*Have you ever taken an Indian train? Do you have any tips to add?* 🇮🇳
(or if you've never taken a train in India, would you give one a try?) 👀
I had taken a train but in Mexico years ago!!
That's nice Ruth, where did you go?
Not yet, but you’re pretty much on my dream trip. Try some street food in India! I hear Mumbai has the best Pav bhaji in all of India.
@@TheNewTravel We travel from Mexico City to San Luis Potosí it was fun we had fun!!
not sure in India...but I'll would love to travel by train in Canada from Vancouver to Montreal 🚈
Impressed, that railway station could be anywhere in the world, looking well organised!!
it was a nice station!
Things are changing..
@@lifeisbeautiful104 that is wonderful!!
@@aayushnarayanofficial that's even better to know. The railways here in South Africa are proving to be a great challenge to manage, with lots of corruption and so on 😰
Come to India u will get to know how "organised" they r. 😅😅😅
Like your attention to detail and the manner by which, in your quiet way, you expose the untruth of some of the negative stereotypes of India and Indian train travel.
Thanks foufou
A bit of misinformation, every train has AC and non AC compartments, not just a few. They also have non AC compartments. Indian trains are made for every class, rich or poor to dirt poor people. The difference is in the services offered. So every train has AC reserved compartments, non AC reserved compartments and non AC unreserved compartments. So for the same journey, a 1-A compartment might cost upto 10,000 (more than 100 dollars) rupees while non AC unreserved might cost barely 100 rupees (barely a dollar).
correct
As an NRI who lived in India for 5 years before I left to the states, I have traveled in all classes 1 AC to general
Good to know. Tnx
Vast train system in India... I appreciate the info Dan, thanks.
Yaa,there is eo vast train web!!!☺️💥
@ Hans Lueschen I am Dipanjan, I am from India, Listen my Kind & True suggestion, Indian Railways are the Worst & Worstest, If you ever Come to India for Travel, It would be my kind suggestion dear friend, my dear brother, Go for Domestic Flights, & Avoid Indian Trains, Travelling in Indian Trains can left you with a Life-Time Trauma & Nightmare, But if you wanna Travel in India by Trains, Travel the Leastest by Indian Train & with Less Valuables, Not every Foreigners Experiences are Good & Same, Many have Bad Experiences & Worstest Experiences of Life & many of them are not youtubers, so their Horrific Story we can never know, I am a True Indian & a Patriot, I Love my own Country more than Myself, Foreigners in India are our Guests & I want to see them Depart from India with Good & the Best Experiences of India, so I considered it as my crucial duty to give you this suggestion, Thank You. & Welcome to India my bro...
@@dipanjankumarsarkar5496 stfu railways is the best
@@prateeksharma729 Flights are the Best
@@dipanjankumarsarkar5496 well dipanjan. Take it from someone who has travelled in 32 countries and in train in almost all these countries if they have one.and yes I have travelled in high speed train in Germany and France as well. Indian trains are not very bad and infact very comfortable. German French high speed trains get very uncomfortable if you have to travel more than 2-3 hours because they are only sitter. And like chair cars , luggage space is only overhead or end of cabin. Imagine lifting heavy suitcases above your head so that luggage is out of path. Indian railways Infact now they are very clean than earlier. It's easy to store luggage below seat and you can sleep even at day time at upper berths. It's easy to see glamour outside and diss indian railway. but I used German ICE every year. That 1 hr ride is just little less uncomfortable that getting stuck in plane.
I'm loving the India series. I never had the opportunity to travel via train while I was in India. In 2005, I was stuck in Mumbai for 4 or 5 days, due to flooding, and considered taking a train out to get out of the city, because my flights kept getting cancelled (avoid Mumbai during the monsoon season). But even the trains were not running due to the flood.
2005 mumbai monsoon is considered as disaster,Never any city has received that amount of rain in short time
Last 15 years india changed a lot.many things you know about India those days now a history.3 years ago my visit to new dijhi,jaipur,made me surprise and happy.now indians realised how false teaching of socialism made India bankrupt.new india believe and practice capitalism.results are everywhere visible.
India is on my bucket list. Someday soon I hope!
U r welcome my friend !
For taxi:- ola/Uber
For sim:- jio(preferable)/airtel
For rooms hotels:- oyo/gobibo
For tickets:- make my trip, redbus etc.
Also research before coming.
Best time to visit india is October-March.
You can visit desert,plains, mountains,snowy areas etc.
Just research and also watch some famous vloggers video to do your homework.
Just to clarify Vishal's comment : In summer ( March-June ) it will be too hot to bear for cold country people ( temperature can reach up to 45-50 degree cel. ) But you can travel in AC buses anyways and your purchasing power increases drastically in India because of unfair currency conversion rate.
