely we are excited to see the real India - our route is Kolkata to Jaisalmer and beyond ... 🙌
@@TREADtheglobe you are in for a pure treat. I've done most of that road. Jaisalmer fort is a unique beauty you need to allow time to soak in. I spent 4 days and didn't tire of it, personally. I hope you're stopping in Agra and Jaipur at least. The road runs through the great Thar desert. This is no joke. It's a wilder area. Some roads if you travel near dark there are bandits who will 100% kill you not just rob you. Don't stop for someone. They take their role as bandits very seriously and won't be brought off or placated. In fact they find the attempt insulting according to my guide. If you are caught offer to join them is apparently the only chance you have. Then you hope for a police or military rescue. I think there is a movie about a woman who survived this by doing so. Not fiction, but hopefully the situation has changed for the better in 10 years.
Sunroof? Close it if you don't want a big cat jumping in if you drive under trees. Plus the desert? If you break down it can be life-threatening. So those are major risks. The experience? My lifetime best. Carry a huge supply of bottled water and drink it. Double or triple the amount you think you need to carry. Have food on board. Make sure Trudi is tip top for sand. Sometimes it gets swept across the road. Roads can disappear entirely. If possible, again, a local guide is valuable. Mine took me to an amazing ruined temple in the jungle between Udaipur and Jaipur. Not signposted at all. Just phenomenal, like being on an impossible movie set in real life, and it was just us. Please do small legs as this allows you room to recover when things go wrong and to be in great shelter before late afternoon and after early morning. Plus, this is a time and place to smell the flowers and soak it in. It's very much once in a lifetime. Go for it! 😀 You could visit the Tiger reserve.
In 2007 I traveled across India mainly on the train I was there for about four months and when Ieft I flew into to Bangkok I couldn't believe how modern Bangkok was but my time in India was amazing I hope you enjoy your travels too good luck.
i'm one of your followers , hope u have a safe journey in India
Can I just say to all those who are asking why India and Kolkatta…. Thank you for going to India- what did anyone expect to see? We all know that the difference from poverty to the rich is very wide. I look forward to more vids xx
India is unique. Either you hate it, or you fall in love. I have been there 12 times, starting in 1996, spent almost 2 years there in different places. Extreme beauty and extreme ugliness exist side by side. It can be shocking and overwhelming in the beginning but possibly very rewarding in the end.
100% agree. Challenging but transformative. It is not for everyone, but can be the most amazing experience.
I love India! I have been five times and always feel so welcome. I eat all the street food and never get sick! Go figure! But, there are important things to know if you go to India. One, hang with India people because that is what makes India so enjoyable. Indians are so friendly and spending time with Indian families and friends makes the difference. Second, don’t drive there! Even I, who have driven all over the world, no, I don’t drive in India. And who needs to? There are rickshaws and Uber and you can hire a driver and car for the day for $25. No need to drive. Also, wear Indian clothes, ladies! They are beautiful and comfortable.
It's India! Stay strong. Always drink bottled water. Never take your change back without waiting. It's a life changing experience.
Well, There are RO Water Stations in most big Indian cities where you could pay Rs 5 and get 20 Litres of Water. But not sure if those exist in Kolkatta, It is one of the most backward states in India.
@@hindurashtra63 do you know what kind of treatment they use there?
@@danieleverywhere132their sewage is not treated nor is it modern, so I doubt the drinking water is any betters they don’t have the infrastructure to accommodate the people they have there. You’re either rich or poor, the middle class has been deleted.
@@ThatGirlLib situation is same all over Africa and half of Asia
but mostly at least you buy something in store is clean,not so in India
they have long way to go
Good luck in India!
Marianne you are an excellent driver so if anyone can drive in India it’s you. We’ve been to India twice, like you, our first reaction was shock, but once you get into the swing of it, I’m sure you will love it. The colours are amazing and the people so welcoming and friendly.
We joked that India will be lovely when it’s finished… as you venture onwards through India you will know what I mean. I’m really looking forward to your Indian adventure. Hygiene is not really their thing so I’d be careful about eating meat in particular, delicious though it might be at the time it can come back to bite you a few hours later! We all went vegetarian for our trips. But as I love spicy food like you Chris I did love the food.
Thank you - we have both become veggie on this trip too 😉🌺 and we have realised that Kolkata is a very special and unique place .....
"Hygiene is really not their thing". Really makes me want to book a ticket.
And they make 'hand made' buses too! So safety isn't their thing either 😂 India is a fourth world country. Even Africa is more developed and cleaner than India now.
Always enjoy watching you both. I have traveled in India, it’s an eye opener culture shock…driving there good luck and be safe. New Zealand.
