A Taste Of India: Ep1 - Backpacking from Delhi to Udaipur
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2016
- Watch my first trip to India in this travel documentary, as I spent 6 weeks backpacking around the country.
I spent 3 weeks backpacking through the cities of the north and then another 3 weeks in the beaches and backwaters of the south.
Episode 1 is the northern half of my journey. Starting in Delhi, I travel to Varanasi, one of the world’s oldest cities and gets to row on the sacred Ganges river.
After a trip to the Taj Mahal in Agra I travel by train to Jaipur exploring the various forts, temples and colourful streets of The Pink City.
In Jaisalmer I go on a 2 day camel safari through the Rajasthan desert and then in Jodhpur I do a different kind of fort tour - the Flying Fox zipline. This leg of the trip finishes in the beautiful city of Udaipur.
Check out Episode 2 - Goa to Kerala:

Some of the many, many reasons that i love India and find it such a good fit for me are:
1. Im a vegetarian and there is such fantastic Veg food available everywhere.
2. I rise very early every morning to do 1 hour of Vipassana Meditation. This fits perfectly with the morning call to prayer in India, so no alarms are needed!
3. There are so many friendly stray dogs everywhere who love attention and being loved on.
4. Everyone seems to love photography as much as I do. There is never a shortage of people wanting to have their photo taken, or being willing to let me photograph them.
5. I love the mountains, rivers, snow capped peaks, jungles, oceans, beaches, deserts, tropical forests, huge cities and small villages!
7. Even though the traffic is sometimes hectic, there are so MANY ways to get around easily, no matter where it is I want to go.
8.Markets Markets Markets everywhere. There is always a huge section of food available at all times of the day and night.
9. CHAI
10. And the #1 reason that i LOVE India are the PEOPLE!
Every guest is God.
Lots of love
Man i want to go there too. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
The culture, the land, and yes, most of all, the people. Beautiful people
My favorite country in the entire World.
🙏🙏🙏
I was already looking for India but after this I'm fall in love with this country!!! Great video as always
Karl Watson: Travel Documentaries First things first, I am from India and I do love your work and that's why HK2NY is in my favourite playlist. But I am in shock when you decided to put on a wrong graphical map of India!!! You simply butchered the state of Jammu and Kashmir! Please look to it ASAP as it is illegal to depict the wrong map of our beloved country by The Supreme Court of India. Whatever part you decided to include into Pakistan is not the international border as per the United Nations but an imaginary line called the 'LINE OF CONTROL'. I hope you'll correct the same ASAP and avoid a lawsuit. Thanks, An Average Indian.
A Born Cynic A lawsuit? Are you out of your mind? The disputed territories brings up multiple maps based on what country you're from. Outside of India, Pakistan and China and maybe a few regional countries, this is the map of India to most outside nations. So don't get butthurt and threaten lawsuits, you ignoramus.
I have watched this and part 2 like 100 times at least. I cant get enough of India.
thanks :)
You need to come! 😁
@@karlwatsondocs 2 years later! I'm still watching this multiple times a month! Im obsessed lol
@@lenniedavis1294 haha nice :)
I want to travel India someday,great country with great civilization.
殺殺日本人等于壞蛋 sure ur welcome!
Miaoxin Lee thanks i would love to travel to China and korea
Rohina well India has about 4 times the populstion...so it makes sense
sourcheesepringles why did you have to bring this up?? Hate mongerers.
Sheldon wow.. you really hate these Pakistani's that much.. you my friend are my friend now.. love from India..
Hello Karl. I been in India in March and it was spectacular, best country I visited so far. I really love your travel videos, it is so inspiring. Looking forward for your next adventures. Cheers.
Leonardo Davide where did u travel in india?
You didn't mind the filth?
@@dhitikabarua1779
I think visited Northeast India or South India
Because North India is very polluted
Still amazes me that your vids don't have more views. Your videos are always absolute quality.
India is such a wonderful and amazing land !!!! I visited it this year and....WOW ! I loved it 🇮🇳🙏
Thanks 😍
I have been to India 9 times and just keep going back every year. It gets under your skin and you just want more!!!! I really like your take on the country and the vids look really cool. Cant wait for the next one.
when INCREDIBLE Karl met incredible INDIA..........Awsome
Really liked your video, mate. Thanks alot. It made me laugh. Going to india for the first time in a couple weeks! Exciting!
Nice! Enjoy
I love this video! Reminds me of my India trip. You totally inspired me to go back!
Julia P India welcomes you with open arms.. 😇
I've watched loads of travel vloggers on youtube but I'm def digging your laid back cool style of narration. Nice and easy without pretense. Nice one!