@ Very Gerry Keep Kerala, Goa, Rajasthan, Punjab, Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Delhi, Kolkata, Sikkim & North-East India on your list, Buy a Bike in India or a Maruti Van or Tata Sumo in India with A/C & Explore the whole country, In case of those Cars you have the Advantage, you can Sleep in the Car at Night in A/C & can Travel & Explore during the Entire Day, & in Car if you are an Animal Lover like me, you can keep your Pets Safely inside, & my bro, Welcome to India ♥️♥️♥️⚘⚘⚘⚘🥰🥰🥰🥰

thank you to aware our foreign friends .....

#atithidevobhava
Hi veteran. Which train station is nearest with taj mahal? I wanna know, is that agra cantt or agra fort?
you should go to himalayan states like himachal pradesh, sikkim, uttarakhand for great landscacpes and nature . also lot less heat as plains in india would too hot to travel from april onwards .

If you like to see a world by visiting one country,go to india.india is not a country,it is a world in one country.what you have seen in the world you can see there and much more new too.
That was a Raja Ki Mandi Station(Agra) Famous for the ancient temple (
Chamunda mata Temple)on this station, the time you arrived you can hear the holi sound of prayer(Aarti).
This is a charm of our country you just missed that moment.
Better luck next time for the next arrival 👍
Thank you for the video. I’m flying to Delhi this Thursday and going to Agra straight on Friday. Feeling more prepared now 😊
Love you from Thailand
Thanks Blue! :)
Almost all train have AC option in it
Another winner, Dan! Looked like a pretty nice train. Better than most I've seen in other pictures!
Thanks Leland! Yup, the train ride had everything I needed
The letters Aa in Agra and Taj (it means crown) all have the same vowel sound (as in "Ah-ha!"). The word Mahal is pronounced closer to the words "Meh" and "hell" and means castle. :)
Chai tea would be saying tea tea, because chai means tea. :)
Found you again
great tips Dan! good to know for when I come there!
I like all your videos ,love youuu!
Thanks Maria!
Overnight trains are the best way to travel India from one city to the next. It's always fun, you get to see more of the country, you can use the station stops to get tea, and there's always snacks bring sold. What's not to like?
My advice is to always get top bunk if you can. That way you can go to sleep anytime you like and you're less exposed to theft and other negative experiences (I always took my valuables up with me in my daypack and left the rest under the bottom bunk in my large backpack).
Lovely video. Great job. Learned a lot. Thank you.
Happy journey! Hope you have more memorable moments in India!
Thanks Kapil
You are good and honest man 👍. I have started loving your videos.
Have a visit on hill trains of India nearest from Delhi being Kalka to Shimla ..British era trains with amazing landscape
Thank you for the video.
thank u. u gave me idea!
almost all trains have ac coaches, soon they will have more high speed trains like vande bharat. Ticket booking is really easy , all you need is an irctc or make my trip app, or you can even use its website. You can also check the train information online, like the platform number and the coach position at the platform. I have never booked a window ticket in last 15 yrs. Hopefully it helps in the future.
1AC, first class, has 4 person compartments and a few two person coupes. A wall and a door separates the compartment from the aisle.
2ac is second class. A curtain separates the compartment from the aisle. 3ac is third class.
I always book 1AC for overnight trips and 2ac for day trips.
Definitely bring your own toilet paper
Each car has two types of toilets, a European/American style toilet and an Indian style squat toilet.
As a senior I got crazy good discounts on fares and have done thousands of miles on India Rail. I absolutely love it
That train goes from my home town hehehe....mahakaushal express.....it reach Kosi Kalan at 5:30 pm ist approx
nice, awesome
keep sharing them good job
Tq
Just get an IRCTC account. I just got back from traveling in India for a few months and I used my account to book most of my tickets, I had no problems paying with an American credit card. The online platform is really temperamental and poorly designed but it works if you're patient, you can even choose your berth preference (side upper is best if traveling by yourself). You can even book narrow gauge trains online like the Kalka-Simla train. My biggest complaint about the online system is that you can only make 6 bookings per calendar month. You don't have to go to the station, fight the queue, or fill out a reservation form.
Exceptional online video I really appreciate it.
Love from Querétaro
Love u from India(Uttrakhand)🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Not a few trains sir,but maximum trains have reserved ac compartments,,alongwith non ac ones,,,take that which is comfortable to you...
Go to International beaureu in new delhi railway station first floor on first floor ..very easy pay cash and dome same day any big trains
BTW .. why don't you use IRCTC website for booking?
Lots of love from Agra
Interesting vlog.😊
Do you have to have a passport to get on the train? Or any drivers license will work. As a foreigner
Try visiting South India for more wonderful experiences and memories. Incredible India ❤️
How long are you going to be in India?
