Sorry to repeat what I said in your other video, if you are used to the western lifestyle, and traveling in India with children, you cannot travel cheaply! Use flights, use uber, pre-book your travel and transportation as much as possible, and use middlemen/agents/guides as much as possible so as avoid encounters with hustlers and scammers. This is the basic tenet that even we Indians living abroad follow when traveling across India. You folks are traveling like backpackers, but with children. That's a strict no no, unless you want your children to experience the harsh street life of India, with all its noise and filth and pollution. Or just stay away from the metro cities and go to the clean and quiet regions - Munnar in Kerala, Lakshadweep islands, the pristine northeastern states like Sikkim and Meghalaya - each is a tourism destination in its own right. Should have done your research before traveling to India.
I loved the fact that John talked about getting a clip of his wife and his eldest son walking behind the elephants. I love the respect that you have for each other and your children.
I loved the old buildings but the noise exhaust and animals. I have three birds in a cage and the mess they make, the idea of all those pigeons give me NIGHTMARES ! Yuck. What’s the difference in riding an elephant or a camel? I think both have been used as pack animals for a long time but in those circumstances wouldn’t they have someone overseeing the care of such animals to be sure they are properly handled?
I think because camels have been domesticated for thousands of years, like horses. Elephants are considered wild animals. Sadly we have tried to domesticate this wild animal, especially in circuses.
@@marymcmillian7354 the only thing that I thought was acceptable in this whole video was a ride on an elephant. I would not ride a camel but as long as the elephant is cared for and treated humanely I don’t have any issues with riding one. I personally believe that many animals actually enjoy working. I grew up on farms with animals and they certainly preferred having work rather than being bored. It’s all about how well you take care of them. India doesn’t appeal to me for visiting because of the crowds, noise, pollution, too many animals, and the unhygienic environment. I also don’t like Indian food so I might get very hungry. lol.
Thank you for not riding the elephants, The day after I visited the Amber Fort one of the elephants threw its passengers and one died 😢. The poor animal had finally had enough.
i really think that your choices are exactly that, we can have an opinion on things but not push what we think is right/wrong on others. I love your vlogs and what ever you choose for your family is right for you. so pleased to watch your travels and hope you enjoy your trip.
Wow! It is now approximately 60 years since my visit to India. Big difference…I could travel everywhere without people. You are very brave to face the massive crowds, pollution, etc. especially with two dear little boys. Still love revisiting with you. Thanks, Newbies 😊
I agree 100% with Tara on the elephants. Elephants are amazing beings and deserve to be in their families and not working for man as a slave for profit.
My Concern... would be the > Homeless Children 🧒 < in India Vs. the Elephants. 🐘 ("deserve to be in their families") (At least the Elephants are being cared for. (Home/ shelter / food and a purpose. ) > They Love their Animals. While the children on the streets.. lack a stable home or a shelter and some of them have no family ties. They are easy victims of abuse and inhuman treatment, and are often engaged in petty theft or prostitution for economic survival. >> 100000 children remain homeless and on the streets of India. Priorities.
'Be Brave, Think Big...Explore! You're certainly doing all of this on your trip to India. What unbelievably beautiful architecture you're seeing. It's a pleasure to watch this incredible trip with you two and the boys. Thank you for sharing this.
Lots of people in comments have apprehensions about tagging your children along,but as soon as people in India see you with children, you will be treated more gently and lots of people will go out of their way to help and make you comfortable.
Be brave ! First visited India when I was 61 …..wish I had gone much much earlier in my life …. Have been 3 times since …looking forward to trip number 5 …
4:33 I don't know if anyone notice or not but when she carry his child the person holding camera put his hand on the edge of the iron metal board so that she and child would not get hurt without noticing anyone... that's sooooo sweet...❤❤❤
Foreigners only visit crowded places in India..India is way more diverse than you ever imagined..There are thousands of places in India where foreigners rarely visit. Vist Central India,North eastern states..Amazing temples, palaces, forts,forests and more.
Tara, I love your quote in regards to India: “It all happens wherever it can.” Sounds exciting and explorative! Thanks always for sharing your life with us boring people here in mid-west America! Take care! 🥰🤓❤🙏🏼
I'm with Tara on having a guide. How incredible to learn all about the places you're visiting. Such great education for the boys too. I can see you back on the farm in years to come, discussing their memories and telling them all about those places they visited and the history behind it. Good call on going back early.
I can't tell you how much I am enjoying your travels in India. I was born there but left for England with my family when I was 3, many years ago. I have no family there and have never visited but whenever I see a documentary, or someone's travels like your channel, it's a MUST watch for me. You are very brave doing this with your two young boys, but what a wonderful experience for them.
Lots of smog (cough-cough)!! I think for me to be in another culture is to expand myself beyond what is comfortable for me. I learned to just try to be open and try not to judge. I learned that I truly don't know the realities of anyone else...trying to superimpose what I know on someone only creates more division and possibly estrangement. I so loved my time in India, my mind was blown open every day!! I came home with a whole new appreciation for the magnificent diversity of my planet❤❤❤
Glad you are safe, and the boys, but that pollution is bad, the quicker you get into the country the better. You will appreciate your home in Portugal so much when you return. All we can say is you certainly live up to your motto, thanks for showing us India, in all it's crazy Ness, stay safe. ❤️🙏🙏🐘🐘
If someone wants to avoid the hectic, chaos, polution, population you can just go to Reserve forests, jungle, mountains in Nort and North East, Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Laxadweep islands for heavenly and peaceful beach , Kerala backwaters, Sundarbans Jungle Safari by boat . Even as an Indian i only would go to these cities for work or for one time experience, I love village life and nature.
