- Having spent a few relaxing days in Jodhpur it's time to continue exploring Rajasthan in India.
Join me in this travel video to experience an Indian Train Journey from arriving at Jodhpur Railway Station, taking the train to Ajmer, and an Ola taxi cab to Pushkar.
I arrive early in the morning to Jodhpur Railway Station to find it is already busy and lots of people are sleeping outside, how they are sleeping through the noise I don't know. After buying some breakfast and snack food for the train journey I watch the dawn as I wait for my train which is running late. When it arrives finding the right compartment on the train proves challenging, and then arriving at Ajmer Railway Station I decide to booking an Ola taxi cab to take me to Pushkar, and finally find my hotel in Pushkar.

Hi my name is Simon, I love to travel and I want to inspire you to leave your comfort zone behind once in a while to enjoy something different, which is why I have decided to vlog my way around the world one country at a time. I hope I inspire you to travel somewhere new yourself, or maybe revisit one of your favourite places.
As well as travel vlogs I will share with you how to get to some of the most beautiful and inspirational destinations on the earth, top travel tips and Budget Buster videos to let you know how much you should expect to pay if you want to travel to one of these destinations for yourself.
I would be delighted to answer any questions you leave in the comments section of videos, or leave a comment to suggest where I should travel to next.

Enjoying your Vlogs...I live @ Odisha...Very funny @ 10:24...little kid shouting...He(Simon) gone mad...Talking with his camera...
i 'm from Kanpur INDIA. u have made Awesome video of Pushkar Rajasthan.
I found that ur videos are very much better than others as there isno extra editings good luck simon nice work
Whenever you find all the cabins dark then talk to TTE(Train Ticket Exaimner) he`d get you the correct seat, you could opt for coupe which has just 2 seats, the one which has 4 seats is cabin-its for a family, coupe is for a couple or a single person.
i hope u had good time in India..visit again
You are very brave Simon. Keep up the good works.
Great journal.
Thank you very much! Not sure I am really brave, but I do enjoy a new adventure every now and again. Glad you liked the video. What type of travel videos do you normally enjoy watching on TH-cam?

Thank u
Bohot aachha
Like ur enthusiasm to see places like India which is good but crowded railway station😉
You should drop by the Ajmer Dhargah (shrine)....
cool
Hello simon, you can easily spot your preferred coach without hustle and bustle... Every platform consists a serial of small displays hanging from roof showing train number and also the coach number beside that particular display... Hope you understand.. Thank you...
Mr BuNNy Thanks for explaining this, I'll look out for that next time! Glad to see you are still on the journey with me, I noticed you were the first to comment on my Relaxing in Jodhpur Video 😉
Mr Bunny.
But sometimes in some stations displayed coach numbers don't match with the nearby coach numbers.
Mr Simon
In this case I would like to suggest you to ask the man in uniform of Indian Railway Protection Force. As you can see, those men of Railway Protection Force are always moving in the platform.
do you come to south india? especially kerala state.
You are an amazing guy, Simon. Respect your Honesty. Love From India
Don't worry ,crazy kid and some people
Nice video, Excellent narration. As requested by you at 8:03 :-) I live in Mysore (Karnataka state, South India) and I like your videos and gives inspiration to make videos which serves as sweet memories. I have traveled most part of India in the past and now i wish i could have recorded some videos like this. (the recording was not that common during those day thou ). Now I don't get time to travel :-(
(Just off the topic, Isn't the Camel fair was already over? May be I am wrong) Good luck for your wonderful journey. Rajastan is really beautiful !
If possible plan a trip to South India too. Cheers !
Mysore is cool laid back and one of cleaner city. Definitely , worth visiting .I come from Indore which is from central India state -M.P but currently I am in US . M.P has both -historical as well as wild life. www.mptourism.com/ -this is offical govt website and it allows you to book govt lodges also . Khajuraho temples depict Kamasutra and then then there are varios other historical sites besides worth watching good wild life adventure Kanha kisli (this is right time to visit) . Karnataka official website kstdc.co/ Besides Mysore, dont miss Hampi and several other site. Then there is North eastern states northeasttourism.gov.in/ so many destionations in India .Even I have just visited southern India and North . Then there is Gujrat . Every state has official tourism website. you should check out official website of each state and they are authentic and not overpriced. check for state owned properties while booking for govt lodging and govt owned hotels and generally they have good lodging facilities but you have to book in advance.
Lovely log as usual...although wish they're a bit longer...can you perchance tell us which other states you're planning to visit?
hello simn you are very strong man. and keep it up god bless u
Vikrant Sharma Thank you for the encouragement. Glad to have you along on the journey with me.
How was your trip to india and what feelings about trip? Are you like indian people, Ford, hotels, train and Indian culture?
You are getting in the groove Simon 😉😉
Good video Mate !!
Great vlogs. Thanks.
Simon,
Loving the video series of your trip to India. It is bringing back many forgotten memories of my visit to Northern India over 20 years ago. I visited many of the same places as you.
