Just wanted to put this here, I'm Hindu and its not normal to pay a Priest at Temples for doing their job. We just donate WHATEVER we wish, Be it Rs 10 or sometimes even coins. Temples normally have a Donation Box for donations. If someone demandS you pay a fixed amount, They are obviously trying to take advantage of you. Feel free to tell them, There is nothing in Hinduism or Jainism that requires peopel to pay the Priest. This is one of those "Scams" that have been popularized ONLY because Tourists pay them, Thinking its an ACTUAL PRACTICE, Its not.

Go to south india,north east india and himachal,kashmir,ladakh India is not only Delhi and rajasthan 😂

And THIS is what touring in foreign countries is all about......spending as much time as you possibly can soaking up the real culture. Great episode

Thats raw India which even many Indian's never witness. Great work.

India is a tough place to be, but it can melt our heart and shape the way we think about life.....very beautiful video!

The real India….

It doesnt matter who i follow on KZread, the interaction with local people is always the best partfor me , just goes to show what beautiful friendly people you can meet

We had a tuk tuk tour in Udaipur, the engine wasn't quite man enough to transport three of us up a long hill to the summer palace. The driver made my wife Jenny get out and walk, he then took off before I had a chance dismount. I had to shout above the straining engine noise to let me out and walk with her. He was genuinely bemused as to why I wanted to also walk. He did wait for us at the top. A sign we noticed on the way down was warning of wild animals emphasised with a large painting of a leopard.

What a story.😅

Totally out of this world, the place is like a time capsule shifting between modern reality and ancient legends!

When I saw how long this video lasts, I knew it would be something special. This exceeded all expecations. This must be one of the best vdeos you have released, and your content is superb.

What a place.. sure makes me wants to get in there for a holidays. Staying with the people in the village was just something that money cannot buy.. memory , memories. .

This is my favorite episode for India. The first 5 minutes was very informative from the owner of the hotel. Then the visit with the family, priceless. And then Fort! OMG! I googled the history of the Fort whilst watching the rest of your video, wow! You get 10 stars out of 5 for this one! When I travel, my own country or anywhere else; it is the people that you share with that makes leaving your home worthwhile and what I believe we were meant to do with out lives. Yes the landscapes and all they the contain are marvelous but would be hollow without meeting people on a one to one and learning about the lives and culture and you already know that!!! Kudos! Safe journey's>

Great video, nice to see the customs and traditions of the Rajasthan region

One of my favourite cities in Rajasthan I've always stayed inside the fort which has been absolutely magical In winter the busy season lots of musicians come out playing their traditional instruments It's really the jewel in the crown. A definite must stay and absorb everything ✨💗

Always been.

In every country , it's in the small village than we can discover the real spirit of the people . Bravo , nice to travel with you .

So pleased to see a return to a more insightful ,less "road trip" ,snapshot of India , as you did bypass so much on the toll roads before crossing the Thar Desert. Jaisalmer Fort ,unusually for Rajasthan forts , includes dwellings rather than just remaining an historical site, so perfect for a less touristic exploration as the townsfolk set up for the day. To see also the local village life in comparison ,what an experience. Some foodie shots also .This video best in the India leg of your adventure .

Authentic Indian food is so good! The fort was incredible . I was so surprised that it seems like another entire village up there. I really look forward to your videos so much. Different cultures are fascinating. 😊😊

loving the longer videos. What a generous gesture of the family who hosted you over night and what lovely people. Loving the bright colors of the clothing, mats and bedding contrasted against the soil and stone. The fort was amazing. Thank you for taking us with you on this journey.

I thought your journey through India was a total write-off until this video. I really enjoyed today's segment-it was super interesting! As soon as I heard 'my parents are in Pakistan for a holiday,' I knew you would have a great video. It's a pity Pakistan isn't on your adventure plans. Wonderful video and very well produced/edited. Off-topic: That fort puts Buck House to shame! Well done, guys! :>)

Cool to see how folks live 1/2 way around the World. I'm here in Sunny Florida, just finished dinner & watching this vehicle. For myself and many we get into a material driven World, these folks live a clean & simple life never forgetting to give thanks along the way. I've binged watched y'all today,never seen you before but interesting travels & SAFE TRAVELS to you & the Misses!

I, too, live in the sunshine state. My daughter married a great guy FROM NE India, and perhaps we will visit at some point. I love Florida so much and don't really desire to travel as much as I had. But, doesn't mean I won't lol

Thankyou for another glimpse into local traditions/culture/food/celebrations! Awe inspiring!

You two Brits really blended into the Bedouin way of life, there principles are uncanny identical to your current way of life, forget the coming home party, invest in this way of life and the endless episodes that you can produce for next to nothing 😮 Just think of the endless curries at your disposal, any way your call guys. Take care be safe and may the holy budda give you good fortune on your onward adventures 👍👍🙏

The children were adorable and so curious. Loved to see Marianne chatting with the girls while Chris was with the men.

My favorite episode in ages. I love Jaiselmir and the Thar desert! So glad you got some time to really experience this very special place and have that time with the family in the village.

I loved this episode. Watching the children perform and being silly in front of the camera just shows how we are all one and alike no matter where in the world we go.❤️❤️

Loved this episode! Really showed the Love from these beautiful Indian people and how proud and how hospitable they can be. Also a really nice break for Marianne from driving! I don't know how you do it Marianne, honestly. Looking forward to the next episode and hoping to catch the pair of you in September. Much Love!