Tara, you would enjoy a visit to the David Sheldrick elephant orphanage in Nairobi, Kenya. If I recall correctly his wife, Dame Daphne Sheldrick formulated elephants’ milk, which was integral in saving newly orphaned babies when their Mothers' milk was not available, a wonderful place for those who believe that animals should be born free.❤
Such a lovely couple i glad to see you are very politely exploring india and showing food culture and language thanks you so much welcome to India 🇮🇳🇮🇳😊😊
I have absolutely nothing but amazement for you doing that with two toddlers. I would LOVE to go and do what you did in India. It looks like no other country in the world. When you said in the beginning that Jaipur is mental, I immediately put Jaipur on my bucket list. What an amazing country and wonderful people!
I love your skill with the camera and merging all your clips with music and an interesting commentary. Having been to India in the late 80s it was amazing to see how much busier it is on the streets but are thankful that technology hasn't mastered smell into the mix. Thanks for sharing this.
I respect the Indian culture and since hundreds of years they have used elephants for different things and some take really good care of them, but I do agree that all animals should be free in the wild. India is such an Interesting country and their culture is so rich. Great tour guys. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪
Oh, I love everything about this episode! The hectic, the love-hate-relationship with mother India. Seeing the Palace of the winds again brought tears to my eyes. I've been there, wandering about, same time as John. Enchanting India! You sure are brave to explore with your two boys. And to see the difference between them; Crusoe being a pure nature child, and Sawya is such a happy soul, taking it all in. I love the music and the editing. Thank you for taking us with you on this journey!
Hello Newbys I am so happy to be travelling India with your family. Can't wait for you to get out in the country side and for Crusoe and Sawyer to breath some fresh air. I think the cities would be too much for me with the noise and the traffic.
U can visit south India u can see variety of different foods temples heritage and culture especially Kerala and Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, it's amazing Kerala, munnar, kochi, wayanad
Thank you for not riding the elephants. Living in South Africa and having had a huge scandal when the horrific training involved were exposed, it is hard to watch. But, as you say, on some level one has to accept the reality of existence.
It's India those elephant riders doesn't torture them they nurture them with love. Those Elephants are their partners. If you care about animals then stop eating them that's hypocrisy
Thank you so much for taking us along on your travels in India. I have been to several countries in Europe, but never even thought about India. How fascinating everything is and the architecture is incredible. Thank you for sharing.
Maybe you didn't think about it because India isn't in europe? 🤭 It's in the south of Asia. It must've been cool to travel europe though! I live in a european country, but only been in a handful of other european countries myself.
What’s the different between riding camels or elephants? I love your Chanel. Those boy are adorable. Looks like Sawyer is awake more and constantly taking everything in.
That’s what I was thinking. Is it that camels are not considered as majestic as elephants? I’m not offended, I would have been amazed at seeing elephants in their colourful attire as John was but somehow it seems wrong to ride them. And don’t you have to pay to ride camels? All good, just part of the experience. Good video, I just don’t think I could cope with all that street noise 😂
I love that both John and Tara both have a different opinion on the elephants but you respect and value each other’s views and decided together what was best for your family at that time.
Great video! I can just imagine those cities back in the day when they were new and how colorful and magical they were. That Amber Palace I'm sure was absolutely beautiful! So great to see all of you having fun in any situation. You are definitely very brave! Thank you for sharing your adventures! Hugs!
Loved this video as always. The crowds and traffic not for me, but the buildings are so beautiful and amazing. Thankyou so much for sharing. Love to you all xx
India is a country of multicolors, traditions and cultures. These are for sure memorable moments, timeless relics, that you'll treasure in your book of memories. Take care ❤
Lovely! On my solo trip to Rajasthan I reached overload while in Jaipur and needed to take a break at the beautiful old palace hotel I was staying in. Just spent the day reading by the pool in the garden, and by the next day was ready to head out again! Loved the Amber Palace, and didn’t ride an elephant, but loved watching them bathe in the river below!
I appreciate so much you can see and share the beauty beyond the pollution, noise and chaos. We’ve never been to India and I’m not sure we would adapt as easily as you all have, so thank you for sharing the experience. We felt as if we were right beside you!~Cara ❤
I'm with Tara on this one. John also made a good point. Making memories that's what is all about wether it is in India, in your own backyard or at the dinner table playing games with family/friends on those chilly winter evenings. Johns eyes sparkle even more when he' s travelling. Tara, I think you will appriciate your beautiful home even more when you are back in Portugal. The contrast couldn"t be bigger. Enjoy making memories.
