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.

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.
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..

@@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
Yea boriya sarh pe le le k station ate hy pessangers to inhi bideshi k phn pe video Jake kharab image jate hain yaar aur road pe itne gandagi kaxhar se v bohut kharab image jate hain 😢😢😢😢😢 kavi nahi hoga yaar hamari desh europ jeixa saf Sutra
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.
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.
You are the first Vlogger who explored Taj Mahal so beautifully and minutely ..Thank You Very much and highly appericiated . The message in the last about dress code was highly appericiated . Last but not the least, your continuos commentary makes to be in hooks to watch the videos...Have a nice stay in India
I went to India twice in my life and went to Delhi and Angara during my first trip. I didn’t have the luck of meeting such a nice and honest tutu driver. Thank you Ken for showing the decency of humanity. Exactly like what the driver says, tourists need a drive and drivers need a job. There is no need for scams and cheating, regardless of one’s income level or social economic status. What a good video! Thank you!
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❤
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.
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.
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. 🙏🏻
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!
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.
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 🇮🇳
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 🇮🇳
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.
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 😊
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."
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.
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...
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
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. 🎉
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!
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.
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.
Hi Ken, thanks for making this vlog about your Vande Bharat train experience. Just one note for next time - you don't have to travel backwards, the Vande Bharat seats are rotatable , so you can decide which way to face.
Hello Ken, you are most welcome in india... you are quite a great UA-camr..... I like your style of Vlogging.... respect you and your country, Germany.... I hope I will visit your lovely country soon.... from next month going to start my career as a UA-camr.... I live in the state of Maharashtra. God Bless You Ken bro
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.
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 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❤
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 ❤
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
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♥
Love you video❤ . Your video made me relive my trip to India and the Taj in 2018 . It really is amazing place . Your lucky there was not many people there . When I went in August 2018 it was packed and August wasn’t peak season either , but there was heaps of ppl also trying to sell stuff and take pictures, maybe after Covid it has changed. Even with all that it didn’t ruin my experience. The Taj really is amazing. ❤ your video where you walk through the gate and see if for the first time was great, it brought back memories for me ! 😅 I been so many famous monuments in the world, but out of all of them I been too the Taj was just amazing for me . There is just something about it. I’m planning to go back the end of 2025 . I wanted to go back in 2020 but with covid it didn’t happen and I decided it’s time to go back. The train you took from Delhi to Agra is one of the new high speed trains in India called the Vande Bharat Express . I’m planning on an India by train trip 😂 that’s how I know the new fast trains. I been researching the trains for my trip it’s not to next year, but I’m planning for at least 1 month around India with the trains. Your video brought back so many memories for me 🙂 Hope you enjoyed India send the video was 6 months ago , are you going to go back and see more in the future? As there is so much to see.
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.

📷Previous video from old Delhi: ua-cam.com/video/ljHvX5F81Es/v-deo.htmlsi=CSM30yAIku8PbKi7
Ladakh is the most beautiful place along with Jammu & Kashmir
You are traveling in UP in this scorching heat rather than move to hill stations like

3 auli
4 kasol
5 Darjeeling
6 Shimla
7 Mcleodganj
8 rishikesh
9 fagu

2 Andaman and Nicobar islands
3 pondicherry
4 Kerala
5 Orissa
UP has lot to explore like Taj Mahal in Agra
Fatehpur sikri in Agra
Ayodhya
Lucknow
Allahabad - triveni sangam
But not this time as it's summer time
You should explore hill stations till June end

