there are AC on both long and short distance trains in India. only general class don't have AC. generally opposite of squatting toilet would be sitting toilet. any food with the name masala will be spicy as masala means spice.
And yes there are many vip trains also and highly recommended 1.Rajdhani Express 2.Satatabdi Express 3.Tejas Express (highly recommended) 4.VandeBharat Express (highly recommended) Always try to travel in these types of trains..... All the best 🙏
@@RhettandClaire if u wanna enjoy nature and have some peace visit OOTY and falls in South India and..visit Karnataka, kerala..afyer doing some search on UA-cam best places to visit in South India
safety alert - never follow some stranger at the train station even if he says he will take you to the rickshaw. always exit the train station through the main gate where you will find lot of taxi and rickshaw people also police and security will be there and dont forget to bargain 😀unless you book through ola or uber
To all the foreigners who think of coming to India Remember We Indians are always in a hurry but we always have a lot of time to spend So if you are stressing about anything or even curious just ask people Do consider who you asking btw and atleast ask 1 or 2 more to be sure Indians love to be overactive in this
Most long distance trains in India have a few airconditioned coaches per train (offering different services like AC 1 tier, AC 2 tier, AC 3 tier and Chair car and Exececutive Chair car depending on the length of the route) and rest of the coaches are non-Air Conditioned. The Rajdhani express train you just yravelled on are overnight long distance trains and hence offer only sleeping berths and on top of that, these two being premium trains, have only airconditioned coaches and no non airconditioned coaches. If you seek seating service with seats, you jave to look up for Chair car or executive chair car class on daytime trains that cover shorter distances (for example Shatabdi express you just named, Janshatabdi express, Vande Bharat express, Tejas express, Gatimaan express, Vistadome coach to name a few) compared to the overnight trains like the Rajdhani express.
You were escorted from the wrong place at the Agra Railway station. There’s a proper exit gate with paved road and proper taxi stand. When you leave from Agra to Delhi by train you’ll get to see the entry exit points. There’s an Indian Flag and “I love Agra” signage there.
Hey I’m from Agra and i enjoyed every bit of your vlog and loved the reaction when you got snacks and water which was included in the ticket price. However just a safety suggestion, Never Ever rely on the random people on the platform trying to offer help and guide you.The exist you guys took from the station in Agra was very risky and safety concern as a tourist and not at all recommended. Always take help from designated location situated at the main exit gate of the station. Most of the stations in india would have exit and entry point in the centre from either end of the platforms.
Wow I have never seen such a nicely set up 2nd class sleeper in India!! It must be a new car as older ones never had the electric plugs or sheets or curtains! I spent at least a couple hundred hours riding the sleeper trains from 99 to 2008. Nice to see the upgrades. Happy Travels My first train ride in India was 44 hours long Dehli to Goa. It was a great trip!!
For all foreigners especially from western countries or if you are from a cold weather country, I will suggest if you want to travel to India come in July-Dec. (Seasons in India : Summer : Feb, March, April, May = please avoid in these months bcoz in India temp goes 35'c- 40'c +. And now with climate change we had heat waves in which temp went 45'c +. Rainy : June, July, Aug, Sept = come to India only If you are ok with rainy weather, mostly it will be cloudy, humid & wet. Winter : Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan = best for foreigners bcoz mostly you come from western countries where temp goes below 0'c in India depending on location but will be mostly between 0'c-15'c temp).
The rainy season is also known as the Monsoon! We have a very short spring/fall season but a substantial monsoon season. Tourists can even visit the rainiest part of the world in Northeastern India. It is absolutely lush and gorgeous!
Use gatiman express, specially for those who want to see Taj Mahal from Delhi to Agra and fastest in India and only chair car and Full ac......most foreigners use this train🙂🙂
Hey guys. Absolutely loving your videos. One thing to add here: always layer the linen first and then put the blanket on top of it. The linens are washed after every ride but the blankets are dry cleaned once in 15 days or so. That's why they give you 2 sheets of linen. One to use as bed sheet and the other to use as a layer before the blanket.
