Gabi ,what you are saying brutal, seem like adventurous for us. See how helpful Indians are ,that they provide you with their food. Autorickshaw driver looks cool with you.
@@ridewithgabi bro, India is 7th largest country, so it will take time to travel from one place to another and don't you think if you cautiously get off your destination then you didn't have to take autorickshaw and one more thing bro, winter is approaching in our country and will remain till February, especially in north India so better avoid travelling by bike.
India is such a beautiful country with beautiful people. It breaks my heart to see the mountains of garbage in every open space and along every riverbank. I wish the government would take action to keep the country clean. It has to start with education... but it has to start!
Constructive criticism is most welcome, however let me correct you. Since last decade Clean and Green India Mission under Government of India has done wonders in our Country. Yes there are some garbage loitering in some tourist places but over all, situation has improved in Waste Management in India. Give us time, within few years, those issues shall be solved. Even in many developed countries you will find mountain of garbage. It's not an excuse however it's all about citizens attitude and mentality towards cleanliness surrounding.
@@sauravkumarchand9691 i hope it works. It was bad in the cities when I was there in 2019. Maybe different areas are doing better. I saw a documentary on the Ganges and how difficult it was to get people to understand how important it was to be good stewards. Cultural changes take time.
@@nealwright5630 Can you mention which places you visited in India. In between India is pretty vast Country, which even our own compatriots haven't visited completely, I doubt about yours false claims.
So sorry you had this experience Gabi, I would’ve cracked up; you kept your cool … not that you had much choice. Some of the comments you received seem harsh coming from people who live there and know all the ins & outs. Love your reactions and am so glad you are enjoying your experience on the whole 😊.
@@ridewithgabi Thank you for your reply Gabi. Anyone who can go to and travel throughout India is very brave. I’m of Indian origin, born in Uganda & living in England for 50 years 😱, I’ve never been there … watching your videos shows me what the land of my origins is like … crazy madness yet beautiful also 🤣. Hey if you ever come to London I’d love to meet & chat with you. All the best, Sanjeev 😊.
@@ridewithgabiIt's great to see that you have taken the negativity of the comments in your stride. Not everybody has the skin for it. So, kudos to you on that. However, notwithstanding their tone, some of them do have some merit and some great tips for travellers, especially foreigners who might naturally be disoriented by an unfamiliar setting. One thing that I feel hasn't been covered by others but is a very important consideration for travellers is the tiered system the trains operate in. Different trains enjoy different priorities on the same route. In times of very harsh weather conditions, like the extremely foggy winters of the north (as seen in the video) or the torrential rains of the coasts, the system as a whole naturally experiences delay. However trains with the higher priorities (particularly premium trains like Rajdhani, Tejas, Vande Bharat etc.) are kept on time, to the detriment of lower priority trains like the one you travelled in, presumably was. If a lower priority train starts running late and is being followed by a higher priority train, it is made to stop at a station to let the higher priority train pass. So once a lower priority train loses time, it becomes a compounding issue as it's made to stop again and again to let other higher priority trains pass so that at least they maintain their schedule. Something similar happens in air travel as well. A flight in this weather would also have been delayed but there this phenomenon happens across carriers. Some carriers may be rather punctual while the budget ones are not. In Indian railways, the carrier is just the one (Indian Railways) but the trains themselves exist across various strata of priority with the premium ones at the top and the budget ones at the bottom. They differ immensely in their amenities as well, including but not limited to catering services, cleaning services, attendant services, in-train information displays and PA systems etc. One catch though is that the premium trains tend to have very few stops which are generally very big cities along the route, separated by hundreds of kilometres. That's how I know that your train was a lower priority one. No decent train would stop at a hamlet, and absolutely never when it's just 35kms from the previous station. So it's about striking a balance. Also, use online booking and the digital payment system. It has now been extended to foreign tourists. The online system brings with it free SMS updates before and during the journey. Safe travels! 😊

I’m from Singapore. I travelled alone to India 3 times and it can be very stressful taking the trains especially along the cow belt of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Many a times, the trains will be delay especially during the winter months due to fog cum air pollution. Once I took a train from Agra to Amritsar and waited for 14/16 hours in the train station due to dense fog. Luckily I bought travel insurance and was reimbursed a few hundred dollars. Despite all these delays, I really enjoyed my train rides in India.
