Ive been there 7 times but haven’t been any further then Jaipur in that direction so I’m really enjoying it too!
Having lived in India for 5 years, I have to say kudos to you for being brave enough to drive there. Not many people have the steely nerves required to do that. Every car excursion my husband and I ever took involved at least 3 near-death experiences, but after awhile it becomes normal. Remember that honking in India is actually a very sophisticated language. They are not just honking to say hello; rather, they are telling you their next move. The honking vocabulary is complex but critical to master if you want to stay safe. As far as food goes, at some point you or your husband WILL become sick with gastroenteritis, even if you only ever eat in five-star hotels. Be ready for this and get the needed treatment. Meanwhile, do not touch the street food (even wise locals don't do that) as you don't know how or where it was prepared, and be vigilant with hand washing. Keep enjoying all the sounds, smells and vivid colours India has to offer. There is no other place quite like it.

@@coolfinetimethere are clean & modern sides of India. Ride with Gabi has a vid wherein he rode through the rich (millionaire) area of Mumbai. He also has vids of a cyber city - just see his India playlist. The Zingwi brothers also showed some malls & rich/ clean areas. TTG didn't show much because I think they were in a hurry to reach Mumbai to ship their van. Maybe the ship had to leave by a certain date.
Come on folks, the tread the globe duo are human. Based on several comments that they have made during this Indian sector, and the lack of detail other than driving, I would posit that they are experiencing culture shock (which can happen to anyone, no matter how well travelled) and also on a mission to get to Mumbai by a certain date. The fact that Marianne is an incredible driver doesn't mean that they wouldn't experience culture shock (heat, crowded environment, food, inability to talk various Indian languages at roadside eateries....it's not Malaysia or Korea etc.). Upset stomachs are also fairly common in India and if they have a deadline to meet they can't afford to get sick. Travel safe Marianne and Chris.
It makes me shed tears when you say that your wife donates her kidney to her best friend. What a strong bond they have. ❤❤❤
Those women on the side of the road selling green leaves is used for cooking with lentils and eating with either rice, roti or ragi balls.
Absolutely love Rajasthan, have been twice. So sorry you missed the fort and beautiful blue city of Jodhpurs. Jaiselmir and the desert is a favorite of ours. It feels as though you are now in a hurry to get home, not exploring or savoring the places and relationships with people that you used to. Lots of driving, roads and modern hotels, without the direct contact with locals and culture. Missing that part ❤️❤️❤️

Totally agree Jodhpur is one of my absolute favourites in Rajasthan - there's so much to love about that city. Wandering through all the narrow alleys up to the fort with a fabulous museum I could not go on a tour without the freedom of doing it in your own time Not to be able wander around marketplaces - have a chai, or a speciality of that area and have conversations with the locals is such a great loss. So many stories that one could hear and information learnt will never be realised in a journey that simply is one the road from one hotel to the next. I'm a Brit living in India and absolutely love it - it's all the reasons I've listed is why I'm here. It's a country of such diversity and so rich in culture and talking to the locals, staying in their guesthouses move the travel to a journey - not simply highway after highway

Very interesting. I was in India, for a month, about 18 yr. ago. Traveled by private car (Toyota Land Cruiser) and driver with translator altho my friend was Indian!). Can't remember ever seeing a 4 land road except in a city or very close. Commonly, there were paved roads, two land, till we got to a small village or town. Then the paving ended, the road narrowed and bumps were notorious! It was very common to see cows, dogs, camels and even frequent elephants in the road. Trucks always had the right of way!! Was there in the dry season just as you are. Dust everyplace, even in the hotels. And, back then, I was amazed at the garbage everyplace. Seems to not have changed!! Mine was an amazing experience---which I would not repeat!!
I always tell folks that India is one of the places on the planet everyone should try to visit at least once in their lives. I was lucky to live and work there for 5 years and enjoyed every minute of it!

I see the same difference, but i think there are a few reasons that make India different. The heat and air quality does not allow sleeping in Trudy, even walking around is more difficult. They can really only park in secured hotel areas, so pit stops along the road are difficult. The food/ water cleanliness does not allow them to stop anywhere to get street food. It would be a big problem if they get sick.

I spent 37 years in Sendai, Japan and so really enjoyed your videos of traversing the country, and I have watched all since then, as through work I also had the opportunity to go to many countries in Asia including Thailand (about 4 months in total) and India (maybe 6 months over 35 times). The tombstone like plates on the motorway median strips are, as you guessed, to stop the glare of headlights in the opposing traffic blinding you. This is especially effective because drivers in India tend to keep their headlights on high all the time at night, no matter whether there's opposing traffic or not. Also, the way I see it is that they have two right-of-way rules: (1) the vehicle that has its nose in first has right of way; but this may be trumped by (2) the vehicle that is going at the higher speed has right of way.

I learned many decades ago while traveling in India that the reason those cows are sacred is they're worth more on the hoof than a one meal protein blast on your plate. There used to be a LOT more street people/homeless everywhere, and the cows provided free milk for yoghurt and cheeses. The poop is immediately collected and formed into patties that are slapped everywhere to dry. They then serve as fuel for all the cooking fires, because India is such an ancient culture, it was basically deforested by the time of Christ so cow patties fill a big part of the fuel gap.
I love the driving photography, especially when we see off down the side streets, or into the goings-on on the forecourts. As a child I was driven around in Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa ( we lived in Lusaka, Zambia). And a tandem ride to northern France recently -mostly on the back -held similar joys.
From your travels its fascinated me how the world hasn't got a standard colour for petrol and diesel, you've done really well not messing up

Check weather patterns though. Get onto the smaller roads and hike into local villages. Stay a few days if you find a place you like - then India can come to you naturally. There is so much more to see than the highways and big cities. This is a great time of year to drive to Leh, Ladakh. What about crossing the border into Nepal? There are many places to cross. Check visa situation crossing over land / your van permits. India is magical if you have the heaps of time to discover it.

I've been wondering what they eat. I'd be afraid to eat or drink the water in some of the countries they've crossed due to sanitation and hygiene concerns. Dysentery you know.

Likely because they are eating safe. Probably lots of uninteresting packaged or fast food.
Respect Marianne! 7 hours driving in that heat on those roads. You really are awesome!
I love both of you and your adventures. However...India was not the best of the two of you. It seemed as if it was a circumstance both of you had to get through. Glad Trudy will trek you both to happier journies. Love, Laura from New Hampshire..USA😊
Great stone buildings, the best way to be cool in a hot country. Hopefully, it’s not earthquake country.
