The #1 Mistake Travellers to India Make
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 มิ.ย. 2019
- I continuously see travellers to India making this mistake, and it's landing some of them in big trouble, especially female tourists. I'll tell you how not to make this mistake in India while walking through the most dangerous area of India for foreigners.
Watch all my scammer and travel safety videos • India Scammers & Trave... .
Where you stay in India and which hotel you choose is incredibly important. Paharganj in New Delhi is ground zero for touts, scammers, drugs, the red light area, and human trafficking in India.
Yet many visitors to India continue to stay there, probably because most of the hotels in Delhi are in this location. The same goes for Colaba in Mumbai. I'll show you where to stay you can stay safe while in India and avoid all the bad things that are attracted to these touristy areas.

I wish every country had “a Karl”, to guide tourists through TH-cam videos.

I love Karl, he shows the bad said and good side of India and he generally shows the best way to enjoy it.
Your like Justin
Goldmine Telefilms dude stfu, in india there are alot more serious problems than the west
Badshah e Delhi sultanat there is no such thing as “more problems” . Everyone has their own set of problems.
Ross Piyan watch his 3rd latest video , where he says he gets trolled through foreign comments on his videos . If he really was minimising the bad side, he wouldnt get comments on videos calling indians as scammers , street shitters , rapists , sexists or whatever they like saying. I disagree with that part.
Both sides are important.
Hum Indians me achhe log Jada hai bure logo se.
I stayed in paharganj, my phone was snatched from a scooter driver, fortunately they dropped it on the floor and I ran and got it back..
They had one job...
The phone was broken may be 😂

It's the same mistake that travellers to _any_ country make. They don't do their share of research before travelling to another country. Always search for opinions on the best places to travel and stay and the do's and dont's in another country. You need to be well prepared.
oh hi hana🤗
Exactly. agree with you Hana!

@Super G please dude I'm a Pakistani but don't spread hate I have some Indian friends they aren't bad people at all they are very nice
@Super G You should take up the immigration concerns with the Australian government then. Commenting racist shit on a TH-cam video about India ain't gonna solve your "problems".
@@Sujay95 haha so true.
@Super G they dont shower
*Thank you Karl for this very helpful advice. Jai Hind!*
Jai hind
@Ross Piyan hindi is indian
@x x Hindi is not Indian. Its the dominant language in India widely spoken in the "Hindi belt" region of central india.
I'm from South India. we do not speak hindi. India is a country of multiple nations. but recently ruling party BJP is looting our money from south India to develop the north Indian Hindi belt. People in the Hindi belt also has the highest birth rate in India. the way things are going it reminds me of Yugoslavia ! 🤬🤬😡 Tyranism of the majority is not sustainable !!
@@baphometpresidente4637 a very little knowledge of what you are speaking! I guess you read local whatsapp forwards! BJP focused on developing IT SECTOR in karnataka! Atal tinkering labs are mostly made in South! Defence corridor in Kerala! ISRO got new projects by BJP which is in South!
@Ross Piyan How ignorant and stupid you are.Hind stands for for India moron,they are not praising the hindi language.
I’ve actually never had an interest in going to India but I still watch your videos because the content is so interesting. I really feel like these videos are a public service and I commend your bravery in presenting the good and the bad. (Also, how do you vlog in public with everyone staring at you 😩😅)
Thank you 🙏🏻 I'm glad you enjoy India through my lense 😊 I'm used to be stared at haha
Actually this guy has got the responsibility to expose india..not to come india.😅😂
if you hate the heat you can go to north india. But do your research because i have never been there myself and heard its not exactly safe because of "terrorists". Not sure if its true or not. but the place is very beautiful and clean and it has snowww (that i love and have never seen in my life)
I traveled alone to India and I stayed in Paharganj many times. I didn't have any problems there and I found that place really interesting to explore. Hotels were very nice there, food also tasty. But I'm from Russia and some russian small cities are more scary and dirty with mafia, gopniks and drugs.
Going to India for the first time this summer. Your videos are always very helpful, thank you Karl!
Thank you Karl for doing these videos and warning people and keeping them safe your doing a great job we all love you Karl.
Thank you Karl. You’re doing such great service for not only travellers to India, but India itself. All the best for your work.
