Without Exploring 8 North Eastern States, 2 Island Territories and Himalayan Mountain States, Visit of India is incomplete. I hope you comeback next time to explore these places in our Country.
Thanks for visiting us, please come again. Love you both from Kerala. Next time please include north eastern India and Himalayan regions as I find them the most beautiful, may be because I am from Kerala, down south😀😇!
Also, thanks for telling us about the negatives, on which we are working on but due to the size of the country and population and porous nature of our borders, it is very slow going. I think the social issues will improve with economic improvement and education as you see in the south.
Staring foreigners especially white is a normal Indian habit. Its mostly not ogling . of course there are some desperate guys who things its easy to sleep with western people be cos they see it in movies
Dude. North Indian states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar are extremely poor. Avoid those states.
South Indian states are much more prosperous and civilised.
Use this Human Development Index list of Indian states as a guide to assess the safety of the state- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Indian_states_and_territories_by_Human_Development_Index
Honest review. Sorry guys for the bad experiences. As an indian as a man, i feel angry at these creepy scoundrels. They behave the same way wheather you are an indian or a foreigner.
Yes i agree
Unfortunately True.😔
This problem of staring is with local Indian women also...
Next time you come, do explore more of Karnataka and Maharashtra coast .. it's beautiful and highly underrated !!
Totally!
Merry Christmas everyone! :D
Merry Christmas... I enjoy your videos..
Merry Christmas. 😘
whole india pay the cost of no development in east up, bihar, jharkhand. specially in north people from these area migrate in big cities live in slums. and involve in all bad stuffs. overall not civilized at all. its not all their fault also bcoz places they came from have atmosphere like that with no development no proper education and everything their mindset just become like that. Sorry for all the bad experiences.
Merry Christmas Chris and Carolina! Chris, excellent summation. Super job, not just this video but your whole India series.
Merry Xmas for you both. I wish a great 2020 and keep travelling.
One of the most unbiased and spot on review I have heard from a foreign traveller. I am glad most of your experience was a positive one.
Cheers.
Brilliant...absolutely frank and honest feedback. Really appreciate. I am from India and what you said about Agra is very true. The whole place stinks and is dirty ...but its there that we have a wonder of the world. Its a shame.
I agree with your review. I’m really sorry for the rough experience your wife went through. The sad reality is my country has a long way to go for ensuring women safety. We don’t let our own female family members out at night or isolated places alone. The south is a bit better but still far from perfect. There is a lack of quality education in our country to teach the men of our country the true values of being a real man.
Exactly . We are sorry to you guys. Also having lived in both north and south india . South india is much better than north india for traveling and vacation destinations. Your review is absolutely brutal but honest. Few people ruin it for everyone. I hope you guys visit again .
Also : south is much better economically so and also the mentality of people is very good . Safe for women and progressive in comparison to North.
Delhi and UP are most risk, foreigners should avoid these places of India. People from these places made India a bad reputation. South India is more safe for foreigners. My suggestion to foreigners: Please visit South India and avoid Delhi, UP.
Nd u you guys want to visit north thn chose uttarakhand, himachal, jammu
Ur trip to India is incomplete if u dont explore 7sisters State ... NorthEast India.. 😊 Tribal State 😊Meghalaya Tripura Assam Mizoram Manipur Nagaland Arunachal pradesh 😉 love Frm Meghalaya....
Don't come assam. Assam is on dangerous situation. Although that created themselves.
@@debabratabarman2472 It's not dangerous. It's just a protest against a bill. Do not put up a bad stereotype about Axom.
@Sudipa jai hind what selfish?
@Sudipa jai hind People fighting against illegal immigrants is not called selfish ... ... You don't know the root
@Sudipa jai hind Get a life rather trying to spread hate against ur own ppl. Only 40% people of Assam are assamese rest are illegal immigrants.Also FYI there is a good amount of people thriving from Marwar,Punjab and Bengal in Assam and all blend in to stay bonded like brothers and sisters. In future try to earn some knowledge on ur own from 'books' and google rather picking up shitty info from 'somebody'. People from here move to mainland either as students or in search for jobs. Tell ur tea seller to put some effort in development in this side,to build companies here, to establish more than one IITs here and then talk shit. It is the right of every human being born in any country whats illegal is illegally crossing borders in flux and showing dominance and power over the place's own ppl and taking over their jobs when there is already stone raining unemployment.The only place in India with good amount of jobs and institutions is the mainland and people can and will come from all parts of India where there are not enough jobs. India doesnot revolve around you and your priviledged mindset. In some parts of India which are non existant for you farmers are dieing for there is no food and kheti, as ur tea seller spents millions and billions on some statue the youth has to study hard and move out to the main cities of the country. Bullshit.
