How to Travel INDIA Ridiculously Cheap! One Day in India
This is the website I use the most for booking accommodation while I travel. Huge selection and you can find some great deals on hotels, apartments and hostels: www.booking.com/index.html?aid=1724899
07:30 that's a very common confusion in India. Whenever we had to go outside for lunch or dinner, we used to say let's go to a hotel, hotel is very commonly used in India as for a place to eat. Maybe this started out in the beginning as all the resto owners named their restaurants as hotels, and people ended up calling restaurants as hotels, including me!
Yes, I figured it was exactly something like that. Thanks for the explanation.
True that 😂
MyLifeIsABeautifulDisaster -A.Y. True
its because common Indians (mostly people in small towns/villages) cant pronounce "restaurant". They find Hotel easy to pronounce.
Some good tips here, my wife and I just spent the last 6 months in India and we averaged $25 a day between us. Its a great place to travel and are going back for another 4 months after spending this month in Nepal.
Right on, that's awesome. Which places in India are you planning to go to?
We have already visited Goa, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, the Andaman Islands, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, and Kashmir. Next we plan to go to Sikkim, West Bengal, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Punjab. We are also hoping to come back to visit Kerala next year before moving onto South East Asia.
Sounds awesome. Sikkim and Darjeeling are on my list for the next time. Uttarakhand is definitely one of the best areas of India and not very touristy. Mostly people just go to Rishikesh, which is great, but there's so much more to see in the Himalayas further north. An epic journey is to go from Rishikesh to Almora, or vice versa. So brilliant and you will see very few foreign tourists.
+nakul garg, thanks very much! We love India alot, that's why we decided to travel here for a year. There are some negative sides, but there are in every country. I love making videos about India!!
+Gabriel Traveler, yes we are heading that way in the next week or so and are hoping to do some volunteering in a school in Pelling. We have experienced some places with hardly any tourist, especially off season, but I here the North East, like alot of India, is different to the rest!
So darn cool. I have been traveling with my family for the last three years (Including India) and have been documenting it as well, but nothing like you. We do stay at Hostels when traveling about, but we need to get more primitive to let the dollars stretch. Thanks for putting this out. You have inspired us to go simpler in our travels.
Thanks. There was a lot of work put into that one. We love our travel life. We truly believe that travel is the key to understanding in the world.
You made me want to travel all over the world and I always will be very grateful to you, Gabriel. Thank you so much!
nice video Gabriel!! You've been visiting India since Adam's, when you mentioned that you've had coconut water for Rs.5!!! 😆
Thanks for the quality content Gabriel, never been to India, but it's on my wish list.
Learning a lot from you..
eagerv you can also visit Kolhapur city in state Maharashtra India pm for more
Anyone else rewatching wistfully in 2020 & looking forward to a time when we can travel once again?
Man I gotta add Gokarna and India in general in my travel to do list. That's less than $500 a month! and I LOVE Indian food. Never had a Tali before though
I'm defo going to give India a shot in the future!! I just love the places you go that have culture, that is what it's all about for me.
I love my India
Budget can be less if you not use laundry services. also eat local fruits/drink/dishes.
expenses should be
accommodation 400-500 INR (for couple 200-250 per head).
Food 150-200 (local budget breakfast lunch dinner)
local transport 50-70 maximum (to cover 2-3 tourist places)
Other miscellaneous 100 maximum (such as shopping, internet if not available free, entry charges, mobile etc)
Ideal budget should be 700-800 INR (12-14$/day)
im really enjoying the realness and authenticity of these videos man. Happy to see a fellow nomad successful in their journey! Namaste
Hey! Thanks for your videos! I will go this year for 6 months to India and was wondering how you find and choose cheap accommodations?
Greetings and have fun!
Julia, you are most welcome
Julia Hauck welcome to india sis,😃😃
which you are live currently usa or uk
Just stay away from Indian states like u.p. Bihar Haryana and don't portray yourself as a weak meek person our you will get scared and get into other possible threats.
Stay at costly hotels not the once for 10$ and if possible stay with some Indian friends....
