Wow! I take my hat off to you. Wild horses wouldn't get me to drive through Delhi. No wonder you were tired after your ride to Agra. Your warnings about keeping a close watch out for what is going on around you is very useful. Might be difficult to tear my eyes away from all the things I am seeing. When is your next video?
Gabi I see all blogs of your india visit and I realise that you show only poorest and dirtiest part of india....even in this video you you visited in old Delhi and shows only dirtiest part and when you are at India gate u don't cover that area and yes It is also a matter to see that on one side you did not get the entrance gate in RED FORT and other side i see auto (tuk tuk) was running inside the fort in your video but u don't say anything about this.....this shows your unbiased thing which u want to show about india in your videos 🇮🇳🙏🏿
@@kundanbharti421 Being from the West, we aren't interested in modern-looking cities and their features because they aren't new to us. This is a travel vlog, so it's not showcasing your country's development; that's a different topic. As a travel video it's going to appeal to what is different for us, and that is the culture and the old cities are the best for that, and for contrast. We realise and appreciate that India has developed massively and is still developing rapidly particularly in IT and manufacturing. But there's a way to go as well. I hope Modi is still putting proper sewerage systems into the country areas for instance. Nobody finds Indian toilets in the backwaters interesting, so they don't get shown either. He's not going out of his way to show anything humiliating. He shows modern hotel rooms. But they aren't new to us. The hotels that have older features are the most interesting to us. OK?
are you going to highlight posts that call women c**ts in your next video? I can't wait to find out...seriously! You revealed yourself to be a woman hater and rather stupid. How about the staging of the 'theft' of your bike? It was so fake yet you do anything for clickbait. But highlighting that post reveals you to be very shallow and the so called spiritual trip to be a sham. If you had any decency at all you'd apologise.
Hello Gabi , please don't drink any water or juce or any liquid which is not packed... In India we are accustomed to this, but you will have stomach problems... So please. Much love from India 🙏
Went to India in 2003 and it was a complete shock, noise, smell, people, traffic etc. but once you return to your home country you realise you have changed and never see the world the same way. India changes you for the better!
But it's sad you probably live in a country that is poorer then india. I can 100% vouch you are from poor country no way anyone with enough money will have complexity against poor.
Totally relatable. A black guy from my firm often complained (mostly legitimately) about racism etc. everywhere here in the States. At the time in early 2000s, our firm was bringing up an office unit in India, and so they sent him there to India for a few weeks. He came back, completely transformed 😂😂. After returning, he was like "Man, as bad as this (America) is - I feel so blessed to live here. That sh*t [India] was something else". For some reason, it was just hilarious to see his transformation.
I've got chronic back pain, so allowing me to see all the sights of another country without having to travel is a godsend. Thanks for sharing your travels, much appreciated ❤❤❤
india has HIMALYA DESERT BEACHES WATERFALL ETC GREAT HISTORIC TEMPLE $ MANY OTHER THING.... but some sterotype people only think india is only delhi mumbai tajmahal
@@RS-le3hy well it was always my dream to go “there” but besides the dirtiness and chaos, what has completely deterred me from ever going is the way they treat women “there”. All the girls gang raped and kill lately… so yeah you are right I will definitely never go “there”!!!!
Massive culture shock visiting India for the first time, but the bigger culture shock is coming back home. You see your own country with fresh eyes and you're never the same again ❤🇨🇦
Citizens from most countries, except ones from warzones, should visit India so when they come back home they will appreciate their life and country more lol
@@ledanglovestfu peasant i m Canadian and have been to India , you aint know shit , India is incredibly amazing and a life changing experience you get when you visit there, especially on the spiritual side , so gtfo
I have backpacked India 7 times on my own and of the 50+ countries I have been 2 it's my no1.The area around the railway station in Kolkata is far crazier than anything New Delhi has.India is absolutely fascinating the strangest inexplicable things happen for no apparent reason India changes you.I went with a boatman at dawn on the Ganges in Varanasi, that experience will live with me till the day I die
Namaste Gabi, I am a second generation Indian/Hindu born and living in Cape Town South Africa. I have been watching your motor bike journey through North India. Thank you for sharing in such a Sensitive, Thoughful, unjudgemental way. Your openness indeed allowed you to experience the essence of what it means to be a spiritual human being. A young man after my own heart. Love and blessings to you.

I find it really amazing you guys go to other countries you haven't been to and just being able to navigate the streets and just having the courage to travel alone. Amazing 👍💓
I don't know why but many Indians guys feel a horrible embarrassment about recognizing that Delhi is a horrible and chaotic City. One of my acquaintances from India told me that Delhi was as modern and functional as New York. Ridiculous that comparation.
There is no embarassment because the whole chaotic thing is false ..you only see chaotic when you go old Delhi parts which is highly dominated by Muslim neighbourhood. It is like saying East London is the main London
@user-fb1ei2er2i I met a Chinese and he told Shanghai and China are the most developed but they still dont want to leave US and go back home. You know what I mean 😂
What you got in 150 rupees is a English speaking guide And a rickshaw puller man. My country amaze me always when I see my people serving tourist with so kindness and open heart. 🙏❤️
@@leopardtiger1022 good joke bro worlds 5 largest economy no. 1 in population but still here more then 10-15% population is millionaire 5%billionare 30% upper middle rich and 40%lower middle 10%in poverty but still due to large population still india is luxurious and rich in many things
@@ashishp3 I agree I love India it is a good place to retire with savings as SBI gives 6 %interest on fixed deposit, nowhere in Europe or USA you can get that kind of bank service. What I love in India is freedom to live any way you like no one questions you about your clothes or life style so simple life style is beautiful for our warm climate. And of course the variety of foods sweets tropical fruits... Only problem can be adulteration in food stuff and hotels serving foods. And of course I love our temples our culture. But fir young people life is hard in India unless they have political connections or goonda connection to make a living. That's why young Indians try to go out to any country to make a living. As an old man I love India as my needs are so little.
Poverty, chaotic, dirty, and under- developed. How can this country become a superpower? No way! People are argumentative, caste system,corrupt, bureaucratic you name it that is what India is.
Been 6 times in the 80s. Always started my adventures in Delhi. Would go south along east coast then up the west coast. Then into the mountains. Miss going. Love India. Always felt welcomed. Felt like home. I live on the west coast of Canada, and i just cant handle the plane trip anymore.
Romanticizing poverty is wrong but i do appreciate the resiliency of the indian people. I've seen many videos of india much worse than what i've seen here and my heart goes for every one of them.
India shows how resilient human beings are and how people can be happy even when they don't have much. Makes me realize the issues I face living in a first world country is just my neurotic, never happy mind. I have tremendous respect for the people of India, especially those who live in poverty.
Though i don't live in India but it always amazes me when outsiders visits some of the oldest parts of the city and expect it to be modern and organized. And cherry on top, Most of these vloggers goes to OLD DELHI (which has seen thousands of years of civilization) and mention that as NEW DELHI.
I’ve been to New Delhi & parts of old Delhi. New Delhi is wonderful & modern and generally clean. Yes traffic is crazy. I seriously do not know why these type of vloggers only show the dirtiest, poorest parts of old Delhi and disingenuously pass it of for all of Delhi and I find the same goes for Mumbai, all they show are the slums. It’s so repetitive. There’s a lot more to Delhi and India in general. It’s a mix of ancient & new. Having said that I find that Indian vloggers do a better job and show more interesting places with a lot more information.
The smog in New Delhi reached hazardous levels on Thursday November 3 2022. Smoke from thousands of plant fires in northern India combined with other pollutants to create a noxious gray silhouette that enveloped the slum city. The level of the most dangerous particulate matter - PM 2.5, so small that they can enter the bloodstream - was 588 per cubic meter as of Thursday morning, according to monitoring firm IQAir. These levels are nearly 40 times the daily maximum recommended by the World Health Organization. IQAir rates the overall pollution level as "hazardous". "This is really the worst time to be out in Delhi. One never wakes up refreshed with this pollution," police officer Hem Raj, 42, told AFP. In 2020, a Lancet study linked 1.67 million deaths due to air pollution in India. "There is no doubt who has turned Delhi into a gas chamber," he added. "I have been here for a long time and the situation is getting worse. We spend 8 to 10 hours on Delhi roads every day and it is difficult because pollution affects everyone," said Brij Lal, 54, another police officer.
Can't thank you enough. In 48 hours I will be in Delhi on my first visit to India. I start at the Sun Star Heritage Hotel, move on to Jaipur and then to Agra, Delhi and Up to Jim Corbett National Park before flying home. I particularly liked the look of the Red Fort and Old Delhi. Wish me luck!
@@diverseindia6397 I'm back in England now after an absolutely stunning holiday, better than I could ever have hoped for. I saw palaces, forts, the Taj Mahal and tigers in the wild spread over 18 days and I have some wonderful photos to remember my trip by.
@@10harryspurs awesome. I'm a 59 year old American and went to India on a whim a few years ago and absolutely loved the craziness of it all. Went back 3 more times in rapid succession! Amazing country and people, I recommend it to anyone. Glad you had a good time. I'm off to Vietnam in 3 weeks, never been - I love traveling now.
A far less chaotic choice and more pleasant - first land in Bangalore, Hyderabad or Chennai or Kochi. Stick to the south , South India was never invaded by a bloody Mongol from Fergana in Uzbekistan whose descendants raped 100 million women. Delhi will leave you with a bad taste in the mouth one really needs to be from this part of the world to realize where NOT to Go. Certainly not Taj Mahal which is built by a rapist invader.
I went to Delhi a few years ago for surgery, but had my last day free so I went to the Lotus Temple (was ok) and then India Gate (awesome!) and finally some museum that had many ancient musical instruments, My taxi driver for the hospital was very entrepreneurial and became my guide. He wasn't the cheapest but he did a great job so I didn't mind paying more than the "typical rate". People before I left for Delhi told me that cows were everywhere but instead dogs were everywhere. Roads were crazy bumpy but in New Delhi (government area) roads were smooth as butter. Well, of course! Only complaint was very spicy food and I cannot eat chili but found a few things I could eat. A unique experience.

