I went in 2011 for the world cup. I only saw a few games and spent the rest going all over the country east, west, north and south. As my first trip overseas I remember the first day thinking how am I going to handle this. However by the 2nd day and allowing myself to live the culture by the end of the trip I was sad to leave. Truly a life changing experience and one I wouldn't change at all. Beautiful country and people. Thanks India

India can be divided into 3 regions -> North, South and Northeast. These 3 regions are very diverse and vary from each other. In this trip you guys did some of the north region. North - I felt you missed hill stations like Shimla, manali and Nainital from the states of Himachal and Uttarakhand. Punjab state in the north itself has a different food and culture altogether. So next time if you plan to visit north again, you can cover up these areas. South - There are 6 states in south india with each having their own language and culture. You should enjoy the backwaters, house boat etc. in Kerala and then visit the temples in Tamil Nadu. Hyderabad is a great place to try the biryani and experience the islamic monuments. You can go to Goa for all the fun, parties, booze and beaches. Northeast - There are 8 states in north india where around 200 languages are being spoken, which means the most diverse region in India.You can google and research which places you can visit here. So in the end you can't have all of India in your 1 trip. Here each state is like a different country with its own language, clothing, food, festivals and culture. So before planning your next trip, research thoroughly and plan wisely ;)

So nah... we don't want to rule the world, we wanna be happy and have freedom. freedom must be an alien concept for you i presume.

Sam and Audrey, I thoroughly enjoyed your India vlogs and appreciate and second your fantastic advice for India travel. I am a fellow Canadian and backpacked in 2007 for 5 weeks to many of the same locations you visited; Delhi, Jaipur, Agra, Varanasi, Jaisalmer, Johdpur, Udaipur, and Mumbai. Absolutely loved North India. I'm a bit older now and have kids and after watching your vlogs with them they are very keen to see India as well. I cannot wait to share the experience that India is with them. I have always said that you cannot recommend India to anyone that is not excited at the idea of visiting India, but if they are eager to go, I cannot say enough of how great an experience it can be. Loud, cheap, chaotic, beautiful, welcoming, fast, slow, frustrating, exciting, maddening and charming...each and every day.

Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos I just found out your channel and its amazing. In this video what you have said is basically centered in the North. you have visited Delhi which is a very crowded city to be honest but a great place for experience. In the north there are places like Himachal pradesh and uttarakhand which are really beautiful mountain states. If you come to the south like Tamil nadu or in kerela you wil have a whole new experience. Its rather less crowded and sea based places. Now the next time you visit India don't forget to visit the Northeast India. Its the most underrated destination of India with untouched hills,mountains, waterfalls and valleys. You will feel kind of in South east Asia when you are here. I bet you won't regret coming to the Northeast which is very less crowded till now but soon will be because of its gaining popularity. there are places like the Wettest/Rainiest place in the world. The biggest river island of the world is here. you can find one horned rhinocerous here which is very rare and a whole lot more. Its impossible to mention here.

Andaman and Nicobar are the best places in India if you guys like beaches, it's about 1250 KM southeast from Kolkata. could be the super cheap destination if you compare the price with any island in Pacific ocean.

Actually you can travel in South India during from June/July. Travelling across the western ghats when the south west monsoon is in full swing is EPIC. You can even take konkan railway from mumbai to goa to start of the journey. There is also so much more you can see off the usual tourist destinations. Even Indians don't visit these destinations much. This was my epic trip couple of years ago. Mind you I have been to each of these destinations before Trip Route Starts from Goa --> Dharmasthala ----> Coorg ---> Bandipur national park ---->Mysore ----> mudumalai national park ----> Ooty ----> coimbatore ----> Silent valley ----> Palghat ----> Pathanamthitta ---> Calicut. I am not being biased when I say nothing has even come close to the above route in all my travels across the world. P.S. I like wildlife, rain, cool weather and bikes. Each destination is under 7-8hrs from each other so perfect Cheers

I so very much want to visit India. I just read the book "A Long Way Home" - the book that became the movie "Lion". Now I am obsessed. Anywayz, Lots of good information y'all have given here. Foriegn money is something I have a lot of anxiety about because I'm super bad with math and transactions cause my mind to shut down. The complicated trains and hectic stuff makes me excited. It's good to know they have prepaid taxies. The health suggestions were very good. Luckily I've never gotten sick in Asia but I know I shouldn't let my guard down. Unlike y'all, I always focus on smaller places and and try to cover less territory. THanks so much for all the informative and entertaining videos.

