I am an Italian guy who had backpacked around India in 2015, 2018 and 2022 covering the entire country. I just want to say one thing to you. If you showing India through your videos please try to visit all the parts atleast once. Look what I know of India is it has many shortcomings but overall the country is just amazing with such an insane diversity in its geography. The regions of India vary to such an extent with Snow capped ethereal mountains aka the himalayas in the North, vast desert in Northwest, amazing plateaus in the Central region, beautiful sea coasts and tropical backwaters in the far south and mangrove forests in the east. Apart from the geography, India has such a wide variety of wildlife species many of them endangered like Royal Bengal Tigers, Rhinos, Red Panda, Snow Leopard,etc. The country has literally hundreds of different ethnic groups with languages, cultures widely different from each other for example a person of Kashmir looks completely different to a person from Kerala and both of them are again different from a Northeast Indian. Now there are many here who will take an oppurtunity to bash and stereotype India even if you have admired India mostly in the video. So that is not fair. Therefore I have an earnest request to you to please visit Northwest India ( Kashmir- Gulmarg, Pehelgam, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh- Manali, Shimla, Dharamsala, Rishikesh) Northeast India ( Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland) Kerala, Goa, Hampi, Ellora, Madurai, Oooty, Munnar, Doodhsagar. I gurantee you guys Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh as heaven. Kashmir is as wonderful as Eastern Europe with its mountains. Ladakh will seem as some other wordly place. Look I am just recommending this places to you because these are the true gems which are unexplored by many tourists. They fail to get their true rewards of visting India and gets the worst aka the Golden Triangle of Delhi, Varanasi and Agra which is literally shit. The true diversity and beauty of India lies in its remote regions. There are numerous forests and wildlife reserves with a vast array of exotic species.
Finally a sensible foreigner wrote something positive about india. Adding to yours wonderful comment about india, there are 40 unesco world heritage sites in india. There are caves (stalactites, stalagmites and man made), canyons, lush green table mountains. Rugged rocky hills, hillocks and mountains, white desert, cold desert, red desert, active volcano, mud volcano, grasslands, swampy marshland, river basins, river valleys, coral reefs, coral islands, river islands, gorges, glaciers, frozen lakes, frozen valleys, frozen waterfalls, frozen river, waterfalls, cascades, salt and freshwater lakes, ravine badlands, black, white, clay and phytoplankton beaches, gulfs, creeks, ancient Indus valley civilization excavation sites, dolmen sites, dinosaur Fossil sites, prehistoric cave rock painting sites, hill forts, sea forts, river forts, forest forts, island forts, hill palaces, royal palaces, heritage monuments and buildings, heritage hotels and resorts, creepy, mysterious and haunted destinations, national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, birds sanctuaries, wetlands, marine national parks, butterfly parks, vineyards, tulip gardens, herbs and spices garden, diverse species of flora and fauna, diverse cultures, linguistics and cuisines, heritage luxury trains, cruise ships, casinos, super malls, hiking, mountaineering, Water sports, beach sports, aerial adventure destinations. India has everything any tourist can wish in their iteniary but unfortunately western media and vloggers very seldom showcase these aspects of india.
@@dr.sachidulalchanda3134 Ken is not a professional explorer. It is wired to let him go to those natural sites by himself. Plus, those natural sightseeing can be found in Africa ,EU, south america and even Russia. They are not just in India or BY INDIAN PEOPLE.
What makes India unique is not what you described cos foreigners can find them in other countries. Unfortunately, it is those shitty places most tourists go.
@@mr.mastermind4840no it wasn't, it is a 180 degree rotating seat, which needs to be locked, it wasn't locked, he could have asked for onboard staff for help
There are two types of classes in this train(Vande Bharat)🚄 1. CC(Chair Car) 2. EC(Executive Chair Car) Your one (EC) is the premium/first class and CC is the second class And my bro🥲 The seats of EC classes are rotatable You could simply rotate it to the front side of the train There is a switch under the seats
Im so happy with these honest people like that autorickshaw driver. They deserve more than what they earn. You guys give me hope that there is still decency in our world. Hope to visit India next year.
Welcome to India ..... But don't get panic.... Give some time to your brain and body to get adopted here .... Come to winter ....in Summer it's very hot special between April to August.... If any questions free to ask ... Namaste

There are plenty of hidden or lesser known destinations existing in india which not mentioned in the beginning of the comments are more gorgeous than both Switzerland and Germany.