@@indiasuperclean6969 there must be a different India then the one that I went then, because it is all of the total opposite then what you've discribed... I went for work and I will never go back again even if you pay me !!! If it is sooo awesome as you say why is it that is ti that everybody is moving out to other country???
I was in Dehli in 1995, a single 45 year old American woman traveling alone with a backpack and a Lonely Planet guidebook. I stayed in Chandri Chowk, directly across from the Jama Masjid. It was the start of my 3.5 week India adventure and was a proper introduction to the chaos that is India. Looking at your videos and some others, I see a lot more modern buildings and even big skyscrapers, but the street chaos, the crowds, the poverty, the sidewalk dwellers, the cows/monkeys and dirt are still the same. Still the most insane traffic conditions I've encountered anywhere on earth, and to this day I don't understand why lorries and other vehicles sport lettering that says "Please Use Horn". Indians use the horn instead of brakes.
I was in India in 1994 (I’m from UK). I had work with Sheraton hotels. In Delhi we were offered a car and driver. I had a copy of Lonely Planet, made it my mission to see everything I could; Humayuns tomb, Safdarjang tomb, Qutub Minar..it was all wonderful and unforgettable. Since then I’ve had many trips to the subcontinent, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

Ha, yeah man! Delhi is crazy. My 2nd day in India I was walking in Old Delhi and Red Fort, totally not prepared for the insanity but it's a good insanity. So good I went back to India 3 more times and saw Jaipur, Jodhpur, Agra, Mumbai, Nashik, Pune, Kolkata, Lucknow, Varanasi, Ahmedabad, Surat....all the cities are so cool and filled with amazing people and food. LOVE India! I'm American by the way.
This is the reply of a truly intelligent man. Avoid Shithole places in any country - if you see North East India Darjeeling, Gangtok, Dimapur, Guwahati they are very different and a lot cooler and wetter than Delhi.
I was shocked and awed in a similar way when I first came to the US. I went to the times square and just marveled at the sight. It felt like I was in the heart of western civilization. There was no filth, everything was clean. There was no dust, no smoke, no honking noise.
it's depends upon what do u want to see luxury or austerity 😊 india has both . we are not develop like others country but we are working on it on day we will be sure ☺️🇮🇳
I've been to India twice before and planning to come next year. It's a wonderful country and I always wanted to go there. It's got the most beautiful people too. The culture is incredibly rich.
What an amazing culture. When I watch these videos I always admire how happy the locals are. Whilst in the west we cry over getting the wrong Amazon package.
It’s one thing to be poor, but why does every city in India look so filthy with garbage and trash in the streets? You can be poor and still be clean. Why don’t they clean up the streets ?
As a Indian im ashamed myself after know what other countrys are like Like i always thought other country are no different since the birth till i saw a vlog video of guy walking through Japanese streets I was like wtf. Their streets are soo clean an nice less pollution less accidents and much better
I like your videos. I went to India in 1998 and my first port of entry was Delhi airport at 12 midnight. The scale of everything was overwhelming, old Delhi was unreal, the poverty was psychologically scarring. I was overwhelmed to the point where I had to scale back my plan of seeing most of India in one month. Also I could not deal with the constant scams and filth in the streets.

I was a privileged naive 20 y.o. from 🇨🇦 visiting New Delhi in 1980. Culture shock is putting it mildly. I was totally overwhelmed by the sights, smells and sheer numbers of people and animals all sharing the same small space. It was the most fascinating country I ever visited and the adult me would love to return.

The India of 1980 bears no resemblance to the India of 2022 the economy has grown from $186 billion to 3.4 Trillion. This Gentleman has chosen a really cheap assed part of a very large city so he really CHOSE chaos. If you come to South India today this will be a very different exp. Most decent hotels in India cost around $75-$100 per night. If you go to cheapest [art of Delhi like Old Delhi you will only encounter chaos. Delhi does have a excellent Metro system(over 200 stations today) and so you really do not need any freaking Rickshaws. I left India in 1988 when I travel its always by Metro or cabs or buses never rickshaws(Tuk-Tuk). Toronto downtown where I live is also chaotic on a Sunday.
@@timdipayanmazumdar1089 I know of what you speak. I have had many brilliant work colleagues from India working alongside me in Canada and family and friends who have recently travelled throughout incredible India! All I really meant was the 20 year old I was in 1980, came from a privileged childhood lived in a nice home in the suburbs, where I knew no poverty, never saw homeless living on streets, never had any issues taking any kind of public transportation, never had to share the road with animals, and everything I experienced was overwhelming to me then.
India is the world best travel experience. Its nuts coming from the west. I love this country. But Varanasi is the worlds craziest city...words cannot descibe
I really enjoy these videos, you strike the right balance with your enthusiasm and common sense. I have been in many of the places you visit, your wonderful videos remind me of my India experiences 30 years ago, both good and bad ❤ / 💔 I feel I'm walking with you through those busy streets. No where quite like India, it is unique. Nothing much has changed, apart from mobile phones. I still carry memory's of India in my heart...think we both have been born there in past life's !