Thank you! That is exciting to hear you'll be visiting India soon. We've heard the money issue at ATMs has been solved now for quite some time. Also, in terms of health hopefully you'll be lucky and not get sick. I have a few friends who have never been sick in India but most people do have a few issues on a longer trip.

I've been watching your videos for past 3-4 hours :D When I see vlogs of travellers from other countries, most of the time I wish I were with them to help them communicate, to take them to nice places and keep them from getting robbed by those tuk- tuk drivers(I've seen them charging 1000 rupees from foreigners where it should have been even less than 100). You could've also taken uber in the big cities. And a flight from delhi to jodhpur would've been much cheaper than First AC train and would've taken no more than one and half hour. Trains in India tends to get late in Winter due to fog. But I'm sure you might have enjoyed the sightseeing in the train. I've lived in Rajasthan for more than 15 years, almost all of my childhood. And 5 years in Delhi. Yet I haven't visited as many places here as you have. I hope you had a good time here. 😊

You should visit dehradun,mussorie, nanital, shimla and ooty. These places are located in Himalayan mountains and the natural environment here is perfect for relaxing. These are small cities, yet they are beautiful.

The Golden Temple is amazing. I got to visit back in 2010.

WOW! , that was a brutally honest review about India. Everybody would surely experience these kinds of incidents while traveling in India. Next time visit the state of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand - the land of gods. Apart from Rishikesh(Yoga capital of the world), you can visit world-renowned conservation parks like ‘Jim Corbett Tiger National Park’ or world heritage sites like ‘Valley of Flowers’ and ‘Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve’, etc. Uttarakhand holds many important pilgrimage places for Hindus and Sikhs and provides you with the right mixture of Spirituality and adventure sports. the Gangotri glacier (primary sources of the holy Ganges), the Tehri Lake festival, skiing in Auli. Places to visit in Uttarakhand:- Chopta Auli Nainital Char Dham Tungnath Hemkund Sahib Mussoorie Rishikesh and many more......

Hello ! Is it easy to use Interac debit cads over there ? Did you only used credit cards ? Thank you 🙏

Great video! If you plan to travel to the south of India next time I would highly recommend you visit Kerala (Kumarakom, Alappey, Munnar), Tamil Nadu (Karaikudi, Kaniya Kumari (the place where the Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal meet), Kodaikanal, Ooty, Mahabalipuram), Pondicherry, Karnataka (Mysore, Coorg), Pune and Goa.

Thank you very much! Really appreciate the suggestions.

if you want to save time travelling you can always opt for flight. India is well connected through air. It's also cheap.. Domestic flights are becoming more and more popular in India.

Good suggestion! For our trip we really wanted to experience it on ground level so the trains were great but I think if we had less time we would have taken some domestic flights.

Thank you! We try to stay informed when possible.

If you wanna travel in train then opt for Rajdhani, Duronto, Shatabdi, Humsafar, Sampark Kranti series trains over normal express or SF trains. They usually get more priority, thus get less delayed. If you travel north India in winter(December-January), then your train will get delayed for fog. Trains do have AC 3-Tier, AC 2-tier, AC first class. First class is almost 2.5 times more expensive than AC 3-Tier. There is non-AC sleeper class in most trains, they are almost 60% cheaper than AC-3 tier, but not recommended for foreigners. If any problem is faced in train do contact TTE of that train, you may tweet it to indian railways.

You don't get your seat numbers in AC 1st class until around 4-5 hours before the departure when the final chart gets prepared..

Ah, that makes sense.

From an Indian living in Canada - I watch such videos when I miss India and food, loved your videos! I second every tip you've shared, great job! This video should really be in the checklist for anybody planning on travelling to India. To be honest, the Auto drivers are a pain for locals too, they try to squeeze as much money as they can, really aggressive. And there are really good auto drivers who are the most humble and honest people, but if you are using this transportation your tip nails it. Most of the cities now have Uber & Ola cabs they are not very expensive and safer in my opinion. I wouldn't judge the restaurants with the point you made on goat heads being skinned on the street and left in the sun, it's funny how you went vegan most of your trip after seeing that.

Thank you very much! That is great to hear about uber and ola cabs. That point has been mentioned a few times now and I wish we had of known about it ourselves but I'm glad anybody reading the comments will consider that as an option. You're right about meeting some very kind and honest autorickshaw drivers.
