Hii
I wanted to explore India with you if you want to collaborate with me then just reply me 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@buttweisernow]

You're in Dharamsala. Pronounced Dhar- rum-sala. McLeod is pronounced McCloud. Like Duncan McCloud from the Highlander movie. Hope this helps. Best wishes from Portland, Oregon. Hope the rest of your journey runs smoothly.

"tashi delek" is one way you can greet instead of "namaste"

Happy diwali to all Indian and Nepali brothers from Bali👍🥳

[@YashSharma-zp8yu]

Happy! Diwali from India to Bali, Om Swasti Astu.

[@tenzinyeshey4343]

It’s nice to see you all in McLeod Ganj, Dharamsala.
It’s called Little Tibet.
You can greet the Tibetans “ Tashi Delek” which means Hello in Tibetan.
May be you guys can visit TCV (Tibetan Childrens’ Village). It’s the school where I grew up from. It’s a Tibetan Boarding School founded since the early 1960’s when the Tibetans first came to exile India.

[@DM-zb8hw]

As an Indian, I only want to see three things in my life:
1) Free and Independent Tibet for my Tibetan brothers living in India
2) African countries de-colonising from still prevalent foreign rule.
3) India rising again like it always was.

[@Kim-m2z]

@@traveltheworld9887 you are absolutely right. I recently saw a brutal lockdown in Lhasa. Forced everyone to stay in a big hall with infectious ppl!!!Many died with no food than died from covid. Many aged between 4-18 were forcefully taken to boarding school with their will. Many Tibetans from all walks of lives had self immolated against brutal Chinese occupation including well known Tibetan artist in front of potala place. The list goes on

If you get time, try to visit His Holiness The Dalai Lama's temple, Central Tibetan Administration, which is the seat of the Tibetan Government-in-exile, Tibet Museum, and Tibetan Children's village. Enjoy your stay in Dharamsala, the second home of His Holiness the Dalai lama!

[@sumangalrajkonwar2371]

If you happen to be in India till December, try heading to Hornbill festival in Nagaland, Northeast India. Or to Shillong Cherry blossom festival in November in Shillong. It should be a good change overall from the quintessential image of India.

Love your vlogs.....great pic resolution & well done on the subs too.....As tedious and unpleasant it may sound about airlines and airport security measures, which can kinda put sour taste in the travel thoroughfare,I would say it's still easier to seek an answer or rather request the authorities here in Delhi compared to America.....
Too good to be true but airport security in most major American airports is far more reaching out....so it's all good mate......
Wish you luck and do try amazing homemade Momo's there on hidden places and feel the tibetan values what they showcase and stand out for etc......it's huge.... Don't miss the ginger honey tea, some Italian foods and amazing brekky you get there

[@zaxcollix123]

It is mandatory for all passengers to check-in online 48 hours to 60 min before flight departure. Only it seems he did not bother to do that.
Then he didn't way to pay the Rs.200 for getting the boarding pass printed. Who does that ?
Then his wife claims that the Spice jet boarding pass is issued in some 'govt. site" ? I mean WTF !! You have to log into SpiceJet site to get an online boarding pass.
Also security is extra strict around electronic equipment's. Not soaps and shampoos.
Finally obviously all kids have to go through security. What is a terrorist smuggles a bomb in some baby's diapers ? You think a terrorist cares about such things ? Security protocols exist for a good reason. Especially in airports.

Outside most airports there are automatic boarding pass printing machines, just scan your eTicket and it will print out your boarding pass for free. If you ask the airline counter to print it for you, they charge ₹200. Also, it is best to get indian SIMs while in india, they are for free, just go to any Airtel customer care center. It makes a lot of things easy like booking tickets and stuff. Also 30 countries now accept UPI, so ask you bank if they have UPI. Oh, and they (Tibetans) say _Tashi delek_ for Hello.

Yup in India plane traveling is stressful .
Little tip, just came back from India trip.
Through security check in, you need to take out all the metal and battery thing out in the tray.
Also day before you travel, you need to web check in and get boarding pass via online and you can show them that, is acceptable.
Enjoy!