Great video as always - thanks for sharing. If my senses feel overloaded from only watching on my tv, I can only imagine what it’s like there in real life. Stay safe 🤗
Another wonderful podcast. Elephant situation - I to felt like Tara for a long time then with more life exploration and confirmed by my experiences I realised that my view was narrow. Some are very much honoured and well cared for and indeed would enjoy the lives they have. This came about when I started watching the work of animal communicators on youtube. I witnessed communication from arena performance horses who appeared to be very much loved and cared for at the highest level. They expressed how bonded they were with their owners and that they enjoyed the work they did. Then I looked for this option with other animals and witnessed similiar situations. I learnt to communicate with animals also albeit more modestly and I realised there are many different circumstances and experiences all beings are having. Our role as humans is to step in and protect when circumstances are bad only. ❤ Running wild and free can be a short difficult life and not desired by all. ❤
Life in India is not easy for lower middle earning class. There is pollution in these cities but we don't have money to transform completely into e bikes or electric cars in few years. Cleanliness is definitely a problem Indians should work on.
Thanks for another fabulous vlog, Newbys! I love how open and excited Crusoe and Sawyer are throughout this whole experience. I do believe they will carry on the Newby traveling tradition. On another note, Tara, I love your boots. They look perfect for long travel days. Can you tell me what kind they are?
Hello from Canada. You look like your having an amazing time. Thinking big, exploring and being brave. I love the wonderment in the boys eyes. So glad we are able to tag along and enjoy the videos your sharing. 😎👍🏻
Thanks for sharing your travels, it's a real trip down memory lane for me seeing all the places I visited years ago. What I didn't see was a goat in a jumper - that was hilarious.
A brilliant capture of life on the streets. The colours, the sounds, the smells and the culture are brilliantly filmed with the perfect soundtrack. Appreciating differences and enjoying what we share opens our hearts to new people and new experiences. Thank you for sharing your fantastic adventure.
This was fantastic to watch but never in my wildest dreams would I ever want to go there. It’s amazing to see the boys taking it in their stride and that’s of course following your positive attitude.😊❤ I also like that you share your different views about the elephants 🐘
Wow. I am overwhelmed with the sights and sounds you are seeing in person. Your wonderful musical soundtrack has actually brought tears to my eyes and I am not even there! Thank you for bringing me "along" and putting a small travel bug in my soul. Someday.
Of all the world countries I could visit, India would be the bottom of my list. I dislike Indian food and nothing I have seen on other vlogs would entice me there. I would be much happier and contented looking after my Portuguese property.
But who is asking you to come to India😅😅, Yes Yes go look at your Portuguese property, and make sure not to go to Africa your ancestors had done enough damage there
@jamesblevins9059 I respect your opinion about food, but portuguese coming to India and forcing native Indians in Goa through inquisition was fun, right? You have dislike for food, but you may not have a problem of christians saying "my god is the only god and my religion is the only true religion" and forcing and killing natives to believe in your nonsense was okay?
I am an Indian living in the UK and I too went to India in December. My voice got choked and I had a runny nose all the time. Me and my husband were discussing how difficult it will be for Crusoe and Sawyer with this level of pollution. The biggest problem in India is that nobody really cares about the pollution and it is never quite.
Wow what an adventure. Lots of pollution but so unusual architecture and so busy! Bet you will be so happy to get back to your home though with clean air and beautiful lawn and flower gardens. Thanks as always for the different glimpse of life in India 😊
We noticed that Indian media seems to also have strange biases. I’m not entirely sure that the media you receive is 100% true either. For example, most Indian newspapers refer to pollution as fog, and suggest that you guys can build a resistance to it over time. This is absolutely false. As you cleverly pointed out, we should all be at least a little sceptical about the news we receive. Thanks for watching friend.
Hi John, Tara, Crusoe and Sawyer……gosh what an assault on the senses this weeks India vlog is……I know that this is a place I absolutely could never go to, as I could not in any way deal with the noise, crowds, traffic and animals, as I so much prefer peace, quiet and solitude in comparison, but I admire greatly your enthusiasm for all you see and your approach to it all and with your boys in tow. I can however marvel at all you are seeing and thank you for sharing it with us. Best wishes and ❤ Julie 😊
Great video. Love seeing the adventures you choose and how you define you time to make it special not only for mum and dad but also the boys. I appreciate you each explaining your feelings on certain aspects of travel, guides, food, sights and activities. And even that you don't agree. Very refreshing view of travel. Please excuse me if this is a naive question, but what is the difference between riding a camel and an elephant? Looking forward to each episode of your fabulous adventures! (Though I am still recovering from the rats?😳)
My dear friends, I was afraid to watch these India videos because I am afraid to travel. But I found that going with you I am safe. Watching you made it a wonderful experience to see all the wonders of places I will never see otherwise. I was afraid for you a lot of times. I was imagining what you were feeling privately and suffered for you. I have been worrying for the strength of your bodies, seeing how taxing travel with little children is. When I saw one of you carrying BOTH children I was praying for your spines. I found out, in my life, you actually can use up body parts. We think we are always strong enough to do what we need to. And we can! However, later we may find that we use up too much, too soon. That's why I pray for your precious bodies. No one told me to ease up. Then my body told me. John, you have been given one lesson about this. Respect and be gentle with your body. The payoff is more life in your old life. I am very proud of you and your accomplishments. I love you and all you give us. But my dears, take good care of yourselves. No one else will.🖖
Bom dia, estou a adorar viajar pela Índia com vocês. Sem querer fazer qualquer julgamento, só queria referir que não vi esses sentimentos em relação a montar o Camelo...Vocês são uma família adorável e os meninos uns amores...💌
Tara, I stand by you.. such lovely creatures, gentle giants. I love the multitude of tiny doors. Maybe John can add some to the gate, or if all have a balcony on the new house, have tiny doors to peep out of.