Thank you man
Welcome
you can book tickets on the IRTC site 90 days in advance.
I like all your videos that you uploaded on You Tube, keep it up, and I can learn English on your videos, so nice American accent.
He's Canadian, he has a Canadian accent. Good day!
@Heat Ray being multilingual helps. I made account sales to most of the 50 states and Canada for many years. Obviously the accent from New England is so different than that of the South. Along the way, one begins to notice patterns of words and expressions that give you a clue of where you are calling. Whether you are in the U.S., Mexico, Latin America, Europe one will learn similarities and differences if you listen.
@Heat Ray although I speak no Asian languages, if I listen in on a conversation I can differentiate whether they are speaking Korean, Japanese, Chinese or Vietnamese. I'm sure many other people have this ability. If you speak Spanish I'm sure you can tell the differences between the Spanish spoken Mexico, Central America, and South America. Good day!
@Heat Ray very good! There's a lot of people out there that can't tell the difference. I can tell the difference between the accent in Liverpool and London thanks to the Beatles. Hahaha.
I took the same train from Bangalore to Hampi 😃 12 hours but without AC, it was totally fine though because i was traveling in December. I did take my own sheet and sleeping cocoon though, i would recommend to anyone. Try not to drink water though so you don‘t have to use the toilet 😂 FYI my Indian friend booked 2 sleeper beds non AC, cost was 400 rupees per Person. Try to get the ones opposite of this shown video, i preferred those.
You have to travel in gatiman express from h. Nizamuddina to Agra fastest train of India..
That pouch is not or your mobile - it is for your water bottle to avoid water from spilling . But it works nevertheless
5 yrs ago u would have told yaakkk station. That's the change
YES, it's impossible to book the tkt as a foreigner. They demand in Indian phone nbr, and you "can't " get that when abroad. Therefore does expect to be able to book that from home prior to your trip. It can be a hassle especially if you want to travel during peak seasons such as during Indian holidays. Encourage everyone to try the trains there, as it is an experience. Allow yourself plenty of time to find the right platform and train as it can be quite a challenge. And yes, do ask locals for assistance as suggested in the video 👌
how early should we get to the train station before the train time?
I’m actually taking this train next week! How safe was your luggage while on the train? Does it stay with you?
I kept it under the seat I was sitting on. It was safe there the whole time
My local barista told me that her bag stolen while she was sleeping, so I was a little bit concerned (she recommended a bike lock!) Lol, thanks for the tip!
I definitely kept my backpack (with my camera + laptop) very close on this train ride, and other trains and buses I've taken. My small suitcase (mostly clothes) I don't mind keeping underneath where I am. But if you're going to be sleeping might be a good idea to keep both very close. Good luck, and enjoy the ride!
u can prefer private room for u if you want complete privacy...
@@candicewoods if you travel in AC compartments.. You can rest assured.. No extra unreserved people are allowed in there... The barista was talking about sleeper class... Which is really really cheap as compared to AC coaches....
How long was the trip.
That ancient Windows tada sound they use for announcements at Indian railway stations is awful.
Bro love from Bengaluru, India
Always go for premium trains like Rajdhani express , Shatabdi express, Tejas, Vande Bharat express , Gatimaan these trains are little expensive then other but safe
And you will have best experience of Indian railway in these trains
shroud lite version?
Mr. Dan, how about a trip to Italy! Then come back to Mexico ( North America) once in a while.
Just for the pizza, okay!
Ok, but Italy has the most UNESCO sites in the world. Would be very interesting to see. I'm sure many people in Mexico would like to see. Remember, we that speak Spanish can somewhat relate to the countries and peoples whose language belongs the "Romance" languages (Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian).
Nice Vlog ❤️
Thanks :)
Which hostel did you stay in Delhi?
Damn I haven't travelled on train in so long. I've forgotten what platforms looks like 😂
Great .. also I m from India In surat city
Nice!
You can also say world's fastest growing city bcz Surat ranked 1 in world.
@@Saurabh-255 yes bcoz main PM modi
:D, that guy behind
I wish I was there with you. :)
Not difficult to book a train ticket in India u just need a payment mode..
Wow what jabalpur... Thats nice
Book it online. They accept international cards. No need to pay 150 bucks to an agent. For the shorter distances prefer buses or sitting trains. They are much cheaper than sleeping classes.
U have good day
See you next time
Keep doing what you love Dan, I love your'e vídeos to, the way you see and say things make you and your'e channel unique 💖
India is a whole different country, you might get confused. Once a friend from UK came to India and got confused with the train numbers and platform, at last he got on the train right before it leaves.
Friend ruppyies means nothin for whities. how about dollar
One US Dollar or $1 is Rs. 72 in Indian Currency
This is delhi station ? damn times have changed. I havnt traveled in trains since 2011 ever since airline boom in our country but dang, modi has done a good work
There was a time when Indians used to think the US was cool to have air travel within the country.