Even local tourists have horrible days visiting north india
Yeah I met many that said they wouldn’t go there
@@JumpingPlaces when you come next to India explore Himalayas and NorthEast States of Sikkim, Assam, Meghalaya. Avoid north and central India.
Have to be careful how you define North India. Many tourists go to delhi, agra, jaipur and define it as North India. For me, the actual beauty lies in the Himalayas in the North. The delhi-agra-varanasi belt is good for its historical buildings but it is dirty, a bit dangerous and chaotic.
@@wheeloflife17 Central India..?? Do U know that Central India MP, CHTH is clean Well Maintained. And if U don't Know then STFU
Himachal Uttarakhand May not have crispy characters
Big thumbs up for your reviews and Merry Christmas. I am living in North India and I do agree these issues. I would say you booked wrong place for staying in Old delhi. Paharganj is worst place and most Chaotic. There are lots of migrants from other parts of India living there for employment and they are quite uneducated. You should have opted for New Delhi instead. Instead if you ask me, I would never advise anyone to visit Delhi unless you love chaos and wanna become mad😊. It better to enjoy peaceful vacations in South and North East India. Hope you enjoy fullest during your next trip☺️
Thanks brother 👍
@@JumpingPlaces i recommend u u must visit Himachal pradesh , Jammu & Kashmir
Down in south India 🇮🇳 people are more educated and had more respect for other down south is the only area were many foreigners love to visit
South India has always made a positive image of India then north
East india and north East India has also good man
I am indian but even indian women get stared at by these men. I can completely related to that fixed staring. I have been subjected to it when we travelled to Delhi. Really dont know what's wrong with these men.
Nice review overall, first and fall thank u for visiting India, being an Indian n travelled north and South i totally agree with u, problem in India especially north has problem illiteracy, poverty, attiquete and others n even we face it, so we r improving n will improve for sure with time n apologizes for the wrong experiences n keep visiting india
All good brother, the majority of experiences were highly positive for sure 👍
Lol your South is not good then this north india (himanchal, jammu, uttrakhand, ladakh, sikkim) this are himalayan state

Thank you for sharing the genuine thoughts ❤️

I request to everyone, please ignore old Delhi, Haryana and uttar Pradesh
@@muralig7167 Yes and also... Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
@@indranilseth1551 What's your "personal opinion" got to do with this youtuber's experience of North Indian men?
Care to explain?
Indranil Seth I have no axe to grind with you or with the lecherous men of North India.
I am just echoing my own experiences of my numerous visits to India, and hoping by sharing here, results in a better experience for the millions of visitors to India.
Delhi is overrated,there are many places in india,which is mind blowing,south of India is famous for ancient temples.
Merry Christmas Jumping Places!
Honestly we Indians Even don't go to Delhi agra... every one knows in india how hectic unsafe these places are don't know why Foreigner visit these places
Yeah mainly because Taj Mahal is a wonder of the world so pretty much one of the most famous places in the world, everyone has heard of it. And Delhi I think it is because the majority of international countries have direct flights there as it is the capital and it is also a good spot to fly into if you want to visit Taj Mahal, Rajasthan or even venture into the north. Can be hard to avoid it.
@@JumpingPlaces next time visit North-eastern states
@@JumpingPlaces because of these reasons we want separate south India
@@user-wq8fp1cl1g lol... only some Commie's from Tamil Nadu and Kerala think that..
@@piyushchamat3711 I am from Maharashtra I wanted to be sepereted from North India ok.
you should have visited mysore. It's one of the cleanest places in India and also it has many tourist places.