My Concern... would be for the > Homeless Children 🧒 < in India VS. the Elephants. 🐘 (At least the Elephants are being cared for. (Home/ shelter / food, exercise and a purpose. ) > They sure Love their Animals. While the children on the streets.. lack a stable home or a shelter and some of them have no family ties. They are easy victims of abuse and inhuman treatment, and are often engaged in petty theft or prostitution for economic survival. >> 100000 children remain homeless and on the streets of India. Priorities.
You are brave doing that trip with the little ones! What a great eye opening it will be for them when they look at photos or videos of themselves walking among monkeys, goats, elephants and more, in later years!
Tara, I ❤ your opinion and agree 100%. Animals are not ours to paint up and ride around on. I would prefer to see an elephant in the wide living free as all animals including humans should be.
Thank you for NOT eating cows and buffaloes @oddache. At least the owners care for their elephants like children and don't eat them. And frankly the elephants are just WALKING! When there are no tourists, they are made to walk for hours on the highway as exercise. And the weights of the humans on them are miniscule for them. I wish they HAD ridden the elephants. Crusoe would've loved it. And if no one takes these elephant rides out of (misplaced) concern, what will the elephant owners earn and what will they feed their elephants? I remember one elephant owner's wife making these huge chapatis of jaggery and wheat on an open fire in Jim Corbett park. She told me first my children (meaning the elephants) will eat, then we will eat.
@@sagarnehra2981 How do you know the people commenting eat all sorts of animals? Veganism is so widespread these days, you have no idea who does and does not.
Thank you for sharing your family travels! I see both sides in the elephant discussion, for me personally I'd rather see them free & wild however they did look majestic in that setting. Wishing Greatest Blessings & safety on your travels Newbys!

When you say about ethics it's funny😂 because you ride a camel 🐫 in previous video now saying about ethics when it come to elephant 🐘. Did ethics tell every animal have different ethics. Foreigners 😂😂😂
I think it’s about how the animals are trained, and the environment they live in as they work. A camel is mostly found in a desert setting, an elephant naturally in the countryside too. Good challenge. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.
Travel changes you in such a good way. The fact that you are brave enough to take your children is monumental. Loving the videos. My daughter has visited India but I do not have that desire. I would rather view it from the tv with editorials. I have visited other places so I'm a traveler but not to the extent you are.
Loving seeing your Indian experience and thanks for sharing. For Crusoe , Sawyer and yourselves to look back on is truly amazing guys. You did it, well done you 👏👏🐘.
This was so much fun! John is so right about traveling for the memories. We loved Jaipur and it was so fun to see some of those wonderful places again. We decided not to ride elephants also but did ride camels when the chance arose in Pushkar, go figure. So great to see you visiting the same sites we saw 25 years ago. Just an aside, our youngest only ate sweet and sour dishes while we were in India. If there was meat served he had sweet and sour chicken. I there were no meat he'd eat sweet and sour veggies, for 4 months. Oh well, he lived and has great stories to tell. Good job on giving us such a real slice of what India is really like.
I’m with John, it really is just cool! That has been their culture for. Forever. I don’t believe in taking a persons culture away any more than I do in animal cruelty. There is no winning that way. Each one has to come to the realization of oneness by themselves…it can’t be forced because that doesn’t work ever. I Have a special love for the Indian people and have enjoyed this journey very much. There is something so absolutely charming about Sawyers smile and laugh!! Gets me every time. The boys are wonderful travelers because you’ve never been afraid to take them!! Lucky lads, those little guys!!🤗🤗👍👍💖💖🙏🙏
I visited India many years ago … The elephants in the palace brought back many memories ! I now have to go back to my old pictures and see where I was when we rode the elephants in the Palace . thank you for your complete trip to the rat palace…. I know I don’t have to go there now !!!❣️

For me as well. Nothing brings me there. But it’s very nice to see the Newbies there having fun and show us Indias beauty.
So dirty and noisy. Don't think I'll be going. Amazing architecture though.
One of best vacations

Good on you for the elephant decision. When you go to Thailand, hang out at the ethical elephant sanctuaries.
Lots of smog (cough-cough)!! I think for me to be in another culture is to expand myself beyond what is comfortable for me. I learned to just try to be open and try not to judge. I learned that I truly don't know the realities of anyone else...trying to superimpose what I know on someone only creates more division and possibly estrangement. I so loved my time in India, my mind was blown open every day!! I came home with a whole new appreciation for the magnificent diversity of my planet❤❤❤
We loved your comment Mary, it is so so true 🐘❤️🙏🏼🇮🇳
I love the blog .I also think horses should be free and chickens and goats but everyone uses them and takes advantage of their work So sad
Glad you are safe, and the boys, but that pollution is bad, the quicker you get into the country the better. You will appreciate your home in Portugal so much when you return. All we can say is you certainly live up to your motto, thanks for showing us India, in all it's crazy Ness, stay safe. ❤️🙏🙏🐘🐘
If someone wants to avoid the hectic, chaos, polution, population you can just go to Reserve forests, jungle, mountains in Nort and North East, Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Laxadweep islands for heavenly and peaceful beach , Kerala backwaters, Sundarbans Jungle Safari by boat .