@@browchump8764 there was a time even i used to think air travel is a luxury, today i bitch about air india, spicejet for shitty food. Times changed
All Indian trains do have AC coaches u just gotta get the ticket for that
He just Said Irctc Tea 'Delicious '...Bro I travel in Our train 5 times in Month , our trains are good but Tea is worst of all , its an honest opinion dont take otherwise :)
Kisi kisi jagah achhi tea mil jaati hai train pe specially kuladh me Jo bechate hai nahi to wo Jo dipp wale hote hai wo to kharab hi hote hai aur specially laddo at acharya narendradeo station near Lucknow they are good ,😊
HEY PLEASE GO MUMBAI NOIDA ITS DUBAI OF INDIA ❤❤
There is a foreigner quota. You can get it at the office.
Love from India🇮🇳💓
Edit:-I take "feels" to hear this background voice...."Rhymin shokhle,train no.64757 is on plateform no.3"😂😂☺️
Brave
Good you took the 'good day' biscuit otherwise the whole journey would have been boring.
1:35 😂😂
For Make Railway Ticket in India u said 150 was a Fair Price not as a Indian just maximum 20 Rs not more than that ,,,,

Do visit assam
For booking rail tickets, go to irctc.co.in
Dan !! You are one gutsy dude !!! I’m not sure I could tackle this kind of project...alone !! But I do want to visit India !!!
How nice of you to add a snarky, unnecessary comment. I’m glad we’re not acquainted.
@@briangranquist9841 u were being snarky. Suggesting taking a train is a very difficult thing to do.
@Li saaa Bhai aisa mat bolo, kyuki bhale hii kharab baat Kar rahe ho, lekin wo ek din Bharat mai aayega Bola hai. Hume ek ek insaan(videshi) ko Seagate karna Chahiye kyuki isse humure hii luuf Hoga:-)
@@briangranquist9841 You are most welcome🙏
After being in an overcrowded compartment, where others took scant notice of reservations, I would advise all who are contemplating this misadventure to stay away.

It would be fun, if you had asked Padma about Appu... 😂
Have a good trip dan, nari's in Korea?
Thanks sumaya, yup she's in Korea
@@TheNewTravel i wish the better , i'm sorry i'm not speak English , and only understand a bit
But i like it, best wishes for nary and You.
dan: there are three AC classes in the train
8:18 : (the coach behind him): am i a joke to you?
damn this guy told everything except the name of the train he took
Basically these travel blogs on India have 2 category
1)Good blog, which will show you developed side and under develop sides.
2)funny blog, this blogs have many things in common like first they will choose to go to cheap hotel, will eat from anywhere
(even we see before where we are eating), our food have many many types of Spices which foreign countries don't have, so basically they can't tolerate it at first as they had ate it, also I don't know why but they think only Indians scam other ,they think if you go to another you will never get scam there, everybody around the world scam(not everybody many are also good), then also I don't know why but these bloggers have especial love slums, no seriously WTH.
It Depends on the thinking..
If you are a real tourist or traveller who just just wanna dive in and soak Everything then you are obviously Awesome
But
Some ppl have something like...idk how to describe it but they see what they want to see or believe , then very shamelessly , they show it to the whole world without having a thought of others.. they just want to disrespect .. thats it , that's the only thing they have in mind. It doesn't matter where they are or what they're seeing. Yes India have slums , so ? Is it a bad thing? Some poor people living together and living the life on their own is a bad thing huh, poverty is present in almost Every Country, Even the US has so Many homeless people and nobody has the balls to talk or go there in those areas.. but India, is an Easy Target for people like these.
What a brainy question.
Asking an Indian if she rides Indian train.
You must be one of those special people.
Never get the AC or first class or second class if you're traveling in a normal train across India. It's freezing, day and night because they blast the AC on high, non stop, and it's hot outside..so you'll get a cold. Not to mention that because the little compartments in first and second class are closed off..if they fill up, they're way to cramped. Always take non AC sleeper. The people are real people and super friendly, it's open and breezey, and a much more fun atmosphere, unlike the people in 1st and 2nd class....who're full of themselves because they have a little money, and more interested in their laptops and tablets..than in talking to you and sharing food and stuff. This guy is also clueless, so he ended up paying way more for his ticket then he had to. Just go to the tourist office at any train station the day before, and get the tourist quota tickets for any compartment.
Who the hell was that security person? Many youtubers seamlessly shoot in station premises and they seem not to give a damn!
Ye log vid banate h apne log ke liye par dekhte h mostly Indians 😁
You're a brave man 😎👍
Cheers Jose!
Dear God, please stop calling it Chai Tea. Either call it chai or tea. Nice video Though.
