The Taj Mahal was NOT WHAT I EXPECTED 🇮🇳

- Today we will visit the famous Taj Mahal in Agra, India. This trip to the Taj Mahal was a it different than expected because I was hoping to be able to relax and enjoy the beautiful tomb. However, what ended up happening is that we took selfies the entire time with people and didn't get to really enjoy it all that much. It was still an experience that I'm glad I had.

learn to say no... Only allow families to take pictures with you two and dont let people take selfies with you especially young guys,.Just ignore them and dont look at them..
Better idea, I just try soo hard to never be rude
@@Travelwithchris in India and Egypt you have to stay your ground and be rude. That’s the only way to get by 😅 sad but true.
But, you have to be rude with these chhap-ries (ugly reelers Or so called ugly Facebook riders(in India) ) 😁.
That's pretty sexist an weird dude..
@@Travelwithchris In India you have to be street smart
As an indian 🇮🇳 , I suggest you to visit taj or any other famous trip in Early 5 am at the morning, because In morning there will not much crowd there
And you can enjoy it 😊
Agree, nobody on my pictures at this time :p
I definitely should've went at that time!
@@Travelwithchris oh best of luck of ur next tour in India
I went yesterday morning and it was so beautiful. Cool air and most over the river. Just wow.
Very true plus it was free thats why all kind of crazy people was there. He went wrong time big time
Hey Chris, As a Indian I would like to apologize to you for this uncomfortable visit to Taj Mahal and thanks for sharing reality. I hope people will understand after watching this and hope you don’t face any issues on your next visit.
He was entertaining the crowd. Why he didn't say firm ,No?
@@induchopra3014 why do you care so Much. Relax my friend.
you didnt do shit though. why apologise?
Chris U need to visit this place at early morning as foreigner. At 5 am
If you really want to joy peace here
12:31
After Living in Australia for 6 years just want to say that Indian people needs to learn so many things man
It is very frustrating for foreigners
Most of the people are not educated in India
A famous Indian comedian said this right , foreigners come to famous places in India to visit , Indians come there to look for foreigners to take picture with !
Ahahha very true!
You guys should've visited Northeast India. It's so much calmer and very different to the rest of India. It's almost like visiting a new country altogether. Their cultures, languages ethnicity and landscapes are way different from the rest of the country. Anyways, I hope that you guys had a great time here and please do visit again but, next time come and explore Northeast India as well.
North East has the best mannered Indians.
Jeets r jeets
Love watching your videos and the way tu greet everyone with a smile, Feel so sorry for the inconvience, hope authorities do something about it. Hoping to have u in India again. Cheers man keep up the great work !!
Thanks so much! I hope that gets better as well! It will make everyone feel so much more comfortable
When you visit in the middle of the day this is what happens. We went there at 5am and waited more than an hour until the door opened at sunrise (also it was during the week). Nobody bothered us and we had enough time to take photos and enjoy the view without too many people around. We also had time to go inside. If you are willing to wake up very early you'll have an unforgattable and enjoyable experience.
Going at 5am in the morning is the best time to go. You get to be one of the fist people that days to go in and you have no one to bother you. You can take great pictures with no one around getting in the picture and get to explore everything freely.
Yes I definitely should've done that! 🤦🏻♂️
The harassment at Taj Mahal is insane. Why can't these people behave?
Chris you definitely are a soldier because I couldn't visit India I'm a little to aggresive I don't like people touching me great video 👍
LOL. You should learn to say no. Simple.
Bro it took everything in me to not be rude lmao I promise you, its going to take a miracle to bring me back there
Actually the day you visited was independence day and government has announced tickets free for all that's why there was too much crowd....
Man I'm so glad I went there at sunrise in January. It was so peaceful once inside.
Dang you definitely scored!!!
@Travelwithchris yes sir. Was just there two days ago. I'm sorry your visit was so hectic. This is a tough country to stand out in sometimes. In Amritsar now and haven't dealt with a single tout. Just handshakes and smiles. Cheers man.
Looks frustrating! I’d be heated! I’ll have to reconsider traveling there for sure. Thanks for sharing. I noticed your t-shirt. Do you play tennis too?
