Hello and welcome to our channel,
We are Reanne and Ben living in Portsmouth, England. We have been together from the age of 15.
We brought our first house together at 23, got married at 25 and Reanne started her own business at 27.
We have been wanting to travel the world so
The day has finally come we have sold our business and and our house to explore as much of the world Full Time.
We created this TH-cam channel to share our adventure with everyone who wants to explore but don’t know how. Let us know what you think of our channel so leave a comment we’d love to hear from you x
Join us on our adventures
Sorry but it’s not only the poor that do the ceremony , it’s actually pretty much all the families that want to cremate the loved ones , it has a huge significance for them
I see. Thank you brother ❤️
Infact among All Indians its the prime destination indeed to complete their final immersion of their dead individual Ashes ...The Holy Place
Poppy is a girl ig
As we Christian go to church every Sunday, hindus also have their Puja on certain days of the week. Eg Lord Shiva Puja is on Monday.
I see ❤️
Not certain day in fact every day , every day is denoted for a deity or deities
Not all hindus pray to gods. Most ancient formal (astik vedic) hindus were in fact atheist but followed DHARMA (rational objective morality) or laws of right and wrong human behavior. Also AHINSA (non violence, non transgressions onto others) is param Dharma (prime Dharam) . Dharma is mandatory for all hindus,... gods and rituals are all optional and personal choice.

That Aarti was a way of saying Thank You to the Goddess Ganga who took a physical embodiment when she descended on Earth.
❤️❤️❤️
Can't pollute it forever
The smoke was a technique called "Fumigation" where gas is used to exterminate mosquitoes and pests.
Oh I see, thank you 😊
Yogic culture says Varanasi is more than 40000 years old. But it has been invaded many times and most of the very ancient stuffs have been destroyedt. Varanasi still has iconographic proof of being some 12400 years old.
Amazing ❤️
Or million years since the time of dinosaurs
You are lucky eaten Indian food. Hope someday I will too eat awesome Indian food.
So nice 😋
Welcome to one of the oldest holy city in the world Varanasi 🇮🇳
Thank you 😊
Dirtiest one also
@@nipurnbandi9114 now it's changing ,you can see the difference in Varanasi in past 10 years
@@Bai-Empire7it's worse.
Welcome, happy stay in India ❤️
Thank you 😊
Food looked amazing loved the colours 😍
So good 😊
Have to love Varanasi, I think probably you go there once, then on reflection you will want to return one day, well that’s what happened to me, and I want to return again….. magical, spiritual holy place…. I love it……❤️ 🇮🇳
💯💯❤️