@@wingkin4No. Unless they decide to continue to Iran, which they won't, given what's going on now in the Middle East. That's why I'm sure they'll be on a plane to Istanbul or somewhere around there from Mumbai, with Tracy being transported by ship.
One thing from the street venders you can trust is the Chai. It's always boiled.
If you want and tell people to go away, you must waggle your head, otherwise they don't understand you :)
Yep. Absolutely correct.
Very true! The only street vendor drink I had was masala chai. No problem
We really enjoyed this video and appreciate that you not only made the transition from one country to,another, but managed to film enough for us to feel almost as though we were there with you.
Thank you both 🌷
Hi, yes arriving in India looked like a different planet from Malaysia 🤔 Hopefully everything will go according to plan for you and no damage to dear Trudy. Safe travels, you’re both awesome in my book ❤❤
that bed sheet is an absolute nightmare. throughout our two months stay in India, we only encountered one hotel with such bedding condition with many 'stains' all over. we were ok with it as our intention was to find a room to leave our luggage while we went shopping and wait for our flight which was another 11 hours.
WHAT AN ADVENTURE!. Looking forward to the next video. Take care both of you.
Exciting part of your journey... nothing compares to India ❤Tip: Make sure you say 'NO' to hawkers, if you say maybe they take it as a yes. Btw it gets up to 55C in central I dia but it's a dry heat so more bearable.
I don’t know how you do it but you’re brilliant. Would never have the patience nor the bravery to take on so many challenges. Love the vlogs.
Thank you !
Your travel is really inspiring. I was a silent observer since driving in Malaysia. Both of you are such a loving travelling couple. I enjoyed your travel in Malaysia and the correct Roti Canai pronunciation. So much of info. Kudos to you and Marianne on your next leg to Kolkata India. I haven't been there yet. Waiting for your exploring of the mega city. Good luck!
I remember talking to an Indian lady and I said to her I was thinking of visiting India and she replied: 'what do you want to go there for!" I didn't visit India!

You do need to go more upmarket regarding hotels when in India. We stayed in beautiful places that were much more reasonably priced than in North America and Europe.
I couldn't do any cities in India. I'd absolutely go crazy over the poverty, and noise.
They love honking
@keangwooichoo6138 the pointless honking. Lol

Awesome video as always Chris and Marianne.Congratulations on landing in India 🇮🇳 can’t wait to see Trudy put her wheels on the ground in India. And can’t wait to see all the epic adventures all have in store. Thanks for letting us ride along with y’all on y’all’s journey around the world. 🌎
Thank you Christopher !! Trudy is going to rock India - I am sure 😉🌺
i think this is one of the best view of india vlogs.. quite clear .. and fascinating
Looks like it's going to be a very interesting journey through India, goodluck guys!! Keep safe !! Enjoy !!
You guys continue to inspire … I think over the next week with a hotel base you will slowly slip into the Indian vibe …. Looking forward to your adventures there …
Please be careful in UP, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Madhya Pradesh. Those states are not safe.
india is not for beginners but the people are so good they will always help you , Welcome to india ❤
help lol? u mean pretend to be nice then ask for money after
won't even give clean bed sheet after paying them.
Beginners??? This couple is highly expert about van life.
@@erkanduruk- Not for them. I think the OP is warning the viewers.
My daughter was in Kolkata in January. Her 3rd trip to India and 1st to the east coast. She adored Kolkata, but she knows India well. It was a cultural trip
I've been watching your videos all day! Keep them coming! I must say, I'm quite jealous. I really miss India and Nepal. Hope to get back there soon.
I lived for 4 years in Sri Lanka, absolutly loved it. I visited India for a week or so, never going back again.
Sri Lanka is different
We only visited Sri Lanka briefly, we thought it was a bit like India but cleaner.
U r feeble
What do expect. I have been to India many times and absolutely love the people, culture and the country. It is a beautiful country
Wow very interesting video so far! Hope all goes to plan guys and Trudy arrives safely and survives the crazy street driving! xx
I'm from Malaysia but have been to India quite a few times now just to wish you guys a goodluck and have a safe trip there !
I drove to Nepal, via India, from London in the 70s. Drove all over India. Wild camping, in tents, most of the way. I always say, if you only ever visit one country in your life, it should be India.
Robert Louis Stevenson would have spelt traveler as traveller!
Noooooooo. Almost every country in the world is more peaceful, more beautiful and less stressful than India. Maybe in the 70s it was ok.... but now it is quite literally a hellhole.
@@imcaufieldholtthere’s lots of hellholes in the world these days. 😢
I disagree on sooo many levels - if there is one country to avoid - it is India....