For the first time i read/heard some foreigner to say "cow belt".. man you have my respect... UP, Bihar is like florida of US... atleast used to be.. its changing but people are people you know..
I haven't seen anyone uptill now who is so cool and calm even after such a chaotic situation!! Man you are blessed ! 👏👏👏 Welcome to India 🙏🙂 Happy to have you 🙏🙂
Honestly Pat that wasn't that bad actually, cos the next station was only 35 km away. There are train routes in India where if he missed a stop the next one would've been like a 150 km away. Imagine that. 😅
This was definitely not as bad as he made it out. Probably, his bike elsewhere, hence the anxiousness. You were just abt 35 km from the bike and it was you missing the train station. When planning a journey by train or even some busses, keep the local app handy and CHECK the current status and estimated time of arrival always. Be ready abt 20 mins ahead( set an alarm or may be 2). Note: the trains stop at only major junctions for like 10 to 20 mins for refuelling, cleaning and refilling water, but at all small stations it is just 2 mins. Hope you enjoy the rest of your journey.
yeah I have to say a few extra hours on first class is not things going to shit. I did a similar train journey and the stated time was 16 hours. Some did say 10-11 hours, but hey it is India! :)
India is easy. This guy is making his own trouble. India is not crazy at all. This guy should get more organized.... missing the stop, hehehe 😅 clown. Stop blaming India. 😅
This reminded me of an incident happened back in 2019. I'm a North Indian and it was my first ever visit to South India. During our college tour, I was about to miss my station in Goa.. it was around 4 in the morning, I was sleeping and my friends forgot to wake me. The train was about to leave the station and everybody else has already left the train. Thank God, a gentleman woke me to ask where am I going.. and when I looked around, I was shocked that none of my friends were there. But the train was still at the station. So I rushed to get my baggage and met them outside. I was so mad at all of them since no one noticed I was still inside the train. 😂😂 I appreciate how you managed the situation and maintained your calm. I believe optimism is the only key to have such great experiences from the life. You can either cry about your circumstances or try to learn something from them. All the best for your future journeys. Btw I just joined your channel yesterday and i enjoyed watching your videos. Good luck 😇
What did you enjoyed ,him complaining every time about everything or him selling your country's poverty for views to feed the preconceived notion about your country as land of beggars and cows.
My dear brother.. First of all, we know very well how poverty is deeply enrooted in India and its not a crime to show the rural life of India. So we must learn to accept that without getting offended. Secondly he is only explaining that these are the things which could go wrong while one is travelling. Plus he didn't got into any kind of argument with anyone as far as we can see on the video. And this experience was certainly not very good for him.. the train was around 6 hours late.. so his reaction was completely genuine.. just try to put yourself in his shoes.. Lastly he appreciate the things which he really like.. if it was all about gaining followers.. then he might have never criticized anything about India.. he is only trying to be honest and real. Good night 😇
@@rohitmank0tia brother first of all rural India is not equal to poverty they are far more richer and healthy. Second do you know economic division of north and south Italy, do you know the crippled economy and poverty of southern Italy, visit Italy and you will know and there train it's no doubt worst in entire EU. Poverty is not India specific it exists every where you go no matter how rich the country is you have image of Europe get out of it and reasearch. They love capitalisation of poverty in India they have done that for generations they enjoy it because it make them feel good about there little existence and they call it life changing experience or psychological experience
@@kumarcrazy3936 I feel like you were not treated kindly when you visited Europe. I feel a sense of animosity. I watched all his videos on India. Have you? If you had, you will see he produced some fantastic imagery of India, that for someone like me in the US watching, I am blow away and I just can't wait to come visit all of India. I believe you must be on the wrong channel, buddy. He has captured some incredible views of India that are so stunning that i even remarked in a comment, that they should be in a documentary or a tourism promotion for India! I believe you have your preconceived notions of past foreigners and you are holding him accountable for that! It is very unfair to judge him that way when I bet you have not even watched his other videos! This is the only video that is a little dull, and that is because he wanted to be honest about his journey, that traveling is not always a bed of roses. The guy has said many times, that he loves India, that he loves so much of India. He always talks about the greatest things India has to offer but also trying to be honest without being mean about anything, unlike you, if I should say so, with your comments on his country. He is a genuine person, watch his other videos! Or do you prefer the other YTers that pretend to your face how great everything in India is, and then spit out when your back is turned? And to be honest he has not said an unkind word about India. If you do, please tell me about it, i will be waiting.... I guess you prefer to pretend that everything is so perfect in India, that nothing needs to changed, huh? I seriously think you need to go watch his videos and come back with an apology.