It Has A Dark History...The Mughal Emperor Built this is name of his beloved Wife Mumtaz Mahal when died...Nd She Died By Giving birth to his 14th Child Due to Postpartum Bleeding..nd then he built this Monument...Nd After She died..The Emperor Married Again To One of His Wife Sisters...Nd After Building the Monument by 200 Workers He Chopped Of their Hands so these Workers Can't Build A Similar Structure...So one 1.Its definitely Not A Symbol Of Love 2.It is Made By Bleeding The those Labourers who Worked..

As an Indian, i appreciate that you point out about the trashes and i think no one will offended from that. Sometimes, we also need criticism to improve ourselves.
Thank you for portraying the authentic India. These days, many UA-camrs seem more focused on videos that criticize India, often highlighting only the negative or less flattering aspects.
So cute that the lovely driver calls his tricycle “helicopter”. in such way I know this guy is proud of the service and fair price he is providing and love the job. I always get touched by such ordinary people from every country.
@@KenAbroad Thank you! 2 years ago Mumbai Now New Delhi, let;s see the difference! Question? when did you book the Taj Mahal online. Website says only 1 week before possible. Going on a Saturday Thanks
Hey Ken ,i am Indian living in Nederland watching your videos since few weeks .You are very humble and gentle person and respect for indians .I wish you good journey wherever you are in India.