I think the government must make tourist aware of those places... Foreigners only visit hampi and sometimes gokarna... But there is lot more to explore in Karnataka...
Ok I'll break it down for you:
Avoid:
> North-Central part of India
Delhi NCR, Uttar Pradesh (Varanasi), Bihar, Haryana
Cautious:
Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha & West Bengal
Visit:
REST OF INDIA
> The True North (Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal, Punjab, Uttarakhand)
> The 7 North-East Sister States (Meghalaya, Arunanchal, Sikkim etc)
> The West (Mumbai-Goa, Rajasthan, Gujrat, Maharashtra)
> The South States (Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra, Telangana etc)
> The island U.Ts (Lakshadweep, Andaman & Nicobar) (Forgot to mention)
The North-Central part of India- Delhi NCR (Gurugram, Noida) etc sees a great influx of people (mostly migrant workers) from neighbouring states of Uttar Pradesh (my state), Bihar, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha & West Bengal
Now these states/regions are quite poor (& hence the youth migration) besides being one of the most backward & less educated regions in India. The people here have lesser exposure to 'progressive/developing India', let alone any global exposure and hence their out of place weird/creepy behaviour.
Besides Delhi, other prominent cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Chennai etc recieve these immigrants in equal measure. They are your typical frivolous roadside vendors, touts, tuk-tuk drivers, & blue-collar workers by large.
@@user-md8fr4zk5j
True...but don't you think Iskcon (Hare Krishna):
1) Are already accustomed to Indian culture in some degree & have a positive attitude & curiosity towards things they don't understand, due to their spiritual predilections
2) Many especially the first-timers visit in escorted groups led by senior, more experienced mentors who have already visited India many times.
3) They are not your stereotypical western tourists, they are more of spiritual travellers & hence a special category
My breakdown was for the typical western tourist who have love-hate relationship to India, in part due to the cliche circuits they do thinking it all of India, when we all know there's so much more to love and learn here...

GEOBEE...great to hear that...geography, especially Human Geography fascinates me too :)
lol talk about generalization
@@PratimPatil
Trust me you will not be 'LOL' when you hear tourists saying - India is a poor, dirty, chatoic country full of creepy people.....Generalization you will scream....so I thought how about introducing them to the 70% of India they seldom visit!
I bet you would be as interested as me to hear the Generalizations that'll follow ;) .....and hence my Generalizations....
Most honest India review ever.
The people who wish to come india ..just not only visit taj mahal and surroundings, try to visit Northeast states and also south india ..then you wll realize how vivid and colour full is our country
Northeast is green and clean. One can feel the nature.
If you want to go north, then go far up north to the Himalayan state of Jammu, Himachal and Uttarakhand. And maybe Rajasthan of course.
What happened with your wife was so annoying really. You should always tell off such people. Never let them go unaccounted for.
@@user-ff4uz2yt1i not remote villages only tourist places btw these are most beautiful States in india
@@user-ff4uz2yt1i That's where India goes to holiday.
Hahaha..I laugh when you say lots of men in the street of India..But if you visit Meghalaya(India) in northeast, there are more women than men in the street,markets,shopkeepers etc coz Meghalayan culture practises matrilineal system means head of the family is Mother...So women in Meghalaya get more respect than in the entire India or may be in the world..thats y you will find more women than men in Meghalaya..Daughtes are the apples of the family in Meghalaya..
Your Indian visit is incomplete without visiting Northeast India..This is incredible Indis.
North India is wild as that region has always been hotspot for invaders .
# ellie,muffasa and others
...Yep, most of them in the north of India are offsprings of 800 years of invasion. Add illiteracy and lack of ethics, you get a cesspool called North India.
@@ravikumar12320000 still 70 year's of independence saying the cause of illiterate. Blame the politicians
@Abhi R dude i am from north india, and stay in mumbai, yes north indians are pretty messed up. Not all though. But many.
Ravi Kumar they are not offspring of invadors, majority of invaders were killed of by the local north indians
@Abhi R Your hate filled rantings clearly proves my point Boy!
If you could show so much loathings for a factual information, then why should one be surprised, if you people target foreign female visitors?
Anyhow, you asked for data on literacy rates, so I would advice you to check out the Census India- State of Literacy and educate yourself.