He's alive vibrant and free from their (con-trol), besides the cell phone towers..They keep closing in on our health and freedom Only nature is health. Btw, also look into the true history, it's common sense it's another lie. Just one article: Red Fort in Delhi was originally built by Raja Anangpal Tomar in 1060 AD "they did was only few modifications and the original fort existed even before Mughals entered India." It's obviously false his-story re Red Fort. I was there in '99. Although I haven't specifically looked into the specific true story of red fort. There's much more I can share on that topic, but I don't have time atm.
I remember the craziness of Delhi in 1996. Impossible to forget. You seem really like a good guy , it shows from the way you talk to people and I know you hate haggling for price. Some travellers do it as a sport and it's almost shameful even for a few pennies
I was in India last September, New Delhi is too intense on the senses, very loud, very hot but interesting. The India Gate was all closed to visit as there was some important ceremony, we managed to visit Akshardham, but filming was not allowed:( We had the tour to Taj Mahal which was great, but weather was way too hot and I couldn't enjoy the amazing place as much as I wanted. The food is so so great, chicken masala, paneer tika, the shrimps curry and so on, there is no even one thing which I didnt like. Drinking only bottled water is a must, no exceptions, stayed 7 days and no stomach issues. Banlgalore was my other city I visited and the nature there is so much tropical. Would love to go to India again!
40 years ago, China and India has similar GDP. China took off like a rocket ship. The prevailing wisdom was that planned economies run by totalitarians couldn't compete against free market democracies. Clearly that was wrong. India looks like it's hardly changed from when I went to high school there.
who says china is plannned economy....well we can also argue about the totalitarian government, as a chinese... i rather say chinese governmet is a centralized government with meritocracy based selection (yes not election) system.
Though I live in India...Gabi , I still love watching ur travel videos in India...amazing.. Well, India may look poor but its rich rich n rich in culture, heritage, ethics, values and d spiritual base for entire universe
What use is this richness of heritage culture ethics values spirituality etc when you cannot maintain it. It's for namesake. Indians are considered as the dirtiest people with no discipline and respect for property,law and order n others. It's falsehood n shameful. Because of this attitude, Indians are treated very badly in other developed countries.....👎😠