Hi Rhett and Claire I have just started watching your videos and I believe you guys are the sweetest and kindest couple I have come across on UA-cam in a long time. I am from India, I live in a city called Prayagraj (probably 600km from Agra). Just the way you mentioned Ab De Villiers to the guy taking you to your tuktuk was so sweet and smart of you. You must have come across a lot of nuances in India. I hope you stay safe and your journey in India is delightful. God bless.
Best part I love about train journey is sceneries. I download 4 hrs of podcast and listen to it while watching sceneries. If it's Night journey then I would buy book or download TV series.
There is a Coach Guidence System on every Railway platform that starts displaying the train No. & compartment No. 15 minutes before the arrival of the train. You can board the coach accordingly. Once you enter the compartment you can find your berth.
There are both Indian style and western style toilets in the trains. They are both in front of each other which means there would have been a western toilet just in front of the toilet in which you went.
That wasn’t the case. Rhett tried left one and Claire tried right one. They were both the same for this car. Maybe on the other car it may have been different, but it’s not a big deal😃
@@RhettandClaire Guys, that means the other end of the compartment had both western style toilets. While I understand it's not a big deal, I use the western style myself despite being an Indian. It's difficult to use the Indian one in an Indian train because of the shaking. Lot easier to just sit rather than squat.
I totally get when you got the chills and had to wear a jacket. We Indians need to "cool off" with our cooling obsessions, the AC is supposed to keep one at comfortable temperature, not freeze one to popsicle. This is the reason(and also the cost) why for first 3 decades of my life I never took an AC ride(train or bus), but lately the climate has become unpredictable and the non-AC rides are either too crowded or dirty, so I am having to take AC options and I don't like the chills at all. I cover myself with masks, cap and jackets. You may think I am not habituated with cold, but I am not, I was raised in the Himalayas. But, it's one thing to feel natural cold outside when you are active, and another thing to be blasted with artificially cold, dry air when you are cozy and trying to sleep or something. The whole India as a nation should increase the standard AC temperature in its restaurants, trains and buses by at least 3-4 degree C. As an added bonus, It's also energy efficient and climate friendly.
There are two seating types in first class/AC 1 Tier. Those are: 1st) Two bedded private closed room, but that only for couples (husband-wife/ male-female) passengers 2nd) 4 bedded private closed room for non couples and others. All the AC classes have food services too. In some trains u also get to order food within train itself during journey. Happy Journey.
Couple of tips for future Indian Train Journeys: 1. You can find where your bogey will arrive on the small Digital Posters on the platform. Right above where you stand. 2. Most of the trains have 2 toilets, both Indian and Western Toilet seats can be found. If you found Indian one, just check the other one 😀
Visit anywhere or not , Do visit Rajasthan's Jaipur and Udaipur , Mumbai and Kerela and If possible Bengaluru.... These are places visited by foreigners...
"It's raining now so does that mean the train is going to go in the rain" "Is it going to be ok"? Lol...this is something Sarah would say! Loved the video. Great tips guys!
Hey Rhett and Claire, we love you dearly. Be Safe and Stay Healthy! Try to find some quiet time to decompress from the noise around you. Yoga and Meditation. Looking forward to your next wonderful videos. Hopefully, you can come stay here with us and Tour. We live near the DC area close to NC SC. Sending you lots of love💖💖💖 Harriet, Jim and Yuki. Richmond, Va.
Rajdhani means capital So if you see Mumbai rajdhani Means it will travel between mumbai and Delhi (capital) if you see banglore rajdhani that means ot will travel between Bangalore and Delhi All the rajdhani serve food for long distance travelers...but other trains don't... Shatabdi was the India's first train running at the speed of 100 kmpl at the time of its launch..so that's how it got its name shatabdi Shatabdi means (century)
As soon as you went to buy some snacks on the station and said, "I'm sure they'll sell some snacks on the train", I thought, "These guys are in for a nice surprise because the Rajdhani Express ticket price includes the food served on the train as well".