AND YOU won't get toilet paper everywhere.
Do some research about the places locality where you are residing and do ask your Indian friends about all this stuff. If don't have a few make a few.
Delhi
you should not have mixed all those things in thali...you can eat chapati with some curry and vegetable...rice is meant to mix with dal (liquid )....and yogurt is eaten at the end.
Visit the south more, Andhra pradesh,Kerala, Tamil nadu, all have varying and beautiful places. If your looking for some mountain action, places like Ooty,Kotagiri,Kodaikannal, Valparai, You should consider, Also visit pondicherry which was a french colony once upon a time
I've been to some of those places. I went to Pondicherry later on this same trip. Here's a video of my whole six-week trip:
ua-cam.com/video/KBZUD8L7sEQ/v-deo.html
I've been to south India several other times and been to Kodaikanal and many other places in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
Amazing video! I really appreciated how you broke down all the costs for your day. Extremely helpful information. 😃👍
Cool, thanks.
Gabriel Traveler I am considering between Kerala India or Cairo Egypt but I have a question regarding india I am a college student and am wondering how I could find a cheap ticket I live in Houston tx so it's nearly impossible, but do they offer discounts to college students just wondering
There isn't a college student discount that I'm aware of. Just search lots of different websites and try different dates. Check skyscanner and use their feature where you can search for a whole month at a time. Flying that far around the world is likely going to cost but sometimes you can find some amazing deals.
Hi Biochemp33, You might want to check out the company STA Travel. They offer travel discounts to college students. Not sure what the requirements are, but it's worth looking into. ;-)
Yes good tip. I think I used them for my first flight to Europe. Not that they will necessarily have the cheapest flights, sometimes it's just a matter of luck finding a great deal based on the date and your departure and destination points.
Great video... useful tips, easy to enjoy your commentary style. Thx a lot!
Rule of Thumb in Indian Food: Never mix everything at once.. It should always be try eating with each curry/sambar/subgy .. For Chapatis use the thick gravy & dry frys , for Rice use bit liquidy gravy , sambar, subgy ... but always try with one item at a time.. never mix all the ingredients .. that is rude in some places...
Good to know, thanks for the info!
Gabriel Traveler just a foodie thing
Ramana Maharshi used to mix everything ..and the lady serving me used to get upset at him!
True. If i would do that at a restaurant people around me most probably think - he doesn't know how to eat, maybe poor cultural upbringing from parental side.
Incredible India
Am going to Hyderabad for the Briyani
Jaggery is a cheaper unrefined sugar. It’s a sweetener like sugar but less expensive.
Awesome vid! Inspiration for my travels. Subscribed!
That's awesome, thanks mate.
I'm budgeting $50 Australian per day for a two month trip and I reckon that'll be fine. Cheers. Love your videos, you've taught me heaps. ✌️📷
Yeah that'll be good for India. This video is six years old so prices have gone up a bit, but anyway you should be alright on that. Just adjust your travels as needed, you can always find dirt cheap rooms if you want to save some cash. Have an epic trip. ✌️👍
I love my India beautiful place's
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Kalyan Kumar Yes bro India is great
come india pata chal jayega
Stop commenting dirty things fr my India
Just for the future.....the sev in Sev puri is pronounced "save"
Happy travels
Also lassi is pronunced lussi
Food in india shouldn't be so cheap they cook great food they deserve so much more amazing people and culture
Very nice video clip Gabriel. Beautiful country and province.We love India.Jai shree Krishna.
Amazing journalism ......-Gabe;....How much are cigarretes ?
thx: cs
Thanks. Cigarettes are super cheap. I don't smoke so I'm not sure how much exactly. Maybe 50 rupees a pack? That would be less than a dollar. Gold Flake are popular cigarettes in India and one of the cheaper ones.
...good answer..... the price of cigs can make a trip ..... :
most expensive was in Ireland....20CAN$.......the best''' [ black curillo ] was Cuba, also 50 cents CAN.......