Foreigners just come to south india for the best experience 🙏
I absolutely agree
being a Keralite, thank you for the words about Kerala ❤❤
Merry Christmas😄🎄🎁❄🎅
kerala is number one in india
Shaan Ath athre ullu bro 🥰
Kerala is also number one in recruitment of educated ( Graduated ) ISIS terrorists. 90 graduated peoples are involved in ISIS terrorist organisation in only one year.
Ravi kumar jangid 90%? From which source? Republic tv or from RSS??
Atleast kerala doesn’t have rapist and pervy man loitering around like north India.
@@shawnrocks29 Not 90 % , it's 90 graduated peoples. You need to learn basic mathematics
Thank you for this very honest review! I'm keen to travel to India w/ my BF, but I'm a bit leery because of the reports of sexual harassment on women - not only from you, but from other travellers as well. Will keep that in mind, and will be very careful in choosing the places we decide to visit. I'm watching your India & Sri Lanka vids during this quarantine period - not skipping ads. I don't know if you'll read this - but stay strong! Cheers & stay positive! Greets from 🇵🇭 💕
Pleased to see a very unbiased review! North has lot issues like poverty and lack of education. Thank you for your review. We are working on all the issues you have mentioned hope next time you’ll have even great experience! Maharashtra a state in India where Mumbai is has lot of historical places , if you ever visit again please explore! Relatively very less issues like you faced up north.
I am from Kerala. Thanks for you complements regarding Keral visit.Extreemly sorry foryour unpleasent Iexperiences in India. As someone commented its because of lack of education they were behaving like this.You guys are really marvelous .Keep going .With best wishes .Praying for you both for a safe journey back to your Home.God Bless you.
Really impressed with your reviews regarding India. What you said about Safety of Women is true to some extend. We see a lot of incidents on a day to day basis, these days. We cannot blame poverty or lack of education for these behaviors. It is purely on how they have been brought up in their families. South India is far better in this aspect when compared to some Northern parts of India. I am from Kerala and am really proud to say that. Best wishes to your Channel and Keep your great work going !!
I disagree with your judgement regarding Kerala. Doesn't Kerala have the second or third-highest number of reported rapes annually among Indian states? Kerala is also one of the worst states in terms of women's safety and is in no position to be criticizing the North. We must all work together to resolve these issues everywhere across India.
I visited TM recently, I was shocked that this red building floor area close to it was covered in pigeon poo that you were not allowed to wear shoes to walk on. Agra city stank crazy of the animal waste. Agra is governed by the Muslims, and as I understood, the government of India gave the Ag-Governers tons of money to clean their act but to no avail. Shame really.
Chris and Carol..pls accept our apologies for not being treated well in India ..it’s such a shame that we don’t care how we behave.. you have shown us the mirror…hope we improve and become more foreigner friendly..but moving south , there is a sea change and most of it is attributable to education/ literacy..hope you both overcome this and visit the entire south , north east and of course the majestic Himalayas..I have visited Brazil , Argentina and Chile ..you are at a different level.. keep up the good work .. I love your vlogs ..Good luck
I agree 100% with your negative feedback. We did face similar issues in Jaipur, Delhi and Agra. But the South and the East are much more relaxed and welcoming. I wish you both all the best with your travels. Keep up the good work.
You need to visit Maharashtra we have lots of beautiful places other than Mumbai greenery more than 300 hill forts for trekking..my favorite ancient ajanta ellora caves..
Hi. Love your channel. My wife is Indian. I’m the typical English (now Canadian) Honkie. Our daughter travelled India with her female friend. Freaked us out to be honest because we knew it would be challenging. She was fine in Goa and Kerala. The further north she went the worse it became. Solo female travel. No way. Don’t do it. Way too risky. Thanks for your video.
Nice video, subscribed!. Just what I was looking for as i'm planning on visiting India for the first time in about a week from now. I filled in the evisa application form, after 2.5 hours it almost brought me to tears!! Hopefully no problems.