This was very entertaining and a great glimpse into Indian culture. I'll be heading there myself soon and I think this was a great video to watch before I did!
I went on holiday to India twice in 2003 and 2004. I spent the first two days in New Delhi before moving up to the Himalayas. New Delhi. It's a fascinating city but there's a downside to it. Human waste is a big problem in a city where millions of people have no access to toilets. In the poorest slums, streets serve as open-air toilets, and even in the nicest neighborhoods some street corners, long used as public urinals, can choke passers-by with a fog of urine stench. I personally witnessed many men just pissing on the pavements - there’s cow, dog, cat and goat shit everywhere. Yes, this is New Delhi!
Hey Gabi, hope you had a great time in our country , with some good and some not so good experiences which you might have taken along with you. Appreciate your honest reactions , but I am quiet sure you had a lovely interactions with people of India and their hospitality. Being an Indian , I can say , you must have surely come across different colours and its shades of life in our country. I really like guests who come to our country dropping down their pre conceived notions and judgements ( good or bad , on any new space ) and explore a now space with open mind . Your vlogs do reflect this approach. Thanks for visiting . Hope you do come again. Happy vlogging .Take care❤🙏
india has HIMALYA DESERT BEACHES WATERFALL ETC GREAT HISTORIC TEMPLE $ MANY OTHER THING.... but some sterotype people only think india is only delhi mumbai tajmahal
Wow. It hasn't changed since I spent several weeks in India in 1995, starting in Delhi and ending up there again several weeks later. I'm a single female and I was in my mid 40's, and traveled with a backpack and Lonely Planet Guide. I went as far south as Kerala and North to Mussoori, and points in between.
Some places are not going to change. They have been that way for hundreds of years. But, what's the fun in visiting modern tech parks and 8-lane highways? We have those too, but you are used to that.
Some people like to see the same old places (Old Delhi) and feel superior. India will have everything. It's like a snake with its tail in the 16th century and head in the 21st century.
It's changed. Now everything can be done online. Like airline and hotel booking. Many new airports, airlines, beggars are almost gone, all type of cars and electronics available , also online shopping
Ti vedo felice in India ed e' la stessa sensazione di liberta' e di sentirsi vivo, anche per me vale la stessa cosa da ormai tanti anni, l'India ti prende ti affascina ti fa incazzare ti fa sentire libero anche con tutte le sue contraddizioni e' un paese dove impera il caos ( non ovunque ) ma dove tutto funziona comunque, poi da nord a sud ci sono ta nte Indie con decine e decine di lingue diverse e migliaia di dialetti,potrei dopo tanti anni di viaggi in India parlare veramente a lungo di tutte le esperienze passate in questo meraviglioso paese da nord a sud.Namaste
Hello dear Traveller.. My God I dont think I can bear all this chaos. Crowds.. Dirt.. But What I really like is the way you tell us what you think.. It is soo friendly and sooo kind too. .. And very much inviting to see where you go next and what you think.. You have absolutely no pretences whatever and this makes your videos so successful .. So enjoyable.. Thank you..
Never been to Dehli but I had two years in Mumbai ten years ago. I understand exactly what you mean regarding the chaos and poverty all ranged around rich areas. I visited the India gate in Mumbai. I'm glad I had the experience and as usual all around the world there was really good people with a few not so nice.
India is not all like old Delhi. In Delhi too there are many good places like Aerocity, Connaught Place, Lutyens.. Better Indian places are Udaipur, Jaipur, Gurugram, Noida, Bhopal, Srinagar, North East India, Pune, Goa, Ooty, Mysuru, Chennai, Kerala
What's up Gabi 🙏🏻😎! I am thanking you for showing that long road 🛣️ to India 🇮🇳 Gate as I just understood how cool 😎 it is and right before sunset. I visited Delhi in 2019 for two days but didn't know about this place and other places to visit. 2 days just not enough. I'm definitely gonna visit India Gate at sunset time. It looks so beautiful. Keep growing stronger 💪🏻 on TH-cam amigo. Jai Hind 🇮🇳🙏🏻🥰💪🏻👍🏾!
I think New Delhi is one of the most fascinating places I've ever been. It's huge and even more crowded than NYC. The sounds, smells are an assault on the senses. The highway traffic crawls because donkey carts, camel carts ride alongside cars and trucks. At night, the highway median has people sleeping shoulder to shoulder in places. But I found people quite friendly and helpful. I particularly liked the red fort and the charity bird hospital
I lived there for 6 months and your video is on point. Great video - it's so real - the good, the bad, and the ugly. I felt the same about New Delhi - the same feeling - crazy, chaotic, and wakening the senses...
India is overall very diverse from inside The crowd, chaos which you see is just a tiny part of that with the rest of the parts being completely difference For example you can experience a silent forest trek in Himalayan mountains with old buddhist monasteries if you go to Northeast india, you can see a version of Tibet in Ladakh, you can see a natural retreat in the mountain valley in Himachal Pradesh You can experience a typical seaside beach in Goa, you can experience the beauty of tropical backwaters in Kerala and a old European town vibe in the city of Kochi You can be amazed to see the flora and fauna of Ooty a hill station in South India + mountain railway ride in Darjeeling, Himachal Pradesh Moreover you can even experience snowfall in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh Better watch the travel vlogs of India made by american, british youtubers like Ride with Gabi, Those happy days, Dannys Gotta world loose!!!! There is a lot of propaganda in youtube these days against China, IndiaActually India is the fastest growing economic power currently earlier it was China!!! Poverty is currently shrinking rapidly as more and more Indians are entering middle class category! India has the fastest growing middle class and currently India is in its transition phase something which China faced in 1990s, South Korea in 1970s! Comparing an emerging typical Asian economic powerhouse with a backward Islamic Middle Eastern hellhole is ridiculousIf you selectively visit North india then I have nothing to say Ladakh Kashmir Himachal Pradesh Sikkim Northeast india South India Andaman islands Rajasthan Hrishikesh No sane person who visited these places would dislike them Slums, dirt are a tiny portion of the entire sphere that is India People say europe is good but there are ghettos in east and south europe Moreover this video is actually old and focussing on kolkata a city near bangladesh and one of the poorest, corrupted places in india That's why I am prefering you to watch the videos on India by western travel vloggers on youtubean Israeli who has travelled all over India, I am not biased and stereotyped like you visting only certain parts of India which are the worst, and regarding economy do a bit of reading, only 15 percentof the Indian population lives below poverty line United Nations is not lying about Indias economic growth Watch international news India is a rising global power
After watching this vlog, I found Delhi’s people are kind, honest and friendly specially toward foreigners. Loved the rickshaw guy. I am visiting Delhi this month and hope to see him near Red Fort. 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Hi from Thailand Gaby. Really looking forward to seeing the craziness of India again via your channel. My husband and I stayed in the Hotel City Star back in 2017 we loved the roof top restaurant watching the craziness below. Drive safe look out for the cows.
Wow 👏👏👏👌👌👌👍👍👍. You have shown the ground realities of Delhi. It's amazing n I loved it. I had visited Delhi maybe 20 years back and it wasn't like this but now I am surprised to see it so crowded n chaotic. OMG it's so challenging to visit it again. I enjoyed it very much n I will have to gain my energy to visit it again in future. Though there is no law n order but it's a lively city accommodating so many people. Regarding long lines for buying tickets. It's always the case in popular cities all over the world eg. Istanbul. I stood for 2 hours to see Topa Kapi castle. Best of luck n happy travelling......🌹☺️
I live in Switzerland but I love India. It's Poetry in Motion & Organized Chaos. Good People, Good Food, Summer, Winter & Rainy season. Population issue will always be there.
that is hard to answer. I was in 1973 in New Delhi and I bought on the Connaught Place Mein Kampf in english translation for the price of 10 rupees. In the evening I read it in my room in the hostel and it was a complete edition. The owner of the hotel showed me a swastika on the wall of the reception and he said: the sign of germany. @@TheOnlyTruthTalker
I remember riding a Tuk Tuk (pedal powered) with my family to the Red Fort. It was total insanity....the noise, the odors, heat, was intense.. The tuk tuk drivers were practically in fistfights trying to get us to ride with them...the throng of humanity was unbelievable.
Hahaha. I had a similar experience riding a tuk tuk to the airport. It was raining and my driver was a complete madman. We were literally hydroplaning and I thought I was gonna die right there and then😂😂
Just to point out that these are not 'tuk tuks'... in India we call them rickshaw or cycle rickshaw. The other vehicles that you may see are called auto-rickshaw or 3-wheeler. 'Tuk Tuk' is the term given in Thailand; not in India. I'd be grateful if everyone could be culturally sensitive.
@@ranamainee7578 if the vehicle was actually unique to India then maybe you could complain. But they were invented in either Italy or Germany and they are used in many Asian countries, with each country using a different name.
@@rzadigi And that was exactly my point...'Tuk Tuk' in Thailand is fine by me; I'm not asking for ALL to be called by one name. But as these videos are of Delhi/India and the comments directly relate to Delhi or India, I felt it best to point this out. Thank You!
Sadly capital is one of the worst polluted areas of India, south Indian cities are better. India has alot of amazing places its just tourists don’t know about it because yeah Delhi is all they know mostly 🥴
Thank you for this interesting video. I think cleanliness has nothing to do with poverty. I think it’s an educational thing starting at the government and it works only when every single person feels and acts responsible. I think India is on of the most fascinating countries in the world, and if they would take care of their trash problem , maybe it will be one of the most beautiful some day. I wish you all the best.
Yes, Cleanliness doesn't relate to Poverty. It is related to the person's mindset. People must clean themselves & surroundings and be more hygienic than Only India would be at least better to explore. Idk why Indians are so irresponsible regarding hygiene/cleanliness issues, they let all burden slides on Govt. soldier!!!
Honestly it feels great to see these hate comments about India.. why? Because they reflect how jealous the world is about India's progress and booming economy. Yes, we like the comparisons with US & China.
Like your video and also like your humanity Gabi, you are giving respect to every man by saying them Sir and I also like that whatever you were eating you were also giving to the tuk tuk man. I never had a chance to visit Delhi but want to visit it. Good work and God blessed you and had a nice stay at India
The Red Fort looks stunning, even with all the chaos around! Have you managed to visit during a festival or special event? Must be quite an experience!
Your videos are great. However, as a Delhite myself I'd like to say that Old Delhi is just one of the many districts of Delhi City and living in this city for 30+ years I've been to Old Delhi only twice ! 😅 a visit to Old Delhi area is a sensory overload that I can't handle.
Whether it's Old delhi or Mumbai... it's not the issue of Chaos. It is the issue of Cleanliness and hygiene. Why don't people understand that common sense language rather than abusing foreigners. They posted what they saw. !!
Thanks the video….I know I will not had chance to visit India again…..the last visit to Mumbai was 30 years ago when the company I work newly build ship past India heading to Singapore from German, I had chance to in Mumbai for few days.
Do you have a plan to visit Kolkata during exploring India? Though You missed the Durga Puja (UNESCO Heritage) but still you will have a lot to explore like St. Paul Cathedral, Victoria Memorial, Indian Museum, Botanical Garden, the great Coffee House! and many more.
This video seems to focus on congestion and cleanliness issues, but that’s only part of the picture. Central and South Delhi, along with areas like Gurugram and Noida, offer a very different experience with well-maintained areas, green spaces, and modern infrastructure. New Delhi is diverse, and it’d be great to see a more rounded view that highlights both its challenges and its many vibrant, clean, and well-planned areas!
I love seeing places like Chandni Chowk. In the movie Rajma Chawal one could see a lot of the old architecture. I visited the Red Fort and Lotus temple (almost burned my feet), ate Langar in the big Gurudwara, have to see Akshardam some time. These new malls are impressive to see in India and worth visiting once for a nice coffee or special meal, but not as interesting as the old places with their old architecture and bustling markets and local food. That lentil omelet looked really good:)
@@princevashishth9831nah definitely more than 50. Look at Mumbai, which is always pulled by Indians as the example for how great India is and put it next to Shanghai or whatever Chinese city.
@@UtubeisevilActually, I did watch a few vlogs showing the developed regions like Noida, as well as some clean and civilized regions like Sikkim. They are decent places, but they only consist a tiny portion of the country. Can you imagine the whole country achieved this level of development? I mean almost every corner of all the cities, big metropolis or tier-four cities, are like Noida; and all the regions in the countryside are like Sikkim. If you have difficulty imagining that, go to visit China! China is precisely like that.
@@YanxiLi-d3f What do u mean by civilized? U think chinese who live under boots of CCP and eat bats are civilised? U completely missed Chandigarh, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad etc. The cleanest city in India is Indore and it has more than 2 million residents in metro area itself. And most NE and Himalayan states are like sikkim, ever heard of Himachal, Meghalaya, Uttrakhand etc get out of ur little well u live in, India had indus valley civilization with planned cities when u ppl were living in huts, colonisation caused destruction but we will reach back to our potential without getting rid of babies , abusing the global trade rules and destruction of culture unlike China
Every foreign tourists keeps roaming around the Pahar Ganj area and then forms an opinion about Delhi. Even local Delhi residents don't usually go there. As a Delhi resident I have not been to Pahar Ganj in years. We only have to pass through it if we have to catch a train (that can be avoided also). Every foreign traveler, stop roaming around Pahar Ganj and Old Delhi and formalize an opinion about Delhi. I am sick of these Pahar Ganj videos.
But these are all tourist attractions; they are looking for historical sites not a fancy destination.. it’s normal for tourists to go to new places they are going to form an opinion based on their experience

