That's a really unfortunate event. I hope you guys did not have any issues on the way out. Have had several experiences like these on my travels around the world , in India they tend to ignore us as locals. I understand how you guys must be feeling, i've had someone try to pickpocket and scam me in Milan and Barcelona before.. not too keen on ever returning to those places either. The rest of the trip seemed nice and colourful. I wish you safe travels free from interactions with such rotten apples.
Yes!! Europe is very bad with these scams.. even worse in many cases. Thanks for watching ❤️❤️❤️
@@TwoMadExplorers Had a wonderful time in every other place, I think those were my lucky days :D. This video is a great head's up for other travelers, very easy for some unsuspecting travelers to get ensnared in his web.
@@morgoth16 Cheers 🍻 ❤️
We are loving your wonderful travels and experiences in our country, but are very sorry about the experience you had here. We would apologize on behalf of our people who are some black spots.
Do not know how to compensate you back on not only expenses but most importantly cheer you back.
But all ❤ to you both guys and request you to Google a bit before you visit any location be it tourist attractions, food spots or markets to be better aware. 🙏
@@girishglg ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This Man Is Tout...These Rascals Are A Disgrace For The Country. This One Man Has Put MYSURU & COUNTRY To Shame....
People are not allowed to sit on those elephants in the Palace. That man must be arrested. Beware of those Bearded people.
Beware of bearded people with no moustache, offcourse.

The situation begins at 36:00 in this video. The lovely young man that we bought fragrance oils from is NOT a scammer. He’s a great salesman and sells high quality products. We encourage you all to watch the video entirely to understand what really happens before commenting.
But you were the one who asked us to let you know in the comments if you were scammed or not 18:15 🤷🏻♂️
@@dean1690 it's fine they are foreigners...also they were scammed before ,so they are careful now .
I am so glad they purchased from that man ...
@@dean1690 I know, but the experience and kindness of the guy was very pleasant and we don’t want to give him a bad name regardless. ❤️
Avoid those bearded man withoit moustache.
@@indiantiger.1419 everyone knows he is a muslim😂😂
As an Indian don't let them cheat u are a smart person be one step above them ....if u can outsmart an Indian u can outsmart anyone
❤❤❤❤
Mysore/Mysuru is a beautiful place with a lot of incredible food and experiences. We highly suggest that you all check it out. ❤🇮🇳
These poor people know that tourists are rich.. especially foreigners... which is true and try to mint money( probably for basic needs) from them which is wrong.. but colonialism was a BIGGER SCAM... in today's world not all people are getting and enjoying equal resources for equal work... which is a greater wrong.. and I don't see any efforts improment of the situation.. even organizations like UN , ICC etc are biased and that is a FAR BIGGER SCAM
@@awakeningforce8798 Oh wow! Thanks for all these tips!!
The elephant guy is a scammer, I apologize for his bad behaviour, shameless people like him only bring shame and disgust for the country they live in. I feel for you both☮️
99% of people here are fantastic ❤️
The guy should be reported to the place managements , please take it lightly, you were wonderful there , enjoy and be happy in India, welcome to India
Sorry for your bad experience!
It is a best place to tour and visit, brush off negatives and enjoy your journey and tourism you guys are doing amazing and I watch your vlogs frequently 👍🏼 ❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
40:47 'if you are one of these people who are taking pictures sitting on an elephant I am sorry but you are really not a good human being'. what that human being is doing who have made this judgemental statement! in earlier videos in their channel they have said they are mainly meat eaters and eaten animal meat, recorded them and published on CZcams. so they are promoting slaughtering of innocent animals who hardly can defend themselves and enjoying feasting on their dead bodies: also demoting sitting on Elephant for a minute which is by far the strongest land animal on earth.
Never Pay Money Unnecessarily...
No you were not scammed on the perfume stuff. Mysore is a very authentic destination for sandalwood products as it has a lot of history associated with it. The guy was good and genuine and the price was good. It sounds like a marketing practice but incense and perfumes need marketing as they are not essentials else it's hard to sell them. So no worries.
Yes we are very happy with our perfume purchases ❤️❤️
He is right. Sandalwood is really expensive so he quoted you a fair price. The real scammers are Hugo Boss and Prada but usually people all around the world are happy to be scammed by big brands just so they can brag how much they paid lol.