Sorry for your unpleasant memories. Some of the Indians treats womens as a property and not a person, which is due to the lack of education. Education makes men perfect. We have hundreds of languages and my mother tongue is malayalam(kerala), therefore please leave the Grammer and other mistakes
Mostly this is the Mentality of People from North , Specially from Delhi followed by UP and Bihar.. you are a shame on this Country
Hi brother, your review was very honest. As an Indian, i am sorry for any inconvenience caused by some of the locals. I am from Tamil Nadu, the south corner of India
Go to top north, northeast, bottom south it is more safe for women and more beautiful than the places u visited this time
Yeah hoping to visit north near Himalayas which I hear is very safe 👍
@@JumpingPlaces Go to Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh for beautiful Himalayan ranges.
Visit North East for unspoiled natural beauty.
Visit Nagaland, Assam, Shillong, so beautiful esp Sikkim ♡ hospitality is the best.
The best places in INDIA for a tourist in no particular order are below...Any domestic or foreign tourist should take a cue from below and travel accordingly to have the time of their lives...
1)Sikkim
2)Himachal
3)Ladakh
4)Andaman & nicobar islands along with Lakshwadeep
5)Kerala
6)North East
7)Rajasthan

You are not very wrong about Delhi, in the field I work I have lots of jobs in Delhi which pay well but I don't want to go there for the same reason. Also Paharganj in general is not a good area, you are better off staying in New Delhi if want to visit.
Also in general India is kind of place where in the same city you will find the most modern clean areas where ppl who won't bother you, no scams, great food and there are areas like Paharganj. I know it's not my place to say whether solo females should travel here or not, but I will definitely recommend that if you know someone indian then take their help, they will properly guide you for your journey here and you will have a pleasant experience.
A very honest review ...liked it so much
Thanks! Honest is the best way.

Very honest review..liked this very much😍
Thanks 👍
Dont worry because it's habits of indian people to staring to see foreigner girls or any indian more light Or beautiful girls n another reason is that indian guys are friendly , so indian guys are proud of this type of girls . This type of incident happen not only foreigner girls but also indian girls. You never seen before so this type of thinking comes your mind because your country may or may not happen mostly.
Merry Christmas 🌟 🎂🎂🎄🎄God bless both of you. Thanks for giving honest review.
Totally agree, India has really delicious food! The way they concoct their spices into their food is amazing. 👍
Thanks for this honest review. I am from Goa(by origin) , and the staring thing definitely is a big issue. I can speak only for Goa, but the majority of those staring are from other state's as you correctly mentioned. As a result many in Goa do not want these outsiders in the state because it ruins the image of the local people, and other tourist( not from India) are usually not going to be able to detect this. I feel the reason why the local Goans/kerela people are not like this is because many have been abroad, have family abroad and so on. Hopefully this will change in the near future though to the point where this kind of behaviour no longer exists in the whole of India. You are hands down the best travel vlog channel I've seen who takes the extra effort to get to know the culture of the local people and give a fair representation of the places visited. If I was there I would of invited you to my house and shown you the Portuguese interior, Goan food etc- either way do come again!
Hey Alex, you said " I feel the reason why the local Goans/kerela people are not like this is because many have been abroad, have family abroad and so on ". Do you realise that women get groped and their bottoms touched in many developed nations as well ? This attitude is not exclusive to India .
Alex I totally agree with you, Indian migrants to Goa don't know to behavior as they brought up like uncultured, I have too goa and local goans are very good people and well behaved, Goa has the lowest crime in Goa only criminals and scammers in Goa are indian migrants, I am from NorthEast we are well behaved just like goans
As a Goan I totally agree with you. These people from other states come to Goa and behave in very bad manner like staring at Foreigners and asking for Selfies all they time. They ruin image of Goa with their bad behavior. Local Goans are well Educated and well behaved. We respect Foreign tourist as they are very important for Goa's economy and we Goans truly have the spirit of Attiti Devo Bhava..