Wow! I take my hat off to you. Wild horses wouldn't get me to drive through Delhi. No wonder you were tired after your ride to Agra. Your warnings about keeping a close watch out for what is going on around you is very useful. Might be difficult to tear my eyes away from all the things I am seeing. When is your next video?
Gabi I see all blogs of your india visit and I realise that you show only poorest and dirtiest part of india....even in this video you you visited in old Delhi and shows only dirtiest part and when you are at India gate u don't cover that area and yes It is also a matter to see that on one side you did not get the entrance gate in RED FORT and other side i see auto (tuk tuk) was running inside the fort in your video but u don't say anything about this.....this shows your unbiased thing which u want to show about india in your videos 🇮🇳🙏🏿
@@kundanbharti421 Being from the West, we aren't interested in modern-looking cities and their features because they aren't new to us. This is a travel vlog, so it's not showcasing your country's development; that's a different topic.
As a travel video it's going to appeal to what is different for us, and that is the culture and the old cities are the best for that, and for contrast.
We realise and appreciate that India has developed massively and is still developing rapidly particularly in IT and manufacturing. But there's a way to go as well. I hope Modi is still putting proper sewerage systems into the country areas for instance. Nobody finds Indian toilets in the backwaters interesting, so they don't get shown either.
He's not going out of his way to show anything humiliating. He shows modern hotel rooms. But they aren't new to us. The hotels that have older features are the most interesting to us. OK?
I don’t understand, you aren’t from India but you have an Indian accent ...
are you going to highlight posts that call women c**ts in your next video? I can't wait to find out...seriously!
You revealed yourself to be a woman hater and rather stupid. How about the staging of the 'theft' of your bike? It was so fake yet you do anything for clickbait.
But highlighting that post reveals you to be very shallow and the so called spiritual trip to be a sham. If you had any decency at all you'd apologise.
Hello Gabi , please don't drink any water or juce or any liquid which is not packed... In India we are accustomed to this, but you will have stomach problems... So please. Much love from India 🙏

Went to India in 2003 and it was a complete shock, noise, smell, people, traffic etc. but once you return to your home country you realise you have changed and never see the world the same way. India changes you for the better!
That is true! I was there for two months, about the year 1984. I was homesick all over the world, but never there.
Well it's 2023! A lot has changed!
You realized you don't really have much to complain about back at home...
You write,
As an Indian , Yeah .. India , Pakistan , Bangladesh are crap
Seeing India makes you realise how great your own country is😂. You feel greater appreciation for your homeland.
😂
But it's sad you probably live in a country that is poorer then india. I can 100% vouch you are from poor country no way anyone with enough money will have complexity against poor.
I had that experience
Totally relatable. A black guy from my firm often complained (mostly legitimately) about racism etc. everywhere here in the States. At the time in early 2000s, our firm was bringing up an office unit in India, and so they sent him there to India for a few weeks. He came back, completely transformed 😂😂. After returning, he was like "Man, as bad as this (America) is - I feel so blessed to live here. That sh*t [India] was something else". For some reason, it was just hilarious to see his transformation.
India best contry in the world you America no good.

I don't know why but many Indians guys feel a horrible embarrassment about recognizing that Delhi is a horrible and chaotic City. One of my acquaintances from India told me that Delhi was as modern and functional as New York. Ridiculous that comparation.
🤣
There is no embarassment because the whole chaotic thing is false ..you only see chaotic when you go old Delhi parts which is highly dominated by Muslim neighbourhood. It is like saying East London is the main London

@@ashishp3 I agree I love India it is a good place to retire with savings as SBI gives 6 %interest on fixed deposit, nowhere in Europe or USA you can get that kind of bank service. What I love in India is freedom to live any way you like no one questions you about your clothes or life style so simple life style is beautiful for our warm climate. And of course the variety of foods sweets tropical fruits... Only problem can be adulteration in food stuff and hotels serving foods. And of course I love our temples our culture. But fir young people life is hard in India unless they have political connections or goonda connection to make a living. That's why young Indians try to go out to any country to make a living. As an old man I love India as my needs are so little.
Poverty, chaotic, dirty, and under- developed. How can this country become a superpower? No way! People are argumentative, caste system,corrupt, bureaucratic you name it that is what India is.
Been 6 times in the 80s. Always started my adventures in Delhi. Would go south along east coast then up the west coast. Then into the mountains. Miss going. Love India. Always felt welcomed. Felt like home. I live on the west coast of Canada, and i just cant handle the plane trip anymore.
Romanticizing poverty is wrong but i do appreciate the resiliency of the indian people. I've seen many videos of india much worse than what i've seen here and my heart goes for every one of them.
India shows how resilient human beings are and how people can be happy even when they don't have much. Makes me realize the issues I face living in a first world country is just my neurotic, never happy mind. I have tremendous respect for the people of India, especially those who live in poverty.
You are the sweetest… the way you purchased yourself and your bicycle guide food from that vendor… you are so kind❤
Though i don't live in India but it always amazes me when outsiders visits some of the oldest parts of the city and expect it to be modern and organized. And cherry on top, Most of these vloggers goes to OLD DELHI (which has seen thousands of years of civilization) and mention that as NEW DELHI.
foreigners have very little clue about India due to the all negativity spread by biased Western media.
Exactly
I’ve been to New Delhi & parts of old Delhi. New Delhi is wonderful & modern and generally clean. Yes traffic is crazy. I seriously do not know why these type of vloggers only show the dirtiest, poorest parts of old Delhi and disingenuously pass it of for all of Delhi and I find the same goes for Mumbai, all they show are the slums. It’s so repetitive. There’s a lot more to Delhi and India in general. It’s a mix of ancient & new. Having said that I find that Indian vloggers do a better job and show more interesting places with a lot more information.
Exactly. The blog is about, Old Delhi.
The smog in New Delhi reached hazardous levels on Thursday November 3 2022.
Smoke from thousands of plant fires in northern India combined with other pollutants to create a noxious gray silhouette that enveloped the slum city.
The level of the most dangerous particulate matter - PM 2.5, so small that they can enter the bloodstream - was 588 per cubic meter as of Thursday morning, according to monitoring firm IQAir.
These levels are nearly 40 times the daily maximum recommended by the World Health Organization. IQAir rates the overall pollution level as "hazardous".
"This is really the worst time to be out in Delhi. One never wakes up refreshed with this pollution," police officer Hem Raj, 42, told AFP.
In 2020, a Lancet study linked 1.67 million deaths due to air pollution in India.
"There is no doubt who has turned Delhi into a gas chamber," he added.
"I have been here for a long time and the situation is getting worse. We spend 8 to 10 hours on Delhi roads every day and it is difficult because pollution affects everyone," said Brij Lal, 54, another police officer.
Can't thank you enough. In 48 hours I will be in Delhi on my first visit to India. I start at the Sun Star Heritage Hotel, move on to Jaipur and then to Agra, Delhi and Up to Jim Corbett National Park before flying home. I particularly liked the look of the Red Fort and Old Delhi. Wish me luck!
How is your trip going ?
@@diverseindia6397 I'm back in England now after an absolutely stunning holiday, better than I could ever have hoped for. I saw palaces, forts, the Taj Mahal and tigers in the wild spread over 18 days and I have some wonderful photos to remember my trip by.
@@10harryspurs awesome. I'm a 59 year old American and went to India on a whim a few years ago and absolutely loved the craziness of it all. Went back 3 more times in rapid succession! Amazing country and people, I recommend it to anyone. Glad you had a good time. I'm off to Vietnam in 3 weeks, never been - I love traveling now.
@@RedAndtheBlackRocker how was your latest trip to South Asia
A far less chaotic choice and more pleasant - first land in Bangalore, Hyderabad or Chennai or Kochi. Stick to the south , South India was never invaded by a bloody Mongol from Fergana in Uzbekistan whose descendants raped 100 million women. Delhi will leave you with a bad taste in the mouth one really needs to be from this part of the world to realize where NOT to Go. Certainly not Taj Mahal which is built by a rapist invader.
I went to Delhi a few years ago for surgery, but had my last day free so I went to the Lotus Temple (was ok) and then India Gate (awesome!) and finally some museum that had many ancient musical instruments, My taxi driver for the hospital was very entrepreneurial and became my guide. He wasn't the cheapest but he did a great job so I didn't mind paying more than the "typical rate". People before I left for Delhi told me that cows were everywhere but instead dogs were everywhere. Roads were crazy bumpy but in New Delhi (government area) roads were smooth as butter. Well, of course! Only complaint was very spicy food and I cannot eat chili but found a few things I could eat. A unique experience.
Good to hear, it sounds like it all went well.
one day!!

