    Hello guys, a small but important request to all Indians. Please guys if you see any foreigner is being getting troubled from these taxi, auto drivers or anyone else or getting harassed by anyone on the road, just approach them, greet them and ask of they need any help.
    May they don't and just enjoying walking on the road or anything but please do approach them.
    Very sad to see when foreigner had bad experience on the road, on tourist place. It's not good for India reputation around the world and feel ashamed as Indians.
    Enjoy diverse culture of India, please keep coming
    Thanks
    🙏

      Bro I am an Indian and went to jaipur. I too was hassled by these rickshaw drivers, tour guides etc. I had a legit BREAKDOWN. Screamed at them with tears in my eyes to just leave me the f alone or else I'll call the police now.
      Felt sad for all the foreigners who can't even do that because they're too kind and respectful.

      The first day I visited India I stopped trusting everyone. By the second day I realized I was wrong. You get approached by so many people when you arrive all trying to make money off you. When you get out of the city you notice most people are trying to meet you or help you and don’t want your money when they approach. Most of the ones that do want your money are approaching with a fair service or price on goods once you’re out of the heaviest tourist areas. I had a guy insist on buying me a bus ticket even though I told him I had enough to get to my next atm. I was fed several times and toured around places at no cost or expectations. A lot of Indians are proud of their history and love when foreigners show interest. It’s a hard country to navigate but a lot of places are worth the effort

      @@rodneyp9590 Glad you met nice people! I never meant to say that everyone is like that. There are lots of nice people. But heckling tourists is not the way forward. Maybe ask them once, but not more than that. As someone who really has a hard time saying no, it really makes me very anxious, very quick.
      Everyone should have the freedom to choose how to explore a new place.
      I went to Agra and I remember how distracting and annoying it was to have so many people persistently insisting that we take an auto, or get a photo etc etc. My best memories are from a fort that had an expensive entry ticket, so it was calm and peaceful.
      Me and my family could just sit down in peace and take it all in. At our own pace.
      Of course if there is a tourist from outside India, and if they ever approach us, we would love to help them out. But the choice should always be in your hands.

    Here are some suggestions, I hope you would read :
    1.It's not the right time to visit Delhi or Jaipur due to the intense heat, which is why there aren't many national or international tourists. Most people head north to the Himalayas to escape the heat.
    2. Instead of using an open auto for Jaipur sightseeing in soaring heat , you could have asked your hotel to book a personal day tour. This is a safer and more pleasant, not so costly and free from touts and scams option, and it's how majority Indian tourists prefer to travel.
    3.When visiting Amber Palace (Amer Fort), hiring a tour guide is recommended. It's affordable and provides valuable historical insights, making the visit much more enriching. Your auto driver was mistaken about the need for a guide.

      Please do not stereotype India like that!
      North India aka Delhi and Rajasthan does not represent the entire country! India has places like Northeast India, Ladakh which is culturally very very close to East Asia!
      Heard of Northeast India?
      I have seen other western youtube travel vloggers, they really say good about India! Kara and Nate, Marc Travels, Buddymoon, Josie Lifts Things, etc!
      India is overall very diverse from inside The crowd, chaos which you see is just a tiny part of that with the rest of the parts being completely difference For example you can experience a silent forest trek in Himalayan mountains with old buddhist monasteries if you go to Northeast india, you can see a version of Tibet in Ladakh, you can see a natural retreat in the mountain valley in Himachal Pradesh You can experience a typical seaside beach in Goa, you can experience the beauty of tropical backwaters in Kerala and a old European town vibe in the city of Kochi You can be amazed to see the flora and fauna of Ooty a hill station in South India + mountain railway ride in Darjeeling, Himachal Pradesh Moreover you can even experience snowfall in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh Better. You should atleast visit Northwestern India, Northeast India and South India once. They are very different.From my maternal side I have descended from the Kochin, whereas my paternal ancestors were Oriental Jews from Iran. The Jewish community in India is one of the oldest overseas Jewish community which dates back to 3000 years when the first Jews from the Holy Land settled in Southern India as merchants.

    As someone who has frequently been to India, may I make a few suggestions. First, wear a white or light colored shirt ( and clothing in general ) and cover your head. You feel be cooler and keeping the sun off your head helps enormously. In dealing with the wallahs for rickshaws and other forms of transportation, ask about the price before getting into or onto the vehicle. If a price is agreed before you get in and there are any attempts at price re-negotiation thereafter, get out immediately. It is unfortunate for a blogger but the camera is an attraction and draws children ( of all ages ). So, bearing in mind that you have a camera fairly prominently displayed, with any harassment, politely and very firmly, tell the person(s) to leave you alone: ignore ALL appeals or pestering that may follow and continue walking. Zane, if I may so write, was too good natured - yes, be polite, but as importantly, be firm and look firm and that you will harbor no excuse.

You should atleast visit Northwestern India, Northeast India and South India once. They are very different.

    I'm sorry to hear about your negative experience in Jaipur. It's unfortunate that you encountered such challenges with the Uber cab driver and rickshaw, who pressured you to cancel your ride and pay a lump sum for a package tour. Situations like this can be frustrating and certainly dampen the joy of exploring a new city.
    As locals from India, we understand how navigating transportation can sometimes be tricky. While every traveler has the freedom to choose their mode of transport, we strongly recommend considering traveling with a local expert, especially in such a diverse and vast country. Opting for a tour with professional drivers and knowledgeable guides might cost more upfront, but it ensures safety, reliability, and an enriched experience. Local experts can offer valuable insights, secure travel arrangements, and handle any potential issues that may arise, allowing you to focus on enjoying the beauty and culture of the destination without worry.
    We strive to turn potential challenges into soulful, joyful experiences, ensuring that travelers can immerse themselves fully in India's rich heritage and vibrant culture. We hope future travelers take this into account to avoid similar experiences and make the most of their time in India. Safe travels and better adventures ahead!

    To start with they shouldnt be doing that but then the vendors who sell things to make a living , u,ll see them obviously at such touristy places and not the isolated peaceful ones..and since there are so many of them they get pushy to sell their items,, wld want to make a quick buck from foreigners..mind you , these vendors try their tricks on indian tourists too, who can also get at times fooled..BUT if anyone just ignores them or says NO..they get the point and wld leave eventually....U should just know how to handle them...thats it...instead of just stopping urself n others to see a country loaded with beauty,diversities,etc .
    N India isnt the only country where one might get scammed by these xtra smarties,, u can get scammed anywhere,,.I was scammed thrice in Italy..what do u say for that.A fully developed country to say..

He said when he went to India he got on a plane and left hours after arriving.

    I would suggest you to go to places like Kashmir, ladakh, Uttarakhand in North. Kolkata, Darjeeling, Sikkim Shilong, Arunachal pradesh in east and North East India. Goa, mumbai, Hampi, Gokarna, Chennai, Kerala etc in South India.
    These places will have very little scammers and you will have more authentic experience.
    If I can suggest 1 place then that's Kerala.
    It's one of the hottest summers in a while, be hydrated, don't be shy to carry an umbrella in Sun, use sun screen, wear white clothes made out of cotton, put a wet hanky around neck.
    Go to south or Himalayas or North east. North India is the hottest at this moment.
