Thanks, amitatlp. I guess we have a choice in the way we look at the world - I choose to look at it with compassion and positivity. Thanks for stopping by to say hello.
I have to say that place looked like some mediaeval little neighbourhood in modern world! You have a old lady selling knives, you have vender at the side of the road selling snacks, cultural hand made travel notebooks, then you have some duded randomly playing local instruments, wow.
I grew up near this place. Thanks for the kind words. It’s been like this for the last 30 years or so that I have seen it, so looks like we have struck a fine balance between traditions and tourism. Do visit Pushkar ❤
I have to admit as a traveler it's nice not to turn around and see another westerner every five minutes. :) I'm not sure how deep I'm actually going though. I'd like to go a little further. Thanks for dropping by.
I was there for 2 weeks last month and home now on the Gold Coast and just came across your blog,so blown out to see all the places you filmed are the same places that we saw,actually brought one of those Home made note books off that guy, my neice lives around and down the street from the Sikh Temple,she called her house ' Uluru House' ,you most likely walked past it Wayne,we loved being there but we are both 76 so 2 weeks in India was suffice. Mate you are a terrific blogger, keep it up mate,so good Ed.
The dal laddu shouldnt me more than 25 rs as per kg was 540 rs but its very healthy in winters . Its made up of chickpea powder( besan) nuts ghee and most importantly Gond( natural gum) which prevents heart stroke and good for lactating women. You got the good price for handmade diary.
Thanks, shublabh Being new to an area one can never know and just hope you don't pay too much more. I'm OK with a little "tourist tax" but it does help when people like yourself give an insight into the product and cost.. Appreciate the information.
Fantastic to witness someone embracing life to the fullest, regardless of age or background! It's incredibly heartening to see you, a seasoned traveler, fearlessly exploring and enjoying street food in India. Your adventurous spirit and open-mindedness truly showcase the unity of our global community. Your vlogs are not just entertaining but also inspiring, reminding us that the world is boundless, and experiences know no boundaries. Keep up the great work, and keep spreading those positive vibes!
You've got quite relaxed and easygoing way of presentation which makes your videos interesting to watch. Love them. I am as well overwhelmed by the style of your PLEASANTRIES and POLITENESS.
Sorry to say but as an indian I suggest those vendors not to overprice the product seeing the traveler from other country, So that tourism grows. And I really like your video they are full of simplicity and purely genuine !
It s feel really good when people like you really appreciate our diverse nation. I have a sincere suggestion for you please do visit India's ancient architecture you would be amazed How India was much developed technologically when rest of the world ware depends on hunting for food/daily needs..
1 tip when buying anything in India take help of local(educated ones) they will help you in real price some of the shopkeeper takes big price seeing a foreigner also ask them to reduce the price that's how we Indians do if he says 50 then ask him for 30 he was will you At least in 35-40
I think you're right. Having a local friend would surely make the buying of things much easier. Having local knowledge of things is certainly an advantage when traveling. Thanks for the advice, samip.
5:49: The smiling young man is Sozi Ram (34 years old), rather good ravanhatta player, and, behind him: Pappu Ram (another musician). Thank you for the video
Indian sweets are expensive, if they are made well It might well be approx. 30 Rs. Lets say 25 laddoos fit in a KG then. So 1 laddoo is 40 Gm , 0.04 * 540 Rs = 21.6 ≈ 22Rs
I think entire state of Rajasthan is very interesting and unique. Some other places of interest in this state, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Udaipur, Jaipur YT videos I have seen. There are beautiful ancient temples with intricate carvings.
Thanks,Jff. I'm writing this on my way to the bus station to go to Jodhpur today. Rajasthan is indeed a very interesting part of India. Thanks for dropping by.
New to your channel Wyan(pls correct me if i mispronounced), love the way you intereact with locals and especially amazed at your passion and energy (considering your age,dont get me wrong pls) and in other video where i saw you were bowling with a good run up and medium pace! Given your # of subscribers , makes me believe you must of have started vlogging recently and I wish you all the best!
Hi prr, thanks so much for the kind words, and yes, I'm new to vlogging. I would have liked to warm up and come in off the long run to see if there was any pace left in this old man, but thought better of it - don't want to bring the travels to early end. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it.
Some of the best street food - Sev Puri, Dahi Batata puri, pani puri, Pav Bhaji, Chhole bhaturay, indo-Chinese, Lassi, kulfi, falooda etc. If you get a cold/flu get you a Mysore sada dosa with sambar.
Sir, had been following your vlogs for last three days. I am really impressed with your simplicity and kind hearted nature. I am happy that you mostly are meeting good people, except the laddu guy who insisted on paying first and charged you may be more. Best wishes for rest of your India visits.
Looking forward to your visit to Punjab, sir! Please do let me know when you're planning to explore this vibrant region. And remember, if you encounter any challenges or need assistance during your time here, don't hesitate to reach out. I'll be more than happy to lend a helping hand. Safe travels, and see you soon in Punjab!
Hi TravelingEddie. I appreciate your encouragement and will certainly try to get things going a bit more on TH-cam. Thanks for taking the time to say hello.
@@fiascodagama1 You're welcome amigo 🙏🏻😎. If you stay for a 3-month period in India and do daily or every other day vlog uploads, you'll surely get more traction and especially if you interact with Indian 🇮🇳 people in those vlogs.
I haven't tried couch surfing, although I know others who have and had pretty rewarding experiences staying with their hosts. I don't have any plans to do it myself in the near future however.
If people are good enough to watch and comment, it's the least i can do. However, as more videos get uploaded I'm unsure if I will be able to keep up. Ha! We will try.
Where are you in India now? Or when is your next plan to bring India? I want to tell you that you have to must vizit there will be visible where India lives.
Yeah, as I've kind of mentioned a few times now, I understand there will be times where I'm paying a "tourist"tax", because I don't know the price of things, but I'm not going to let 30 or 40 cents spoil my experience, that would be a bit petty. Cheers.
I wouldn't bargain with that old lady, street vendors like her who don't have a store, probably very poor, trying to earn for the day living. Unless they quote totally insane price. And that guy who wanted the money first must have seen your YT id and thought, you are poor and have no money !!
@@fiascodagama1 ask everytime to give like 100gm/ 50gm whenever you buy sweets. Most of snacks/ sweet owners give you free for tasting first and if you like then only buy it. Between, take help of someone who speaks bit of English before your final buy. This time it's 100 next time buggers won't hesitate to change 1000 bucks. Ping me anytime if need help. God bless
You are really calm and patient about everything. Ignoring the imperfections and focusing on positives. Love your personality!