Canada is 16$ .... i smoke the real expensive, strong one
'' Export A '' plain [ green death ]
India sounds stressful....prolly the wrong place to quit ........
thx: CS
Wow the exchange rate is really nice right now now. Looks like your eating healthy. Nice vid.
John MacDonald hey
Any idea why they had "No swimming" signs posted?
Because of drownings. At Kudle beach there was actually a sign showing photos of different people lying on the beach who had drowned there. Pretty sad. I think maybe Indians don't always know how to swim, so they're trying to make the point to be extra careful, but not actually enforcing the no swimming.
Most Indians don't know swimming (but i do!!).
They are no life guards everywhere in India. Looks like the safest advice to the public has been chosen by the local council
nakul garg Im a gora I understand chutiya etc
mike said nothing to foreigner,he was scolding other guy to act over-smart
Hey Gabe! Would love to see another video like this updated for 2022 for would-be India travelers. Considering a trip there early next year.
I'm in India now, see this video: ua-cam.com/video/LozLXrO4T9k/v-deo.html
jaggery is taffy
What's the difference between the toilet and bath thing?
I'm not sure actually. Maybe a shower so you could wash off after going in the sea? (Except for the fact it says no swimming.) I would never plan to take a bath or shower at one of those places. Toilet if necessary.
toilet -Nature's call, bath -Take a shower! no swimming -a general sign at beaches in india, its an indication of absence of beach life guard, a swimmers life is going to be in his own hands!!
Ground nut means peanuts. Jaggery is a sweetner made from sugarcane
I would make a game out of it sometimes in Delhi I would eat breakfast on paharganj followed by tea for every meal lunch dal dinner samosas cyber cafe walk around Delhi thank you lonely Planet, then sleep at the train station where it's probably the safest place to sleep more police and military than any hotel in the world under $6.00
Hey Gab if you have internet problem ? please get a Jio 4g sim or Bsnl 3g sim , Jio offers 4g 1gb data for every one day and in night its totally free unlimited 4g data from 2:00 am to 5:00 and its valid upto april its in offer period . Bsnl 3g offers Unlimted 3g data for 30 days without any speed restrictions but if you do recharge of 1099 by converting into usd its about 16 dollor .
When you travel Do you carry your passport .or a photocopy of one? I know some locations offer a lockbox but what do you recommend if they is not one provided ?
Kartel Farley good question man. I hate it to carry it all the time!
I don't walk around with my passport but I do have a copy in my day pack. I leave my passport locked in the room and hope for the best. Never had a room broken into. In India I mostly stay places where I can put my own lock on the door so that no one else can get in.
I do the same, Gabriel
Gabriel Traveler thank you for the advice
Gabriel,in south india you could have had idli dosa for breakfast. It would have come under 100 rupees.
Gabriel, what do you think about ICONNTECHS IT Ultra HD 4K Sport Action Camera? The video looks really good.
I love it, great camera especially for the price.
I am going to visit India how much do u think would be enough for 1 month vacation nothing fancy tho. Do u guys think $2000 would be enough for a month thanks guys
GT, awesome videos.
Thanks.

WiFi zone at 6:20 xD
Hi Gabriel, First and foremost tour video are fantastic in terms of giving the real time of day of the many countries you are portraying in your videos.
I have a few questions for you as Im considering heading for India for 5 weeks in February. Ive been to India before ,10 years ago, only visiting the Rajhastan
as now Im thinking all over the country. My two questions are Hows the weather like in February in genreral mainly south. The other one being more random
which country did you prefer between India and (Mexico,Guatemala).....Cheerz
Omg its changed so much sincebthe 70s
Btw Mild (cigarette) costs ₹250 in India. i.e. about 4 dollars or so. One of my friends once said he pays around ₹1000 (according to Indian currency) in Ireland ..
Bi Doley lol bro it's just under 15 Indian rupees ....some one fooled you
You can buy a packet of 12 in 140-180 rupees
very cool dude...thxxx..
you can travel far less cheap my friend. trust me I'm from trivandrum south India
I've been to that state. it's super cheap. Your from USA that's why you're price is high. You can live in Cities like trivandrum and Mumbai for the rate of 15$
Ah!! Nice ...thanks for sharing
Gabriel you're a *_Travel God_*!