Here in post-Soviet countries we call these type of wagons - 'Platzkart'. 9*6 = 54 places for each wagon. It seems to be even more comfortable there in India rather than here. That's the cheapest possible type of wagons, not including 'Elektrichka' which is the electro-powered trains only with seat places.
9:48 Indian express trains always have 2 types of toilets one is squat toilet and another is comod 🚽 . The western style toilet is on another side 😅. You should have looked at. 😭😂
There are 2 types of toilets both English and Indian Style versions on the train, as usual on the left side it's Indian and on the Rights Side Its English or Western Toilet. You may see it Written WS or WT western style and IS
If you ll travel once by Vande Bharat and Tejas... There hospitality is next level in Budget... Otherwise India has the world's most luxurious train maharaja Express which cause 10000$ for one ride
Its "AC Two Tier(two rows) Sleeper Class". "Second Class" is very cheap and very basic. This is the order of comfort and cost: 1. First AC Sleeper (1A) 2. AC Two Tier Sleeper (2A) 3. AC Three Tier Sleeper (3A) 4. First Class (FC) 5. Sleeper (Non AC Three Tier) (SL) 6. AC Chair Car (CC) 7. Non AC Chair Car (CC) 8. Second Class (2S) or Unreserved (UN)
Just bumped into your channel randomly, good video 👍, by the way, there are both Indian style washrooms as well as western style comode fitted washrooms in Indian trains, you should have looked into the washroom on the other side🙂
NAMSTE 🙏 INDIA 🇮🇳 Hello! I am from India🇮🇳 and I am proud to be Indian I speak Hindi and also proud to be Hindu and Hindustani India is known by 3 names India Bharat and Hindustan, India has saved its thousands of years of civilization here all People of religion live, we respect and protect each other's religion, our history is thousands of years old. A living example of this is the British, who ruled us for 200 years, looted us, took the gold of our country to their country and taught in their history that the people of India did atrocities on us, but the British did the atrocities on us. Rather, before the British, we were ruled by the Mughals for hundreds of years, the British went to pieces of our country, whose example is Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh, this is the bitter truth, our history is more than 5000 years ago Anytime in history India did not attack another country, even today we Indians bow our heads and touch our feet. We respect our guests by leaving. Today's foreigners, we Indians see only a snake bean in the hands while we Indians have reached the moon and Mars. We are trying to discover Venus and the sun too. Today our economy is to the British. We have come back to number five in the world, today the strength of our army is after America, Russia, China, India is at number four, today doctor engineer IT sector, our ISRO has established its presence all over the worldToday we, common Indians, are ruling the whole world with the power of our mind, for example, the CEOs of many big companies like Microsoft, Google PepsiCo are Indians, America, out of every 10 doctors in Australia, we are five Indians, 40 percent scientists in NASA, America, Indians. There are countries including America, the world's biggest IT companies are run by Indians, yes, there are two types of people living in India, where there is a lot of poverty on the one hand, there is no food, clothes, houses on the people, while on the other hand there are people who live in India. Second in the world comes at number three, India's economy is the fastest growing economy in the world, now we do not take loans from the world, we give loans, our infrastructure Road Metro will be like America by 2025, today our road infrastructure is America's After it is at number two, it is the misfortune of the world, not of India, that they are not able to recognize India properly.The country which has recognized India properly, that country wants to walk and join with India, the vision of us Indians is to make India a developed nation on the completion of 100 years of independence in 2047 and we will definitely get this success. Companies want to do business in India, it is different that on one side there are slums in India and on the other hand there are skyscrapers in India, a city equipped with facilities, Akhand India was very big in which Iran Afghanistan Pakistan India Bangladesh Myanmar Bhutan Nepal and Aksai China But the British Empire and before that, the invasion shifts divided India, it is said that the language changes every 10 kilometers in India, here the official language is 25, while thousands of languages are spoken in India to a population of 135 crores. Carrying together shows our largest democracy in the world, when our country became independent from the British Empire in 1947, till now we have fought 4 wars which were imposed on us except the war of China in 1962, we have fought 3 wars with Pakistan. China won after 1962 Tried to attack us indirectly many times, but after that the Indian Army gave a befitting reply to China by giving a befitting reply, our Indian Army guards India from minus 70 