@@JumpingPlaces I'm from Switzerland. Your videos remember me of my travels in India where I have been travelling a lot over the years. I have been to the indian subcontinent and in south east asia several times. In India been to Ladakh, Zanskar (crossed Zanskar on foot), Jammu and Kashmir, many mountain places in Himachal Pradesh as well as in Uttar Pradesh. Delhi (including Pahar Ganj), Varanasi, Agra, many places in Rajasthan, Mumbai, Goa many times and Karnataka several times, some parts of Andrah Pradesh, Kerala and many places in Tamil Nadu. Never been to West Bengal, Kalkutta and the states east of Kalkutta. I have been traveling and trekking in Nepal several times. Also been to Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Most of my travels were in the 1980ies and 90ies. Not much traveling recently as I got older and had to work for my pension to come. So there are lots of memories I wouldn't want to miss. Cheers and best wishes. Martin
@@martin36959 Cheers! maybe once you get your pension sorted you can start on some adventures again!?
@@martin36959 Doubt Switzerland is in our budget at the moment haha
@@JumpingPlaces That's the plan. There are a lot of places waiting to be discovered. Never been to north or south america, for example. Switzerland is worth going. It's an expensive place, I agree but it can be done on a shoestring as Gabriel proved. May be Europe will be possible to go in the future.
A very objective assessment.
Having no Delhi belly in itself is an achievement. I had Delhi belly when I visited Delhi, which put me in bed for a week.
Sorry for all of the things u faced in india, and we the people of India are trying to change everything hope it will change soon, its because of the politicians they divide us within one country,,. Hope u will come again to INCREDIBLE INDIA
Yeah hoping to visit far north around the Himalayas which I also hear is very same for women 👍
Zahoor bhai it's not the politicians ...it's a social and parenting issue where BOYS are are not taught to respect woman
Nirbhaya
Kuldeep Sengar 😡
So I'm from Sri Lanka. I've been to India 3 times. Have to say it is one of the most amazing places I've been to. Few of my Indian friends told me that the situation in north India is very dangerous for travelers. For me I look more or less like an Indian but for a European looking foreigner it won't be the same for sure. Unfortunate that you guys had to face such bad experiences. But south India is far better in that sense.
Thanks for the positive reviews of GOA it means a lot to the locals of GOA.
You have explained your experience very honestly, I have lived in Delhi almost for 10 years and also scared to visit such areas in Delhi but yes as you mentioned, whole Delhi is not like that.
I think after watching your videos, logistically and safety wise, North India might be better off with an organised tour. Can’t wait, going to do 2-3 months in 2021.
Yeah tour might be for the best for an easier trip
BVZ thank you :)
i support you in his issue we always have creepy Indian tourist in Goa which spoil the name well Goa is safe then other states we have goa tourism police and indian reserve police around to take care of foreign tourist next time when you vist just call the cops with the help line and talk to local goan they will deal with them in their way or contact cops ....be safe stay safe
Paharganj has spoiled Delhi’s name like none other. Not just Delhi but India’s too. Government should blacklist that area on their website.
Yes that's correct but modi vi paharganj ka bhakt hai mind it😂
Very honest review. Sorry for those unpleasant experiences. Love from Kerala. Visit north India for historic monuments, south for nature, hospitality and food and North East for unexplored natural beauty.
Sorry for all those things u faced in India☹️&this is a better review.👍
Pls visit again
Love from Kerala♥️
Never see India but its a beautiful country there are sme filipina maried indian .She is famous blogger now in india,The Sana Familly😊Many indian inPhilipppines camefrom Bombay.Sme of them are residents or either citizen in my country.They got a good bussinness there😊

I agree with everything that you have said! 100%!
Thanks I tried to be as honest as possible 👍
Welcome back to god's own country Kerala
Most of foreigners are travel in delhi and varanasi I visit in kannyakumari I didn't se any foreigners most of Indian travelers are there visit again india and travel kannyakumari and ramaeshwara island in rameshwaram there is temple of lord rama temple was almost 2000 years old you can also visit the temple and you can se the beauty of 2000 years old infrastructure of india
thank you for coming over to india ....wishing you all the best and happy travels
I am sorry that you had to experience bad things in India and I accept everything you say because this is probably the best review I could find about India. The creepy guys you are talking about usually comes from North Indian Slums who are not educated. North India is actually the worst comparing to any part of India. I would recommend you to visit North East (Sikkim, Assam, Meghalaya, 7 sisters) and South India (Mainly Karnataka, Kerala and a little bit of Tamil Nadu and Andhra).