Great video, Ken. Your enthusiasm as a traveler seeing iconic sights in person for the first time is infectious and I know exactly how you feel. That thrill you feel seeing in person a landmark that you have known through books and films your whole life is one of the things that distinguishes those who love travel from those who don't.
7:55 No no it's very important. Some people still don't have awareness. Another reason is that they don't have proper facility like Dustbins, Trash Collecting Vans etc. That's the basic reason. Govt is stricly focusing on this issue. After some years, Ken you come again and you'll definitely find difference... Welcome to India❤
Nice Vlog 💯🔥 We Indians Always Welcome and Respect The People who Came To india As a Tourist I think You should also Go and Explore North East India 🤗🤟 States like Arunachal Pradesh , Assam etc Etc . Have A Safe Journey 🇮🇳
Very good video once again Ken. Thank you for taking us on your journey. I really appreciate how you approach filming by explaining everything and the respect you give to the people and the places. Regards from Vancouver Canada. 🙏🏻
Dude the seat in the train is not broken. You can actually rotate the seat 180 degrees and there’s a lock in the bottom of the seat that might actually be open so you were able to rotate. 😂
Taj mahal is amazing, but do visit ancient places like hampi, kedarnath, varanasi etc. And temples in south india. And also if you're considering to come to Jaipur (i am from jaipur), do visit hawa mahal, jal mahal, city palace, Amber fort.
Ken, see I told you there are a lot more beautiful places to visit in India and you’re here!! I really love your honest review and taking things positively. And I appreciate honesty of the auto-rickshaw driver. I saw the OM tattoo on your hand and felt good. Keep exploring INDIA 🇮🇳
Actually there are two sides of INDIA 🇮🇳. One is like you. Well educated, disciplined and well to do situations. They like cleanliness. Others are less privileged. They damn give a f..k to cleanliness. 🎉they are busy in earning their livings. 🎉
Thank you for providing us a tour of the iconic Taj Mahal. Being an Indian, I never get to see the Taj Mahal, but folks like you make it more memorable and enjoyable. If I ever get the chance, I will surely walk inside to witness it for myself, as no one is allowed to photograph the tomb from within.
09:26 don't you know your hotel has been burned down, wait "Super VK" to the rescue. That is the most honest man in Agra. No tension, hakuna matata, no worries. "No worry , no hurry, chicken curry". "No women, no cry. No chapati, no chai."
This video clearly highlights the practical issues for foreigners/ first time travellers. There should be clear electronic boards with train names and platform numbers, clear entry points, a board with rhe procedure and an area for information on the platform.
be honest about what you see here ken. even many indians feel the same about flith and chaos. the train which you sitting is one of the better ones. seems like you booked vande bharat which are newer trains. i hope you find better people and we save whatever respect left... have a safe journey.
Took a train from Delhi to Accra 45 years ago what an amazing development ! We sat on banks like in a tin and it was so much fun sitting together with all the Indian people near by. And the train very slow 😊
Hi Ken I am C.K.Philip.J.Swamy I lived in Agra from 1st,April,1978 to 1983 Then Agra was simply simple You seems humane gentle kind soft in your comments too gentle Hope you left India hale and safe I wishing every best in your whole travel God Bless I forgotten to write the very moment I am got down from train my colleagues came to recieve me I handed my luggage with them to place in my room took their by cycle I rode to taj Mahal that is 1st,April,1978 10.12pm,14June2024
I am an extremely patriotic Indian, but the one thing that drags my country down is hygiene and public place cleanliness. Our PM has stressed this so many times, but the message needs to reach grassroot levels, where the challenge is the greatest.
Please visit Kailasa Temple at Ellora Caves in Maharashtra India. It's considered greatest architecture in history of mankind, because the way it was built seems unbelievable for even today’s time. The temple was built at least 1300 years ago. No stone or nothing was added they carved a mammoth Granite rock/mountain with intricate details. The Kailasa Temple is notable for its vertical excavation-carvers started at the top of the original rock and excavated downward. At least 400000 tonnes of stones have been removed in the process. About 7000 workers and their future generations worked for 135 years. One small mistake and you have to rebuild the whole temple because it's carved into the rock without adding anything, that too up to down.
Hello Ken, Thank you for giving such honest reaction, you are not offending anyone it is the reality & we accept it...We as an Indians need to clean our naturally beautiful country literally..we are exploiting nature and everyone here is not aware of that or they take advantage of bad policies...But the mentality of society need to change, we young Indians working on it... I apologize for any inconvenience...
Welcome to India Mr.ken, I am an Indian, I am sorry to say, our India is not a developed country like yours country. But our India is a land of varieties and diversity, it is a small world, here are above 225 constitutional language's, it is divided into many states, each state has it's own language, again each language has dialect, it is also a land of multicultural, so please travel entire India and enjoy,
Development has nothing to do with cleaning. Admit that Indians clean their houses but love filth outside. It takes responsibility and self realization that will contribute to development of country in one way or the other. It don't take much effort to keep garbage in your pocket and dump in the nearest trash can but like I said Indians don't like their hands dirty. Learn and grow from constructive criticism.
FYI: You found no foreign tourists in Taj as most of them like to come here in cooler weather which is oct-march and about the clothing that you observed in taj, there is absolutely no dress code required you can wear anything you like, most locals wear full clothes as its a prevalent dressing style here. Love from Agra ❤
I would rather suggest,pls get a tour guide,cuz they tells the importance, meaning, significance of multiple things... 😮 Visit newly inaugurated Ram temple, Ayodhya....😊
Ken, please compile your videos in German translation/dubbing for your German fans too. It would be really cool to see your videos reach a lot of people in Germany. Danke♥
Awesome video. Beautiful breath-taking view of the Taj! My parents visited the Taj as a young couple with family. Smart in your choice of the time to visit the place. Glad that, overall you had a great experience. For someone who has left India years ago, this is a great opportunity to get acquainted with the historical monuments of this mesmerizing Country again!
I just loved the way how you handled the scammers you met! Generally the foreigners potray a bad image of India and the whole video becomes solely about it. That is not India! If one knows how to handle those "just a few miscreants", then one can get the "Experience". Thank you❤
Sehr beeindruckend! Ich denke gerade an Musiker Paul Horn, der mit der Querflöte u.a. im Taj Mahal ein Album Aufgenommen hat: „Inside the Taj Mahal“. Best wishes 🤘😎🎸
I am watching you first time and your nature of talking and understanding of little things attracted me and i have ended watching complete video and also gonna subscribe the channel so cheers. Have a great time bro ❤
Gratuliere Ken, da dun Uber 300000 abonnentenhast. Zum zweiten mal sehe ich dein Podcast, und langsam verstehe ich deine tempermente und geniesse die Filme auch. Leben zur Zeit in Bangalore.