Mysore looks super authentic… that market 😯
Love you Mysore by Kerala 🥳🤩😉
❤️🇮🇳
That fella total changer. Poor Elephant 🥲 fair play to Luke and Naomi for standing up for what is right. How horrible that this happened to you. Karma will take care of that man. Stay safe x
Mysore Palace Is The Second Most Visited Place In India...
It’s a truly beautiful place ❤️
Well done great job u tackled correctly great videos loving your explore
🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
This is really against Indian culture. The authorities must take actions against that fellow. Please consult the local persons before going to such lonely enclosure.
That is Abdul chacha... illegal Bangladeshi immigrant... There are a lot of them in Elephant camps across Karnataka working as labours..
😂😂
I’d say your heading to Hampi next. Loving your travel adventures.🙏🏼😊
11:25 omg he is literally the guy "those happy days" met.... He is even wearing the same t - shirt...he also gifted them incense...
It would be so amazing if you two had an accidental Collab...It would have been funny if both of you had the same guy in thumbnail.
Colours are just beautiful 🥰
I am sorry you had that horrible experience. Unfortunately, that is far too common in the more touristy spots. I had a similar experience in Kerala where a mahout was pissed off at me for just wanting to pet his elephant instead of riding it. He got no money out of it. The person who was driving us around insisted I take a picture with the elephant just to piss off the mahout some more. 😁
😂😂 nice!
You have visited flower market.The small cube blocks are Jaggery.
Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary and Mysore Zoo?? Also check out Yana caves (This is not in Mysore).
By the way you people were lucky to get Guru Sweets Mysore Pak. When I visited Mysore last week, there was such a looong queue. People were standing for more than an hour for their turn. I had to catch the Shatabdi back to Chennai so had to buy it from another sweet shop. Love all your videos.
Thank you so much Sujatha
is so nice to see it with your eyes
You did the best not paying anything to scammer,hope authorities take action on this fellow, I will try to see this reaches authorities
Good that you guys enjoyed the "Mysore Pak." and the Palace in Mysuru.
Most unfortunate that there are some unscrupulous clowns (those elephant care takers) that create a bad experience for visitors (and the elephants that they have been entrusted to look after and to think that these jokers get remunerated for their jobs). Hopefully the Mysuru (Karnataka) Tourism Department authorities take note of their actions and take appropriate action. Please don't allow this experience to become a dampner in your otherwise enjoyable travels.
Cheers Guys !! Looking forward to seeing you in the next location. Happy travelling !!
Cheers ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have ridden an elephant in Sri Lanka on the beach bare back. Steel frame seats, especially the ones that hold multiple (tourists) people hurt elephants' spine. I thought the elephant that carried me enjoyed it as much as I did, 50 years ago.
At 8.06 those are jaggary, made out of sugarcane juice. Used for making saree dishes.
Sad to learn about the Scam yet it's a wonderful vlog about Royal Heritage City-Mysuru. Take Care. Enjoy😊
Thank you! You too!❤️
Did you get a chance to see/visit vrindavan garden.
That elephant trainer actually tried to take bribe. It's a crime.
Please visit Srinagar and Ladakh ❤️
Harassing and cheating these innocent wild animals looks so disgusting where people are so conscious in today's age! I think scammers target nice places like this. Where tourists have nothing special to do.
Great content! Good market tour! Sorry to see you got scammed. There are some bad apples in every country
Thanks so much ❤️
The one who handed over the Mysore Pak...it was his grandfather who invented the sweet dish. The story goes ghat his grandfather used to be the chef of the Maharaja. One day, the Maharaja asked him to cook up a new sweet for him. He used the dough that was available in storeroom, added lots of ghee and prepared this all spontaneously. Now, ig has become world famous.
What a amazing market...but what are these flowers for...(I think Nomie answered the question !! ). Great place to visit. You see the kindness of the people and their interest in you.
Yes! Really beautiful city ❤
For women to wear, for puja, for weddings.
You both missed seeing the interior of the palace, such a wonderful palace. Sorry about the elephant guy .
I complained on your behalf to karnatnatka tourism department and they are going to take action on this.
Respected Madam,
Request you to see the video from the below link from (35:00 Minutes) and Take necessary action on this issue.
Dear Ekta Rana,
Thank you so much for bringing this issue to our attention. We will assure you to take necessary action against this incident and ensure this type of incident will not happen again.
Thanks & Regards,
Samarth Koushik M V,
Engineer,
Mysore Palace Board,
Mysore.
Thank you ❤️
You guys have got an amazing deal . Definitely worth every drop .