@@Dan-xx5jq oh yeah every foreigners loves the cows, poverty and trash of India they love filming cremation of bodies it suddenly starts providing them psychological experience as if homeless people don't exist in west, people don't die in west. Every foreigner RUclipser are same with same title, with same preconceived notion of scam, filth, cow and poverty. And if I want to see India by someone else lense I will chose Indian RUclipsr. I don't want to listen people vining and complaining about the problems which they can't fix but have opinion on everything without understanding the societal complexity,culture complexity and judging a vast country with a lot of people and culture through same prism of Western society.
People usually prepare before 15 mins to get down at the right station. Indian trains won’t stop more than a minute for anything. This is the problem getting down in the middle at night. There are apps to track where the train is and to alarm the user.
Hello Traveller Gabi. I enjoy all your videos so so much. They make me happy. You are so friendly to all and you can tackle difficulties very simply. Bravo and thank you so much.
Also a very corrupt and dangerous country. I say this as an Indian. Specially when you are visiting the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar Madhya Pradesh Rajasthan etc...be very careful these people are extremely dangerous and cannot be trusted even for a minute..
That’s a good point… 👍 I thought about it because on the train they told that most probably I wouldn’t be able to get my bike so late at night. My plan was to find a hotel near the station and in the morning drive to Rishikesh. But yes everything happens for a reason and I am glad it turned out well 😉👍
Namsthe Gabi garu... I am really enjoing your videos... Thanks for visiting INDIA and showing my country to me.... Have a nice and safe journey... Waiting for next video.
Appreciated your realistic approach of narrating your travels. I emphatize with you, there is no perfect execution to all our travel plans. Traveling is an adventure - so enjoy the ride!!!! Looking forward for more stories from you😊
It's funny how in the beginning of the video you are all smiles. C'est bien beau, but i gather it did not end as hoped. As my Uncle from Hawaii was fond of saying "patience main ting". I think for a cheap ticket you will be sweaty. You have the patience of a Saint, no pun intended. That is what makes your videos so successful, in that you are so down to earth with some sensitivity. That bike is really cool and sounds good. The real deal. Thanks.
What an adventure! The guy pushing you while on your bike was classic! I was in Rishikesh in 2014. Really great place as far as Yoga and Ayurveda. I suggest take some time for self care and get some body treatments! Glad you made it! Bless x
Sorry for your ordeal but this is true India - expect the unexpected, always 😄 Good to see your calm demeanor in adversity. Looking forward to your experience in Rishikesh and beyond.
You stayed surprisingly calm during this difficult situations... impressive! you can be proud of yourself, seriously! I would have gone crazy as soon as I realize I missed the train station :D
No hates! But Britishers are very much responsible for poverty in India. What your ancestors did for 200 years with Indians is very cruel. Its just 75years of our independence, we are trying are best to standup again on our feet, with all the massive shit we were left with. We actually hope that you guys atone for the extremely cruel deeds.