Dude I was so heated bro, never again returning to the Taj lmao 🤣 no I don't play Tennis unfortunately, hope I didn't let you down lol
As an indian 🇮🇳 , I suggest you to visit taj or any other famous trip in Early 5 am at the morning, because In morning there will not much crowd there
And you can enjoy it 😊
That why it is said to foreigners to go early and the sunrise is the real beauty. please refer to their vlog ruclips.net/video/ZChnh9Z3r48/видео.html or ruclips.net/video/a74nE2YlvjA/видео.html
Hi Chris! I watch your videos on RUclips on my tv and can't comment but I just wanted to let you know I look forward to them every day! Sometimes I watch them twice. I have covid right now so I'm in bed watching all the older videos. I hope you guys are having a beautiful and and stay safe! 💗
Thank you so much for supporting my work! I hope you recover quickly! Get some good rest! 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you for visiting places most people dont.. Very interesting to see different cultures. Keep pushing forward love ALL the videos. 😎🌴✌️☀️💯
Thanks a lot David!
Visit South India too you may see different culture, different people. Visit Tanjore temple, that's also a masterpiece and equally superb monument 👍must visit places in India
Actually the day you visited was independence day and government has announced tickets free for all that's why there was too much crowd....
Yes I think that is why it was so crazy!
As an American Indian, seeing this; I understand your frustration. The men in India don't see white women, and the amount of guys wanting to pake picture with your girl is disturbing & disgusting b/c whybdo you need a one on one picture? It makes no sense.
But if you want less crowd, then go on a Paid day. I went on a regular admission day and it was not that crowded and really enjoyed the trip.
Imo they want pics off you to basically catfish you. Your image then ends up on some dating site, fb etc as a scaming tool. I wouldn't be letting them taking pics of me with any of them.
@@lizzy9975 exactly. There are beautiful Indian ladies around. They won't dare with them. You say no. Thats the way. Why entertain strangers? Be firm. Say no. But then you won't have entertaining vedio. No content to show
I was harassed a lot in India too. However, I also experienced similar harassment and grabbing as a solo female traveler in Petra. I noticed you mentioned this didn't happen in Petra, but it happens to many women traveling alone. You can Google it to find out more.
I love India and plan on going back in a couple of months, I liked the Taj but found Humayun's Tomb I lot nicer, less people and a local give me a free tour and was full of great information
Chris, I could hear the frustration in your voice. Come back to Vietnam where they treat you right and you feel safe.
They were back to Thailand now.
Just came back to Thailand, I'll explore more of Vietnam in the beginning of the year
Actually the day you visited was independence day and government has announced tickets free for all that's why there was too much crowd....
why the hell she wore low cut blouse in india
Good point.
Idk Chris i saw the dudes just wanted to take pictures with Gladys they just used you to take pictures with her 11:38 look at his body language
😂😂😂😂 probably so
i admire your energy and courage traveling there etc etc. try go to the Philippines too.
Thank you so much! I will definitely visit the Philippines soon!
I don’t know why but this only happens in India! I don’t know why they act like that! I’m Indian living in America and can understand why you would feel frustrated.
Props to you Chris for keeping your cool. I would have punched a couple of them for touching my girlfriend, making it known leave us alone.
Dude it took everything in me to not.... trust me I wanted to just give a few of them some good ones 💪🏻
@@Travelwithchris I’m a veteran as well and you’re living the dream. I always wanted to travel and show people the world but my girlfriend like to keep private. Keep up the great work!
@@Travelwithchris it’s best that you didn’t. You don’t need the negativity or any other problems.
Best view of Taj Mahal you will get around 6:00 am in the morning, there will be very less crowd and people who were taking pictures do not look like civilised people. I think they are there to take pictures only.
Vamos !!!! IDEMOOOOO !!!
Another great video Bro 📹 Chris keep up the great work 📹 Bro Chris definitely one of your best videos 📹 Bro
Thanks a lot brother!
this is so sad, i can truly relate your frustration. being an Indian its just so shameful to see such behaviour.
i wonder why does the security dont take any action against such people. they are simply ruining the image of India. feel sorry for you both. my apologies.
To all foreign brothers and sisters please don't put big negetive tamplate on Whole INDIA after looking at 0.01% of this country Here people language attitude even nature changes for every 50km
Don't only blame people but also consider your poor planning
Next time start from south India Karanataka Kerala So peaceful so beautiful ..!!
My husband and I love visiting Agra , the first time we went people wanted to take pics of us we felt like celebrities 😂we loved it so much we went back to Agra in march this year and it was exactly the same especially in Agra fort but Indians are so friendly and polite we enjoyed stopping and chatting , we can’t wait to return india is a phenomenal country 😊❤️
This is because you guys are white and they think you are from rich countries like America and Europe etc. For them you guys like celebrities. And these people are very ordinary usually from low income area If you guys were black I don't think they would have bothered you. If you were in rich posh area in India no one would have bothered to look just like western world.