degrees to 48 degrees, today our army is 22000 above sea level. Siachen Glacier is also standing 24 hours 12 months at the height of feet, Siachen Glacier is the highest battlefield in the world, where the Indian Army is occupied, it stays there day and night, I am telling you all these things because most of the western countries India consider the poor and Indians to be very poor countries, if the population of India has increased, then the area of India is also big, today our strength has become so much that even the biggest country in the world cannot talk to India with eyes today. I talk with my eyesToday our maritime border is bigger than China, it is protected by the Indian Navy, today some part of our Kashmir is illegally occupied by Pakistan, which we know as PoK, which Pakistan has fraudulently occupied, our temples, our Hindu brothers Sikh brothers are being victims of atrocities in Pakistan, they are converted, Hindu Sikh daughters are abducted and forced to accept Islam and get married. Pakistan attacks terrorism and Kashmiris in India, which is answered by Indian Army and Indian Intelligence. The agency keeps answering, Pakistan tries to harm us, but God has made the condition of its government like beggars. And democracy is a nation, it used to be a part of Pakistan, on which the Pakistani army opened fire on the general public there and the people of Bangladesh sought help from India, India attacked there in 1971 and surrendered 90,000 Pakistanis.And a nation like Bangladesh was born, today Bangladesh is even ahead of Pakistan, the currency of Pakistan is falling day by day, yes, but there are many people who are terrorists, fundamentalists and betrayers of democracy, who are taking Pakistan back hundreds of years. Look at the strength, despite being a nuclear-powered country, we never attacked any country nor showed the fear of atomic bombs. What did we not give to the world, a zero, a decimal, even we told that there is water on the moon, the British rule fired at us, hanged the innocent, we suffered so much torture, yet India is called a scary country We Indians love our country very much, we are proud to be Hindi and Hindu, I am also proud that I speak Hindi, even today in our country there is a joint family where grandparents, father-mom, son-daughter Uncle-aunty, tau-tai all live in the same familyYou will not see this in any country of the world Vasudev Kutumbakam This whole world is one family, the world's biggest religion is Sanatan Dharma, our epic Veda Purana is one of the oldest books in our Vedas Ramayana Mahabharata It is not written anywhere that We oppress someone, you read these, your soul will find peace. The Prime Minister of the country India has given 4 slogans Jai Jawan Jai Kisan Jai Vigyan Jai Anusandhan's 4 slogans are moving towards making our country a developed nation Today education given by India's university, our IIT, our IIM, our medical college benefits the whole world We all know that there was destruction in the world due to Kovid-19, then India had sent medicines to about one and a half hundred countries and also sent it to the country where people abuse us Indians, yet we have saved humanity. World's big countries sent medicines after taking care We could not make the vaccine of Kovid-19 but our country made two vaccines at the right time and our countrymen got it, but we also supplied the vaccine to about 160 countries of the world and where people could get the vaccine and people's lives. we survived todayIndians go to any corner, some of the people there insult us Indians, but they ask their government how much they helped in India in Kovid-19, whenever the world needs food grains, they go to India Let us look towards you, today the young population of India is moving towards making India a developed nation, our medical tourism is increasing, the world's big countries are coming to India today to get medical facilities for treatment in India. The medicines are number one in the whole world, the world has learned to do surgery today, we have been doing surgery for thousands of years, today India is second only to America in English speaking That India is no longer the earlier India, you come to India, we welcome you, you go to anyone's house in any corner of India, you will be welcome from the heart, Jai Bharat, Jai Hind, a common citizen of India🇮🇳 Namaste🙏
India has every level of luxury possible... Only you need to plan in advance and reserve in advance.... Casual moving causes chaos and troubles.... You got into chaos because you tried cheap option... There are fantastic hotels in Agra etc with station pickup and transfer organized by the hotel... So you should have booked in advance and asked for car number and mobile number from booking desk... India is a diverse heterogeneous society and you should pick your level and associates properly.. I have travelled around the world and faced many problems unless you select associates carefully... In india we go for the best when we travel with ladies or children or elders to get maximum comfort... Please follow the same and plan well in advance.. best wishes from Kolkata....