I have absolutely nothing but amazement for you doing that with two toddlers. I would LOVE to go and do what you did in India. It looks like no other country in the world. When you said in the beginning that Jaipur is mental, I immediately put Jaipur on my bucket list. What an amazing country and wonderful people!
Thanks Beverley!
Oh another excellent video! ❤ You guys are so incredibly brave! All the horn honking would drive me crazy 😂
I love your skill with the camera and merging all your clips with music and an interesting commentary. Having been to India in the late 80s it was amazing to see how much busier it is on the streets but are thankful that technology hasn't mastered smell into the mix. Thanks for sharing this.
India is huge by land also by population also by tradition so really India (Bharat) is though also amazing
It is and we love it friend! 🐘❤️🙏🏼🇮🇳
Tack för en spännande film. Det verkar så jobbigt med alla bilar som tutar och fullt med folk överallt. Vackra hus i Indien.❤
Thank you Iris 🐘❤️🙏🏼🇮🇳
I respect the Indian culture and since hundreds of years they have used elephants for different things and some take really good care of them, but I do agree that all animals should be free in the wild. India is such an Interesting country and their culture is so rich. Great tour guys. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪
What about the huge cattle ranches? What about the huge stable of horses? 😅
Thanks Monique. Such a complex subject. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.
Oh, I love everything about this episode! The hectic, the love-hate-relationship with mother India.
Seeing the Palace of the winds again brought tears to my eyes. I've been there, wandering about, same time as John. Enchanting India! You sure are brave to explore with your two boys. And to see the difference between them; Crusoe being a pure nature child, and Sawya is such a happy soul, taking it all in.
I love the music and the editing. Thank you for taking us with you on this journey!
Thanks Marie!!
Hello Newbys I am so happy to be travelling India with your family. Can't wait for you to get out in the country side and for Crusoe and Sawyer to breath some fresh air. I think the cities would be too much for me with the noise and the traffic.
Thanks Sandra! A big of countryside would be amazing. Thanks so much for watching 🐘❤️🙏🏼🇮🇳
U can visit south India u can see variety of different foods temples heritage and culture especially Kerala and Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, it's amazing Kerala, munnar, kochi, wayanad
Thank you for not riding the elephants. Living in South Africa and having had a huge scandal when the horrific training involved were exposed, it is hard to watch. But, as you say, on some level one has to accept the reality of existence.
OKay but stop eating animals mate
It's India those elephant riders doesn't torture them they nurture them with love. Those Elephants are their partners. If you care about animals then stop eating them that's hypocrisy
Thank you so much for taking us along on your travels in India.
I have been to several countries in Europe, but never even thought about India. How fascinating everything is and the architecture is incredible. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Ann!!
Maybe you didn't think about it because India isn't in europe? 🤭 It's in the south of Asia. It must've been cool to travel europe though! I live in a european country, but only been in a handful of other european countries myself.
What’s the different between riding camels or elephants? I love your Chanel. Those boy are adorable. Looks like Sawyer is awake more and constantly taking everything in.
Yes fully 👍 agree, same.....
And those who eat all sorts of animals should talk about this,,,,,, it's funny to me
That’s what I was thinking. Is it that camels are not considered as majestic as elephants? I’m not offended, I would have been amazed at seeing elephants in their colourful attire as John was but somehow it seems wrong to ride them.
And don’t you have to pay to ride camels?
All good, just part of the experience.
Good video, I just don’t think I could cope with all that street noise 😂
Elephants aren’t meant walk/be ridden on hard asphalt/ tarmac surfaces
@@brianjewell6832 Thank they are not in Western countries, you guys love to eat animals
@@sagarnehra2981 some of us do not
I love that both John and Tara both have a different opinion on the elephants but you respect and value each other’s views and decided together what was best for your family at that time.
Great video! I can just imagine those cities back in the day when they were new and how colorful and magical they were. That Amber Palace I'm sure was absolutely beautiful! So great to see all of you having fun in any situation. You are definitely very brave! Thank you for sharing your adventures! Hugs!
Thanks so much friend. It was magical! Absolutely beautiful, we loved it 🐘❤️🙏🏼🇮🇳
Loved this video as always. The crowds and traffic not for me, but the buildings are so beautiful and amazing. Thankyou so much for sharing. Love to you all xx
Thank you for sharing your exciting trip. With 2 little kids you are both super brave.
Thank you for watching Mary! We appreciate your support 🐘❤️🙏🏼🇮🇳
Well Newbys you started quite the conversation! 🤔 Thoroughly enjoying India through your lens. Love the music. ❤
India is a country of multicolors, traditions and cultures. These are for sure memorable moments, timeless relics, that you'll treasure in your book of memories. Take care ❤
We absolutely LOVE it Gi! It is magical 🐘❤️🙏🏼🇮🇳
Lovely! On my solo trip to Rajasthan I reached overload while in Jaipur and needed to take a break at the beautiful old palace hotel I was staying in. Just spent the day reading by the pool in the garden, and by the next day was ready to head out again! Loved the Amber Palace, and didn’t ride an elephant, but loved watching them bathe in the river below!