Gabi your videos are amazing and for sure you get a different kind of experience travel around with train Make me so much laugh when you miss your station it appen to me one And not only that a simple mistake can take you some where else This is India lets live this beautiful moment of your journey
Namaste Gabi ! You're right it was brutal....but very adventurous trip. No food in a train and in a 1st class is simply wrong. Glad you've reunited with your bike and got to Rishikesh. It's really stunning.....get good rest and chill by the Ganga Ma. Om shaanti from North Germany .ps. perhaps you'll like to know about my longest train journey in India?:). Delhi -Chennai , 56 hours, 8hours delayed. Back in 90ies🤣🤣🤣
Travel tip. Don't book Train or bus tickets where u arrive late at night especially unknown place because in case of delay (which will happen in cold weather) u will be stuck without any other local transportation. Second, whenever u book a hotel especially a nonstar through Oyo, Agoda, Expedia, etc try to find out the hotel contact & confirm your booking directly (not through the call center ) as many of these hotels are no longer affiliated with these companies & when u will arrive u will be stuck
What an adventure Gabi!! I was so nervous for you in the tuk tuk travelling in wee hours of the morning in the middle of nowhere. Glad you to got to your destination safely and that everything worked out! ❤
I’m so glad your motorbike was safe and awaiting you! About 17 years ago when a group of us visited Johannesburg, every checked bag had been opened and missing some item. I hope things have improved. 🎉Never happened in any other airport. Looking forward to your Rishikesh video
Holy what an adventure! I was worried that you lost your bike, but wow, what a turn of events. Also, yah 1-minute wait... for a foreigner, it would have been really easy to miss that stop!
Don't trust Agoda at all in India. It's not common here and 99% of the times Agoda takes the booking without even checking with the hotel neither it notifies hotel after booking. And if you're transporting bike via train then it'll remain safe (if not packed properly chances of some damages are there) and you can only collect it at destination station from morning 8 till evening 6. We are used to delays so we never expect long route trains to reach destination exactly on time. Whenever you're planning to travel here, plan it accordingly keeping in mind to start off as early in morning and reach destination before 9pm because after 9pm all cities (except big cities) start closing down and transportaion becomes difficult and too costly
So sorry brother you had this experience 😔 in winter due to fog usually trains get delayed in the north side of India.. happy to see u handle the situation very good and hats off to you for that love from 🇮🇳
also trains in india has improved their timings recently a lot and unfortunately you were just unlucky also it stops in big stations for 10 minutes and moradabad is a small station
I just started watching your vlog. After watching 1 video it made me subscribe your channel. Watching your vlog makes me feel like Im traveling for free🙃. Thank you Sir for sharing your adventure. Can I make a request?🤭..... I hope and pray that you can visit Switzerland (My dreamland) in your next adventure. 🥰
Thank you 😊🙏🏻 my hometown in Italy is very new the border with Switzerland (chiasso) I made a quick vlog in Lugano 2 months ago. You can find it on my channel. But I would definitely love to go back to Switzerland 🇨🇭 during summer and get lost in the beautiful mountains with a motorbike
Really!😮 yes please go back to Switzerland someday.hehehe Switzerland makes me single until now hahaha. I already fell in love with that place🥰. I love to watch people traveling there. Yeah. Im doing a vlog ( your vlog) marathon now🙃
Sometimes I opt to fly rather than get the train. It really depends on the distance and the length of the journey. I know it is often tempting to go for the cheaper option but time has a value also, especially when travelling. I don’t want to feel too exhausted because it just makes me miserable and bad tempered.
Yes I totally understand. For me, I need a different adventure from time to time… and also in this case I had the motorbike with me, so the train was the only option
Thats a pissa Gab😂😂you are the same as a very good friend of mine. He loves travelling and has been to many places, but everytime we meet up somewhere, it's like he is travelling for the first time in his life, forgetting stuff, breaking his laptop and phone ect, it's like watching a comedy of errors, l piss myself laughing everytime.
Man! Big salute to you! I sincerely hope someone from Indian railways department must watch it, Train running with dealy is such a normal thing for Indians, Found your channel few days back and constantly watching it.
If you hate traveling in India, then don't visit as simple as that. There are plenty of genuine foreign vloggers who have experience wonderful time in our Country. We don't need hateful content creators in our Country. "Get Lost" is the word comes to my mind.