Yes definitely 🙏
Brindavan gardens in the night lights and zoo, not to miss. Those are jaggery blocks
You can go to Sri Lanka, Thailand or Malaysia to see elephants. Not necessarily in India.
The Mysore-pak you got if i am correct is a moist version. You should try the other version that is more dryish and porous and its texture when you bite is more grainy / sandy and it melts in your mouth. 150 Rs for that much qty seems awfully cheap and perhaps oil was used in the recipe. A true Mysore pak is made in Ghee (aka clarified butter) and thats the one and you should try the dry and porous version. BTW- its not acquiration .... rather acquisition ... ein freundlicher Kommentar
Well done! You have tought the lesson to greedy individual.
8:12 It's jaggery (Jagrezucker in German)
Nice! Delicious
Please visit the mysuru zoo, brindavan gardens, karanji lake, blue lagoon island & sagarkatte
St. Philomena's church too
Superrr our karnataka is superr place people are kind and good in hospitality
Don’t Worry In This World Both Side Of Humans Are There Like Good And Bad So Take Care And Happy Journey To All , And Don’t Worry India Is Safe And Secure. ❤❤❤
Flower chians called garland in Kannada called maale
Jeez the noise in that market 🤯
Visit Hanumanthu Palav hotel don’t miss it.
Please come to Madhya Pradesh.
What happened while you were exiting the palace?
Thank god nothing happened! We were able to get home safely ♥️🙏🏻
He was just pretending to call and talk to someone... He was actually trying to scare you so that you may give him more money...always take help from locals if you are confused about anything
They ask money even if we are Indian tourists. They try to utilize our love for Elephants as an opportunity to extract money. Good u escaped. I was just there in Mysore last week. Mysore is a nice and quiet city. People in general are very nice and helpful (there might be exceptions like the person whom you met). If u are still in Mysore, don't miss Ranganatithu Birds Sanctuary and Karanji lake. I am just wondering which place you will be visiting next.
Beware of scammers in INDIA .
Do You visit Kerala
Hi come to Kerala , Don't miss that has more beautiful places
🇮🇳❤️
It is cube of Jaggery.
Love From Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Did you enter inside the palace and see the interior?
Yes it’s beautiful! ❤ not allowed to film though apparently
We need to report this guy to Palace authorities.. This was very bad.
I have come across such people in India many times. Once at Jaipur some fellas were demanding money for snapping us without our consent and ranting for money.
Unfortunate!!
That elephant experience is definitely an unpleasant experience but it's not something that stands out that it can stop people from visiting the country. Scammers will be there everywhere so just be vigilant and keep exposing the scams and that is the only way to mend them. And you are not all alone to experience such scams, we too face them a lot. Whom those people are scamming makes no difference to them and you end up offending the people supporting you by calling out on the country. So just be cautious in the words.
There is no stage in this video where we call out a country at all. We are simply saying that scammers give a county a bad name, and this can make people think twice about visiting.. we want as many people as possible to visit India and enjoy it. Instead of having to worry about things like this happening 🙏
@@TwoMadExplorers I agree thank you 🙏
@@gotislay ❤️❤️
Three Variety Of Jasmines Are Very Famous.. Mysore Jasmines, Mangaluru Jasmine & Madurai Jasmine..
you miss these places in tamilnadu Madurai, Rameshwaram, Kanyakumari, Thanjavur, you must watch
I think an explanation of why we shouldn't support riding elephants and sitting on them would help. Elephants in tourist attractions are trained to behave in a certain way for tourists and tourist love it. But, the elephants are ill-treated. They are intelligent and wonderful creatures and should not be chained to concrete and left to stand/sleep in their own urine and feces. Sitting on them and riding them breaks down their spines.
Though Mysore Pak originated from Karnataka, Mysorepak from Krishna Sweets anywhere in Tamil Nadu is delicious.
We are offer something when elephant visit on the way,like banana, sugarcane etc but not demand any by. Mahut( elephant man)
What happened towards the end of the video left a bad taste in my mouth. That mahout robbed us of the now famous super cheerful sign off of the two Explorers. Hoping that you wouldn't have to face such guys during the rest of your stay . Thanks for your videos which usually makes me so cheerful .
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@TwoMadExplorers have you any mysore pak left for the bus journey ?
@@arulcastro5013 We gave the rest to a friendly security guard at the palace ❤️❤️
@@TwoMadExplorers you have a big heart.