Thanks! :)
First of all amazing video!!!!! Secondly your making me soooo excited for my trip to India!!! Can't express how great this video is, terrific job on showing India , it's exactly how I pictured it. Soooo humbling
Pia Narayani hi Pia when are you going? We go next week!
Again absolutely brilliant mate. India is a place on my list.
You are incredible....I am so excited to go to India soon because of you. These videos are top quality!
This is the best video on india for travellers on youtube!! loved it!
Walking through Indian streets is nothing short of sensory overload. You were jetlagged at the beginning, but you talk about how exhausting it can be. It's one thing to walk 10 miles in one day in a European city where everything is calm. It's another thing for the body to constantly be stressed with so many sounds, sights, smells, people walking around in a place like India, even if you're just walking 1-2 miles. I feel like in these situations every cell in the body is using so much more energy as the body adapts. All your senses have to be hyper-vigilant. There are so many people, it's all a bit draining (almost as if your brain is sub-consciously evaluating who is a threat and who isn't; like a survival instinct). But that new stimulus of going to a place like India where everything is so different and so rich in culture is what makes it so fun :)
It's like if you're in Times Square in NYC @ 9 pm on a Friday where it's similarly crowded. It's still sensory overload, but there's just something so different about walking in India.
@@SephirothXRA The biggest diffrence is that India is one of the few places in this world which wasnt conquered by caucasians entirely even after the 200 years the brits ruled it and the time the moghuls ruled it. India has kept some of its identity through all of this. and that is a very very old one. Back when India was the richest country on earth for a long time.
"It gets it's name...
because it's a massive fort.
and it's red."
ahaha
Amazing documentary mate! Can't wait for part 2 and you deserve so many more views for the quality of content you have! Thanks for sharing your adventures
As an Indian staying abroad my heart aches for the warmth, life and liveliness of my home. India is for the soul. I was v v pained to hear some of Karl's observations on North India specially. This is NOT the way to see the country. Please understand that the beauty of the country CANNOT be measured by what you see. You really need to understand the history, the context and culture of the place. India is all heart and soul and stories- that is what makes her and thats what missing in this video. Where are the stories? The context and the history? Its all soooo superficial. YOU REALLY NEED TO TRAVEL WITH AN INDIAN WHO CAN GIVE YOU THIA CONTEXT AND THIS UNDERSTANDING. AND IF YOU CANT TALK TO THE LOCALS SITTING QUIETLY NOT THE ONES THAT APPROACH YOU TO SELL STUFF BECAUSE THEY ARE THERE FOR JOB AND THE ONES SITTING QUIETLY ARE THE REAL PEOPLE WITHOUT ANY PURPOSE WHO WILL TELL YOU THE MEANING BEHIND THE THINGS YOU SEE. I wish i could tell this to every traveller that plans to come to my country. Know her, understand her. Just dont see her. Hope someone will take this up and then share what they really SAW.
Why are you living abroad if you miss india so much ? Believe it, his observations are real. It's just you don't like the stuff he is telling us at it is.
Very timely, I am doing 4 weeks through Northern India in Dec/Jan. Really looking forward to this thank you.
This was freaking outstanding. I like the casual presentation, and the street scenes, where you are just wandering around. The video moved along so well, never once did I think "Yeah, get on with it". Part 2, I can't wait.
I won't be online then :/ I will have to wait. Dammit.
i hope you enjoying your holiday in india :)
How is your trip going?
I've watched this video at least 20 times now. I'm just a bit confused of what kind of clothing to bring mid to end of January? Its around the same time you went if I'm not mistaken? But I see you with tshirts and polo shirts only @karl. So I won't need a heavy jacket correct?
This was great :) I worked in India for 3 and a half months at the beginning of the year and I can't wait to go back and travel the whole country :) I can't wait to watch the next episode :)
If I have to describe MY INDIA in one word that would be definitely
'ADVENTURE'
there is adventure in everything here
India has been one of the friendliest people to me. They have really unique food and it's really good.
Wonderful video Karl, thanks for your time and effort!
This is the best thing I've ever seen on youtube about India!
I love this video and the wonderful land of INDIA !
So full of history and wonderful people ❤️🇮🇳🙏
Thanks for sharing !
Cheers from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Loved the video mate, you're travel documentaries are brilliant. Heading to India next week and this was good to watch beforehand.
Thanks very much 😊👍
Loooooved it Karl! Haha your face while that Camel was running, so funny! India looks amazing!!
i know India is amazing, stay away and keep your foreign crap with you
Wow that looked awesome, I'm looking forward to the next episode!
i Travelled all over North india by Train Delhi, Lucknow, Varanasi Patna and Calcutta...loved it but it was hard work
I am half Indian and half Norwegian. In 2015 me and my family went on vacation to India and we visited many of the places you filmed in this video. I love your videos and look forward to seeing the rest of A Taste Of India
dont go there agaian, India dont need you
Great Video! Awesome job. Im now adding India to my bucket list and moving on to episode 2.