We did the golden triangle some years ago, with a private driver ,roads absolute madness, on a dual carriageway, traffic coming towards us on our side of the road, driver said that was normal, another road had seven lanes of traffic going into one, lots of horn blowing, best of luck
Lots of horn blowing in Thailand? That's unusual. While Thais do blow their horns, contrary to the claims some expats make, horns are only used when necessary as Thais can run you off the road or point a knife or gun at you if you blast your horn too much. Seriously.
I am from India. My first comment, Kolkatta, was a wrong choice. You should have used Chennai as a port of entry and also to ship your van. Your experience would have been much different. I don't know how you plan to travel out. But Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujrat, and Rajasthan onwards towards the north would have taken you through a better experience, both driving as well as places to see. I presume you either plan to drive into Pakistan or ship your van once again to Iran or other countries in that region.
Hi - I think you are right !! Kolkata has been a baptism of fire indeed 🙏 But we are often only given certain choices when shipping and it is not always possible to go where you want - but where the logistics of shipping allow - This expedition has always been about driving around the world and getting from the UK to UK - but as you can imagine the world and routes have been very fluid since 2020 with permissions and borders etc. Kind regards Marianne
No difference, as a whole, India is dirty, unhygienic and poor infrastructure.
Where are you storing the wood portion? You have such little space
Anywhere in india is wrong choice. Sugarcoating reality. Trash in real.
This brought back memories of my first trip to India in 1997. And like you, arrived in Kolkata or Calcutta back then, at night. Felt surreal looking at the streets during the drive from the airport. It was daunting at first. And hated the massive crowd and dust. But the city grew on me. Despite the poverty, people I met were the nicest and most memorable in all my travels. And I grew to love waking up to the sounds of the hustle and bustle of the city. Stayed at Sudder Street 😊
What a start to your India adventure! Glad you found better accommodation 😅 If anyone can drive those crazy roads, Marianne can! ❤
Thanks! 😃
Hats off to you two , it makes me nervous just watching your films.
Safe travels.
Traveled to India 3 times in the past. Never had a trip where I totally liked it or hated it. It was always somewhat OK, although I admit I was on business trips, not pleasure. I knew a bit about what I would be experiencing, so it was not a surprising. The best part was the delicious food. Indians do a Indian Food best, and it's a favorite for me.
What a fantastic brave couple ??? The BEST of British !!!

Hi, I hope today is a good day wherever you are ! I'm so sorry about your bad experience in the first hotel, but so relieved the other one seemed to be perfect. I hope your stay there was in fact ok and that Trudy is fine with the upgrades ! Have a wonderful day !
I simply loved India, hope you enjoy!
😂
With AC keep your barrier between cab and main part closed so less area to cool. We use a thick curtain, makes a huge difference. Stay cool!
Thanks for the tips! We have tried it and used it in the past but we are finding that as it gets hotter and Trudy is insulated for the UK weather the van holds the cool air in !! LOL - who knew
I lived briefly i. Sri Lanka and my daughters ❤️ husbands family is from Siligiri NE india. I will go one day and eventually plan to spend many months at a time, too.
I’m remembering the India I saw in 1976. It hasn’t changed much! We traveled around India with our own sheet to handle the dirty sheet problem at hotels. It was a pain to wash them because most laundry were hand washing affairs.

I have travelled 16 countries till now and the list includes most developed countries. It made me appreciate India so much. India has a heart and soul which is mostly lost everywhere else
Do you know why all these people follows you and watch you ?
Because non of us can do what you really do !
I've always say't.. "You are Heroes"
The wildest part is that they just said no to clean sheets😮
They may not have owned spares or have in house washing
That probably was the cleanest bedding they provide as per the hotel standards😀

G'day thanks for another great episode guy's! I can not wait to watch this India series and to see Trudy driving around there! Stay safe guy's and enjoy!
Thank you !
You should also fix your Horn in Malaysia besides the air conditioning 😂 Horning is polite in India, it means “excuse me, pls let me go”😊
Your hotel at 2am was reminiscent of my arrival in Beijing. Was a huge hotel but the all the lights were off and reception staff were asleep behind the counter. I had to bang on the revolving door entry for 10 minutes to wake them up! India can make and break a traveller from experience. It is the land of extreme duality but you'll get used to it. Safe travels.
Honestly! You two are so intrepid! I’m sure you will have an amazing time but stay healthy and safe! High five to you ✋🏻
India has many amazing sights, sound and smell, lots of interesting historical places to visit, however the traffic is horrible and the poverty is in the extreme! Be vigilant!!! Good luck on your journey in India.