North India is better than south India
You're right
Avoid north India..... north Indians are creepy
Nd if u really want to visit north india thn go for uttarakhand, himachal and jammu, u will definitely feel safe here thn other part of north india....
Really enjoyed hearing about your travels. Indian food is my favorite on earth
Every State in INDIA Has Different Culture & tradition which is unique
Very honest spot on opinion. Someone needs to show this video dubbed in Hindi in north Indian schools so at least the new generation turns out better. 'Jumping Places' should have made a video of these misbehaving guys and posted on youtube. By the way West is not free of creepy and racist people. Living in a Western society I very often feel discriminated, avoided and intimidated. We need a much better World.
As an Indian man from south India, I was stared at by some people in Delhi metro and even around modern Delhi, weirdly. I can understand how horrible women feel about that. It's creepy!!
Outstanding review of one of the most fascinating countries on earth. Thanks for your effort.
Thank you for this review, especially for women planning to visit India. Kerala really looks like a nice tropical place like the Philippines. Mark Weinz visited Kerala too and showed delicious looking dishes 😀
First of all my friend. I just thank of visiting India. As a andian it's too awful to hear ur opinion on ur experience and sry for all ur unpleasant experience in North. I'm from south India bythe way. It would awkward experience for ur wife once again sry in behalf of every Indian. Also, i suggest u to plan ur visit if possible in future to southern State i.e. Tamil Nadu to experience more cultural heritage and lovely ppl. Take care and all the best my friend. Cheers 👍🏼
prasanna Krishnamoorthy Many Indian men in the U.A.E behave that way as well. Are they from the North as well.
@@faaaduma it's not about Indian men. There are some perverts out there, in which ur case they are India mens. I don't wana frame all North Indian mens are perverts. But there are some who make all indian men shame in behalf.
@@prasannaNandu Recent rape in south india happened in telgana , that was not done by north india
prasanna Krishnamoorthy I understand. Not all Indian men are like that. But mostly, the ones living in the U.A.E do stare like crazy. Same Pakistani men. However, Indian ladies, living in there, always behave respectful respectfully. I guess, it’s about way they’ve been raced. I love India, btw. I wish you the best guys🙏
The best n balanced n truthful review I came across ever of my country. Thank you. I am ur fan bro.
Bald and Bankrupt good too!
I'm female and just did 10 weeks solo traveling around India a few months ago. I had also lived in Mumbai back in 2007. This time I traveled from Dehli, Aggra, Varanasi, Goa and Mumbai. Yeah the guys are gross but I just ignored them. If you're a confident seasoned solo female traveler you should be fine, just keep your wits about you and don't expose too much skin. What bothers me is the spitting. The noise and hocking up golly's, f'ing gross. Also Mumbai has cleaned up massively since I lived there in 2007, I was really surprised of the difference.
Yeah spitting that red thing I'm also very against its gross make things dirty
U visited india again
Yes guys I agree with u not all guys bad here but yes a lot can be 😌
It's Agra I also live in Agra ☺ u like it ?
Good honest review. I apologise on behalf of my countrymen. Thank you for visiting India. Try visiting more places in South India and north-east.
Goa and Kerala are Christian so more modern in their thinking. The rest of India still lives in a life a thousand years ago. For good or bad that's the way it is.
Just because they come from a particular community, it doesn't make them saints. Typical colonial mindset.
Come out of that religi0us bubble
As an Indian even I won't go to Paharganj or Old Delhi unless I really have to. Backpackers really need to stop ending up in Delhi and then Paharganj on a first visit to the country.
I am an Indian But staring problem is all in india these creepy guys kept staring at you… this happens to me alot when we go to india for visit
majority of people who live in slums in big cities they are migrants of other villages and small towns in india . they have their homes in villages . but they come for better earning but because renting price can be very high in big cities so they live in slums temporarily earn more then move out to bigger houses , then others come . that's how the cycle goes on . india has lifted about 350 mil people out of poverty in last 15 years . you won't find any slum in any village of india .
I'm from south India. And I felt really uncomfortable taking out my family to delhi and agra. Just really felt unsafe instead of enjoying my whole priority changed to reach back safe. South india is different india seriously.
True bro north India is soo bad. Never felt like a safe place when I visited there too.