Certainly showed the hardship for the women and animals, living in such harsh conditions. The sad and tired expression of the dear lady preparing the food said it all!!!!. I wish you safe and healthy travels. Gail, Czech Republic ❤️ ❤️

I really enjoyed the visit to the village, wonderful people!

Fascinating watching the turban, how on earth do they keep their clothes so white? Love the way they are making a town for themselves with those lovely buildings, it's funny how no matter what the nationality they are always impressed with youtube haha gorgeous children I think this was the best video you've made and I've watched them all beautiful well done

Wow! Thank you for sharing! It is Father's Day here in the US and my daughters made me a homemade meal of Naan bread and Tiki Masala. We are in Detroit and could have picked this up from any number of restaurants, but they love to cook. I did not think much of it until I got back home and watched your latest video. India has truly touched every corner of this world with it's food and culture and yet I learned more today. Thanks!

This was my favourite video yet of your India travels.

You are absolutely right !!

You are so right in supporting the local businesses selling traditional goods. We do so whenever we visit off-the-beaten-track villages. If they don't make enough to survive, they will simply disappear.

Fabulous that you got to have this village experience!

There is nothing like home made Indian food, as I found out when I married a Hindu and we went to live with his family. All the food was homegrown, they had two cows for milking and made their own butter, cheese and ghee. They had chickens for eggs and to make into curry on special occasions. They grew a huge variety of vegetables and fruit and made their own spices we used to grind between two stones. We hardly ever ate meat and I didn't miss it. I loved the Dood Chai - milk tea loaded with spices and raw sugar and drink from a tin bowl (piala). We cooked on an outside fireplace with just a tin roof above it. Dozens of chapatis to feed the extended family and al the kids. It was true communal living with the grandparents and all the wives and hubbies and kid cousins and babies, all sharing the chores......it was a good life.

You should see the famous Rajasthani gypsy dancers, they are simply fabulous. The costumes and colour and excitement of the dances and music.

Indian life and households have really become developed and I can see that the people are far more prosperous than they were when I traveled alone for several weeks in India, in the 1990's. The home and the village they stayed at is much larger, well appointed and furnished than the ones I visited in Rajasthan those decades ago. In the video, I noticed the increase of Indian women walking alone in markets. When I was there, the ONLY women you saw on the streets were with a male family member or another, much older woman. Even two young women walking alone back then was considered a shameful and even dangerous thing to do. I found this out because I was a forty five year old American female, and quickly learned these things while there. This held in big cities, like Delhi, Bombay (the name change hadn't taken full effect yet), Varanasi, etc., as well as country villages. I'm happy that Indians have had opportunities to advance.

Yes that's true,now a days this prejudice are gone I can say that.

I think I love Rajasthan ❤️ beautiful people beautiful land.

Love this video. It was wonderful to see the customs and culture of a beautiful people.

I think Jaisalmer is the city that suits you both best. It's a city where Indian caravans set off on their journeys to the Near East in ancient times.

great vlog what a wonderful family ali has such a nice person ,its great to see how others live ,and the more you travel the smaller the world becomes and how important family is stands out more and more ,such inquisitiveness among the young shows what a bright future the world has and that far outweighs the negativity of the press

Awesome video as always Chris and Marianne. Y’all always show how amazing each place is and how friendly and helpful people are in each place y’all explore. Thanks for letting us ride along with y’all on y’all’s journey around the world. 🌎

Great video, simple life there.

Just Amazing x

What a wonderful experience to stay with the locals in their environment and then the jaunt around to the fort. I'm sure you've had many suggestions thrown at you for ideas like the book you've mention a few post ago, but when you were having lunch back at the hotel and Marianne said that was her favourite snack, I wondered if you'd share a list (or book of recipes) of your favourite foods you've both had during your trips along the way? Cheers!! Safe travel 💜

This was awesome. Thx for taking us with.❤

It sure is a man’s world

Thank you 🎉

How wonderful was that... you were truly blessed to experience family life close up. Happy and respectful children... amazing.... and their elders of course ❤. Great episode, the castle was mind blowing.... a city all of it's own.... nice to see you sampling the local faire. All good wishes for your further explorations.

That was great!

What a great video. I love seeing and learning about these cultures that are so different from my own. I’m so glad you accepted the invitation to visit the village. What an experience. ❤

Before watching this, we were just wondering when we would see some of the indian cuisine. And we did! Yay! For me it is one of the reasons why we always watch your videos. It's about people, surroundings and ofcourse food 😊.

Best vid in ages! TBH we fast forwarded thru the Indian episodes so far, they just seemed to be driving videos. Amazing village stay, and the off season fort. So many hotels/shops/restaurants - must be packed out when the airport is open!! I hope you took a tuk tuk back.

Such friendly people

Really enjoyed this video.

This is the true Buddhist. Absolutely beautiful. I wish people would know where it derived from. Hope that this place is protected and looked after. 5 things in life which we all should live by. Such beautiful history. Thank you for this. This was beautiful. 💚

Buddhism and Jainism do share certain beliefs. Jainism predates Buddhism which predates Christianity which predates Islam. The temple they visited wasn't Muslim otherwise, Marianne would have had to cover her head.

Made traditionally from scratch, and not a mix, Chai is the best tea ever. The cardamon is amazing.