Except for the fact that you had to go to bed hungry, it was quite an adventure. The autocab driver was really very polite and went out of his way to help you and perhaps saved you from catching a bad cold by advising for some tea and also took risk to his own life as it is not at all safe to drive long distance on any road with low visibility at night with such fog around, especially on a light vehicle in India where some drivers from opposite flank tend to drive on the wrong lane and can ram into you any moment so 500 rupees he charged for 35 kilometers was very decent. You have to check from the official site while booking train tickets for long distance trains in India if food price is included in the ticket. On some premium long distance trains like Rajdhani, Shatabdi, Duronto, Tejas, Vande Bharat etc you can buy food from the railways catering onboard the train by paying rupees 50 extra over the advance booking price of the specific meal (breakfast, lunch, evening snack or dinner) without having to book meal while booking tickets but some other trains may not have any catering service at all so you always have to enquire while booking ticket if the train you intend to board runs catering setvice and if they do not, you have to arrange for yourself by buying meals or snacks before the journey starts.
Look at the if you would arrive around midnight this would be even more challenging without hotel and too cold to drive in the night... but good on you.. you made it in one piece.. good luck with the rest of the trip
Travel second class, cheaper, more people to tell you things, you'll be awake more and not miss your destination. Be safe. Seems like you were hungry for almost an entire day. Going hungry on a train journey is terrible. First thing, go to a vessels store and get a plastic dabba or bento box. Then go to a food shop and get Parle G glucose biscuits, the five rupees packs. You see people eating it in RUclips reaction videos. These are for emergencies, goes good with tea, good for sharing with people and animals alike. Then you have the Britannia Good Day cookies, and Britannia mini cakes. Pack up. If you see a store that sells South Indian snacks, get stuff like chakli(murku), kodubale, they have long shelf life, good munchies for train rides. Then get chiki, peanut brittle. Keep dry rations handy. It's cold right now up north, you got to be well fed. Bananas too, a couple.
He is calm since he is new in india and from a western country where people are more sensible. After few days here in india, he would also start loosing his patience. 😅
I wouldn't be happy sharing what is class as first class regardless of the the cabin for 4 ... That's excellent about finding the motorbike after such a horrendous trip ... enjoy the more chill moments for a few days
I am Indian and so glad I learnt so much drom the comment suggestions eg. Agoda booking, keeping track of the train delays, the optikns of four to a cabin or two to a cabin and most importanly booking food while booking one's reservation. I did not have a good experience with Agoda either and for that matter airbnb. Their snaps of the accommodation are fabricated and dont give one the true picture. Comments help
Its a pity you had to through that journey...I remember going on a AC train trip from Delhi to Chennai...but I did get some food. Good video all the same !!
Keep Twitter handy and tag railway official Twitter handles when you have issues. It usually invokes a lot of public response so the govt officials will respond properly.
I recently took the same journey and spent a total of 22 hours on the train. Extremely challenging but glad I did it. So glad I discovered your channel.
Missing station is really sad and frustrating bro I feel sorry for you. Whenever I travel and my destination arrival time is at night or early morning like 2:00 am, 4:00 am I will activate like 4,5 alarms 20-30 minutes before actual arrival time to stay awake or find someone who is going to same destination and ask him to wake me up (as a backup plan)..
@@Iam4R yes I heard about it 👍 The Principal told me about Online order and train delivery, especially with domino’s pizza. He did it for me on the domino’s app but it was too late. You need to order hours before.

During our college tour, I was about to miss my station in Goa.. it was around 4 in the morning, I was sleeping and my friends forgot to wake me. The train was about to leave the station and everybody else has already left the train. Thank God, a gentleman woke me to ask where am I going.. and when I looked around, I was shocked that none of my friends were there. But the train was still at the station. So I rushed to get my baggage and met them outside. I was so mad at all of them since no one noticed I was still inside the train. 😂😂
I appreciate how you managed the situation and maintained your calm. I believe optimism is the only key to have such great experiences from the life. You can either cry about your circumstances or try to learn something from them. All the best for your future journeys. Btw I just joined your channel yesterday and i enjoyed watching your videos. Good luck 😇
What did you enjoyed ,him complaining every time about everything or him selling your country's poverty for views to feed the preconceived notion about your country as land of beggars and cows.