Sounds incredible Alicia! 🐘❤️🙏🏼🇮🇳
It’s like a crazy, colorful, noisy, visual sensory overload teaming with all kinds of life!! Thank you for the journey 🥰
It depends on place u visit.There are many beautiful and historical places which are serene.Hampi in Karnataka South India.
Love, Love, L❤VE this series! Thank you for sharing! The boys are troopers❣️
Thanks so much Bekina 🐘❤️🙏🏼🇮🇳
This video brought back so many happy memories from my own trip to Jaipur in Jan 2020. Can't wait to see where you guys go next!
Kudos for not riding elephants! I was wondering if you would or not!!! Great video. Brings back fond memories of my trip in 2016!
who cares if they do been use by man for thousands years well look after care for
I appreciate so much you can see and share the beauty beyond the pollution, noise and chaos. We’ve never been to India and I’m not sure we would adapt as easily as you all have, so thank you for sharing the experience. We felt as if we were right beside you!~Cara ❤
Thanks Cara!!
What a journey! The boys are so easy to travel with. Little troopers!👦👶👍
I'm with Tara on this one. John also made a good point. Making memories that's what is all about wether it is in India, in your own backyard or at the dinner table playing games with family/friends on those chilly winter evenings.
Johns eyes sparkle even more when he' s travelling.
Tara, I think you will appriciate your beautiful home even more when you are back in Portugal.
The contrast couldn"t be bigger.
Enjoy making memories.
So true!! Today we are home, and it feels so nice!!
Great video as always - thanks for sharing. If my senses feel overloaded from only watching on my tv, I can only imagine what it’s like there in real life. Stay safe 🤗
Thanks so much friend 🐘❤️🙏🏼🇮🇳
Another wonderful podcast. Elephant situation - I to felt like Tara for a long time then with more life exploration and confirmed by my experiences I realised that my view was narrow. Some are very much honoured and well cared for and indeed would enjoy the lives they have. This came about when I started watching the work of animal communicators on youtube. I witnessed communication from arena performance horses who appeared to be very much loved and cared for at the highest level. They expressed how bonded they were with their owners and that they enjoyed the work they did. Then I looked for this option with other animals and witnessed similiar situations. I learnt to communicate with animals also albeit more modestly and I realised there are many different circumstances and experiences all beings are having. Our role as humans is to step in and protect when circumstances are bad only. ❤ Running wild and free can be a short difficult life and not desired by all. ❤
Life in India is not easy for lower middle earning class. There is pollution in these cities but we don't have money to transform completely into e bikes or electric cars in few years. Cleanliness is definitely a problem Indians should work on.
Thanks for another fabulous vlog, Newbys! I love how open and excited Crusoe and Sawyer are throughout this whole experience. I do believe they will carry on the Newby traveling tradition.
On another note, Tara, I love your boots. They look perfect for long travel days. Can you tell me what kind they are?
Thanks Christine! The boots are Natural world boots, I think a Spanish company.
Exceptional experiences!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
You guys are making core memories!!
Happy travels!!
Hello from Canada. You look like your having an amazing time. Thinking big, exploring and being brave. I love the wonderment in the boys eyes. So glad we are able to tag along and enjoy the videos your sharing. 😎👍🏻
Thanks so much Chris! We appreciate all your love and support. We love having you join us on all our adventures 🐘❤️🙏🏼🇮🇳
10:41 mesmerizing footage of the pigeons! WOW! ~Cara 😮
Really cool video guys 🤗🥰🤗so nice seeing you all having such a great time in such a great diverse country! ❤
It is really, really cool, John. That long shot is a memory shot, for sure. .. Tx for taking us on this journey.
Thanks for sharing your travels, it's a real trip down memory lane for me seeing all the places I visited years ago. What I didn't see was a goat in a jumper - that was hilarious.
You are most welcome friend! We love being able to share all these adventures and moments with you 🐘❤️🙏🏼🇮🇳
A brilliant capture of life on the streets. The colours, the sounds, the smells and the culture are brilliantly filmed with the perfect soundtrack. Appreciating differences and enjoying what we share opens our hearts to new people and new experiences. Thank you for sharing your fantastic adventure.
This was fantastic to watch but never in my wildest dreams would I ever want to go there. It’s amazing to see the boys taking it in their stride and that’s of course following your positive attitude.😊❤ I also like that you share your different views about the elephants 🐘
India has everything to travel
Avoid big city they over crowded
Every city hai own culture here
Thank you friend! ❤️❤️
I like that you explain what we're seeing.
Pls go to udaipur also it is venice of the east with lots of lakes and beautiful temples and palaces.
Wow. I am overwhelmed with the sights and sounds you are seeing in person. Your wonderful musical soundtrack has actually brought tears to my eyes and I am not even there! Thank you for bringing me "along" and putting a small travel bug in my soul. Someday.
Wow, thank you Shannon!!
Of all the world countries I could visit, India would be the bottom of my list. I dislike Indian food and nothing I have seen on other vlogs would entice me there. I would be much happier and contented looking after my Portuguese property.
We appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us friend. Each to their own and we love being able to share these adventures with you ❤️❤️
I have no idea how anyone could not love Indian food.