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
In

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.😂

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.
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.
You are the first Vlogger who explored Taj Mahal so beautifully and minutely ..Thank You Very much and highly appericiated . The message in the last about dress code was highly appericiated . Last but not the least, your continuos commentary makes to be in hooks to watch the videos...Have a nice stay in India
Thank you 🙏
That autorickshaw guy❤ such great person .. respect for him .. God bless you brother 😊
Just found your channel. I love the passion you have for travel. Like me. This was a great vlog. Always wanted to visit India.
I think the people in Agra are happier than in Delhi. It's my dream to visit Taj Mahal one day.
Agra is a tourist place auto wallah knows good English then common people
I went to India twice in my life and went to Delhi and Angara during my first trip. I didn’t have the luck of meeting such a nice and honest tutu driver. Thank you Ken for showing the decency of humanity. Exactly like what the driver says, tourists need a drive and drivers need a job. There is no need for scams and cheating, regardless of one’s income level or social economic status. What a good video! Thank you!
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❤
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.
Every UA-cam's came to India and get majority of follwer from india
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.
i just wanna hug that Agra Driver. What a man
I love ur videos...thank you for showing my country the way it really is which even i wasnt aware about..thanks
5:00 travel in an economic class and talking about first class 😂😂😂😂😂
EC means executive class😅CC is economic class. Have you ever traveled?
Executive class bro not economic 😂😂
5:50 those are adjustable chairs you can rotate 90°to watch the view from windows
360bro
@@vipulkumar1773 oh I was able to use 90° only Maybe because the person behind me was also using the feature 😍
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.
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!
This was very entertaining Ken. Loved that driver.
Indians by nature are generally respectful and courteous. Happy to see you bumped into good people and got good services.
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?
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.
Respect for auto driver who was respectful to the person
It was lovely seeing that place close up...thank you for taking us there.
Impressive scenery, I can feel the happiness on Ken's face,love from China.
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 🇮🇳
Before there utrakhand.
Stop lying bruh.
@Mohsinreyazmps goto hell
Gracias excelente video saludos desde desde Lima Peru
Visited the Taj Mahal beginning of April 2024. It's on my bucket list. Been there done that 😊
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 🇮🇳
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...
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.
Thanks for sharing Taj Mahal! Is really beautiful!
❤❤❤
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 😊
14:26 this is how good indians actually are ...only some ppl are bad you just need to avoid them
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.
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.
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...
You are not only a good youtuber but you have great communication and sense of humour❤
Fantastic Vlog , thanks for showing Fabulous TAJ MAHAL .
Agra fort is also a visiting site
5:15 that type of seating is introvert's nightmare
Such a humble rikshaw driver.respect to him😊
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
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. 🎉
This is not firts class this is economic class
He's not going to take you to his home. THe auto driver. Cracked me up. LOL
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!
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.
You are traveling like you know everything what is going to be happened... You well researched and planned for the journey...❤❤
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.
Thank you for sharing Ken. The Taj Mahal is very beautiful
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😅
Hi Ken, thanks for making this vlog about your Vande Bharat train experience. Just one note for next time - you don't have to travel backwards, the Vande Bharat seats are rotatable , so you can decide which way to face.
India is known for Taj Mahal ❤
We need to change that.
Bec of Jaychands like you
Hello Ken, you are most welcome in india... you are quite a great UA-camr..... I like your style of Vlogging.... respect you and your country, Germany.... I hope I will visit your lovely country soon.... from next month going to start my career as a UA-camr.... I live in the state of Maharashtra. God Bless You Ken bro
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 😊
Keep going KEN 💪 Good luck 👍 bless u with friends 🧡
Welcome in India bro
Great good presentation of exploring the world famous building Taj Mahal Regards From Manoj Kumar Nishad
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.
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 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❤
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 ❤
When u visit the TAJ, Please Please use a GUIDE.. Ken missed a lot of amazing technical building marvels of the TAJ.
CanNOT AGREE MORE 💯👍
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 like your videos and your opinion about Indian tourist and other places. All the best.
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♥
Love you video❤ . Your video made me relive my trip to India and the Taj in 2018 . It really is amazing place . Your lucky there was not many people there . When I went in August 2018 it was packed and August wasn’t peak season either , but there was heaps of ppl also trying to sell stuff and take pictures, maybe after Covid it has changed. Even with all that it didn’t ruin my experience. The Taj really is amazing. ❤ your video where you walk through the gate and see if for the first time was great, it brought back memories for me ! 😅 I been so many famous monuments in the world, but out of all of them I been too the Taj was just amazing for me . There is just something about it.
I’m planning to go back the end of 2025 . I wanted to go back in 2020 but with covid it didn’t happen and I decided it’s time to go back.
The train you took from Delhi to Agra is one of the new high speed trains in India called the Vande Bharat Express . I’m planning on an India by train trip 😂 that’s how I know the new fast trains. I been researching the trains for my trip it’s not to next year, but I’m planning for at least 1 month around India with the trains.
Your video brought back so many memories for me 🙂
Hope you enjoyed India send the video was 6 months ago , are you going to go back and see more in the future? As there is so much to see.
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.
4:58 - EC - stands for Executive Chair Class - equivalent to first class - in this particular train
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.

Taj Mahal's true beauty can only be experienced through eyes. Neither any video nor any photo can justify the charm of this marvel.
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.
The tuktuk driver is very honest & nice person...You were very lucky ken.
Thank you for sharing the great video, Ken!
Taj Mahal... sooo beautiful 💖
want to visit there someday...😊
Excellent vlog. All the best. Enjoy your India experience.
Thanks 🙏