The Taj Mahal looks amazing
But the history behind it is disgusting it's not symbol of love dnt perceive it in that way but the architecture is marvelous
Hi Karl,
Main attraction of your videos is that, it’s quite natural. No gimmicks and no effects added considering viewers like other travel channels. It’s completely genuine. Appreciate that and a big Hi-5 to you for visiting our country and making such a great video. Next time, request you to make a journey from Western side to North Eastern part of India covering at least the Rann of Kutch, Khajuraho, Konark, Puri temple, Howrah Bridge, North Sikkim, Manipur, and Tawang etc. etc. You’ll find it exactly the opposite to North India am sure & you can clearly understand how we Indians proudly say India is a secular country with different languages, different culture, different people, different food and different terrain as well. Once again, Hats off to you..
I'm trying my level best to share your channel with my friends and family.
Cheers,Sajin.
My pleasure.. btw, can you please let me know which is that background music during Jaipur palace visit ? a fast number and its still running in my mind..
thats gr8, thanks for the quick response :)
Dear Sajin I S, I remember Karl having responded to your question "background Music during Jaipur Visit." last year. Can you recollect which music piece was it. He had given a link to the site. it seems now Karl has deleted all his replies. please share. thanx
That sunset in the dessert was so amazingly beautiful! God is Good
Beautiful. I had gone for a 35 days tour in own vehicle to cover entire India, but after 35 days we could not even finish half. In every 100km, there will some change in language, culture, clothing, or food. Since the country has more than 5000 years of history there are many ancient temples, monuments and history associated with anything and everything which is very overwhelming. If you are in a spiritual journey then there will be more to it and you may have an entire life life not sufficient to explore all of India even for an Indian who has basic understanding of her culture
This looks truly incredible, Im so jealous
I cant wait for the whole episode! Im pumped:) Perfect thing after a whole day of work!
Amazing video budd, enjoyed every bit of it. It's very well put together I must say, props for the filming and editing work!
Visiting India in November, can't wait!
Karl, another awesome video from you mate. Looking forward to the next one. What a great way to spend a Sunday evening. Thanks mate, keep up the good work.
Love from INDIA!!
Oh Karl, it's been too long.... but this was worth waiting for. Loved it! Looking forward to next week. xx
Karl, as always you do a phenomenal job with your photography and editing. I know this is 5 years after the fact but I was actually traveling to each and every one of the places you visited on this trip. It was so much fun traveling along with you via video and remembering the places that I love and miss. Udaipur was my favorite of all the cities I think. Your next stop is Goa which I love as I've spent the last two winters there in Palolem. Great job! I hope you are well and are getting past this Covid. Best, Dan
Thanks very much Dan. Yeah Udaipur is one of the places I would like to revisit as I didn’t have much time there and I was exhausted for it as well 😊
@@karlwatsondocs Yes, I loved Udaipur. I have been back several times and always make time for it. I forgot to mention I also loved Varanasi. It was such a wonderful place once you acclimated to the chaos! :)
Love your videos mate. Well presented and produced!
Your videos are giving me great inspiration for my trip around SE Asia and India.
I'm so jealous of you that you got to see tat desert night sky!
Hey I could go with you to India anywhere. I don’t have anything to do, but I see you already have a companion with you. I’ve always wanted to visit the Indian continent! I’m still planning for the trip there. Enjoy and be safe!!
Gorgeous video mate. Really enjoyed it. Such a beautiful country. Cheers.
This video is really well done! I loved every minute of it :)
I really enjoy watching your videos, why can't all travel doc's be as great as yours!! Looking forward to the next one. 👌🏻✨
Ahh the puenting in Banos! Scariest/sketchiest thing I have ever done. Sweet vid, India is definitely on the list.
Just rewatching this series. The colours in this one bro. Amazing. Just amazing.
You are wonderful :) I'm heading over to London from Australia to do a working visa and planning to go via India for a month or so. I'm so happy that I found this video. Within the first minute of watching your video I had added it to my watch later list as well as ep 2. I just knew it would be worthy of watching. You are a very captivating person and I enjoyed every minute of it! Thank you so much for creating this, you've put a lot of wonderful ideas in my mind.
Really enjoyed watching this video, can' t wait to see episode 2 .
Gonna watch it right away :-)
Such an exciting and incredible India experience you had. ♡♡♡
Another sick one mate. Miss the backpacker lifestyle all the time!! always got the British Defender photos to remember the good times dude!!