I think you are visiting Bodh Gaya. Is it ?
The cow was actually knocking on the door because the owner must be feeding her daily. So the cow must have come there for food.
Appreciate you guys
Appreciate you too ❤️
Ganga in the state of Uttarakhand from where it originates is much more clean and blue. You should perhaps go to Rishikesh.
👍 ❤️
Ganga is not water she is mother, she is clean everywhere
@@chaldawalstay in where it's most dirty
@@Q_QQ_Q gladly, dirt is in your mind its people like you who should be banned near her
India is a very huge and diverse country in the world 🌏
28 state + 8 union territory = India (36) 🇮🇳
And many more indian island like Andaman Nikobar, Lakhyadeep etc..🙏🙏
❤️❤️❤️
It's a union
🥰God bless you sir and ma'am 😊
❤️❤️❤️
Welcome to our hometown(Patna)😍♥️
Thank you 😊
ขอให้มีความสุขในการท่องเที่ยวทั่วโลกครับ โอกาศหน้า มาเที่ยวเมืองไทยอีกนะครับ ขอบคุณด้วยหัวใจ❤❤
Lots more content in Thailand coming next week!
You should visit Kashmir:
Srinagar, Sonamarg, Gulmarg and Pahalgam.
Robert Plant sang about it in his Physical Graffiti album in 1975.
Also in February there were many snowboarders who did snowboarding in Gulmarg.
Would love too ❤️
New subscriber loved ur vidoes 🎉
Yay! Thank you! ❤️
When I am in Lahore I have 2 different hotels booked and the names are very simular hope I find them
Yes can be abit of a nightmare with the similar name!
I think the price for the lassi was alright. This is a different kind of lassi than the regular watery lassi, it's far thicker & richer in taste than the regular ones. I was there in 2019 & I paid 100 rupees in the same area. But I would recommend you always ask the price first before ordering, I got scammed a few times too. I live 100 kms east of Varanasi.
Yer thank man ❤️
Take 3AC trains. Much comfortable in this heat and safer.
Look back at our other videos.
Oldest city of the world 🌍.... VARANASI ♥️
❤️❤️
You should have taken 3rd AC or 2nd AC . Sleepers one get hectic even for Indians , mostly people choose 3rd AC , then 2nd and 1st according to comfort and charges
Yes maybe but we quite like trying each and every different train class.
@@OTWD_yt yeah true those are experiences but be careful and rather trying different classes could try different trains like Vande Bharat , Rajdhani etc
@prabhatkarmakar1823 keep watching bro go so much planned!
Please do visit Ladakh, Mumbai ‘ Kerala and Andaman Nicobar islands of India.
Ok 👍
Crazy honking sound 😂
Haha 😂 100%
🔥🔥🔥
❤️❤️❤️
Is this video from before sonkran?
Yes before Songkran we have lots of India content still to get out.
Amazing Video Guys 👌. I Hope you are feeling Better Reanne? I know Ben will Look after you. Thanks So Much for taking us along.🤗🤗☘.
You are always welcome levina 😊❤️
Where did u stay ? U said it’s in description but couldn’t see it
Should be in there now?
Do you use a separate mic or not ?
No we don’t
@@OTWD_yt maybe you should use it. It will help for clear voice and better noise cancellation.
Welcome to my city ❤
Thank you 🙏

I m vlogger
Thanks❤❤❤🌹🌹

The ancient part of Varanasi (called Kashi) was not just a plce of 'spritualism' but a center of learning and science and philosophy, (destroyed by the islamic invaders) . The great muni (thinker) named Sushrut was also doing his research in modern medicine in this city, dissecting cadavers (as there were many cadavers here) and his books on human anatomy, surgery, circulatory system, digestive system, reproductive systems etc were the first of the medical books known to man. HIs book Sushruta Samhita is dated between 1200 bc to 600 bc.
Proper history 🙌
Whole believes are based on fake stories and history
Are you guys back? Adventure continues ♥ Ben was like. I was vlogging here in my past life (Confused) The breakfast bread was not naan. It is called poori. Naan is tandoor grilled, poori is deep fried in oil. Gosh dont ever try that getting on or off the train or bus. It looks so easy but it is not. Its funny getting a train is easier than getting a rickshaw lol
No.these are backdated vids
Yes we are! Lots of india content coming in the next couple weeks !
Still lots to come next couple weeks from 2 more cities
@@OTWD_yt Hey welcome back then. Hope this term is even better than the last one. Given an option would you be able to live in India forever ? lol Weird question.
@@ashishnegi9602 we love to travel we probably won’t live in any country forever. But we will be back in india as guests many time.
in the usa everything is tourist price
That’s why I’m avoiding it 😂
I just came from ganga arti you should have gone there at evening its more convenient and not very hot 😊
Sounds good 👍
Love from kolkata❤
Getting closer 😊❤️