@@143varunsherke2 Shut up if you have problem with North India make your own different country.
I need to learn from you guys how to travel in a relaxed manner, I generally hop from one place to another quickly
Thanks for the review. Very frank, straight from the heart. I was born in a very remote village, only few miles from Gokarna. Now, I live in Houston. We have so much in common. Never tried to live in anything 'Old' (like Old Delhi) in India. It's full of ghettos and dangerous. Sorry for the trouble you had. People in North are very aggressive because they had invaders for 1000s of years. Thanks for saying that there are better places than Taj Mahal. Come back to Gokarna and be my family guest as long as you want. You two are fresh of breath air.
Have you visited Gokarna lately?
3 places to travel in India. 1. Goa (for parties) 2. Kerala (for rejuvenation) and 3. Kolkata (for Mother's house - Charitable trust) all are foreigner friendly places.
Thanks for the honest feedback. Myself as an Indian have the very similar opinion. I hope things will improve.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Goa is definitely the best place in India, including food. The Portuguese left in the 60s and some old people still speaks Portuguese!
South India is much better than North ....
@ɪɴᴠɪsɪʙʟᴇ ᴍᴀɴ 😂😂 People elected BJP. Communism is the biggest threat to democracy Because the two can't get together
@ɪɴᴠɪsɪʙʟᴇ ᴍᴀɴ Democratic communism, really ? In 2010 Kerala government passed a bill to give loan interest waiver to those convert to Christianity, later introduced reservation bill in government jobs for people who converts to Christianity. Communist government is working like Christian missionaries those convert to Christianity. Communist government is working against indian constitution
@ɪɴᴠɪsɪʙʟᴇ ᴍᴀɴ Communist government is in Kerala because majority of muslims and christians. In Europe and America, Christians and Muslims are fighting to each other but in India both are together to fight against hindus. Christian missionaries are using money and magic to convert uneducated and poor hindus to Christianity, and muslims are increasing population by 4 wife 40 children policy. Muslims and christians both have conversion ideology. Both want to rule india by increasing population
@ɪɴᴠɪsɪʙʟᴇ ᴍᴀɴ sanatan culture is based on science , not on beliefs like islam and Christianity. Hindu calendar was before Christian calendar. Aryabhatt found zero who was professor of vedas in nalnda University. Decimal also found by Hindu. All type of math written is written in Sanskrit coding during vedic period. Peepal tree is worshiped because peepal tree gives oxygen for 24 hours. Sun is worshipped because sun is source of energy. Congress tried to end Sanatan culture. Mughal invaders broke the temple, raped, murdered, converted hindus into islam by sword. Congress calls Mughals great. I proud on sanatan culture. BJP is reviving sanatan culture
@ɪɴᴠɪsɪʙʟᴇ ᴍᴀɴ Because agenda of muslims and Christians is rule over India by increasing population and conversion. So muslims and Christians hate hindus and vote against BJP.
Trust me only Taj Mahal ,old Delhi n rajasthan aren't 't India there are others place too foreigners should go Darjeeling shimla Punjab uttrakhand Gujrat vishakapatnam Kolkata Shillong Sikkim karnataka Goa Mumbai Tamilnadu Kerala Andaman nicobar lakshdiwap some more places are there but I think foreigners are not allowed to go there like Jammu and Kashmir northeast India
I´m surprised you guys skipped Varanasí :-O I could very well picture you two in there. ;)
Delhi belly issue is also due to option of restrauant you select... If you dine in good rated and hygienic restrauant, chances for said issue will be less...
U miss bengal northeast himalaya and Indian islands...... U should visit these.. They are more beautiful than delhi and agra
It's far more worse than he speaks, he is being polite here. Me being an Indian I never feel safe with my woman here, I stayed in Italy for a couple of years made many Italian friends, they would always mention about their plans of visiting India, but I would always steer them off if they are coming with women. It's about time for India to take some measures
Foreigners visit India and go only delhi agra and Rajasthan.... And based on their experience in this places they judge India....... India is a huge country... Those areas aren't clean that's not other Indian fault... That's their government fault....... Bcz of delhi agra Rajasthan... The other Indian suffers
