SHOULD WE STAY IN AUROVILLE? - India's Experimental City

  • Опубликовано: 3 июл 2024
  • Within the state of Tamil Nadu in India, is Auroville...an experimental city founded in the 1960s. In this episode we travel and stay in Auroville and see what it's like.
    In this video we stay at two different guesthouses (will leave links below) and went to the incredible Sadhana Forest. All of this on our India travels on our Auto Rickshaw named Pete #Auroville #IncredibleIndia
    If you like this video please go and check out some more of our stuff, and subscribe to our channel here / thosehappydays
    Our overall plan in India is to travel via tuk tuk from the South to North (if it's possible?) The next leg of our journey is to travel from Auroville to the most southerly point of India and Tamil Nadu, from there we will go north probably through Kerala
    WE POST VIDEOS EVERY WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY 8PM AND SUNDAY 9AM (British Time)
    We have only just arrived in India, after a crazy time back home doing van life and living full time in our camper van for two years in the UK. But after some serious engine problems that cost us a fortune, we came to India on a mission to honour Liam's Grandad's legacy who sadly died earlier this year. With the inheritance money Liam got from that, we bought the tuk tuk and named it after Liam's Grandad.

    Loving this series , you are showing us parts of the country we’d never normally get to see , I don’t know if it’s just me but you both seem more relaxed/chilled out in your little rickshaw than you do driving around the UK , or is it the fact that you obviously love India. It’s like you’ve lived there all your lives , you should be travel guides. Thank you for sharing this with us.

      What excites me is the fact that they are touring it all. I keep asking if they have any idea how long they wlll be staying in India 🇮🇳, no response but am still waiting to hear . As they approach Andra and Uttrah Pradesh , is so interesting , because their are people living in Forests the Government is unaware of. They tend to be the Bandera Gypsies there (unsure of spelling ) they are very dark and bang drums 🪘 and tambourines etc. They live deep in the forest. As you go through India you notice how the Gypsies (origin to Essau/Edomites transmigrated via Egypt to India etc especially, due to the Trade Routes.). Yet they have assimilated and are diverse. eg in Gudjerat there are many Jats of smaller proportions, whereas the Lamani Gypsies are extremely tall and slender , they live in the Mountains ⛰. Wearing expensive gold coins as Jewellery. The Kumbis don’t wear clothes and live on an island they are protected. As you venture nearer to Kashmir there are Cobra Gypsies and are snake charmers etc. At this time of year Indians come from throughout India to Goa to trade . Many areas have their own specialist Trades. Such as sewing, furniture and lamps etc hand engraved. Copper and brass to make eg Singing bowls. Spices etc etc it’s endless but it’s Particularist. I think India 🇮🇳 is one of the most interesting Countries. Whether they live near the sea as Sea Gypsies or whatever.

      @@TheMinimalistTherapist this is a very interesting question indeed. I would have done two things differently.....
      1 I would have moved around alot more like Liam and Janine are doing. Staying in one place for too long is not safe for the solo traveller as you are easily targeted in a small community.
      2 I would have tried alot harder to get more consistent online work as I ran out of money too often!

I recently started meditating to try deal with health problems while waiting on surgeries , It helps with getting through some of the pain. Will try anything to take mid off it. Look forward to the next episode. 🤗 Michelle

    Thank you for your video. That was really interesting. I hope their message spreads across the world. If I ever go to India, Auroville will definitely be on my list! On a different note, have you heard of Kinging It? Kinging It are a welsh couple Craig and Aimee who have travelled from north to south India in an automated rickshaw. It might be worth checking out their videos for future places to visit and some travelling advice. Take care and thanks again.

      We have heard of them, but rarely get the time to watch other youtube stuff of similar nature. Usually once we finish editing our videos we do something completely different haha, as I'm sure you understand 😉

Therefore India or indians cannot be stereotyped in one category for anything. Each state experience is unique. Google each "Indian state tourist spots" based on your preference (Dessert, Fort, Snow, Palaces, Hill Station, Himalayas, Temples, etc)
      Best time to visit India is in winters - Oct to Jan end. .... ..