Nailed it Karl. I never understood foreigner's obsession with Paharganj, its out there as the worst place in Delhi!!
As an Indian I really am obliged to thank you Karl for the incredible work you are doing... And to say it straight forward... What you are doing is certainly "real service" to our country ...
Thanks a lot
Lots of love
I enjoy watching your videos and vlogs of India so much! Keep up your great work!
Karl your video make me happy and I love watching them keep up the good work we all will support u
As a Kiwi in their late 40s travelling to India for the first time in 2020, your videos have been so useful to help me be prepared. Your book is great too. Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant channel Karl. I have only been to India once and that was last year. I do wished I had found you before that trip. It wasn't all bad, but I properly spent way more on things than I should have. Live and learn for the next trip back. Thank you kiwi from another kiwi in Brisbane. Keep up the fantastic work.
Karl Rock : paharganj is dangerous to stay!
Bald and bankrupt : I always stay in paharganj it is safe. 🤯
If you are aware of the touts and scammers, everything else is pretty much safe.
South Delhi is much better (read safer from scammer) but will probably cost you a lot more.
Because he's bald and bankrupt. 😅
Aur bhaisaab
@@stonks6291 No bro, its former logo of Linkin Park
I've stayed in Paharganj too & it was cool!
Thanks so much for these videos, just know it’s appreciated. I really wanna go to India but watching your videos has taught be I need to be careful as a female there especially. I will definitely get your India survival guide before I take the journey there!
Karl you deserve so much more attention, stay safe all love man
This video was so helpful I’m going to be travelling to India soon from Australia, and this was very helpful thank you Karl 😊
@Karl Rock - Being watching your videos for a couple of months now. Was planning a trip to India before Coronavirus hit. Your videos helped me plan some aspects of my trip. Appreciate you and your videos. Keep up the good work. Will share my experience once I finally make the trip, after the travel world opens up again.
Paharganj is the ghetto of Delhi. The worst area.
India is beautiful. Thank you for the upload. Cant wait to explore all the different sights and food
♥
I love your videos💜💜💜💜
Just once come to srinagar
true thanks for bringing it out ! always wonder why they did it
Well bhai I think u are the best when it comes to expose scammers😎😎😎😎
Thank you for letting us know! You saved me from some bad decisions
I would love to see a video of you visting bad and good hotels
Oberoi Hotels Are One Of The Good Hotels In India ,I Stayed There And The Service Was Good
Karl, you are spot on. I also stayed in Paharganj and my decision was based on how close it was to the train station and I think Lonely Planet made note of the area. Good thing was that it was towards the end of my trip around India and had already had some good experience under my belt after being there for a month. Everything went fine for me but I could see why you want folks to avoid the area and fully support your recommendation. Keep up the great work!
Currently in India, starting my third week here. My first days I spent them in Paharganj. I see Karl's point. After two weeks, I got an expert in spotting scammers, "fake friends" (sellers) and dodgy people.
Am I the only one noticing the 150% off signs at the shops
I’m a huge fan of your work bro keep safe
I've watch this channel since 3 months ago. Now, I'm living in Mumbai almost for 3 weeks and know everything like Indian. Thank you Karl 🙂
Great information once again thanks Karl
I needed This planing to Go To India 🇮🇳 In November
WoW !
Dont go. Good advice
Welcome... please come to a decent hotel... not some junk yard near a sex district... and enjoy India without paying heed to racist zealots
Nice
I do like that airbnb suggestion, cheers Karl.
I´ve had a great experience in Airbnb in Delhi. Been 3 times there
Thanks for this very informative video :-)
Love these videos! ❤ Feels like I'm there!
Your advice is so spot on. We did the golden triangle last summer and made mistakes in our travel. Although we kind of did the opposite to your video - we stayed mostly 5 star and felt sooo cut off from real India and soo secluded. We felt safe and proveledged, yes, but we really felt like we lacked the cultural experiences and didn't have much opportunity to wander out and immerse ourselves without our hired tour guides. Next time we need to find the middle ground.
If you want a middle ground, stay in an air bnb or a homestay. Dont go for cheap ones obviously.
Great point! I never understood why foreigners stay in the armpits of India like Paharganj when there are much better options that are clean, safe and more authentic. Then I looked at all the tour guides. Many are written for the extreme budget travelers by writers on a budget. Karl, maybe time for you to do contribute to some of the major guidebooks??