I remember we had a talk with him regarding our education , colleges and the changes in railways over time . He was very nice guy. Hope to see more people like him in Indian Railways.😊

Just found you and subscribed. Thank you for this. I have been to the Taj a couple of times. I have pictures and videos of the intricate marble work on the walls outside the mausoleum. Just magnificent. You chose a beautiful day to visit. Loved the cloud covering over the Taj on your way out. Looked like sirius clouds. Gorgeous!
🇮🇳 What's India's most beautiful place in your opinion?
📷Previous video from old Delhi: ua-cam.com/video/ljHvX5F81Es/v-deo.htmlsi=CSM30yAIku8PbKi7

6 Shimla
7 Mcleodganj
8 rishikesh
9 fagu

5 Orissa
UP has lot to explore like Taj Mahal in Agra
Fatehpur sikri in Agra
Ayodhya

From July you can come down to UP & Delhi
As it will be monsoon season during that time
So make plans accordingly
Till June you can visit jungles

Without a guide, you only see the building. With a guide you learn all the stories too and detail. A good guide is a must.
You can learn by yourself from avaliable sources
Anyone planning to visit the TAJ, please spend 2 to 3 pounds more and learn the amazing architecture marvels how the TAJ was built.
Why are people offended that he visited Taj Mahal, its truly very beautiful and that's why it is a wonder of the world.
If it weren't for the huge amount of money the Taj Mahal could make, the Indians would have bulldozed it and built a Hindu temple.😂
Ignore those idiots this ain't a Masjid. This is an iconic Marvel. All of us are glad that he visited Taj Mahal.

Stop lying bruh.
@Mohsinreyazmps goto hell
Very good video once again Ken. Thank you for taking us on your journey. I really appreciate how you approach filming by explaining everything and the respect you give to the people and the places. Regards from Vancouver Canada. 🙏🏻
I was in Vancouver in May 2024 for two weeks. Stayed in Cambie. Beautiful place.
Such a humble rikshaw driver.respect to him😊
Respect for auto driver who was respectful to the person
Dude the seat in the train is not broken. You can actually rotate the seat 180 degrees and there’s a lock in the bottom of the seat that might actually be open so you were able to rotate. 😂
Gadhe hai yeh log ..Goroon ko bharat mein aane hi nahi dena chaiye....
How is he meant to know that?
You are not only a good youtuber but you have great communication and sense of humour❤
Visited the Taj Mahal beginning of April 2024. It's on my bucket list. Been there done that 😊
Taj mahal is amazing, but do visit ancient places like hampi, kedarnath, varanasi etc. And temples in south india. And also if you're considering to come to Jaipur (i am from jaipur), do visit hawa mahal, jal mahal, city palace, Amber fort.
14:26 this is how good indians actually are ...only some ppl are bad you just need to avoid them
Ken, see I told you there are a lot more beautiful places to visit in India and you’re here!! I really love your honest review and taking things positively. And I appreciate honesty of the auto-rickshaw driver. I saw the OM tattoo on your hand and felt good. Keep exploring INDIA 🇮🇳
Indians by nature are generally respectful and courteous. Happy to see you bumped into good people and got good services.
Actually there are two sides of INDIA 🇮🇳. One is like you. Well educated, disciplined and well to do situations. They like cleanliness. Others are less privileged. They damn give a f..k to cleanliness. 🎉they are busy in earning their livings. 🎉
Thank you for providing us a tour of the iconic Taj Mahal. Being an Indian, I never get to see the Taj Mahal, but folks like you make it more memorable and enjoyable. If I ever get the chance, I will surely walk inside to witness it for myself, as no one is allowed to photograph the tomb from within.
Impressive scenery, I can feel the happiness on Ken's face,love from China.
This was very entertaining Ken. Loved that driver.
India is known for Taj Mahal ❤
We need to change that.
Bec of Jaychands like you
09:26 don't you know your hotel has been burned down, wait "Super VK" to the rescue. That is the most honest man in Agra. No tension, hakuna matata, no worries. "No worry , no hurry, chicken curry". "No women, no cry. No chapati, no chai."
I just hate such people who talk way too much unnecessarily...all that talk was not needed
@@yournightmare5770 ok Hater.
This video clearly highlights the practical issues for foreigners/ first time travellers. There should be clear electronic boards with train names and platform numbers, clear entry points, a board with rhe procedure and an area for information on the platform.
be honest about what you see here ken. even many indians feel the same about flith and chaos. the train which you sitting is one of the better ones. seems like you booked vande bharat which are newer trains.
i hope you find better people and we save whatever respect left...
have a safe journey.
The tuktuk driver is very honest & nice person...You were very lucky ken.
Ken, i really appreciate your sharing the honest thoughts and respecting the local culure
India has A TON of problems so your honest thoughts don't matter to anyone here...
It was lovely seeing that place close up...thank you for taking us there.
Seems like Agra is much better than Delhi. Less scams, fresh air and beautiful Tan Mahal.
It definitely is. But for any western person it too will be a bit hectic
Took a train from Delhi to Accra 45 years ago what an amazing development ! We sat on banks like in a tin and it was so much fun sitting together with all the Indian people near by. And the train very slow 😊
Hi Ken I am C.K.Philip.J.Swamy I lived in Agra from 1st,April,1978 to 1983 Then Agra was simply simple
You seems humane gentle kind soft in your comments too gentle
Hope you left India hale and safe
I wishing every best in your whole travel
God Bless
I forgotten to write the very moment I am got down from train my colleagues came to recieve me I handed my luggage with them to place in my room took their by cycle I rode to taj Mahal that is 1st,April,1978