Do you carry cellphone/camera/computer with you everywhere? Is it safe to leave such things in the average hotel room?
I leave most valuables in the room. I've never had a room broken into. Of course it can happen but you have to leave your valuables somewhere and I prefer not to carry everything with me all the time. Usually I go out with just some local currency, and of course my cameras since I'm filming and also my cell phone. But computer, wallet, passport, etc. I leave in the room.
Man I love your vids glad I happened upon them!.when you were in the mountains of California any bear or cougar sightings other than scat.
Thanks. No I didn't see any bears or cougars in California. Never seen a cougar in the wild, but I've seen lots of bears in Alaska and Canada.
look like my hometown in jakarta
Nice video.Travel more beautiful place in India like GOA,Munnar,Himachal,Mumbai.etc.
Did you ever get sick in your travels, from eating or drinking anything ...?
Not really, I've been pretty lucky with that.
Jaggery is a english word, its made out of sugarcane juice by making it syrup.
In your thali you didnot mention the stuff between the chapati and rice?!
thats PAPADAM. ever heard?
Yes, I've had it before, I think I just didn't notice it while I was filming. Thanks.
Maybe you should check out sri lanka
What do you tend to do at night time is very many bars ECT were u were
There aren't any bars or anything like that in Gokarna, it's a very sleep little village. There are a couple of restaurants and not much else. Definitely not the place for nightlife, Goa is much better for that.
Are the 500 and 2000 rupee notes that you've got the new ones? I heard India took certain notes out of circulation not so long ago, I assume these are the new ones?
I'm heading to India in a couple of weeks really enjoying watching your videos, great tips.
Yes, they are the new bills. The situation seems to be mostly resolved now, no issues with ATMs or getting cash so far.
That's good to know! Got very nervous when I heard about the problems it had caused!
Georgi Loves World now, new Bills of 200, 500 and 2000 are introduced
Man, I miss these streets.
hi Gabriel i like your travel video and get lot of information throught your vlogs when you will visit pakistan
thx for the break down...
I would like to know if you have been to Gujarat? My husband is from there but I am American and never been. We would like to see you do Ahmedabad if you can.
I haven't. I've only driven through on a bus once from Rajasthan to Mumbai. Gujarat is a state I'd like to explore sometime, heard good things, especially about the western part around Bhuj. Ahmedabad is supposed to be pretty intense.
Man you drink Lassi Yogurt a lot, that aids your digestion whatever you eat. :)
How many countries do u travel so far?
63
@@GabrielTravelerVideos @ thank u for ur reply.love from India
The hotel room is nice for the price...
Your way of eating Indian thali was totally wrong.Their were some items in your plate. But u didn't enjoye it perfectly.The bowl feeled with curry u said actually it is sabji, king of recipe of making item which contrasty match to the Rotty.U can take it with roti which can enhance the proper test. U can take yogurt with same thing.But bowl feeled with some yellowish liquid that was real Indian curry.And u should have taken with the rice.I hope this will help you next time
Chill
ideal traveller. nice vlog why some comment about your eating in india makes you sick. we have good food nothing to worry
I m from Gokarna.
Do you always travel alone?
No, I've traveled with other people lots of times.
Hahahaha this was funny as I was watching your video and you drinking a coconut........ my brother who is now exploring Costa Rica text me he is enjoying a coconut on the beach. LOL
That's awesome. :)
Erica Pink hey
wow! that's a cheaper room..and not bad@all!
..indian cuisine really looks delicious and they're cheap--ilove those that u ordered--used to eat those in my fave indian esto here in america!
..reminder please..no coconut juice in empty stomach!😜😜😜
Indian food is amazing, one of my favorites.
Gabriel Traveler yup!..u said it!