There's a few good places in Pajarganj..it's not all that bad ! Close by to a lot of areas also..great video!
He is visiting Jammu also guys
And he will serve rohfaza to peoples
😍 bro I will ur new subscriber .......
Keep growing bro

I am a girl and my biggest purpose in life is to travel the world...... and starting with your own country is amazing idea......and your videos are my super helpfull guide and soon going to buy a boook of yours.....thanks brother for everything u for.....so much love for mannu di😘😘
I have friends from europe who travel to India and only end up in places like paharganj, one friend didn’t even venture out of pahar ganj thinking that “that was it, that’s the full Indian experience, the India the world portrays”. If you’re coming all the way to India and want to play it cheap then you are bound to face countless scams and trouble for you are choosing to stay in a cheap place; it’s basically the same for any other country...pay less, get crappy hotels, food, etc.
I live in Chennai, India.. Planning to move to Delhi for higher education.. Was wondering how I was gonna handle the transition.. Your videos have really helped a lot.. Thanks a lot karl..!
You are doing good job Karl keep it up. Now a days I have heared Ola and Uber also scam foreigner
As an Indian ,I have already been scammed by a Uber driver
@@ElonHusky in India everyone is a scammer.
@@ElonHusky you only describing here your indian culture. Keep dreaming about you going to be world super power by over night, when you can't afford even a toilet.
@@ElonHusky bro This thing happened with me 2times but I know how to kick them . They scam to uneducated people's by charging high price
@@itsme4355 don't bee a fool I thing you are also from the scamming group
No place in safe in Delhi. South Delhi is comparatively better but yes, Airbnb is what one should look for while in South Delhi.
Can you please make a video warning for black henna artist on the street and events? I am a belgian girl that learned the art of mehndi by myself and I wish foreigners knew about the dangers of PPD in chemical mehndi cones
Thanks Carl I am Indian even I hate these scammer coz they are making bad image of India so please expose them as much as possible .so u can protect innocent tourists
Such an insightful video. Thanks.🙂
I love your vids
yo is 1:30 I gotta go to summer school tmrw lol and I’m watching yo vid
You are doing government's work
Exactly!
Great Video. I watched it my from Auckland New Zealand, my new friend . Keep in touch ....👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 Its great to see some from NZ has settled in India (You) and someone from India has settled in New Zealand (me).
Great job 😀💯❤
Exactly to the point
Awesome! I like your new "mistakes/tipps" segment for travelling in India. Keep it up!
Thanks bro
I watch all your videos, so nice. Keep exploring and making videos. Visit Madhya Pradesh if possible.
Love you Karl , we Indians too avoid travelling to Delhi due to pollution , until it's absolutely. needed .
Suggest you to visit Himalayan cities , to enjoy the true essence of India .
finally someone said it, I always saw people saying how dirty room is, how small room is I mean what do you expect when you pay Rs. 500 a night ?? You can spend more to get muchhhh better accommodation but no everyone wants "Indian" feel in their stay, Just get a better hotel guys or at least ask someone online no one is going to recommend you a bad place IMO.
Great job KR.
Are you gonna make a video on Cricket in India world cup is going on and india is favourites😍😉
I’ve stayed here a few times, one reason is its proximity to train station, it’s not great but you just gotta keep your poker face on and don’t get pulled into anything
Yyooo Karl I was jus surfing through TH-cam n I saw ur poop man video n I was stunned n m an indian n I myself wasn't aware of all the stuff.....I appreciate your efforts bro ...n u look like PewDiePie
I feel like some people actually don't do a fair amount of research before coming to a foreign country. Then they're like "I had to suffer so much" .
This should be on every blog or article related to travelling in India... I have lived in hotels in Paharganj.. and I have also lived in a beautiful AirBnB apartment in Delhi... and the difference is so stark & amazing. India is certainly a land of many contrasts.. and it's upto us to navigate that deftly.
I will travel to India the first time in my life this weekend. I am excited and scared at the same time but I still look forward to it.
Hey Karl love your vlogs, come to Cochin, Kerala
The way all of the people are staring at you is funxD
Great information.
Hats off Karl, you are doing what even Indians are also afraid to do by exposing all the frauds and scammers, you should be a minister 📌 Such a brave man, Jai Hind and PKMB.