It is a truly outrageously hectic experience. Man, that city is so ALIVE! Absolute must for every traveler.
I was in Dehli in 1995, a single 45 year old American woman traveling alone with a backpack and a Lonely Planet guidebook. I stayed in Chandri Chowk, directly across from the Jama Masjid. It was the start of my 3.5 week India adventure and was a proper introduction to the chaos that is India. Looking at your videos and some others, I see a lot more modern buildings and even big skyscrapers, but the street chaos, the crowds, the poverty, the sidewalk dwellers, the cows/monkeys and dirt are still the same. Still the most insane traffic conditions I've encountered anywhere on earth, and to this day I don't understand why lorries and other vehicles sport lettering that says "Please Use Horn". Indians use the horn instead of brakes.
Well we can't do anything about cows.
I was in India in 1994 (I’m from UK). I had work with Sheraton hotels. In Delhi we were offered a car and driver. I had a copy of Lonely Planet, made it my mission to see everything I could; Humayuns tomb, Safdarjang tomb, Qutub Minar..it was all wonderful and unforgettable. Since then I’ve had many trips to the subcontinent, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

well said mate. been there many times in the last 23 years
I was shocked and awed in a similar way when I first came to the US. I went to the times square and just marveled at the sight. It felt like I was in the heart of western civilization. There was no filth, everything was clean. There was no dust, no smoke, no honking noise.

It’s one thing to be poor, but why does every city in India look so filthy with garbage and trash in the streets? You can be poor and still be clean. Why don’t they clean up the streets ?
Part of Indian nature to be drawn to garbage & trash, make them feel at home.
As a Indian im ashamed myself after know what other countrys are like
Like i always thought other country are no different since the birth till i saw a vlog video of guy walking through Japanese streets
I was like wtf.
Their streets are soo clean an nice less pollution less accidents and much better
There are so many poor Countries in the world, but none of them look quite like this. The lack of hygiene in India is on another level, it's atrocious
SPOT ON!
Unfortunately even in remote mountain towns in Northern India there still trash all over the place. It's really quite disappointing.
I like your videos. I went to India in 1998 and my first port of entry was Delhi airport at 12 midnight. The scale of everything was overwhelming, old Delhi was unreal, the poverty was psychologically scarring. I was overwhelmed to the point where I had to scale back my plan of seeing most of India in one month.
Also I could not deal with the constant scams and filth in the streets.

The India of 1980 bears no resemblance to the India of 2022 the economy has grown from $186 billion to 3.4 Trillion. This Gentleman has chosen a really cheap assed part of a very large city so he really CHOSE chaos.
If you come to South India today this will be a very different exp. Most decent hotels in India cost around $75-$100 per night. If you go to cheapest [art of Delhi like Old Delhi you will only encounter chaos. Delhi does have a excellent Metro system(over 200 stations today) and so you really do not need any freaking Rickshaws. I left India in 1988 when I travel its always by Metro or cabs or buses never rickshaws(Tuk-Tuk). Toronto downtown where I live
is also chaotic on a Sunday.

@Angelika Arkey agree.....have blessed week
Gabi - Your videos/content are amazing. Keep showing people the world and how to treat others with respect and humility!
man you are so kind and try to blend in with the culture i really like your attitude
I remember the craziness of Delhi in 1996. Impossible to forget. You seem really like a good guy , it shows from the way you talk to people and I know you hate haggling for price. Some travellers do it as a sport and it's almost shameful even for a few pennies
Great video! I’m travelling to India in January! I can’t wait!!!
I was in India last September, New Delhi is too intense on the senses, very loud, very hot but interesting. The India Gate was all closed to visit as there was some important ceremony, we managed to visit Akshardham, but filming was not allowed:( We had the tour to Taj Mahal which was great, but weather was way too hot and I couldn't enjoy the amazing place as much as I wanted. The food is so so great, chicken masala, paneer tika, the shrimps curry and so on, there is no even one thing which I didnt like. Drinking only bottled water is a must, no exceptions, stayed 7 days and no stomach issues. Banlgalore was my other city I visited and the nature there is so much tropical. Would love to go to India again!
You have not seen Kerala ❤️
And Hyderabad, Goa

Thank you, Gabi, for your enthusiastic comment on Delhi. I have been there so many times. Always happy to visit India. My best destination.
What a great honest video to give a introductory flavor to Delhi
This is why I love YT so much. People take you on journeys that I would never get to take now. . Thankyou and I will watch more of your videos.
40 years ago, China and India has similar GDP. China took off like a rocket ship. The prevailing wisdom was that planned economies run by totalitarians couldn't compete against free market democracies. Clearly that was wrong. India looks like it's hardly changed from when I went to high school there.
Индия скоро сделает экономический рывок

India has changed a lot. Economy is booming but these videos only show the run down areas.
who says china is plannned economy....well we can also argue about the totalitarian government, as a chinese...
i rather say chinese governmet is a centralized government with meritocracy based selection (yes not election) system.
I was gonna say holy shit compared to China’s futuristic cities -
Though I live in India...Gabi , I still love watching ur travel videos in India...amazing.. Well, India may look poor but its rich rich n rich in culture, heritage, ethics, values and d spiritual base for entire universe
What use is this richness of heritage culture ethics values spirituality etc when you cannot maintain it. It's for namesake. Indians are considered as the dirtiest people with no discipline and respect for property,law and order n others. It's falsehood n shameful. Because of this attitude, Indians are treated very badly in other developed countries.....👎😠
India look beautiful and modren , this is cyber city
Culture doesn't pay. Stop breeding like rats. Improve your corruption and elect good politicians.
I am very very grateful for this video,as I really wanted to see India.after your video,no more.thanks.
He is walking along the wrong side of India.
A black guy from my firm often complained (mostly legitimately) about racism etc. everywhere here in the States. At the time in early 2000s, our firm was bringing up an office unit in India, and so they sent him there to India for a few weeks. He came back, completely transformed 😂😂. After returning, he was like "Man, as bad as this (America) is - I feel so blessed to live here. That sh*t [India] was something else" 😂😂😂😂 For some reason, it was just hilarious to see his transformation.
This was very entertaining and a great glimpse into Indian culture. I'll be heading there myself soon and I think this was a great video to watch before I did!
This isn't Indian culture wtf. It's just illegal immigrants and poor labourer struggling to make a living.
I went on holiday to India twice in 2003 and 2004. I spent the first two days in New Delhi before moving up to the Himalayas. New Delhi. It's a fascinating city but there's a downside to it. Human waste is a big problem in a city where millions of people have no access to toilets. In the poorest slums, streets serve as open-air toilets, and even in the nicest neighborhoods some street corners, long used as public urinals, can choke passers-by with a fog of urine stench. I personally witnessed many men just pissing on the pavements - there’s cow, dog, cat and goat shit everywhere. Yes, this is New Delhi!
Tbh I noticed the same thing in the Himalayas, just on a lower scale.
So, you are telling 20 years old stories😆
India is much develiped and cleaner now except this in video.
Love your channel!! Love India! The colors, the aromas, the energy! Keep the videos coming!
India is an example of survival in spite of dirt, chaos, lack of hygiene and...
It's old Delhi, India isn't just slums

