    Sorry to repeat what I said in your other video, if you are used to the western lifestyle, and traveling in India with children, you cannot travel cheaply! Use flights, use uber, pre-book your travel and transportation as much as possible, and use middlemen/agents/guides as much as possible so as avoid encounters with hustlers and scammers. This is the basic tenet that even we Indians living abroad follow when traveling across India. You folks are traveling like backpackers, but with children. That's a strict no no, unless you want your children to experience the harsh street life of India, with all its noise and filth and pollution. Or just stay away from the metro cities and go to the clean and quiet regions - Munnar in Kerala, Lakshadweep islands, the pristine northeastern states like Sikkim and Meghalaya - each is a tourism destination in its own right. Should have done your research before traveling to India.

    I loved the old buildings but the noise exhaust and animals. I have three birds in a cage and the mess they make, the idea of all those pigeons give me NIGHTMARES ! Yuck. What’s the difference in riding an elephant or a camel? I think both have been used as pack animals for a long time but in those circumstances wouldn’t they have someone overseeing the care of such animals to be sure they are properly handled?

    I think because camels have been domesticated for thousands of years, like horses. Elephants are considered wild animals. Sadly we have tried to domesticate this wild animal, especially in circuses.

    @@marymcmillian7354 the only thing that I thought was acceptable in this whole video was a ride on an elephant. I would not ride a camel but as long as the elephant is cared for and treated humanely I don’t have any issues with riding one. I personally believe that many animals actually enjoy working. I grew up on farms with animals and they certainly preferred having work rather than being bored. It’s all about how well you take care of them. India doesn’t appeal to me for visiting because of the crowds, noise, pollution, too many animals, and the unhygienic environment. I also don’t like Indian food so I might get very hungry. lol.

    My Concern... would be the > Homeless Children 🧒 (At least the Elephants are being cared for. (Home/ shelter / food and a purpose. ) > They Love their Animals. While the children on the streets.. lack a stable home or a shelter and some of them have no family ties. They are easy victims of abuse and inhuman treatment, and are often engaged in petty theft or prostitution for economic survival. >> 100000 children remain homeless and on the streets of India. Priorities.

    Lots of smog (cough-cough)!! I think for me to be in another culture is to expand myself beyond what is comfortable for me. I learned to just try to be open and try not to judge. I learned that I truly don't know the realities of anyone else...trying to superimpose what I know on someone only creates more division and possibly estrangement. I so loved my time in India, my mind was blown open every day!! I came home with a whole new appreciation for the magnificent diversity of my planet❤❤❤

    Thank you for NOT eating cows and buffaloes @oddache. At least the owners care for their elephants like children and don't eat them. And frankly the elephants are just WALKING! When there are no tourists, they are made to walk for hours on the highway as exercise. And the weights of the humans on them are miniscule for them. I wish they HAD ridden the elephants. Crusoe would've loved it. And if no one takes these elephant rides out of (misplaced) concern, what will the elephant owners earn and what will they feed their elephants? I remember one elephant owner's wife making these huge chapatis of jaggery and wheat on an open fire in Jim Corbett park. She told me first my children (meaning the elephants) will eat, then we will eat.

    Life in India is not easy for lower middle earning class. There is pollution in these cities but we don't have money to transform completely into e bikes or electric cars in few years. Cleanliness is definitely a problem Indians should work on.

    Another wonderful podcast. Elephant situation - I to felt like Tara for a long time then with more life exploration and confirmed by my experiences I realised that my view was narrow. Some are very much honoured and well cared for and indeed would enjoy the lives they have. This came about when I started watching the work of animal communicators on youtube. I witnessed communication from arena performance horses who appeared to be very much loved and cared for at the highest level. They expressed how bonded they were with their owners and that they enjoyed the work they did. Then I looked for this option with other animals and witnessed similiar situations. I learnt to communicate with animals also albeit more modestly and I realised there are many different circumstances and experiences all beings are having. Our role as humans is to step in and protect when circumstances are bad only. ❤ Running wild and free can be a short difficult life and not desired by all. ❤

    I am an Indian living in the UK and I too went to India in December. My voice got choked and I had a runny nose all the time. Me and my husband were discussing how difficult it will be for Crusoe and Sawyer with this level of pollution. The biggest problem in India is that nobody really cares about the pollution and it is never quite.

I've been there, wandering about, same time as John. Enchanting India! You sure are brave to explore with your two boys. And to see the difference between them; Crusoe being a pure nature child, and Sawya is such a happy soul, taking it all in. I love the music and the editing.

I appreciate you each explaining your feelings on certain aspects of travel, guides, food, sights and activities. And even that you don't agree. Very refreshing view of travel. Please excuse me if this is a naive question, but what is the difference between riding a camel and an elephant? Looking forward to each episode of your fabulous adventures!

Thanks for the history too. Because when you were in Africa and went to the place in desert that had beautiful homes and a train that run around town for the ladies. It was a diamond place I think Germans were involved in building and gathering the diamonds. Anyway it is mentioned in the new Tarzan movie. Or it is a copy being the movies. Glad you are enjoying the trip with the boys I know traveling with children can be challenging. Y’all have this though. See you home soon .

    My Concern... would be for the > Homeless Children 🧒 (At least the Elephants are being cared for. (Home/ shelter / food, exercise and a purpose. ) > They sure Love their Animals. While the children on the streets.. lack a stable home or a shelter and some of them have no family ties. They are easy victims of abuse and inhuman treatment, and are often engaged in petty theft or prostitution for economic survival. >> 100000 children remain homeless and on the streets of India. Priorities.

    My dear friends, I was afraid to watch these India videos because I am afraid to travel. But I found that going with you I am safe. Watching you made it a wonderful experience to see all the wonders of places I will never see otherwise. I was afraid for you a lot of times. I was imagining what you were feeling privately and suffered for you. I have been worrying for the strength of your bodies, seeing how taxing travel with little children is. When I saw one of you carrying BOTH children I was praying for your spines. I found out, in my life, you actually can use up body parts. We think we are always strong enough to do what we need to. And we can! However, later we may find that we use up too much, too soon. That's why I pray for your precious bodies. No one told me to ease up. Then my body told me. John, you have been given one lesson about this. Respect and be gentle with your body. The payoff is more life in your old life. I am very proud of you and your accomplishments. I love you and all you give us. But my dears, take good care of yourselves. No one else will.🖖