😂
He he it's paparazzi time🤣😂
@@hirenahir76200 😂🙏♥️
It is not safe as an Indian say no to them they are from backward class
I was thinking of going there but never mind, I'll enjoy it from the pictures
well done fellow Indians on making a fantastic impression. Trashing, ogling, heckling, harrasing
12:58 True
👏
Don't encourage photos in crowded places. you"ll oblige a couple of them & thousand would swarm & u already know they don't understand the word NO
Definitely a learning experience!
thats why they separate lines for females. Dudes are savages there
Yes straight savages!!
you went to the worst day possible to go to that monument as it was 75th Independence Day, free for everyone. so lot of chaos. anything free means lots of less educated people would not enter it otherwise entered and caused trouble.
Yes very very true! Still absolutely beautiful and special as I mentioned in the video
@@Travelwithchris you didnt
It is a sign of love and dedication, but the history and reality say otherwise.
Go to southern part of India. You will be amazed by intricate stone carvings of hundreds and thousands of years old temples.
I definitely want to visit the South one day!
Taj mahal is truly amazing. Better not to go during any festive season, normal days will do. For the women, it's better to cover up chest & legs part to enter any indian temple. Such an amazing place it's the people who made you two so uncomfortable, I would feel very annoyed too
Man that does suck, it’s like going to the pyramids of Giza and just enjoying the view but people just keep trying to sell you stuff every 2 mins 😂
Bro don't tell me that's how the pyramids are 😭 I really want to go!
@@Travelwithchris I took like 1 or 2 pics with locals but if you’re taking Gladys there will be a lot more pictures taking 😂 but there’s just a lot of people selling stuff and camel rides.
@@Travelwithchris that’s just how it is in Giza. They will tell you to get on a camel and haggle you to get down almost wanting you to pay 10x what they you first agreed too. I never get on animals because I respect them but you will see the struggle. In Cairo they say if you haven’t crossed the streets looking down hoping to not get hit, you have not been to Cairo! 😂
I almost got I got into a fight with a street vendor that got on my face cursing at me because I bought souvenirs at a shop and not from him. It was going to get ugly fast.
Hehe now you know how famous movie stars feel :)
They love it because they earn it. They toil for the fame
Yeah probably terrible lmao
Heritage of ❤ of fourth wife shahjahan
I sincerely apologise for the hassle you faced Lots of Love from India ❤️❤️
No worries, thank you so much!
Welcome to agra taj.
The Taj Mahal is really good I hope I can go there too greetings from Indonesia
I hope you get the chance to visit also!
I will travel to India to know how is to be a big famous celebrity.
Why did they cut their India trip short?
This is how it was in Egypt. A group of about 20 black Americans. It was crazy. Picture after picture after picture. Pulling on you. Pointing at you. Mostly from Asians. Not the locals.
Damn yeah not looking forward to Egypt, though I do want to visit
@@Travelwithchris you should def go. Totally worth the hassle
Bro, any recommendations brand for using sunscreen?
me and wife both felt same, i was ready to leave and we are Indian.
I watched the clip and felt as bad as you. I hope you don't encounter such a bad situation in Thailand. If you encounter an event like this in Thailand You can file a complaint with the police to resolve the issue immediately.😟😟😟😕
I never felt that way in Thailand 💪🏻❤️
@@Travelwithchris 👌👌👌💕♥️💖
Wow, they are irritating! I’m a British Indian and find this behaviour annoying every time I visit also. Only seems to happen in India for some reason, and can’t understand why the fascination to stare, touch, take pictures etc. They’re fully aware of a western world! You kept your cool well Chris,
Yeah dude I have no idea where it comes from to be honest, but its the reason we didn't feel comfortable anywhere. We would be at a restaurant eating and people would just come up and snap a photo of us. They wouldn't even say hi, just tske the pic and walk away 😂😂 like wtf
foreigners visit Taj Mahal to watch it and take pictures with it. Indians visit Taj Mahal to watch foreigners and take pictures with foreigners
No. They visit Taj for Taj. They click the foreigners as fun . For the novelty. A new experience of meeting new people from a different land. Small town boys. Just having fun.