Everywhere you turn there's something of interest or different to see. Pushkar is a great place to travel.
That is why this place is very interesting. I hope they keep it that way.
I grew up near this place. Thanks for the kind words. It’s been like this for the last 30 years or so that I have seen it, so looks like we have struck a fine balance between traditions and tourism.
Do visit Pushkar ❤
The lady offered the knife for 50 ₹ & the guy who came to translate helped her sell it for 100₹ !
Ha, that's not surprising. I'm sure there are many other occasions I'm missing out. Thanks for letting me know.
Shouldn't have done that
Very few foreigners go this deep in India 👍🔥
I have to admit as a traveler it's nice not to turn around and see another westerner every five minutes. :) I'm not sure how deep I'm actually going though. I'd like to go a little further. Thanks for dropping by.
Dude I don't know how I got your video in my recommended, but I've binged a few and have to say you're a really wholesome guy. Subbed🤙🏻👍🏻
$1.80 AUD for a stainless steel knife seems like a pretty good deal, Everyone seems really friendly in Pushkar :)
Everyone is really friendly here, and really laid back, Great place!
About $1.20. USD
Awesome to see this too! Loved Pushkar, special place ❤
Now, Pushkar is a place i want to get back to, TK. I really liked also.
U r so hippy 1970s Aussie... love it

Dal laddu is correctly priced. It’s a very expensive real estate in a tourist area with really high rents.

Thanks for the tip. I'll have a look at the area.

Hi, UrielCopy. That's really kind of you to say. Thanks for dropping by.
Welcome Rajasthan
Its called purchasing power parity sir. The prices of goods in india are much much cheaper so the Indians have more purchasing power.
I agree. But even for India I found this particularly good value.
@@fiascodagama1 PPP wise, as per Wiki : 1.China , 2.USA , 3.India
Welcome pushkar
I am from Indore. If it happened to be on your travel list, feel free to write. The cleanest city of Indore is known for savories and bazaars.
been digging your videos sir. keep going 👍
Cheers. Appreciate you watching.
Welcome india
7:25 Holy, 50 rupees for a laddoo. These cost around 10-15 rupees in shops like this all across India.
Dryfruit ladoos or nutty ones go upto 100 per piece, and during Diwali instead of kilograms sold in range of ₹500-1000 per dozen.
INDIA IS 3RD IN PURCHASING POWER PARITY IT MAKES ALL GOODS CHEAP IN INDIA.
I found things in the Pushkar market particularly good value. Thanks for commenting.
You're a very Shanti gentleman. Keep doing your best and get more traction on TH-cam in Incredible India 🇮🇳😎🙏🏻👍🏻.
Hi TravelingEddie. I appreciate your encouragement and will certainly try to get things going a bit more on TH-cam. Thanks for taking the time to say hello.