Great video. Thanks so much for uploading. I will be watching the others that you have made.
Hey Gabi, hope you had a great time in our country , with some good and some not so good experiences which you might have taken along with you. Appreciate your honest reactions , but I am quiet sure you had a lovely interactions with people of India and their hospitality.
Being an Indian , I can say , you must have surely come across different colours and its shades of life in our country.
I really like guests who come to our country dropping down their pre conceived notions and judgements ( good or bad , on any new space ) and explore a now space with open mind .
Your vlogs do reflect this approach.
Thanks for visiting . Hope you do come again. Happy vlogging .Take care❤🙏
india has HIMALYA DESERT BEACHES WATERFALL ETC GREAT HISTORIC TEMPLE $ MANY OTHER THING.... but some sterotype people only think india is only delhi mumbai tajmahal
Wow. It hasn't changed since I spent several weeks in India in 1995, starting in Delhi and ending up there again several weeks later. I'm a single female and I was in my mid 40's, and traveled with a backpack and Lonely Planet Guide. I went as far south as Kerala and North to Mussoori, and points in between.
Some places are not going to change. They have been that way for hundreds of years. But, what's the fun in visiting modern tech parks and 8-lane highways? We have those too, but you are used to that.
Because country poor no money but country corruption
Some people like to see the same old places (Old Delhi) and feel superior. India will have everything. It's like a snake with its tail in the 16th century and head in the 21st century.

It's changed. Now everything can be done online. Like airline and hotel booking. Many new airports, airlines, beggars are almost gone, all type of cars and electronics available , also online shopping
How is your stomach so far? The food always scares me there.
So far so good… I lived in India for almost a year before the pandemic… so maybe my stomach is used to it.
Eat at restaurants if you can afford..
It tends to be made in the least hygienic ways
Ti vedo felice in India ed e' la stessa sensazione di liberta' e di sentirsi vivo, anche per me vale la stessa cosa da ormai tanti anni, l'India ti prende ti affascina ti fa incazzare ti fa sentire libero anche con tutte le sue contraddizioni e' un paese dove impera il caos ( non ovunque ) ma dove tutto funziona comunque, poi da nord a sud ci sono ta nte Indie con decine e decine di lingue diverse e migliaia di dialetti,potrei dopo tanti anni di viaggi in India parlare veramente a lungo di tutte le esperienze passate in questo meraviglioso paese da nord a sud.Namaste
Ciao Roberto, si l’India è davvero unica nel suo genere. Troppo affascinante! Dalle tue parole sembra che tu abbia fatto molte esperienze in India 😉🇮🇳
Hello dear Traveller.. My God I dont think I can bear all this chaos.
Crowds.. Dirt.. But What I really like is the way you tell us what you think.. It is soo friendly and sooo kind too. .. And very much inviting to see where you go next and what you think.. You have absolutely no pretences whatever and this makes your videos so successful .. So enjoyable.. Thank you..
Thank you for taking me to India. You spare lots of people trouble flying there, walking in not sanitary places, and showing the beautiful ones
Old Delhi is the smallest part of Delhi, what are your guy's obsession with poverty?
I can just smell Xhit from my screen over here across the ocean.
Never been to Dehli but I had two years in Mumbai ten years ago. I understand exactly what you mean regarding the chaos and poverty all ranged around rich areas. I visited the India gate in Mumbai. I'm glad I had the experience and as usual all around the world there was really good people with a few not so nice.
The Mumbai one is called, " Gateway of India".
Visit Mumbai in 5 years … fastest developing country changes every week

Organized chaos. I was in New Delhi and (Old) Delhi in 1991. Not one thing has changed, especially the crushing poverty.

What's up Gabi 🙏🏻😎! I am thanking you for showing that long road 🛣️ to India 🇮🇳 Gate as I just understood how cool 😎 it is and right before sunset. I visited Delhi in 2019 for two days but didn't know about this place and other places to visit. 2 days just not enough. I'm definitely gonna visit India Gate at sunset time. It looks so beautiful. Keep growing stronger 💪🏻 on TH-cam amigo.
Jai Hind 🇮🇳🙏🏻🥰💪🏻👍🏾!
India Gate was made by British inspired by the French monument
And Kartavya path was adopted by British from Constitution Ave in DC
I think New Delhi is one of the most fascinating places I've ever been. It's huge and even more crowded than NYC. The sounds, smells are an assault on the senses. The highway traffic crawls because donkey carts, camel carts ride alongside cars and trucks. At night, the highway median has people sleeping shoulder to shoulder in places. But I found people quite friendly and helpful. I particularly liked the red fort and the charity bird hospital
I lived there for 6 months and your video is on point. Great video - it's so real - the good, the bad, and the ugly. I felt the same about New Delhi - the same feeling - crazy, chaotic, and wakening the senses...
India is overall very diverse from inside The crowd, chaos which you see is just a tiny part of that with the rest of the parts being completely difference For example you can experience a silent forest trek in Himalayan mountains with old buddhist monasteries if you go to Northeast india, you can see a version of Tibet in Ladakh, you can see a natural retreat in the mountain valley in Himachal Pradesh You can experience a typical seaside beach in Goa, you can experience the beauty of tropical backwaters in Kerala and a old European town vibe in the city of Kochi You can be amazed to see the flora and fauna of Ooty a hill station in South India + mountain railway ride in Darjeeling, Himachal Pradesh Moreover you can even experience snowfall in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh Better watch the travel vlogs of India made by american, british youtubers like Ride with Gabi, Those happy days, Dannys Gotta world loose!!!! There is a lot of propaganda in youtube these days against China, IndiaActually India is the fastest growing economic power currently earlier it was China!!!
Poverty is currently shrinking rapidly as more and more Indians are entering middle class category!
India has the fastest growing middle class and currently India is in its transition phase something which China faced in 1990s, South Korea in 1970s!
Comparing an emerging typical Asian economic powerhouse with a backward Islamic Middle Eastern hellhole is ridiculousIf you selectively visit North india then I have nothing to say
Ladakh
Kashmir
Himachal Pradesh
Sikkim
Northeast india
South India
Andaman islands
Rajasthan
Hrishikesh
No sane person who visited these places would dislike them
Slums, dirt are a tiny portion of the entire sphere that is India
People say europe is good but there are ghettos in east and south europe
Moreover this video is actually old and focussing on kolkata a city near bangladesh and one of the poorest, corrupted places in india
That's why I am prefering you to watch the videos on India by western travel vloggers on youtubean Israeli who has travelled all over India, I am not biased and stereotyped like you visting only certain parts of India which are the worst, and regarding economy do a bit of reading, only 15 percentof the Indian population lives below poverty line
United Nations is not lying about Indias economic growth
Watch international news India is a rising global power
I was there in 2019. Never again! Once is enough. What a filthy crowded place.
After watching this vlog, I found Delhi’s people are kind, honest and friendly specially toward foreigners. Loved the rickshaw guy. I am visiting Delhi this month and hope to see him near Red Fort. 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Make sure you don't restrict your visit to Old Delhi. It's a huge city with many things to explore. ✌️
Not really
Delhi people are rude and dishonest
so, are you back from your trip? please give me a little advice. I'm ready to go
Hi from Thailand Gaby. Really looking forward to seeing the craziness of India again via your channel. My husband and I stayed in the Hotel City Star back in 2017 we loved the roof top restaurant watching the craziness below. Drive safe look out for the cows.
Sounds beautiful
Wow 👏👏👏👌👌👌👍👍👍. You have shown the ground realities of Delhi. It's amazing n I loved it. I had visited Delhi maybe 20 years back and it wasn't like this but now I am surprised to see it so crowded n chaotic. OMG it's so challenging to visit it again. I enjoyed it very much n I will have to gain my energy to visit it again in future. Though there is no law n order but it's a lively city accommodating so many people. Regarding long lines for buying tickets. It's always the case in popular cities all over the world eg. Istanbul. I stood for 2 hours to see Topa Kapi castle. Best of luck n happy travelling......🌹☺️
The amount of litter is amazing..do they have any bins?
I thought the Philippines was bad,its paradise after looking at India.
I live in Switzerland but I love India. It's Poetry in Motion & Organized Chaos.
Good People, Good Food, Summer, Winter & Rainy season. Population issue will always be there.