When I travel to countries like this I make sure to dress modestly
Even Indian people faces same problem during their visits at Taj mahal
Espere mucho tiempo este video.
Les voy a decir como se dice en Venezuela. Los quiero que jode. Jajajaja
Espero puedan volver luego y disfrutar el sitio
Espero con ansias la serie de México y la de Europa😍🥰🥰
Muchas gracias Joely! Muy pronto vienen esos videos y van hacer buenos!!!! 🙏🏻❤️
The shady placed you have visited for your content, I would never take my family or my gf to those cheap areas man in a developing country. You should have gone to nicer cities, you didn't plan this trip at all. I have an Indian background but I would never visit India alone without a local contact if you don't want to stay in posh areas. Should have gone to South India or towards the Himalayas, Delhi is not for tourists at all.
They're there not purely for a vacation but to make content like this. His gf has her own RUclips channel and make similar style travel vlogs.
They are not dating. He goes to massage parlors and gets happy endings. He never introduces her as his girlfriend. Stop spreading misinformation
Hes an explorer and likes to see explore countries the bad and good parts. Relax my friend
If travelwchris is reading. There’s more going on then his videos. He doesn’t treat her like a GF. More like something else. I guess just friends
@@JustaKarenDiscoveredTheIntrnet Chris called her his GF in Thailand series.
Why are you leaving for thailand again? I must have missed it. Love the thai vlogs
They returned to TH a month ago but the videos don’t come out yet.
It was the most affordable way to go back to US, so we stopped for two weeks! Those vlogs are coming very soon!
Oh Gladis So Busy take a Picture with people. She is like a Celebrity 😅
Ahahhaah
Lol they’ve never seen a white looking girl before , poor gladis😂 I didn’t expect the Taj Mahal to be this localized. I thought it was going to be a tourist zone.
Aah... Just shift Taj mahal to Kerala (south India).
I need to visit Kerala!
U go to Agra when it's entry is free it's means most of the people are that day is local so they don't go their to see the Taj they go there for foreigner and enjoyment (time pass).
When u go other day when ticket is compulsory then the original tourist go their and all over the country and they really wanted to see the taj not the tourist.
first time i heard him call Gladys GF....they make a great couple hopefully someday get married and have a channel together
Thank you so much 🙏🏻❤️ Maybe a joint channel will have to happen!
amazing , loving your vids bro
Liked👍✔️ Commented💬✔️ Loving❤✔️
as soon as i come to phuket, your in india. would’ve love to meet you 😭❤️❤️
Noooo 😭 we just missed each other because I just left Thailand for a secodn time!
visit Samoa bro, you’ll love the country, culture and people 💯
I need to visit! Definitely on my list!
@Baked And Afraid are you from Easter Island?
They take pics with you guys because you have a fair skin color … that’s it . Not because you are hot or anything else lmao 🤣
Yeah nah, after seeing this - the Taj Mahal is definitely a skip for me. What an uncomfortable experience.
You have the right to say ,no. Why didn't he say no? They are not particularly good looking,rich ,or famous. Some guys are just clicking with them for fun. All young crowd. From small towns
@@induchopra3014 he did say no. They still approach. And then other people will approach too.. too many Inconsiderate locals imo. And why the hell are they even taking photos with them? They don’t even know who they are. They never seen white tourists before?
😂😂😂 good choice!
I would never go back to India . I spend so
Much money for a trip of lifetime . Got harassed, also people were staring all the time . They rip off with ticket prices . I find they have no respect for personal space . Such a beautiful part of history gets ruined . Yes they don’t understand Nooooooo lol very frustrating
I feel the same way you do. I broke the bank for this trip, only to be treated rudely everywhere
Wow id love to go one day but id only visit India in a travel group, this seems hectic! I dont understand why they would want to take pics? Absurd
Yeah I have no idea! India is worth visiting, but it is definitely not a vacation!
Love from Bangalore India ❤️
Thanks so much!
Maybe they thought you were George Clooney and his wife 👀🤣
😂😂😂💪🏻
Really these people are really feel me shame for as an indian
India will try to improve these things 😞
Yes lets hope! 💪🏻
Anyone wanna feel famous, go to Taj now.
Oh, I hav an idea, make a shirt saying $20 for a photo and plus $20 for taking glasses off, make them pay for what they ask😅
Even Indian don't like delhi .. please visit more states of India Delhi is among worse city of India .. visit north eastern part of India or visit himachal pradesh..you will see real India.