My dear brother.. First of all, we know very well how poverty is deeply enrooted in India and its not a crime to show the rural life of India. So we must learn to accept that without getting offended. Secondly he is only explaining that these are the things which could go wrong while one is travelling. Plus he didn't got into any kind of argument with anyone as far as we can see on the video. And this experience was certainly not very good for him.. the train was around 6 hours late.. so his reaction was completely genuine.. just try to put yourself in his shoes.. Lastly he appreciate the things which he really like.. if it was all about gaining followers.. then he might have never criticized anything about India.. he is only trying to be honest and real. Good night 😇
@@rohitmank0tia brother first of all rural India is not equal to poverty they are far more richer and healthy. Second do you know economic division of north and south Italy, do you know the crippled economy and poverty of southern Italy, visit Italy and you will know and there train it's no doubt worst in entire EU. Poverty is not India specific it exists every where you go no matter how rich the country is you have image of Europe get out of it and reasearch. They love capitalisation of poverty in India they have done that for generations they enjoy it because it make them feel good about there little existence and they call it life changing experience or psychological experience
@@kumarcrazy3936 I feel like you were not treated kindly when you visited Europe. I feel a sense of animosity. I watched all his videos on India. Have you? If you had, you will see he produced some fantastic imagery of India, that for someone like me in the US watching, I am blow away and I just can't wait to come visit all of India. I believe you must be on the wrong channel, buddy. He has captured some incredible views of India that are so stunning that i even remarked in a comment, that they should be in a documentary or a tourism promotion for India!
I believe you have your preconceived notions of past foreigners and you are holding him accountable for that! It is very unfair to judge him that way when I bet you have not even watched his other videos! This is the only video that is a little dull, and that is because he wanted to be honest about his journey, that traveling is not always a bed of roses. The guy has said many times, that he loves India, that he loves so much of India. He always talks about the greatest things India has to offer but also trying to be honest without being mean about anything, unlike you, if I should say so, with your comments on his country. He is a genuine person, watch his other videos! Or do you prefer the other YTers that pretend to your face how great everything in India is, and then spit out when your back is turned?
And to be honest he has not said an unkind word about India. If you do, please tell me about it, i will be waiting.... I guess you prefer to pretend that everything is so perfect in India, that nothing needs to changed, huh? I seriously think you need to go watch his videos and come back with an apology.
@@Dan-xx5jq oh yeah every foreigners loves the cows, poverty and trash of India they love filming cremation of bodies it suddenly starts providing them psychological experience as if homeless people don't exist in west, people don't die in west. Every foreigner RUclipser are same with same title, with same preconceived notion of scam, filth, cow and poverty.
And if I want to see India by someone else lense I will chose Indian RUclipsr. I don't want to listen people vining and complaining about the problems which they can't fix but have opinion on everything without understanding the societal complexity,culture complexity and judging a vast country with a lot of people and culture through same prism of Western society.
People usually prepare before 15 mins to get down at the right station. Indian trains won’t stop more than a minute for anything. This is the problem getting down in the middle at night. There are apps to track where the train is and to alarm the user.
Hello Traveller Gabi. I enjoy all your videos so so much. They make me happy. You are so friendly to all and you can tackle difficulties very simply. Bravo and thank you so much.
Wow Gaby !! thank you for sharing all these extraordinary adventures ! you're brave !
My pleasure :) it’s fun to experience them, record them and share them here.
I will laugh at myself in 10-20 years 🤣
Trials & adventures in India. What a fascinating country. Watching your vlogs has given me the urge to travel.👍
Also a very corrupt and dangerous country. I say this as an Indian. Specially when you are visiting the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar Madhya Pradesh Rajasthan etc...be very careful these people are extremely dangerous and cannot be trusted even for a minute..
super raw footage of a typical indian journey n india itself. Appreciate it!!
Everything happens for good.... if you would have reached moradabaad at 11:30 pm you had to wait till morning to get your bike and fuel...!!
good point!
That’s a good point… 👍 I thought about it because on the train they told that most probably I wouldn’t be able to get my bike so late at night.
My plan was to find a hotel near the station and in the morning drive to Rishikesh.
But yes everything happens for a reason and I am glad it turned out well 😉👍
Hey gabi, whatever the situation you were there but saw that our country people are always there for your help & support.