You guys could have taken the GATIMAAN EXPRESS from Hazrat Nizamuddin station which is a premium and a semi bullet high speed train and is very fast. By the way, wishing you guys good luck for your further journeys.😁👍
They provide breakfast , lunch and dinner also for free in Rajdhani trains. But you travelled for very short period of time so you didn't get chance to have those meal. Next time travel for a bit longer time so you will get to know other facilities of Rajdhani trains.
Like your videos appreciate your positive energy and you guys have the power to find good things among the small things also. Stay safe, stay blessed and keep exploring the world ☺️❤️
9:35 'There is no seated toilet'. Actually Indian trains have both 'Indian Style' and 'Western Style' aka Seated Toilets on each side of the train. The toilet right opposite to the one you entered must have had a seated toilet.
There are both types of seats in washroom one wherein you sit in squats position and the other one like normal seats, probably you missed out the other one.
Hello friend, this is 2nd A.C.( A.C. 2 tier) and it is not second class. Second Class are Unreserved General coaches. There are many types of classes in India. 1ST A.C. 2ND A.C. 3RD A.C. 3RD A.C. ECONOMY. FIRST CLASS(NON-A.C.). A.C. EXECUTIVE CHAIR CAR. A.C. CHAIR CAR. SLEEPER CLASS. CHAIR CAR. SECOND CLASS(UNRESERVED GENERAL).
Thank you for your informative and useful videos ....They are gorgeously edited as usual !! 🤩 Please tell me when you use the Uber ,is it linked with your SA credit card ?
Can you find out if they have a library in the train? I had travelled by a train (Coromandal Express) in India in the past (50 years ago) where they had a really good library. I wonder if they still have it on that train. Of course your trip is only for 2 hours.
Travelling to INDIA soon? Consider picking up our Resource Pack + Itinerary - bit.ly/3GP16KE
there are AC on both long and short distance trains in India. only general class don't have AC. generally opposite of squatting toilet would be sitting toilet. any food with the name masala will be spicy as masala means spice.

For all foreigners especially from western countries or if you are from a cold weather country, I will suggest if you want to travel to India come in July-Dec.
(Seasons in India :
Summer : Feb, March, April, May = please avoid in these months bcoz in India temp goes 35'c- 40'c +. And now with climate change we had heat waves in which temp went 45'c +.
Rainy : June, July, Aug, Sept = come to India only If you are ok with rainy weather, mostly it will be cloudy, humid & wet.
Winter : Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan = best for foreigners bcoz mostly you come from western countries where temp goes below 0'c in India depending on location but will be mostly between 0'c-15'c temp).
Amazing comment! Thank you for all the info here. We will let other travellers know in our upcoming guide for India🙏🏼❤️
feb and oct are the best month if you want to travel in North india tho
The rainy season is also known as the Monsoon! We have a very short spring/fall season but a substantial monsoon season. Tourists can even visit the rainiest part of the world in Northeastern India. It is absolutely lush and gorgeous!

Completely agree. AC is for making us comfortable, not for freezing us.
2:42 the sheets are been given in covers for more than a decade, it's rajdhani express the oldest luxery train of india.
There are two seating types in first class/AC 1 Tier. Those are:
1st) Two bedded private closed room, but that only for couples (husband-wife/ male-female) passengers
2nd) 4 bedded private closed room for non couples and others.

Rajdhani means capital
So if you see Mumbai rajdhani
Means it will travel between mumbai and Delhi (capital) if you see banglore rajdhani that means ot will travel between Bangalore and Delhi
All the rajdhani serve food for long distance travelers...but other trains don't...
Shatabdi was the India's first train running at the speed of 100 kmpl at the time of its launch..so that's how it got its name shatabdi
Shatabdi means (century)
As soon as you went to buy some snacks on the station and said, "I'm sure they'll sell some snacks on the train", I thought, "These guys are in for a nice surprise because the Rajdhani Express ticket price includes the food served on the train as well".