Yes, you are right ❤️

Jai Shree Ram 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

The truck smoking was anti mosquito spray.
I see 👍❤️
Don't bathe in that water. It is considered holy river, but people took 'holy' too far and made that river toxic and unsafe for people to swim. The river was different years and decades ago. I wish government should take action to stop industrial contamination and human waste.
I’m not going too.
@@OTWD_ytdon't do it any river .
Dear Sir and Mam kindly visit Vrindavan and Mathura (Uttar Pradesh). There you'll find peace' and harmony and a lot of happiness and spirituality 🙏🙏
🙏🙏❤️❤️
😊👍
👍❤️
There is no need for anyone to see the dead bodies burning unless you are mentally sick. I went to Varanasi three times, but I have never seen that particular Ghat..
I didn’t intentionally go to Varanasi to see dead bodies.
Or live stream it
🔥🌿👍🏽👍
❤️❤️❤️
🎉🎉🎉🎉
❤️❤️❤️
Why don't you book your ride from uber app?
Uber didn’t seem to work in Patna
nice vlog once again. ❤️
i've been to varanasi just once and wish there was better guidance for pilgrims/visitors.
there is a sequence in which you're supposed to visit the temples etc.
and you need to ask Shiv Bhagvaan for permission before commencing your pilgrimage because it's His city. if you are a pilgrim.
looking forward to your next vlogs.💯
100% ❤️
Oldest continuously inhabited city in the world (at least 5000 years old) even before Ramayana was written. 🙏❤🕉️
I believe that’s Damascus, Syria?
@@OTWD_ytyes . Don't trust these WhatsApp University spammers in the comments. Everything is copy paste spam from WhatsApp forwards .
Always Ask the price first in India, Be it a rickshaw or a vendor
💯 👍
I have seen people who don't know anything about a place thats ok, But knowing the wrong you guys are get award for that.
I don’t know what you mean brother?
Try meditation you feel more clamer and refreshing good for health and mind 😊
Nothing can full fil our desires so learn to clam 😊 and happy 😊 what you have 😊
India is about peace of mind
100% ❤️ apart from the horns lol
There is no poor or rich in death , dear everyone is same in varanasi
True ❤️
Hey iam in VARANASI were are you gonna travel tomorrow let have meet up 😂😅
Patna
Welcome to my city.. enjoy your day.. let me know if you need any help.
Thank you 😊
Bro that breakfast was 100% vegetarian. I guess you found soya nuggets in your curry which you though as non veg.
Ah ok bro thank you 🙏
Dear friends... Why are you doing casual travel in the most ancient cities of Bharat.. we donot travel casually unplanned when we travel with our families and ladies children etc. there are many starred hotels and boats can be hired in the evening breeze.. plenty of flights are there from the airport... You should have visited the largest university Benaras Hindu University and IIT Benaras and reviewed researchers... Careless traveling in India can be a recipe for disaster for foreigners (I have faced many problems in Europe etc as well))... Best wishes...
We don’t spend money, that’s the topic of this channel
If you can pay for them, I'm sure they wouldn't have problem with whatever you mentioned.
Hardly any tourist go to patna. Bihar state is one of the poorest state in India.
Watch the next video you’ll be surprised
And the most unsafe place on india
Patna most unvisited place for foreign tourist. Excited to see your opinion through coming videos
@@ruby-mangalath Bihar is visited by 1 Crore foreign tourists every year
Okay
Don't say Tourists don't visit Bihar
Bihar is ranked 7th in Foreign Tourists Arrival
Be.careful India is absolute beauty
And the worst nightmare at the same time….
Don’t go unplanned travelling this could be a better disaster than titanic itself…
I m native of this city and yet I travel with precautions uh guys should hire guides genuine ones ….
Learn a bit of culture become pro then it would not be a big deal but not only in India where ever uh go uh should plan ur tour wisely
👍👍❤️❤️
In India you pay for peace and silent
👍👍❤️
it is not ganges bro this is a name westerner gave, original name is ganga
Got ya! 👍
Ganga is not the name , it means river . It's like saying chai tea.
Hello❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😂
Hello 👋
Please don't get up on the berths with your shoes on. Others need to use it.🙏
Yes the kid told me off 😂
Happy St George's day
Keep on keeping on guys
Happy St George’s day.
It's Ganga Not Gangas
👍👍
In English, it's Ganges.
Dear Dridgers ..I think before doing the video you should prepare some knowledge on certain spiritual things like now... because if you say I don't know what it is...then it might give you negative review or aggression or might hurt the sentiments of some people.
I’d rather our audience engage with us in the comments. Do be honest. If I say I don’t know about something I’m just ask people to help me out. We don’t pretend to know stuff by Googling it 5 minutes before shooting and forgetting it 5 minutes after. Get the audience involved, all about engagement
Religious places people go to do charity thats why majority local people live their to live off of charity. So, if you are unwilling to do charity or beggers bothers u, it is better to stay away from religious places. It is obligation on hindus to do charity to especially sanyasi.
It is better to go to touristy religious places.
So tourist are not accepted in Varanasi? Doesn’t seem that way to me. It’s full of tourists
They were worshipping the Ganges river. .
❤️❤️
❤ don't follow touts will have all sorts of drama
I don’t normally. Rookie mistake lol but he was good content so I was led astray
Varanasi is for cremation on the banks of ganga river, old people coming to spend their last days and temple vishwanath. It is for those who are follower of hindu religions. It is not a touristy city. As far as scammers goes, be kind to them as regular inflation rising they are finding hard to support their family as you can see penury everywhere. In the west, everything is 10x costly and western govt and companies make heavy profits selling products and protecting 3rd world corrupts gaining blood money.
Unfortunately in 3rd world countries govt and local strongmen rob the majority poors and not pay well for their labor. They wont let you make exorbitant profits by having price control.
You yourself were willing to spend 400rs at start bucks for their lousy coffee but your heart broke giving rs. 150 for lassi.
I know that’s double the price bro and so do you. What’s the relevance in your comments? You don’t like tourism? That’s fine you don’t have too, thanks for watching
Please be extremely cautious when visiting India as a tourist or blogger, especially in light of incidents like the recent case of a moto vlogger (from France)who was raped while sleeping in a tent with her husband. Her husband was also beaten, tied up, and the perpetrators committed the crime as a group in front of her husband 😢
Literally get this comment every single day. I’m not fearful of an isolated incident in a populated I’d 1.3 billion
Are you unemployed or what? Commenting on every india related video the same thing.
Khalistani spotted, opinion rejected.
No, I am not unemployed-thank goodness I am no longer in India 😂. However, I came across a report from The Hindu. While Varanasi is not extremely bad, it's important to note that rape is not an isolated incident there. In fact, there are **86 reported cases daily**. These numbers represent only the reported incidents. According to data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), India witnessed an average of **86 rapes per day** and **49 offenses against women per hour** in 2021.
Stop with the nonsense you are employed to spam anti India rhetoric go get a proper job and a life
You will go to heaven from here but as that man said he knows you from your previous life all go to heaven take rebirth but still dont know where is heaven nowdays places of worship are the best place to scam people
Very true that brother ❤️
Annoying guy in the beginning selling cloth
Yep 👍
Don't be over casual of your narrative...better be more knowledgeable and more clarity on any video you cover
It’s not. Better to ask questions, improve engagement.
If its a very dirty place, poor dirty temple, then what you did for 200 years..!
Huh?
@@OTWD_yt please check our history, you would get your answer, we indian we always welcome people by open arm..We do not criticized any culture, religion, Languages, all 28 states people are brother and sister..🙏🏻

