- In this video, we continue our road trip through South India as we drive our rickshaw (tuk tuk), Rusty, from Mahabalipuram in Tamil Nadu to Pondicherry (Puducherry). We experience the chaos of the busy traffic and roads - the most crazy and scary being the buses and trucks! We then make it to our destination and walk along the esplanade and beaches with many friendly locals, exploring a few markets and temples, before having a delicious Indian dinner of masala dosa, vada and khichdi.
This footage was filmed in February 2024.

They say if you learned driving in India, you can drive anywhere in any traffic conditions.
I would have to agree with that! 😊
Hi Matt and Caitlin, The Roaming Pickels. make a plan to visit Mysore. It's a cultural city in India, and it's famous for yoga and its beautiful places. From here, you can visit other tourist spots like Ooty, Coorg, and Wayanadu.
Hi 😊 Unfortunately, we didn't make it to these places due to time restrictions however, these places are certainly on our list of places to visit when we return as they look amazing! We did manage to visit places like Thekkady and Munnar which were also absolutely stunning.
That mashed potato like thing is made of semolina and called “Upma” it’s a staple pretty much anywhere in India, more so in south. Generally eaten for breakfast. Pretty filling and savoury. There’s a sweet version also called “halwa”. The Vada is made of fermented lentils and rice flour and then deep fried. Dipped in “sambar”( the red dipping sauce like thing). Sambar is actually mildy spiced lentils stew with vegetables
Thankyou so much for all of this helpful information 😊we certainly had our fair share of Vada during our time in India and we enjoyed dipping it in the sambar. The taste was incredible!
Another fab video with lovely content and music. Looking forward to Rustys progress through South India ❤
Thankyou so much! Glad you are enjoying the videos 😊
I’m still here watching and enjoying every episode! I love seeing the locals waving and smiling as you pass one another. I must show your tuk tuk (rickshaw) to my eldest because a couple of months ago he told me that he wanted to do the same one day. I was like what! Why? But I get it now watching you. Anyway, he and his wife are taking next year off work to travel, and India is definitely on their list of countries to explore.
Thankyou so much for hanging around to follow our journey, it means a lot 😊
The locals were some of the friendliest people we have ever met in our lives, its such a great memory.
Ahh wow that's amazing, I bet they are excited! I know we were when we first started our 1 year off. It was such a great feeling 😊
Impressed with your driving skills❤❤
Thankyou 😊 It's definitely quite challenging at times but we try to be as safe as possible and just take our time.
You welcome to my home and accept my hospitality.
Come to Kota,Rajasthan.
Thankyou for the offer however, we didn't make it to Rajasthan this time. Maybe next time 😊
So good
I’ve just noticed your rickshaw 🛺 Rusty was tailor-designed with The Roaming Pickles, Rusty & kangaroo 🦘 😂
Thanks for sharing your adventures. I thought you’re brave to buy a rickshaw for travelling in India 🇮🇳 Also I didn’t know there’s a French 🇫🇷 colonial area in India.
Haha yes, our aim with the paintjob was to incorporate some bright traditional Indian colours with a mixture of meaningful Indian animals (Peacock feathers and Elephant footprints) and Australia's famous Kangaroo (obviously because we are Aussie 😊) as well as a few personal touches such as Rusty's name and our UA-cam Channel. We are by no means good artists but we are proud of the design we came up with 😊
Its amazing what India has to offer. Everywhere you look, you see something that is absolutely mind blowing.
@@TheRoamingPickels wow 😮 did I miss any episodes? I watched the episode you went to pick up Rusty but didn’t know you actually designed it yourself? Did you send your design in advance? How long did it take to have it done? Maybe you should do an episode for the birth of Rusty. 😉
Haha no sorry there aren’t any episodes of India prior to picking up Rusty as it was all organised via email before we arrived so it was all done before we flew to India 🇮🇳. We sent the design through approximately 3 weeks before arriving to ensure it was ready when we arrived 😊
Please try to have food in with hands. That is another level
Yes, it sure is another level and we did eventually use our hands and what an experience 😊
Come to North-East India
Hi, unfortunately we didn't quite make it to North-East India this time around however, its on our list of places to visit for next time 😊
Nice place but no old french place shown . I think some french people still live there with like french schools , stuff etc but with french citizenship.
Ahh wow, that's interesting 😊
Go yo northern Himalayan regions, south is too humid now
Yes the Himalayan regions sound lovely! 😊
Hiii guysss
Hello! 😊
Would love to see you drive it .. and people’s reaction
Haha yes, we sure got a lot of surprised looks followed by huge smiles and waving. It was such a great memory 😊
Can you please tell me why you chosed the petrol auto rickshaw for all India trip
Because CNG engines don't have enough power to travel long distances and CNG isn't available all over India. Only in metro cities it's available
We didn't have a choice unfortunately, so I guess it made our decision easy 😊
Thanks for the info. We can't say we even gave the availability of CNG a thought but that makes sense now that we think about it. 👍
When you come to kerala🌴
We will have videos of Kerala uploaded in about 1 month 😊
We r already meeted at kovalam
Yes we did! Hope you are well 😊