Totally! Such a surprise 😁🙏🏻
Here in post-Soviet countries we call these type of wagons - 'Platzkart'. 9*6 = 54 places for each wagon. It seems to be even more comfortable there in India rather than here. That's the cheapest possible type of wagons, not including 'Elektrichka' which is the electro-powered trains only with seat places.
There are usually 2 bathrooms, 1 Indian style and 1 western style in each side of a coach
Claire is a CHARACTER we would love to have in our life 😊😁
9:48
Indian express trains always have 2 types of toilets one is squat toilet and another is comod 🚽 . The western style toilet is on another side 😅. You should have looked at. 😭😂
All the other toilets were in use or locked every time we went, we never got to see inside. This toilet was perfectly fine though😊
Thanks for this video n for sharing your train ride journey from Delhi to Agra.
Can't wait to see your explorations in Agra, hoping u guys will visit n vlog d UNESCO world heritage sites esp d Taj Mahal n Red Fort.
So just for your next train trip, generally there would be a western style Toilet seat opposite the squatting Toilet
There is no golden triangle india whole is golden and everywhere is beautiful...
Daam, I am craving "Kachori" now... Best thing is we are inn Delhi now and can have one ;-)
Lucky!😂😉
You must visit ancient sites of india
Like Mahabalipuram, ellora Caves, konark temple, dholavira
Indian railways has improved so much! New government is doing the right things.
There are 2 types of toilets both English and Indian Style versions on the train, as usual on the left side it's Indian and on the Rights Side Its English or Western Toilet. You may see it Written WS or WT western style and IS
If you ll travel once by Vande Bharat and Tejas... There hospitality is next level in Budget... Otherwise India has the world's most luxurious train maharaja Express which cause 10000$ for one ride
Its "AC Two Tier(two rows) Sleeper Class". "Second Class" is very cheap and very basic.
This is the order of comfort and cost:
1. First AC Sleeper (1A)
2. AC Two Tier Sleeper (2A)
3. AC Three Tier Sleeper (3A)
4. First Class (FC)
5. Sleeper (Non AC Three Tier) (SL)
6. AC Chair Car (CC)
7. Non AC Chair Car (CC)
8. Second Class (2S) or Unreserved (UN)
OMG, the train is going to run in rain.. Its Okay... I felt like i just watched a hollywood movie..with this dialogue. @7.42
They do have Indian and Western Toilet setup in all trains.
Just check the opposite or beside to the next coach.. 👍👍
Just bumped into your channel randomly, good video 👍, by the way, there are both Indian style washrooms as well as western style comode fitted washrooms in Indian trains, you should have looked into the washroom on the other side🙂
Yea i was like 🤦♀️ when I saw her trying so hard to squat..
I usually watch only solo male travel vloggers I don't really know why but probably because it's easier to relate but this looks good for a days binge
9:41 actually there are seated toilets in the trains. Every coach has both types of toilets. They are opposite to each other.