Namsthe Gabi garu... I am really enjoing your videos... Thanks for visiting INDIA and showing my country to me.... Have a nice and safe journey... Waiting for next video.
Thank you 🙏🏻🇮🇳
Appreciated your realistic approach of narrating your travels. I emphatize with you, there is no perfect execution to all our travel plans. Traveling is an adventure - so enjoy the ride!!!! Looking forward for more stories from you😊
Waiting your video your vloging style nyc impress ❤️❤️love from india 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳big fan
Thanks bro 🙏🏻
It's funny how in the beginning of the video you are all smiles. C'est bien beau, but i gather it did not end as hoped. As my Uncle from Hawaii was fond of saying "patience main ting". I think for a cheap ticket you will be sweaty. You have the patience of a Saint, no pun intended. That is what makes your videos so successful, in that you are so down to earth with some sensitivity. That bike is really cool and sounds good. The real deal. Thanks.
What an adventure! The guy pushing you while on your bike was classic! I was in Rishikesh in 2014. Really great place as far as Yoga and Ayurveda. I suggest take some time for self care and get some body treatments! Glad you made it! Bless x
That guy was so kind. He didn’t accept any tip for all his help.
I am definitely resting in Rishi, thank for your words 🙏🏻
i also love the auto guy stopping and having a chai with you! only in india (and nepal) :)
The good news is you are safely arrived.
A difficult journey, but captivating to watch. Thank you Gabi.
Sorry for your ordeal but this is true India - expect the unexpected, always 😄 Good to see your calm demeanor in adversity. Looking forward to your experience in Rishikesh and beyond.
You stayed surprisingly calm during this difficult situations... impressive! you can be proud of yourself, seriously! I would have gone crazy as soon as I realize I missed the train station :D
Wow.. u really enjoying life man .. good luck bro
That tuk guy deserve 10 bucks buddy..so good of him to offer you some tea n cookies
No hates! But Britishers are very much responsible for poverty in India. What your ancestors did for 200 years with Indians is very cruel.
Its just 75years of our independence, we are trying are best to standup again on our feet, with all the massive shit we were left with.
We actually hope that you guys atone for the extremely cruel deeds.
Gabi your videos are amazing and for sure you get a different kind of experience travel around with train
Make me so much laugh when you miss your station it appen to me one
And not only that a simple mistake can take you some where else
This is India lets live this beautiful moment of your journey
Namaste Gabi ! You're right it was brutal....but very adventurous trip. No food in a train and in a 1st class is simply wrong. Glad you've reunited with your bike and got to Rishikesh. It's really stunning.....get good rest and chill by the Ganga Ma. Om shaanti from North Germany .ps. perhaps you'll like to know about my longest train journey in India?:). Delhi -Chennai , 56 hours, 8hours delayed. Back in 90ies🤣🤣🤣
Travel tip. Don't book Train or bus tickets where u arrive late at night especially unknown place because in case of delay (which will happen in cold weather) u will be stuck without any other local transportation.
Second, whenever u book a hotel especially a nonstar through Oyo, Agoda, Expedia, etc try to find out the hotel contact & confirm your booking directly (not through the call center ) as many of these hotels are no longer affiliated with these companies & when u will arrive u will be stuck
ciao Gabi , your nightmare is our funny adventure. but cmn you are strong man and im sure you was enjoy too. tks for ride us around
Yes for sure… it was a great adventure overall. Little bit of Drama on RUclips is always good 😜
What an adventure Gabi!!
I was so nervous for you in the tuk tuk travelling in wee hours of the morning in the middle of nowhere. Glad you to got to your destination safely and that everything worked out! ❤
Ahah yes! Thank you 🇮🇳🙏🏻😉
I do understand your concern, but consdring the vast hinterland of india , it is much safer
You are so brave . I wish I could travel like that.
OMG what a hell of a trip :) travelling in india, hahaha.... rishikesh is beautiful though, enjoy!
These are the times when I ask myself, 'What did I get myself into?' Stay well Gabi!