Jai hind jai Bharat 🇮🇳
crazy place, i never want to go there wasting money and damaging my brain !!
Yes exactly
Very nice capture dear can i use 2 short part of few second from this video thanks dear❤❤
Thanks a lot! Yes you can!
@@Travelwithchris very thanks dear bro❤❤❤❤❤
Great country but people make it look bad when they throw rubbish on the floor.
مرحبا عزيزي كريس متألق ومبهج كالعاده اين الترجمه بالعربيه نحتاج لنتعرف اكثر على الفلوق
Thanks for watching
What exactly are they going to do with the photos they take with you guys?
Who knows, that's what makes it weird and uncomfortable
they are going to say "look at these white people i took a photo with!" they worship whites and celebrities. it's embarrassing. even medical doctors and real doctors i know here LOVE to worship the pink jewestern folks and listen to whatever the world governing bodies say. credentials matter over information and critical analysis, and celebrity matters even more. truly the next superpower. lol
I wanted to go next year, but gosh, I'm blonde and 6"3, I'm worried now hahah :)
You have the patience of a saint my friend. That’s the Taj Mahal off my bucket list. 😢
Yeah admire it from a picture bro! Go to Machu Picchu or Angkor wat , definitely better
@@Travelwithchris SORRY FOR THE EXPERIENCE BRO BUT THIS SHOULD BE EXPECTED ANYTIME IN A PLACE LIKE TAJ MAHAL AND YOU SHOULD HAVE PROPER KNOWLEDGE FOR TRAVEL INDIA. AND YOU RELLY HURTS ME
As an indian 🇮🇳 , I suggest you to visit taj or any other famous trip in Early 5 am at the morning, because In morning there will not much crowd there
And you can enjoy it 😊 AND PLEASE COME ONE TIME I REQUEST.
Not true at all, the monuments, temples etc. in India are billion times better than any site in the world, if they’re toured correctly,
Cool video, I'm going there but have no interest in going inside. I'll see it from across and along the river.
That would probably be best!
are you planning to visit Arab gulf country? hope to see you there 😎😊
Yes definitely planning on visiting very soon!
Hey Chris, Sorry that you were ambushed by the locals. I have never been to Taj myself, but obviously wanna visit sometime. Hope your next travels in India go smooth.
You and Seara are doing a great job; you both are super fun to watch and continue keeping it real.
Keep posting more and continue traveling guys!
Learn to say no. If you want privacy. Your body language should not be too friendly
Hi Chris,
Well to India just don't allow any single person for taking selfie if you say yes to 1 person all will gather to you just say no to them as long as they are family no issues you can and be careful with the beggars as well they will also keeping coming if you give money to one just explore the country side and enjoy 😊😊😊😊
Thanks so much for the support!
This is really embarrassing that people in my country don't mind their business, sorry guys for bad experience.....even I am from north....but I would say north is not safe as compared to South ...
Thank you so much for the support!
You are judging one place by that, there are so many places in india where the "white person" Doesn't get harassed. It can be annoying but it's more than the gov't there who sets up some rules or boundaries towards treatment of foreigners . Also the ironic thing is that would not be the video it is if this didn't' happen. Imagine Chris or any other vloggers go to USA an Europe and other western countries, no will give them permission, attention and maybe that much different content.
Indians get mobbed for pictures in Russia. In Africa, in East europe
Chris you are great , I am just pointing out some facts
Don't go on the days when entry is free for all
Yeah terrible decision ahahah
@@Travelwithchris simple rule, if there is entry fee anywhere, the crowd will be better ( well mannered) , amount of entry fee is directly proportional to quality of the crowd
Bro I am very sorry that you couldn't enjoy your visit to tujmal because people only what photo everytime.
Yeah this is really a kind of funny Indian people taking photos of tourist. Main motive is for shared, post and likes.
😂😂😂 well none of them tagged me lol
8:14 facts
💪🏻
I wish I was there!
Hope you get to visit!
Easy. I would just ignore them.
Hi, love your videos. You must visit Punjab especially Golden temple in India. I am sure you will love it.
I definitely need to return!
Chris are Artis in India...hehehe..😊😊😊😊
I have a feeling that the Indians think that Chris is Jackie Shroff. That may be the reason why he is getting mobbed.
😂😂😂
wow those people 🙄
Terrible right
I would not like random strangers stopping me to take my photo. It is very strange. You handled it well!
Ahahah yes it is terrible lol I definitely am not a fan
Thanks.
Thanks Lee!