Sorry for your bad hotel experience there, i had similar bad experience too during me last visit to India. My advise if you need to stay in a hotel in India, make sure it's at least 3 international stars hotel, I mean the hotel brands that are renowned around the world. Enjoy India :)
India has huge population , India cannot be generalized , it’s a great nation with so many stunning places . Don’t compare it with Malaysia , every country is good
Great nation 😂😂😂??? Are u sure
I have been to Jaipur, Agra & New Delhi. Travel from Jaipur to Agra & New Delhi by bus & back to Jaipur by train. I dont want to comment much, just to say, that is my first & last trip to India.
You need to re-visit. It’ll cure you of your first trip to India. I hated India, my first trip and every other hour vowed to change my flight and get the hell out of hell. Now 6 trips later, I can only tell you how much I love that country and it’s people.
Sir, tell us more about your trip to India la.... thx sir
@kimo 2:32 lowo4364
You've no idea how much I'm looking forward to these videos
I've only spent a few weeks in India. I got bored so I bought a bicycle and cycled most days. People thought I was mad. I just followed the locals, go with the flow - if that meant going down the hard shoulder of a dual carriageway on the wrong side because it was easier than crossing, I would. I found that whilst it's busy, crazy, at the end of the day, no one is actually out to kill anyone on the road! Take your time, go with the flow.
If you go anywhere near Agra there's the most wonderful elephant rescue called wildlife sos, one of their recently rescued elephants is a baby called bami that was hit by a train.
I think it's pronounced "jallo-PEN-no" 😁😉
What a stark contrast between KL and Kolkata. 😱 It's one thing to know and understand the wealth disparity, another entirely to experience it.
Speaking of contrasts, your move from the 1st to 2nd hotels was a huge upgrade, obviously. Yikes!
Looking forward to seeing India through your eyes. All the best from Seattle. ❤️❤️😎👍xx
Thank you 🌷💜
Tip: buy a fog horn for Trudy…with all the horns blaring out there, a fog horn won’t be mist 🌫
Ha Ha - you are not wrong !!
it is hot hot summer. this is the best time to explore the mountains Indian Himalayas most beautiful part of India-Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Sikkim. Ladakh is other worldly place most beautiful in India and one of the most beautiful in the world.
Count your blessing. India has come a long way from the days of the hippie trail i.e. driving from Kathmandu to London. Whatever you do, don't compare i.e. fire safety in the stairwell. India is a land of extremes. You will either love it or hate it. And don't take Trudi on the mountain pass to Srinigar.
Looking forward to your travels through India. I have been there 6 times and love it. Sometimes its overwhelming but don't let that 24:38 stop you. But please don't drive in the night, truckdrivers are known to take drugs to keep awake. And avoid eating meat, to minimize the risk of getting the runs. And the Indian vegetarian kitchen is the best in the world. Save travels🙏
watch out in india there is loads of speed bumps PS if you watch MarcTravels he is a german guy who is in india on a EVmotorbike and he has ridden all the way from berlin germany on his bike
Safe journey in India.. Hope you had a wonderful time in Malaysia. Thanks for visiting Malaysia. We will always welcome you.. 😅😊
My heavens!!!! the 1st hotel WAS a nightmare🥴 & my sympathies to your guys!!! Looking at the traffic, I foresee "M" driving skills will be tested to the limits!!!! Cant wait for next the adventure😍
Good bye & hope to see u all again in Malaysia...take care ^^
We will be back !!
Gosh the bureaucracy and all the paperwork/visas must be so exhausting ! But you two do it with such grace 😊
I can't wait to see your adventures in India! Hang on and have fun!
They locked the hotel doors at night? Well that's a sign.....
India is hard work full of lows but equally very high highs it can be magical! It can get under your skin
Name me a high, please?
That first view of Taj as you go through the gate, the Himalayas, kerala backwaters, I could go on
Now I don't have to wonder why India was never on my travel list 😂, but I still hope I will be able to experience a travel-friendly India someday
Be careful with the bed bugs they might sneak into your luggage and later make Trudy their new destination
And the bed is clean 😅😅😅😅 On your next trip get the UV Light!!! And you might be absolutely shocked 😊😊😊
Some years ago I worked for an instrument company based in England. (I am American). During a 2 week training visit in the UK a senior manager pulled me aside for a private word. If they ever ask you to do a job in India refuse. Don’t go!
A total dump, tooooooo many Peasants in this overcrowded, overpriced, disgusting dirty country with a dirty brown skin, too yuck
That’s sad. India is a wonderful place to visit because it challenges you. It’s a whole other world. And it is wonderful. Beauty, trash, quiet scenery, noisy cities, wealthy homes, homeless and poverty, delicious food, bad drinking water, warm friendly people but also ruthless and cheating scammers. I lived there for 2 years and it was the best 2 years of my life. I can’t wait to go back!