PkMB 🤣 🫡
You're awesome Karl! I would love to visit India 🇮🇳 I would come there if YOU would be my personal travel guide! My husband and I would pay you to help us navigate the "good" places and to not get scammed!
Keep up the great work, I love your videos!!!!
You are awesome Karl, why don't u make a video about Indian immigration department procedures.
I've stayed in Paharganj four times for maybe three weeks altogether and I loved it. It is really fascinating and so alive with all sorts of people from all over the world. I never saw anyone shooting up and maybe I'm just oblivious but I didn't see any prostitution. I always stay in the same hotel which was highly recommended by the standard guide book. The owners there were very helpful and honest. A couple of weeks in Paharganj will be an education in how to deal with touts and scammers. You can't avoid them in India so learning how to interact with them is important. You could stay in expensive hotels elsewhere and not learn much except how to spend money.
Maybe you didnt explore enough then, GB road is the literal hub of prostitution in Delhi.
Well, I did stay in Paharganj once, partly out of curiosity and partly to be near the Railway Station (that's another great place for scammers). I had no trouble in Paharganj. Maybe being male and older helped? Also, not stopping to look at shops? Connaught Place is also a great place to meet scammers, though more up-market ones.
So I will paharganj :) anyway Karl recommended the south of delhi, I wish he was more specific. Do U happen to know district names, where to stay? Is Civil Lines a good area?
@@sirenity8839 Civil Lines is not south delhi right?
Hello... I'm from Mizoram... I love your videos #love
I am an Indian and I find your videos helpful
You are not only helping foreigner but us indian too I have never been to delhi...
Very informative karl and tidays india nz match Wil u watch it 😀
Karl,you should go to Rajpur ,Dehradun,you will love it
Keep the good work up
Thanks for helping me when i got done watching your vid my mom was just going to give money to a Indian scammer and told i her stop and showed her your vid and she donated it to a charity
Wow the camera quality on this video in particular is crazy
right, pewds camera is usually on 144p
Great topic to cover Karl
Should be longer
It was the main place to stay because the railway was right next to it, nowadays it's so easy to fly around India, I now often stay out near the airport, but I have stayed dozens of times in Pahar Ganj. I've stayed in other parts of Delhi too, but this is just so handy getting the train onwards to wherever in India.
this really needs more views ngl
Hey Karl!!! Love ur channel
I usually stay there my first night if the 2nd-day train leaves from NDLS. If I'm lucky enough to be heading towards a destination with a NZM train departure, I stay in Jangpura/LN :)
if i ever get to come to India, the one place I WANT to stay at is in Mayapur on the ISKCON premises. Id love to see Karl do a video about ISKCON over in Mayapur. it would be amazing i bet. but, then again, i have a unique history with ISKCON, so for me, it would be awesome but not sure if others would enjoy the video or not
I’m staying Laxmi Nagar right now. It looks pretty terrible but it doesn’t see too many tourists and I haven’t experienced any touts or scammers here so far.
Cool video my friend.
Great info

Great video mate. Can someone tell me ... Touts and scammers yes I understand, but walking old Delhi with a camera are you likely to be robbed?
Thanks, first time visitor.
I'm keen on street and portrait photography
Pickpocket is much likely than being robbed, especially in crowded and poor areas like old delhi
U absolutely right , i got problem there with unaducated guy in such hotel.. It was my first time in India and more over alon
I decided for my first time in India was not to take any chances looking for a hotel upon arrival especially if they are near any slum areas and so I pre-booked into "The Emerald Hotel" in Mumbai for my stay in Feb next year. (Hopefully it's a nice Hotel)
It is nice seeing both sides of a story.
Good advice
Main reason is lots of tourists travel on budget; which means they go for cheap accommodation. And as you said, you get what you pay.
So imagine going to India, or a country that is comparable to India, and decide to stay in a cheap accommodation. Obviously, most likely, you will end up being harassed or get scammed.
Accommodation is a place where you should feel safe and comfortable. If one thinks that they only stay in a hotel to sleep ,thus, do not want to pay extra for a better accommodation, is madness.
I like how everyone looks back at the camera when he walks past them
Also come 👉 Chhattisgarh👈
And i will show the 👆BSP
And also you see the