..the only problem is the hygiene--i pray india hath 'inspectors' for such..even for street foods! 😭
also it depends on which kind of street food. the only time I got food poison is when i ate fish in Chennai beach during new year.. Since there was big sale they might used old fish or the oil is too much used. so in general avoid the oil foods outside in crowded places... extra tip dont trust the food chain restaurants like KFC here I even got sick one time eating in KFC
Julia Manalo hey indian foods are very tasty and hygien now a days
nisu nisar ..and so iTHANKGOD for that!
..bCOZ there's lot foreigners who love to go to india..am one of them💛--so to taste ur food..enjoy ur sceneries and experience ur culture\interact with u--so hygiene is a MUST@least in food--it add up to indian's beauty!..sorry i don't wanna offend u..GODBLESS✌
Another interesting video 🌴☀️☀️🦐🌴
Thanks.
Plz Welcome to kerala
south India is super hot..... come Mumbai....you can visit fords , these are too many in India .
Is it dangerous?
No, India is quite safe to travel.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos how do you avoid bank fees , atm fees ?
Do you have a VPN ?
I am planing a gap year
Thank you for replying you are my inspiration
How you found these hostel
I knew about this hotel because I'd been to Gokarna before.
Didn't the Indian government get rid of the 500 (and 1000) rupee notes?
yea mate those are the new ones
notice he had 2000 rupee note not a 1000 one
annonymous wl did I say he had a 1000 note? hence why I put 1000 in brackets you fanny. you seem to be stalking my comments.
the older rs.500 is replaced with new 500 notes, 1000 is gone, in its place is larger rs2000 notes!!
Deepak oh ok, thank you for the info. Do many people accept the 2,000 note? when I was there very few shops, restaurants would accept 1,000 note even if I only due 100 rupee change.
Now take jio sim.its very cheap
chikki is the best
very tasty
Wow
This is nothing new, in Mexico you can rent a room for 250 peso, around 10 dolars a night, but its gonna be a horrible building like your hotel in India
😊🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
I wants them pickles and wines....you cheap bastard 🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you don't like more spicy,tell before.💥 (Specifically European and American)
Buy some toilet paper , in Indian toilet they just use💦
Use ixigo app for Hotel,cab,train,bus, Flight etc...
Groundnuts = peanuts
Karnataka one state many worlds
no swimming here but lots of people swimming there.....why? becoz it's India..😂😂
Pity!!..you got ripped off!!!..
Be honest. You spent days on the thunderbucket after this video.
The Linthicums 😂😂😂😂😂.....u seems to be a loser
lol..you r ignorant
all I see is one apple
I think I ate the other one the night before.
did u get sick from the food? that is what I am scared of
No, I never have and I've been to India seven times. Certainly it happens but I wouldn't stress it too much.
Gabriel Traveler awsome! 7times! Not sick once!👌👍😎🤗 Awsomensssss
Gabriel Traveler How about the "lassies" and juices, do you have a way of deciding which places to trust, or you just follow your feelings?
Best option for internet access is buying a dongle for your travels If internet is that important get the dongle, dongles range from 700Rs - 1500Rs depending upon plans and data. I used to get a dongle for Rs750 which lasted 3 months 7gb highspeed + unlimited low speed data per month.
you can buy a jio sim and get free internet till 31st march.. good tip..
thats what i was about to comment ..
Aadhar card le lene do bhai ko pahle
Lakhpat Singh Purohit..yaar Foreigners Ko free mein hai without Aadhar card k.
amazing. I love you videos man. can't wait for the next one
The next one is going to blow your mind. The bus journey getting to Hampi with scenes of the real India.
Gabriel Traveler how much longer are you in India this time?
The main thing that I can see in mentality of Indian shopkeepers from all over India is they cheat in prices for foreighnour . I am from Jaipur Rajasthan I had seen even guides are cheating foreighnours with help of shopkeepers they had commission in every transaction . As well as goods are sold to 3 to 4 Times the Real cost
It happen, not only with outsider ,but to people from other states of India too.
It happens everywhere so don’t make a bad image. Go for the positive side budyy
With the high value of UK currency, you can buy anything in India for super cheap prices.