I particularly enjoyed this video as it brought to mind the thrill/apprehension of getting to the train station early, buying snacks, finding the correct compartment and settling in. I had forgotten about all the people sleeping outside the stations on the ground and the general hustle and bustle.
I had also forgotten about the list posted outside the carriage and looking for my name on it. I was always amazed and relieved when I found myself on the list.
I can’t remember where I was going to, or from where, but I couldn’t book a sleeper for an overnight train ride as I was told they were sold out for months, so I booked a regular seat. Upon boarding the train late in the evening I found myself in a carriage with every seat taken and the prospect of spending all night sitting upright. I was not thrilled at that idea so I went in search of the ticket collector to see if I work anything out. I was of course of prepared to offer a monetary inducement.
I found the ticket collector and he showed me to a carriage that was full of empty beds and said I could take any one I wanted! I was amazed. I asked if there was a charge and he said no. So I went back to the original carriage and collected my backpack and spent the night stretched out in relative luxury. I did expect someone to come and throw me out but it never happened.
What I particularly enjoyed on the train were the people coming through with tea and peanuts. They called out “moongaphalee, moongaphalee”, Indian for peanut I believe.
The tea was served in a terra-cotta one time use clay cup that was thrown onto the track when empty. I have since seen on youtube a man throwing a 1000 of these a day on a potters wheel! (th-cam.com/video/4a2WmvciUIQ/w-d-xo.html).
Watching your travel blog is making me think about India again. This time I want to travel in rather more luxury than last time and am considering a cruise down the Ganges to Varanasi (www.assambengalnavigation.com/abn-rajmahal).
Keep up the great work Simon and I look forward to more videos!
I am from Jodhpur
Sir I am from India enjoy Indian journey
Hi, quiet adventurous ha!!
In every station platform, there is a display board which show the coach number, so basically according to your coach no. you just have to wait there before your train arrival.
Thanks for coming, your videos are great 😊👌
Correction sir ! Your train was coming from Ajmer and was going to Kathgodam in the state of Uttarakhand (Some coaches are detached from this train at Moradabad Junction in Uttar Pradesh and they head to Ramnagar in Uttarakhand). Kathgodam is way way ahead of Ajmer, 719 km away and this train is pretty slow as well
Sir.. Even gabriel a famous US travellor is in Pushkar now a days.. To attend festival.. U can meet him if u want
Hey simon loved your video .. I live in ajmer only any chances of meeting you
Simon sir , you also try to visit Udaipur because it's the best city of Rajasthan and wish you happy journey
The boy in the alley said why this guy is talking to himself. In between welcome to india
nice vlog man. u can see ur compartment position in your ticket. it will help u from Hustle.
The carriage, ie. coach numbers are displayed on the LED panels on the platform, they could have been a great help, you didn't have had to walk so long after the train arrived, you could have waited after referring to the LED panel showing your coach no.
Hey man welcome to India....
We loce to welcome you in Kerela and Kashmir too.... We love your efforts and we love you.......
Have a great and safe journey inside India....
Why you are not coming to dhenkanal odisha India please
The sound of that kids laugh was damn funny.
😂😂
Nice work man
If got time plz visit north part of india also!!
My thought about you that you are such a spry person
Where are u at the moment? Pushkar?
You must go to Jaisalmer also
Thanks for sharing this useful information regarding cheap ola taxi
Jodhpur railway station is beautiful
Munmun Das night view ajmer station most beautiful
jodhpur station is very beautiful and clean
Why did it end :-(
Simon !! I'm inviting you to visit Bangladesh.
i've been there. nice video
Come to Kolkata.. do Google about it and u will understand y I am asking u to come
Bro you can check seat no. Ariivel time and departure time on your ticket also ..
AC First Class ticket holders are allotted seats on the day of travel. So it is not mentioned on the ticket, one has to check the reservation list for that.
Please visit one time hampi is beautiful temples
U can always use Uber or Ola for ur local drives. U can easily book them through apps and they are nowadays present in most second tier cities in India. Better to avoid those auto rickshaw and tuktuk as they charge notoriously high prices than actual.
i live in kolkata you can take rajdhani express from new delhi and come to this city in eastern india
RyAn FoRmals kolkata is full of bangladeshis
Shajajh Bshdhdh not really
Which train?
Good
These are one of those old ICF coaches
Best place my village goa

@@TravelwithSimon Thank you so much for your reply Mr. Simon.....Sure, I'll be updating you about that.
And let me know when you will be coming in India.
Good luck for ur next Trip 👍
Cheers, kush.