But who is asking you to come to India😅😅, Yes Yes go look at your Portuguese property, and make sure not to go to Africa your ancestors had done enough damage there
@jamesblevins9059 well that's your opinion, but to my understanding European and food in West is wayy bland and tasteless
@jamesblevins9059 I respect your opinion about food, but portuguese coming to India and forcing native Indians in Goa through inquisition was fun, right? You have dislike for food, but you may not have a problem of christians saying "my god is the only god and my religion is the only true religion" and forcing and killing natives to believe in your nonsense was okay?
I m from Jaipur old city pinkcity your all vedio are very beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Thumbs up Travel Newbys! Enjoying a little taste of India (that's not curry 😂) through you! Stay safe and healthy my friends!
Thank you Claire! We appreciate all your support 🐘❤️🙏🏼🇮🇳
Thank you for showing me India through your eyes - not a country for me too many people but great to see it as a tag along viewer.
I am an Indian living in the UK and I too went to India in December. My voice got choked and I had a runny nose all the time. Me and my husband were discussing how difficult it will be for Crusoe and Sawyer with this level of pollution.
The biggest problem in India is that nobody really cares about the pollution and it is never quite.
Wow what an adventure. Lots of pollution but so unusual architecture and so busy! Bet you will be so happy to get back to your home though with clean air and beautiful lawn and flower gardens. Thanks as always for the different glimpse of life in India 😊
Actually you don't know anything about india, because Western media never see the true reality of india.
We are home at last!! Very happy! 😊
We noticed that Indian media seems to also have strange biases. I’m not entirely sure that the media you receive is 100% true either. For example, most Indian newspapers refer to pollution as fog, and suggest that you guys can build a resistance to it over time. This is absolutely false. As you cleverly pointed out, we should all be at least a little sceptical about the news we receive. Thanks for watching friend.
Wow! I’m impressed with your dedication! Watching this episode scares me! 😮😂
Thanks so much Margie! 🐘❤️🙏🏼🇮🇳
I didn’t even like Times Square in NY! 😆
Hi John, Tara, Crusoe and Sawyer……gosh what an assault on the senses this weeks India vlog is……I know that this is a place I absolutely could never go to, as I could not in any way deal with the noise, crowds, traffic and animals, as I so much prefer peace, quiet and solitude in comparison, but I admire greatly your enthusiasm for all you see and your approach to it all and with your boys in tow. I can however marvel at all you are seeing and thank you for sharing it with us. Best wishes and ❤ Julie 😊
Thanks Julie! ❤️❤️
Great video. Love seeing the adventures you choose and how you define you time to make it special not only for mum and dad but also the boys. I appreciate you each explaining your feelings on certain aspects of travel, guides, food, sights and activities. And even that you don't agree. Very refreshing view of travel. Please excuse me if this is a naive question, but what is the difference between riding a camel and an elephant? Looking forward to each episode of your fabulous adventures! (Though I am still recovering from the rats?😳)
Thanks so much Eileen 🐘❤️🙏🏼🇮🇳
My dear friends, I was afraid to watch these India videos because I am afraid to travel. But I found that going with you I am safe. Watching you made it a wonderful experience to see all the wonders of places I will never see otherwise. I was afraid for you a lot of times. I was imagining what you were feeling privately and suffered for you. I have been worrying for the strength of your bodies, seeing how taxing travel with little children is. When I saw one of you carrying BOTH children I was praying for your spines. I found out, in my life, you actually can use up body parts. We think we are always strong enough to do what we need to. And we can! However, later we may find that we use up too much, too soon. That's why I pray for your precious bodies. No one told me to ease up. Then my body told me. John, you have been given one lesson about this. Respect and be gentle with your body. The payoff is more life in your old life. I am very proud of you and your accomplishments. I love you and all you give us. But my dears, take good care of yourselves. No one else will.🖖
No way... Too dirty too busy.... I'm totally ready for the countryside
Literally u have bean sized brainzzz 🤣🤣🤣... Grow up kid...
"A moving tapestry," a beautiful way to describe what you saw, Tara. I could definitely see that. Stay safe guys.
Thanks so much Vicki 🐘❤️🙏🏼🇮🇳
Air pollution and NOISE that would drive me insane. The honking of the vehicle horns is just terrible! 😢
So enjoying 'our' time in India without the humidity! Thanks for sharing
Bom dia, estou a adorar viajar pela Índia com vocês. Sem querer fazer qualquer julgamento, só queria referir que não vi esses sentimentos em relação a montar o Camelo...Vocês são uma família adorável e os meninos uns amores...💌
Thanks Alice, yes there is something a little different about a camel, maybe?
Tara, I stand by you.. such lovely creatures, gentle giants. I love the multitude of tiny doors. Maybe John can add some to the gate, or if all have a balcony on the new house, have tiny doors to peep out of.
❤️❤️🙏🙏
What makes camel riding different from elephants? Just trying to understand. Love everything thing about your videos on both channels.
That's a good question Paula, we don't know the answer to that one. Thank you for your support 🐘❤️🙏🏼🇮🇳
My Concern... would be for the > Homeless Children 🧒 < in India VS. the Elephants. 🐘
(At least the Elephants are being cared for. (Home/ shelter / food, exercise and a purpose. ) > They sure Love their Animals.