NAMSTE 🙏
INDIA 🇮🇳
Hello! I am from India🇮🇳 and I am proud to be Indian I speak Hindi and also proud to be Hindu and Hindustani India is known by 3 names India Bharat and Hindustan, India has saved its thousands of years of civilization here all People of religion live, we respect and protect each other's religion, our history is thousands of years old. A living example of this is the British, who ruled us for 200 years, looted us, took the gold of our country to their country and taught in their history that the people of India did atrocities on us, but the British did the atrocities on us. Rather, before the British, we were ruled by the Mughals for hundreds of years, the British went to pieces of our country, whose example is Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh, this is the bitter truth, our history is more than 5000 years ago Anytime in history India did not attack another country, even today we Indians bow our heads and touch our feet. We respect our guests by leaving. Today's foreigners, we Indians see only a snake bean in the hands while we Indians have reached the moon and Mars. We are trying to discover Venus and the sun too. Today our economy is to the British. We have come back to number five in the world, today the strength of our army is after America, Russia, China, India is at number four, today doctor engineer IT sector, our ISRO has established its presence all over the worldToday we, common Indians, are ruling the whole world with the power of our mind, for example, the CEOs of many big companies like Microsoft, Google PepsiCo are Indians, America, out of every 10 doctors in Australia, we are five Indians, 40 percent scientists in NASA, America, Indians. There are countries including America, the world's biggest IT companies are run by Indians, yes, there are two types of people living in India, where there is a lot of poverty on the one hand, there is no food, clothes, houses on the people, while on the other hand there are people who live in India. Second in the world comes at number three, India's economy is the fastest growing economy in the world, now we do not take loans from the world, we give loans, our infrastructure Road Metro will be like America by 2025, today our road infrastructure is America's After it is at number two, it is the misfortune of the world, not of India, that they are not able to recognize India properly.The country which has recognized India properly, that country wants to walk and join with India, the vision of us Indians is to make India a developed nation on the completion of 100 years of independence in 2047 and we will definitely get this success. Companies want to do business in India, it is different that on one side there are slums in India and on the other hand there are skyscrapers in India, a city equipped with facilities, Akhand India was very big in which Iran Afghanistan Pakistan India Bangladesh Myanmar Bhutan Nepal and Aksai China But the British Empire and before that, the invasion shifts divided India, it is said that the language changes every 10 kilometers in India, here the official language is 25, while thousands of languages are spoken in India to a population of 135 crores. Carrying together shows our largest democracy in the world, when our country became independent from the British Empire in 1947, till now we have fought 4 wars which were imposed on us except the war of China in 1962, we have fought 3 wars with Pakistan. China won after 1962 Tried to attack us indirectly many times, but after that the Indian Army gave a befitting reply to China by giving a befitting reply, our Indian Army guards India from minus 70 degrees to 48 degrees, today our army is 22000 above sea level. Siachen Glacier is also standing 24 hours 12 months at the height of feet, Siachen Glacier is the highest battlefield in the world, where the Indian Army is occupied, it stays there day and night, I am telling you all these things because most of the western countries India consider the poor and Indians to be very poor countries, if the population of India has increased, then the area of India is also big, today our strength has become so much that even the biggest country in the world cannot talk to India with eyes today. I talk with my eyesToday our maritime border is bigger than China, it is protected by the Indian Navy, today some part of our Kashmir is illegally occupied by Pakistan, which we know as PoK, which Pakistan has fraudulently occupied, our temples, our Hindu brothers Sikh brothers are being victims of atrocities in Pakistan, they are converted, Hindu Sikh daughters are abducted and forced to accept Islam and get married. Pakistan attacks terrorism and Kashmiris in India, which is answered by Indian Army and Indian Intelligence. The agency keeps answering, Pakistan tries to harm us, but God has made the condition of its government like beggars. And democracy is a nation, it used to be a part of Pakistan, on which the Pakistani army opened fire on the general public there and the people of Bangladesh sought help from India, India attacked there in 1971 and surrendered 90,000 Pakistanis.And a nation like Bangladesh was born, today Bangladesh is even ahead of Pakistan, the currency of Pakistan is falling day by day, yes, but there are many people who are terrorists, fundamentalists and betrayers of democracy, who are taking Pakistan back hundreds of years. Look at the strength, despite being a nuclear-powered country, we never attacked any country nor showed the fear of atomic bombs. What did we not give to the world, a zero, a decimal, even we told that there is water on the moon, the British rule fired at us, hanged the innocent, we suffered so much torture, yet India