I am an extremely patriotic Indian, but the one thing that drags my country down is hygiene and public place cleanliness. Our PM has stressed this so many times, but the message needs to reach grassroot levels, where the challenge is the greatest.
Please visit Kailasa Temple at Ellora Caves in Maharashtra India. It's considered greatest architecture in history of mankind, because the way it was built seems unbelievable for even today’s time. The temple was built at least 1300 years ago. No stone or nothing was added they carved a mammoth Granite rock/mountain with intricate details. The Kailasa Temple is notable for its vertical excavation-carvers started at the top of the original rock and excavated downward. At least 400000 tonnes of stones have been removed in the process. About 7000 workers and their future generations worked for 135 years. One small mistake and you have to rebuild the whole temple because it's carved into the rock without adding anything, that too up to down.
Hello Ken, Thank you for giving such honest reaction, you are not offending anyone it is the reality & we accept it...We as an Indians need to clean our naturally beautiful country literally..we are exploiting nature and everyone here is not aware of that or they take advantage of bad policies...But the mentality of society need to change, we young Indians working on it... I apologize for any inconvenience...
Welcome to India Mr.ken, I am an Indian, I am sorry to say, our India is not a developed country like yours country. But our India is a land of varieties and diversity, it is a small world, here are above 225 constitutional language's, it is divided into many states, each state has it's own language, again each language has dialect, it is also a land of multicultural, so please travel entire India and enjoy,
Development has nothing to do with cleaning. Admit that Indians clean their houses but love filth outside. It takes responsibility and self realization that will contribute to development of country in one way or the other. It don't take much effort to keep garbage in your pocket and dump in the nearest trash can but like I said Indians don't like their hands dirty. Learn and grow from constructive criticism.
This Auto driver wins my heart.... Every auto driver should like him..... ❤
FYI: You found no foreign tourists in Taj as most of them like to come here in cooler weather which is oct-march and about the clothing that you observed in taj, there is absolutely no dress code required you can wear anything you like, most locals wear full clothes as its a prevalent dressing style here.
Love from Agra ❤
You are traveling like you know everything what is going to be happened... You well researched and planned for the journey...❤❤
He's not going to take you to his home. THe auto driver. Cracked me up. LOL
I love ur videos...thank you for showing my country the way it really is which even i wasnt aware about..thanks
I would rather suggest,pls get a tour guide,cuz they tells the importance, meaning, significance of multiple things... 😮
Visit newly inaugurated Ram temple, Ayodhya....😊
आइसेही टुकटुक ड्राइवर की जरूरत है india में फॉरेनर्स के लिए टुकटुक driver को सलाम❤👍👍👍
Ken, please compile your videos in German translation/dubbing for your German fans too. It would be really cool to see your videos reach a lot of people in Germany. Danke♥
Awesome video. Beautiful breath-taking view of the Taj! My parents visited the Taj as a young couple with family. Smart in your choice of the time to visit the place. Glad that, overall you had a great experience. For someone who has left India years ago, this is a great opportunity to get acquainted with the historical monuments of this mesmerizing Country again!
Thank you for sharing the great video, Ken!
Taj Mahal... sooo beautiful 💖
want to visit there someday...😊
I am an Indian but never visited The Taj but today I virtually visited...😂😂😂 Thank you ken.... Love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳
Welcome in India bro
Agra fort is also a visiting site
So finally one more famous person Mr. Ken is here... ❤
Taj is beautiful. I visited many years ago when I spent a month in India. Definitely a highlight. Much more crowded when I was there.
I just loved the way how you handled the scammers you met!
Generally the foreigners potray a bad image of India and the whole video becomes solely about it. That is not India! If one knows how to handle those "just a few miscreants", then one can get the "Experience".
Thank you❤
Sehr beeindruckend! Ich denke gerade an Musiker Paul Horn, der mit der Querflöte u.a. im Taj Mahal ein Album Aufgenommen hat: „Inside the Taj Mahal“. Best wishes 🤘😎🎸
This fellow contineusly speaking without tiring,without taking break
I am watching you first time and your nature of talking and understanding of little things attracted me and i have ended watching complete video and also gonna subscribe the channel so cheers. Have a great time bro
❤
Welcome to the channel 😊
@ 15:10..
Auto driver knows million and half a million OMG this is India.
Gratuliere Ken, da dun Uber 300000 abonnentenhast. Zum zweiten mal sehe ich dein Podcast, und langsam verstehe ich deine tempermente und geniesse die Filme auch. Leben zur Zeit in Bangalore.
The TTE sir on this Vande bharat Train . I have met him on the same route and in the same train . He was a very nice man . I remember we had a talk with him regarding our education , colleges and the changes in railways over time . He was very nice guy. Hope to see more people like him in Indian Railways.😊
Great video. The beautiful architecture, symmetrical pattern and blue sky background remind me of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing.
北京的天坛并没有这么一言难尽😅
Taj Mahal's true beauty can only be experienced through eyes. Neither any video nor any photo can justify the charm of this marvel.
Moving forward in squalor and chaos, India still has a long way to go before it wants to become a country that people respect!
At least india gets more respect than China for sure.