I remember riding a Tuk Tuk (pedal powered) with my family to the Red Fort. It was total insanity....the noise, the odors, heat, was intense.. The tuk tuk drivers were practically in fistfights trying to get us to ride with them...the throng of humanity was unbelievable.
Lol
Hahaha. I had a similar experience riding a tuk tuk to the airport. It was raining and my driver was a complete madman. We were literally hydroplaning and I thought I was gonna die right there and then😂😂
Just to point out that these are not 'tuk tuks'... in India we call them rickshaw or cycle rickshaw. The other vehicles that you may see are called auto-rickshaw or 3-wheeler. 'Tuk Tuk' is the term given in Thailand; not in India. I'd be grateful if everyone could be culturally sensitive.
@@ranamainee7578 if the vehicle was actually unique to India then maybe you could complain. But they were invented in either Italy or Germany and they are used in many Asian countries, with each country using a different name.
@@rzadigi And that was exactly my point...'Tuk Tuk' in Thailand is fine by me; I'm not asking for ALL to be called by one name. But as these videos are of Delhi/India and the comments directly relate to Delhi or India, I felt it best to point this out. Thank You!
If the capital looks like that I don't wanna imagine how the other cities look like.
Sadly capital is one of the worst polluted areas of India, south Indian cities are better. India has alot of amazing places its just tourists don’t know about it because yeah Delhi is all they know mostly 🥴
Thank you for this interesting video. I think cleanliness has nothing to do with poverty. I think it’s an educational thing starting at the government and it works only when every single person feels and acts responsible. I think India is on of the most fascinating countries in the world, and if they would take care of their trash problem , maybe it will be one of the most beautiful some day. I wish you all the best.
Yes, Cleanliness doesn't relate to Poverty. It is related to the person's mindset.
People must clean themselves & surroundings and be more hygienic than Only India would be at least better to explore. Idk why Indians are so irresponsible regarding hygiene/cleanliness issues, they let all burden slides on Govt. soldier!!!
Love your attitude and how you treat people!
Wonderful !! Thanks, Gabi
Honestly it feels great to see these hate comments about India.. why? Because they reflect how jealous the world is about India's progress and booming economy. Yes, we like the comparisons with US & China.
Keep coping and putting on a brave front... World is indeed jealous over your filth , pollution and smell..so jealous...

Like your video and also like your humanity Gabi, you are giving respect to every man by saying them Sir and I also like that whatever you were eating you were also giving to the tuk tuk man. I never had a chance to visit Delhi but want to visit it. Good work and God blessed you and had a nice stay at India
So true!❤
Delhi makes you prepared for life and it's quite awesome. 😊
The Red Fort looks stunning, even with all the chaos around! Have you managed to visit during a festival or special event? Must be quite an experience!
As an Indian even I don't dare to travel to New Delhi. You must be a very bold person. LOL
that is insane, we really don't realize there are whole other worlds on this planet
Your videos are great. However, as a Delhite myself I'd like to say that Old Delhi is just one of the many districts of Delhi City and living in this city for 30+ years I've been to Old Delhi only twice ! 😅 a visit to Old Delhi area is a sensory overload that I can't handle.
We indians neednot be apollogitic to foreigners view and superficial understanding of our country.
Whether it's Old delhi or Mumbai... it's not the issue of Chaos. It is the issue of Cleanliness and hygiene. Why don't people understand that common sense language rather than abusing foreigners. They posted what they saw. !!
Thanks the video….I know I will not had chance to visit India again…..the last visit to Mumbai was 30 years ago when the company I work newly build ship past India heading to Singapore from German, I had chance to in Mumbai for few days.
Total chaos, the noise, smells everything but what a fantastic experience, everyone should experience it at least once.
Great video, great commentary. It really feels like I’m there with you. Greetings from London. One day I’ll fly over there. One of my dreams.
Your dreams?HA Ha you must be sick in your mind.
India is a country that if it disappeared from the Earth nobody would notice!!
we would notice a decrease in garbage lmao !
No way ,you would notice it
the sheer numbers of people, and the absolute lack of sense of cleanliness is astounding!
Cope with it. India is not gonna change.
Do you have a plan to visit Kolkata during exploring India? Though You missed the Durga Puja (UNESCO Heritage) but still you will have a lot to explore like St. Paul Cathedral, Victoria Memorial, Indian Museum, Botanical Garden, the great Coffee House! and many more.
(unesco is not actually a good org.) India is good, long live Mother India
Only few and talented guys are able to take you from your sofa to another world....great job 👍👍👍👍
This video seems to focus on congestion and cleanliness issues, but that’s only part of the picture. Central and South Delhi, along with areas like Gurugram and Noida, offer a very different experience with well-maintained areas, green spaces, and modern infrastructure. New Delhi is diverse, and it’d be great to see a more rounded view that highlights both its challenges and its many vibrant, clean, and well-planned areas!
Yes true, please Check all my other videos in India 🙏🏻
I love seeing places like Chandni Chowk. In the movie Rajma Chawal one could see a lot of the old architecture. I visited the Red Fort and Lotus temple (almost burned my feet), ate Langar in the big Gurudwara, have to see Akshardam some time. These new malls are impressive to see in India and worth visiting once for a nice coffee or special meal, but not as interesting as the old places with their old architecture and bustling markets and local food. That lentil omelet looked really good:)

They are decent places, but they only consist a tiny portion of the country. Can you imagine the whole country achieved this level of development?

If you have difficulty imagining that, go to visit China! China is precisely like that.
@@YanxiLi-d3f What do u mean by civilized? U think chinese who live under boots of CCP and eat bats are civilised?

Every foreign tourists keeps roaming around the Pahar Ganj area and then forms an opinion about Delhi. Even local Delhi residents don't usually go there. As a Delhi resident I have not been to Pahar Ganj in years. We only have to pass through it if we have to catch a train (that can be avoided also).