Check out "Dr alone" restaurant rooftop. Super chill spot with the best view of the lake and mountains.
Thanks for the top.
Hello 🎅 Santa... When will u visit pushkar again... Any plans
Hopefully in the new year.
If yu visit any sweet shop and ask 1 or 2, It always over price, Ask for 100 grams or 200 Grams, which makes it [retty reasonable.
Thanks for the tip.
Have you tried Couchsurfing?
I haven't tried couch surfing, although I know others who have and had pretty rewarding experiences staying with their hosts. I don't have any plans to do it myself in the near future however.
Pushkar is land of lord Brahma and lord Brahma is creater of world Pushkar have only single temple of lord Brahma in Bharat
Hi user-yb. Pushkar is a very spiritual place which is quite obvious when walking around.
@@fiascodagama1 yes sir Pushkar is a holy place for Hindus
I see you're replying to every comment. Great job!
If people are good enough to watch and comment, it's the least i can do. However, as more videos get uploaded I'm unsure if I will be able to keep up. Ha! We will try.
Do travel South India also
I hope to get there.
💜💐🇮🇳💜💐💐
Thanks for dropping by to say hello.
Welcome 🙏
Thank you so much. it's lovely to be here.
best thing in india is communication is easy everyone knows english
You're right. With so many people speaking English it makes for an easier trip.
Good to see you sir..where you have been??
I've only just arrived in India so haven't been to many places just yet. thanks for saying hello.
Indian cities are thousands of year old. So sometimes you will feel like time travelling in past.
It can feel like you're stepping back in time, that's for sure.
Where are you in India now? Or when is your next plan to bring India? I want to tell you that you have to must vizit there will be visible where India lives.
Value for the knife was five or fifty max
It was worth a hundred to me. Ha! Thanks for dropping by, rajeevjain.
@@fiascodagama1old lady ask 5rs but you misunderstood 500rs. Those speak English with tourist place are mainly cheaters.
Any plan to travel to Mumbai?
I think I will be passing through on my way south, but not completely sure just yet.
Visit in Gujarat Ahmedabad many more items for free for you becouse you are a guest and see our hospitality
Hi hiteshkataria. I'm in Ahmedabad now and you're right, the people of Gujarat are indeed very hospitable.

Hey, great to meet you two the other day. Thanks for saying hi.

You sir, shall be remembered for your kindness. Welcome 904, ankurbara. Thank you so much.
@@fiascodagama1 watching your Nepal videos right now. Visit Nepal again sometime.
₹50 for a laddoo is too much. Laddoos cost ₹ 10-15. You got bugged.
Yeah, as I've kind of mentioned a few times now, I understand there will be times where I'm paying a "tourist"tax", because I don't know the price of things, but I'm not going to let 30 or 40 cents spoil my experience, that would be a bit petty. Cheers.
@@fiascodagama1 true though. Try to enjoy every bit of India.
@@fiascodagama1yes eventhough you are paying overprice, its your idea to not let it spoil your travel experience is important.
50 Rs / for A Laddu ?!!! Thats A Rip Off , Knife , 100 Rs ?!!! God ...
Lady offer you knife only for 50rs the guy told you to give 100rs .
Can U buy me one book for me
They're very well priced, I thought.
I wouldn't bargain with that old lady, street vendors like her who don't have a store, probably very poor, trying to earn for the day living. Unless they quote totally insane price. And that guy who wanted the money first must have seen your YT id and thought, you are poor and have no money !!
Yes, I agree. I don't want to bargain with people over a few cents when we're only talking about a couple of dollars.
You are being ripped off.
Knife 50 rupees was suffice.
For ladu maximum 30rupees
I understand I paid a bit more than I should have. But it's hard to know the price of things if you've never been here, I guess.
@@fiascodagama1 that's true!
@@fiascodagama1 ask everytime to give like 100gm/ 50gm whenever you buy sweets. Most of snacks/ sweet owners give you free for tasting first and if you like then only buy it.