Yes bro people don't have civic sense 😔, they just throw anything to anywhere and it hurts me a lot.
It is only getting worse by the day.... our people are the worst in the world...they would go to any extent to defame the country
Me too
It has improved a lot. You can't imagine how bad it was, when we were kids around 40 years ago.😊
Fantastic Vlog , thanks for showing Fabulous TAJ MAHAL .
17:10 bruh it's a bike. It's name is Royal Enfield Bullet 350 😹.They call the sound ( Pataka). Because of aftermarket exhaust it's sounds like gun shots when you rev hard
Nice driver in Agra, seemed knowledgeable , spoke good English and was honest.
I respect Ken since i have heard he's from Northern Germany. He's the real Englishman, unlike some stupid island which calls itself Great✊🏽✊🏽
🇮🇳🤝🏽🇩🇪🎉🎉
It's so Great that so many Indians emigrate to this little island.
Why do so many come to UK

Just found you and subscribed. Thank you for this. I have been to the Taj a couple of times. I have pictures and videos of the intricate marble work on the walls outside the mausoleum. Just magnificent. You chose a beautiful day to visit. Loved the cloud covering over the Taj on your way out. Looked like sirius clouds. Gorgeous!
Lots of respect to you and love ❤for your vedeos 🙏 Do come again Ken but not alone but with your sweet family....
Thank you 🙏