They dump half-decomposed bodies, human faeces and industrial effluent into Ganges River. And the most horrible thing is that the farmers use the river water to irrigate their crops, so these "filthy" stuff go back into the food chain.
It's called 'decomposition', genius. Plant manure IS made of animal feces,since you skipped science lessons.Good morning.
@@essee3984 Thicko, maybe it's a normal in India, but in a civilized country, we don't chuck decomposed bodies into the rivers and let them rot.
@@ButchCassidyAndSundanceKid and where do you think your sewage go to and what happens to the waste? Btw,did you miss the 'Cremation and immersing the ashes' part? Ofcourse in civilised you just bury the bodies underground to rot, making the entire area a wasteland. Were you sleeping when WHO recommended cremating covid deceased bodies and not burying it to destroy the virus completely something that we've been doing for thousands of years but it took a pandemic for the modern world and science to realise it
first of all, we dont dump "half decomposed" bodies into the river. we immerse the ashes into the water.
in christianity you bury the dead bodies into a wood casket, hoping for the dead person to be re-awakened on the day of judgement 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
- the body decomposes over DECADES
- the body releases all poisons, toxic juices into the ground and ground water over DECADES
- you drink from the ground water
- additionally, that piece of land is factually cursed and considered haunted for all times. everyone knows that christian churches and funeral grounds are haunted because sometimes the soul attaches itself to the body if the soul wasnt educated spiritually during its lifetime.
the basis of hinduism is: i am a soul. i am not a body.
and you know what, i dont blame you if you think that hindu cremation rituals are not civilized.
thats because christian media very intensely has been spreading lies, defamation and misinformation.
you make the conclusion why christian media and institutions feel the need to attack other religions 24/7.