You need try rajdhani express
Nice
Hi Simon Sir, It has been really nice virtual adventure with you on TH-cam and trust me you're really daring and caring person. Being alone and travelling in INDIA isn't a easy job and that too foreigner like you where vendors or chaiwalas or autowalas had a cruel intention to mint more money (not offending my own people just saying the truth) but you're surviving like a man so far so good, i wish you'd your better half or group of friends along with you just to make it more memorable and enjoyable, it becomes more fun to travel with group of friends or family, i've seen so many videos people from around the travelling to explore India mostly with two or more than but you're alone and that's the beauty of it. Love you Simon sir. Hope you'll come back in India with your family/Friends to explore rest of India, I've noticed you visited Varanasi but didnt go to Agra to see TajMahal which is close to Varanasi (about 4 to 5 hr train journey), So do come back and have a look at Symbol of Love "TAJMAHAL" you'll never forget this monument ever. I've seen most of videos of yours so just commenting here cause you asked to as well :P , You''ve learned a lot in INDIA from fare negotiation to avoid irritating vendors, just one request try to get your hands on Hindi as well, at least few hindi words so that you can utilize in your next trip, and i'm sure you'll definitely gonna come back to see Incredible India, there is lot more to see. Thank you for making and uploading such awesome videos and share with us. And yeah sorry about the facilities in India, its still under improvement and we're doing our best, will take some time, but i'm sure it will be better soon. Almost forgot " Welcome in INDIA" :D
Nileshkumar Patel Thank you so much for your kind comments. India is a beautiful country and there is so much to see. I will definitely be visiting Agra and the Taj Mahal before I leave India, thankyou for the advice. I'm so glad to have you along on the virtual adventure with me 😊
New Sub🖐🏻 Them Indian trains are sooo confusing about 100 carriages long.. In UK the inter city trains are carriage lettered, & there's marker signs on the platforms, to help! Then there's no mad panic when it arrives 😩 Like your spontaneous style 😉
its not as confusing as u saw here, perhaps Simon didn't notice but there are digital display markers on the platform showing the coach serial number.
That's because most of the trains are the same trains that ran when the British built them in early 1900s. India has not changed much of its train system since the British left and then India became an Independent nation.
When One Third of the Nation is poor, People have better things to worry about than Quality of Trains. Only now, since the Economic rise of India since past 2 decades, Government is considering upgrading the Trains to modern ones.
Thanks Simon
Sir come in Mumbai
The ending was a bit sudden... 🤔
Also, since you're worried about train timings, there are numerous websites and apps that have these details, including live train status, avg delay, etc. The Indian rlys website www.indianrail.gov.in also lets you find them
Ola is the best Taxi here in India. We locals always use Ola Taxi to get to places, Its basically the Indian Uber. Lol.. At the end of the video that kid, He is alerting others saying - "He has gone crazy talking to himself" XD.
I think he doesn't understand what Vlogging is..
Good Music at 9:24..
4:19 Liza koshy's intro music 😂😂
Hey foreigners use Indian railways apps like NTES to check correct timing and live running status of trains.
Baljeet Singh Thanks for the advice!
IRCTC for train booking and NTES for live train/station status! both are Indian railway official apps.
NOPE never we can use our own sense.
There are other apps like "m-indicator" that also provide live status of trains/bus and other transport modes. It is very handy, and even though I'm local I use it couple of times everyday. Also sorry for getting called "crazy" by that overly curious kid :p
Bro.....am also from jodhpur
Bad you not go jaisalmer
I agree, when I planned my trip to India I was overwhelmed by all the places to go and stuck to a traditional touristy route but its on the list for next time ..
u might have heard it before i guess , but u look a lot like mike myers . just the other day i was thinking about what happened to him ... and then i saw u .. ( kidding and all) .
the last seen boys sad u r mad This is the misfortune of our country Sorry simon 🙁🙁
visit to south india
I'm from puskar
And you all ????
hahaha that kid wearing green pollo is telling his dad that he spotted you a , mad man talking to himself on camera , LOL
Shubhadeep Nath he addressed him as Jamura. Hahahaha😂😂😂. I feel bad for the people who speak like that. I mean these people are our guests and our people miss no chance to scare them off.
It’s fine if the Auto Rickshaw drivers hassle people when coming out of the station, but then when the localites make fun like this, it embarrasses me.
I laughed when he said "dekh pagal adami", wouldn't have much different reaction from me in that age
its a small kid, barely in school. To be fare, someone in house did help the man when he heard the kid making ruckus
10:20 that kid saw someone vlogging for first time and he found it curious and funny to have camera turned up to yourself and talking to it. He calls you , "Pagal and Jamura" which literally means Mad and Crazy.
Ansh Jindal LOL Thanks for the translation, I think he is pretty close to the mark there!
Ansh Jindal
THE Kid shouting at your back, at the end of the video.....Actually its not his fault i guess so..as Vlogging is not so common in INDIA and if they see somebody Talking with the Gadget all alone, the first things that comes of the people mind and Basically most people in India is Very untouched with this style is the Same
It's called Auto rickshaw in India and not tuk tuk
👌👌👌👌
4 Banana's Rs 20/- ? You could get a dozen in that rate. But okay at least you are getting the healthy ones
gambet0007 there is 4 times rates they take in station from passagers