is called a scary country We Indians love our country very much, we are proud to be Hindi and Hindu, I am also proud that I speak Hindi, even today in our country there is a joint family where grandparents, father-mom, son-daughter Uncle-aunty, tau-tai all live in the same familyYou will not see this in any country of the world Vasudev Kutumbakam This whole world is one family, the world's biggest religion is Sanatan Dharma, our epic Veda Purana is one of the oldest books in our Vedas Ramayana Mahabharata It is not written anywhere that We oppress someone, you read these, your soul will find peace. The Prime Minister of the country India has given 4 slogans Jai Jawan Jai Kisan Jai Vigyan Jai Anusandhan's 4 slogans are moving towards making our country a developed nation Today education given by India's university, our IIT, our IIM, our medical college benefits the whole world We all know that there was destruction in the world due to Kovid-19, then India had sent medicines to about one and a half hundred countries and also sent it to the country where people abuse us Indians, yet we have saved humanity. World's big countries sent medicines after taking care We could not make the vaccine of Kovid-19 but our country made two vaccines at the right time and our countrymen got it, but we also supplied the vaccine to about 160 countries of the world and where people could get the vaccine and people's lives. we survived todayIndians go to any corner, some of the people there insult us Indians, but they ask their government how much they helped in India in Kovid-19, whenever the world needs food grains, they go to India Let us look towards you, today the young population of India is moving towards making India a developed nation, our medical tourism is increasing, the world's big countries are coming to India today to get medical facilities for treatment in India. The medicines are number one in the whole world, the world has learned to do surgery today, we have been doing surgery for thousands of years, today India is second only to America in English speaking That India is no longer the earlier India, you come to India, we welcome you, you go to anyone's house in any corner of India, you will be welcome from the heart, Jai Bharat, Jai Hind, a common citizen of India🇮🇳 Namaste🙏
Most trains have 50 percent ac coaches, ac coaches r very common but ticket availability is tough
India has every level of luxury possible... Only you need to plan in advance and reserve in advance.... Casual moving causes chaos and troubles.... You got into chaos because you tried cheap option... There are fantastic hotels in Agra etc with station pickup and transfer organized by the hotel... So you should have booked in advance and asked for car number and mobile number from booking desk... India is a diverse heterogeneous society and you should pick your level and associates properly.. I have travelled around the world and faced many problems unless you select associates carefully... In india we go for the best when we travel with ladies or children or elders to get maximum comfort... Please follow the same and plan well in advance.. best wishes from Kolkata....
What chaos?? We loved this train ride
Loved it, a very interesting train ride
You guys could have taken the GATIMAAN EXPRESS from Hazrat Nizamuddin station which is a premium and a semi bullet high speed train and is very fast. By the way, wishing you guys good luck for your further journeys.😁👍

Loved the music that you guys have used in your india trip videos. And the slo-mo B-rolls as well.
There will be 4wash rooms on both the corners of the coach, u can find 3indian and 1western
Would you recommend you guys to travel overnight in 1st class and in rajdhani, you will have the best experience
I am definitely seeing the potential of becoming another Kara and Nate. Add more close up videos of food.. You speak well.
They provide breakfast , lunch and dinner also for free in Rajdhani trains. But you travelled for very short period of time so you didn't get chance to have those meal. Next time travel for a bit longer time so you will get to know other facilities of Rajdhani trains.
I just love sleeper trains! So cool to see your experience on this one, not bad at all! The toilet situation though 😂😂
proud Indian that you liked train experience.
Love from India 🇮🇳👑
In rajdhani trains all across India you will get snacks, lunch , evening snacks and dinner till you are traveling
Thanks for sharing, such valuable info!
Welcome to Uttar Pradesh (UP)...now u guys will experience more amazing things like food, more and more hospitality and more Historical places.
Like your videos appreciate your positive energy and you guys have the power to find good things among the small things also.
Stay safe, stay blessed and keep exploring the world ☺️❤️
Love from india🇮🇳 🙏
9:35 'There is no seated toilet'. Actually Indian trains have both 'Indian Style' and 'Western Style' aka Seated Toilets on each side of the train. The toilet right opposite to the one you entered must have had a seated toilet.
There are both types of seats in washroom one wherein you sit in squats position and the other one like normal seats, probably you missed out the other one.
Surprised, when I used to travel in trains in India, they had both western and eastern comode

Can you find out if they have a library in the train?
I had travelled by a train (Coromandal Express) in India in the past (50 years ago) where they had a really good library. I wonder if they still have it on that train.
Of course your trip is only for 2 hours.
there are western toilets too...mostly the right one is western annd left is indian.... you can ask people there about where is the western one