Karl, you never disappoint! Really fantastic. Looking forward to the rest.
Great video! You got so many absolutely gorgeous shots and you really seem to capture a lot of the atmosphere. I feel like I've actually had a travel experience through watching. Looking forward to more!
That was awesome. Loved your editing Mate.
Can you please tell me how much you spent on your whole trip to India ? Thanks.
Totally AWSOME video, i've planned to go to those places in India also, so this was very intresting! Gonna order your channel and watch the sec part right away!
Cheers 😊
Incredible video Karl. Can't wit for the next episode.
Nice video man.. Been wanting to travel to india and your video vlogs just made me wana do it sooner!😂
Best travel vlog ..i have ever seen
Great work Karl! Can't wait for the next episode.
The photo of the stars was amazing!!!
Can't wait for episode 2😃

You are making a wonderful video about traveling!)
Can't wait for part 2!! Such an amazing video...your content is seriously miles above anything else out there! Great job! :)
That was an amazing video! Loved it! Definitely helped in planning my 6 week trip to India.
good job ..enjoyed watching
India looks cool,I visited the border of India but I was in syhlet Bangladesh I loved it so much! The boat rides and scenery was the best! Even I was asked for lots of photos lol but I kind of stuck out considering I'm whiter then Snow White with blonde hair lol the people are so nice and welcoming,even in places that look so poor the different cultures are so rich
Brilliant !! India has been on the trip I've been planning for a while now and this got me excited for country even more 👍
Looking forward to seeing the rest
Great work as usual! Well done Karl and thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
Dude I have so much to comment about, let's see if I would be able to successfully break it into points-
1. You have captured India(my country!) very very beautifully.
2. I would love to travel with you next time you come here. I mean it!
3. It's 2 am, I have an exam in the morning yet I watched it because I knew it would make my day. And it did!
4. Video felt a bit rushed but guess what, India is that big!
5. A question - Where did you book the hostels from?
6. Your choice of music is just good! Always some soothing music.
7. You are an awesome man, you are an inspiration and you have earned a well wisher.
8. So much points, still not satisfied! Anyway, keep up this good work! Will meet someday for sure :)
I'm leaving on boxing day to backpack south east Asia and then India, so going to be the same situation haha
Except we don't wear sweaters here in Aus over christmas, more like bikinis and thongs but same same haha
Paige Harrison
How was your trip
Absolutely brilliant video. Loved it!! Can't wait for the next part. :)
Can't wait for part 2! India is such a fantastic place. Watching this makes me really miss it. Fabulous work as always. :)
One thumbs up for you Brother
My blood really gets boiled everytime i hear that british rulers took our property our jewelry diamonds and many things i really want take it back to our country did anyone else wants to pls tell me and support me
Did you see the recent study which says the British looted from India upto $600 Trillion Dollars, between 1765-1938...If they are to pay back all that stolen money, basically England will be bankrupt for the next 600 years! *JUST IMAGINE THAT*
yes, and how much did your country gain in terms of civilization?
@@amoreazione3563 nothing. Just trains. Oh yeah it gained poverty, famine, lack of education. So much civilization
@@sarthakgr8 Yeah yeah blame the British for that. Blame yourselves instead
@@MrCushcam oh yeah sure. We have one of the highest gdp growth rate and poverty reduction rate in the world. After all its our fault right that we are improving? We should have just stayed the way the great Brits left us with 80% people in poverty.
Its not the Britishers fault that literacy rate was less than 12% when they left. Its our fault that its almost 80% now. Its all our fault yeah
Dumbass
Another great episode Karl, you've certainly changed my perception of India in places.
loved your video, the way you experienced India,the beautiful sights,really inspiring.ty .
Thinking about backpacking and vlogging in india!!
Very overcrowded streets there, but temples, desert views, Bianka are looks great :)
yes i am indian but i also fell that !
Enjoyed that. A completely different way of life. Eye opening stuff, thanks for all the effort.
Another great video Karl!
It's like a human version of frogger 😂😂 love it

What an incredible trip! Great job showing us the North! I can't wait to see the next Ep!
Can't wait to see Ep2. Goa is so magical and wild.
Hey, Karl... any chance you could post complete Itinerary?
I just fell in love with Bianca!!!
1926paoktsis loser
@dragon fly you're right, it would've been all too easy for that white guy, doesn't even need to try because the Asian women fall in love with anyone with white skin
@dragon fly are you two envious?
@@RonaldinhoNZ. asian incel btfo by azn roastees
Very nice!! I need to go back soon after seeing this, India is so bizar and amazing! Thanks for taking me back there for 48 minutes!! Can't wait for part 2!