@@TwoMadExplorers thanks for not wasting it. It's a fav sweet for many
Thanks for exposing him 🙏😄
He will get extra money soon 💯
Next trip to madhyprdesh states come to Fort jhansi
Don't worry he take chance,what his status,never mind
at 15:00 that guy was also in video of youtuber @Davud_Akh 😄😃, Nice marketing idea he has😜😜
Nice!!
@@TwoMadExplorers 🙏🙏☺️☺️
You did not visit many places in and around Mysore...
All the tourist places this type of cheaters are available, but I request you to not entertain this type of people and without talking ignore this types of people.......
Wow .. I’m sure those guys are being paid to look after those elephants.. but instead they try to take money from tourists?!? Crazy.
when politician take bribe and scam people without anyone knowing, why cannot a low income person try to make more money by asking..
Hi U2 I went to see this Palace the only thing that happens was people really want to take pictures of me..........I did not see the elephant. U2 were so urgent to do something about this person who tried to steel money off of U.......I am glad you did not take this awful attitude.......really u2 do not deserve this................Namaste
❤️❤️❤️
We're so sorry guys for the experience you had there, I hope that elephant guy is reported to authorities! Love from Karnataka 🇮🇳💙
And don't forget to visit places like blue lagoon island, sagarkatte bridge/backwaters & the beautiful karanji lake.
200 rs is not small amount of money 😄😝
Really really very sorry for this type of bad experience and .. don't worry now I will take your vd clips and post it on the tweeter and tag the Mysore police and Mysore tourism management and register a complaint against him ..and this type of person must be punished ..and hv a happy and safe journey in future
Very unfortunate incident.. but there are many places where unscrupulous elements try to make a quick buck... This is also India, unfortunately...forget, forgive, and move on.. Enjoy Incredible India ..
This is what happened when Luke was leaving
Elephant guy's friend: Why you did not give money to my scammer friend?
Luke: Because I am an ex soldier of Irish Republican Army 🍀
Scammer shocked, Luke rocked!!
😅
😂😂😂
U shouldn't have given him even 1 rupee, anyway please leave the negative and take only positive memories. Enjoy your time in India. May god be with you always.
❤️🙏
I don't think the perfume stuff was a scam... I can be wrong but I think Mysore is famous for it's sandalwood and essential oils..
Member of Parliament need to wach this video.
I am the Indian and it hurts me as the some people in India thought the foreign people as their trap but all the Indian people are not similar to that scammer i ask sorry for that man's mistake 😢
Mysuru is also home to CFTRI, Central Food Technology Research Institute, our country’s biggest and premium research centre.
And do not read much into the elephant issue, keep enjoying your trip, these scammers are like a rotten apple in the basket and bring bad name to the country.
Particularly People Of South India From Karnataka, Tamilnadu & Kerala Use Too Much Of Flowers For Religious Functions & Marriages...
8:06 That's Jaggery made from Sugarcane juice
Sorry for the bad experience, Mysuru is one of the best and beautiful place in India and Karnataka to visit, it's because of these kind of people it gets a bad name. Forget this experience and I hope you'll have a great experience in Mysuru. KRS, brindavan gardens, sagarkatte and karanji lake are one of the best places to visit there.
Those are palace elephants. Not for tourists. The guy is wearing an uniform, he is paid to take care of the elephants. Seems like he is scamming tourists. Should have been reported. Anyway, nobody wants to get into messy situation. I hope you enjoy rest of your trip well. Keep exploring !
Cheers 🍻 ❤️🇮🇳
Maybe the guy is earning very little !
He 's just trying!
We are sorry for the experience. Not taking excuse. There are scammers everywhere. In Paris most of the people were friendly. But in local train when we were traveling one lady in burqa was trying to rob us in crowded train. She opened my wife bag and took money. But my wife found out. when we were checking local station came and she ran out of train. it was pretty bad experience.
Any one please tag this to Karnataka tourism department.
Please report to the police.
Hate to see these things happening when someone visit to a foreign country/city. It's ruins the name of all the country/city/place.
But as i watched the video & 43:00 (she said it what i wanted to say, it was kind of ur fault to go so near it).
Wanna see animals visit zoo / elephant sanctuary in Dubare near Kodagu(Coorg).
Best of luck for the next trip ... Hope u visit Coorg/Kodagu - Scotland of India
Mysore is a very beautiful and peaceful city. The whole video was fantastic, but you found that idiot in the corner. You should not give any money to them, not even 100 or 200. We want you to experience the best of India.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you 🙏🇮🇳