While the children on the streets.. lack a stable home or a shelter and some of them have no family ties. They are easy victims of abuse and inhuman treatment,
and are often engaged in petty theft or prostitution for economic survival. >> 100000 children remain homeless and on the streets of India. Priorities.
You are brave doing that trip with the little ones! What a great eye opening it will be for them when they look at photos or videos of themselves walking among monkeys, goats, elephants and more, in later years!
Tara, I ❤ your opinion and agree 100%. Animals are not ours to paint up and ride around on. I would prefer to see an elephant in the wide living free as all animals including humans should be.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us Kimberly, we appreciate all your support and love 🐘❤️🙏🏼🇮🇳
visit south of India and kerala back waters and goto north east for snow and cool weather, deccan for other views
Thank you for NOT riding the elephants❤
Thank you for NOT eating cows and buffaloes @oddache. At least the owners care for their elephants like children and don't eat them. And frankly the elephants are just WALKING! When there are no tourists, they are made to walk for hours on the highway as exercise. And the weights of the humans on them are miniscule for them.
I wish they HAD ridden the elephants. Crusoe would've loved it.
And if no one takes these elephant rides out of (misplaced) concern, what will the elephant owners earn and what will they feed their elephants?
I remember one elephant owner's wife making these huge chapatis of jaggery and wheat on an open fire in Jim Corbett park. She told me first my children (meaning the elephants) will eat, then we will eat.
India perhaps the only country in the world who has a elephant spa in Kerala.
Yes well done for not riding the elephants. Needs to be stopped. Such amazing animals need to be treated so much better.
Wow, the same people who eat all sorts of animals
@@sagarnehra2981 How do you know the people commenting eat all sorts of animals? Veganism is so widespread these days, you have no idea who does and does not.
I'm happy to see India through your eyes. There is no way I would want to be with so many people, animals and air pollution.
India is not for weaklings anyways
I am so much on the same page as you Tara ❤️🕊❤️
Thank you for sharing your family travels! I see both sides in the elephant discussion, for me personally I'd rather see them free & wild however they did look majestic in that setting. Wishing Greatest Blessings & safety on your travels Newbys!

You are very very brave…..❤️🕊❤️
Thank you friend, we are doing our best to be brave. Thanks for always supporting and commenting on our videos 🐘❤️🙏🏼🇮🇳
Once again a delightful vlog teaching me about India’s cultural richness. Thank you.👏👏👏
When you say about ethics it's funny😂 because you ride a camel 🐫 in previous video now saying about ethics when it come to elephant 🐘. Did ethics tell every animal have different ethics. Foreigners 😂😂😂
I think it’s about how the animals are trained, and the environment they live in as they work. A camel is mostly found in a desert setting, an elephant naturally in the countryside too. Good challenge. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.
Travel changes you in such a good way. The fact that you are brave enough to take your children is monumental. Loving the videos. My daughter has visited India but I do not have that desire. I would rather view it from the tv with editorials. I have visited other places so I'm a traveler but not to the extent you are.
Thank you Toni 🐘❤️🙏🏼🇮🇳
Loving seeing your Indian experience and thanks for sharing. For Crusoe , Sawyer and yourselves to look back on is truly amazing guys. You did it, well done you 👏👏🐘.
Thanks Alison! And we’re back on the farm!!
Fantastic absolutely loved the detail of filming the real atmosphere-great family x
Thank you so much!
I’m not upset…your choice is so commendable. Thank you.
Loved the whole experience. Thank you so much for sharing your family, experiences, and thoughts. Well done.
🙏🙏❤️❤️
This was so much fun! John is so right about traveling for the memories. We loved Jaipur and it was so fun to see some of those wonderful places again. We decided not to ride elephants also but did ride camels when the chance arose in Pushkar, go figure.
So great to see you visiting the same sites we saw 25 years ago. Just an aside, our youngest only ate sweet and sour dishes while we were in India. If there was meat served he had sweet and sour chicken. I there were no meat he'd eat sweet and sour veggies, for 4 months. Oh well, he lived and has great stories to tell. Good job on giving us such a real slice of what India is really like.
❤️❤️🙏🙏
I’m with John, it really is just cool! That has been their culture for. Forever. I don’t believe in taking a persons culture away any more than I do in animal cruelty. There is no winning that way. Each one has to come to the realization of oneness by themselves…it can’t be forced because that doesn’t work ever. I Have a special love for the Indian people and have enjoyed this journey very much. There is something so absolutely charming about Sawyers smile and laugh!! Gets me every time.
The boys are wonderful travelers because you’ve never been afraid to take them!! Lucky lads, those little guys!!🤗🤗👍👍💖💖🙏🙏
❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
You beautiful souls!!! blessings from india💐 you people are amazing .Just stay happy n blessed
I visited India many years ago … The elephants in the palace brought back many memories ! I now have to go back to my old pictures and see where I was when we rode the elephants in the Palace . thank you for your complete trip to the rat palace…. I know I don’t have to go there now !!!❣️
Thanks Susan! Have fun with those photos!! So cool!
Kids, feeling VERY old viewing this,….the noise is exhausting….Enjoy….take care.
Thank you for watching this episode Geraldine, we appreciate your support 🐘❤️🙏🏼🇮🇳
Very cool! Thank you for letting us know about all of it.
Thanks so much for watching friend 🐘❤️🙏🏼🇮🇳