🤣🤣
In India if you want to finish on time, you must go with Rajdhani, shatabdi and other premium trains or check about the train before here in India.
all of ur exhaustion will blow away after travelling rushikesh
what do you mean? 🤔
@@Dan-xx5jq Rishikesh is a beautiful place in the Himalayas, very relaxing
I’m so glad your motorbike was safe and awaiting you! About 17 years ago when a group of us visited Johannesburg, every checked bag had been opened and missing some item. I hope things have improved. 🎉Never happened in any other airport. Looking forward to your Rishikesh video
Can confirm
Things have changed a lot in this country post 2010 . You’re welcome to come and enjoy the country from sep to march :)
Indian hospitality at its best.....
You are brand ambassador of india 👍👍❤️❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
I salute the people serving Mother India
Holy what an adventure! I was worried that you lost your bike, but wow, what a turn of events. Also, yah 1-minute wait... for a foreigner, it would have been really easy to miss that stop!
Yes! 😄 I think it just stopped for 1 minute because they were trying to recover from the big delay
@@ridewithgabi otherwise in Moradabad it usually stops for more than 10 mins
Usually we as locals get up 5 min before train reaches the station and stand near door so as to be quick in moving out of the train.
@@harshitagarwal7475 😂😂😂🔥🏆🙌
Its called skill,whatever you record its makes very beautiful
Very good video. Incredible India. But such a nice country ! Enjoy !
Thank you so much for this interesting vlog.
The rikshaw person charged you very less for 35 km reserved tariff.. this is india bro.. hospitality is everything to us .
Don't trust Agoda at all in India. It's not common here and 99% of the times Agoda takes the booking without even checking with the hotel neither it notifies hotel after booking.
And if you're transporting bike via train then it'll remain safe (if not packed properly chances of some damages are there) and you can only collect it at destination station from morning 8 till evening 6.
We are used to delays so we never expect long route trains to reach destination exactly on time.
Whenever you're planning to travel here, plan it accordingly keeping in mind to start off as early in morning and reach destination before 9pm because after 9pm all cities (except big cities) start closing down and transportaion becomes difficult and too costly
Thanks for the tips 🙏🏻
Nice video....watching from east java 🚩
Very nice video Gabi
So sorry brother you had this experience 😔 in winter due to fog usually trains get delayed in the north side of India.. happy to see u handle the situation very good and hats off to you for that love from 🇮🇳
also trains in india has improved their timings recently a lot and unfortunately you were just unlucky also it stops in big stations for 10 minutes and moradabad is a small station
Please go lucknow from india this place is very clean and very beautiful & respected people in lucknow
Glad You Got Your Bike❤❤❤❤
USA❤❤
Bro, you are man of coolness.... Hat off for your patience😁
Sharing Your Channel Right Now❤❤❤
Namaste❤
USA
I just started watching your vlog. After watching 1 video it made me subscribe your channel. Watching your vlog makes me feel like Im traveling for free🙃. Thank you Sir for sharing your adventure.
Can I make a request?🤭..... I hope and pray that you can visit Switzerland (My dreamland) in your next adventure. 🥰
Thank you 😊🙏🏻 my hometown in Italy is very new the border with Switzerland (chiasso)
I made a quick vlog in Lugano 2 months ago. You can find it on my channel. But I would definitely love to go back to Switzerland 🇨🇭 during summer and get lost in the beautiful mountains with a motorbike
Really!😮 yes please go back to Switzerland someday.hehehe
Switzerland makes me single until now hahaha. I already fell in love with that place🥰. I love to watch people traveling there.
Yeah. Im doing a vlog ( your vlog) marathon now🙃
@@WanderGal2024 😂😂😂
Sometimes I opt to fly rather than get the train. It really depends on the distance and the length of the journey. I know it is often tempting to go for the cheaper option but time has a value also, especially when travelling. I don’t want to feel too exhausted because it just makes me miserable and bad tempered.
Yes I totally understand. For me, I need a different adventure from time to time… and also in this case I had the motorbike with me, so the train was the only option
the positive thing is that you get to see the real inda. and faced the situations that we face normally
this is wild. Great problem solving
Thats a pissa Gab😂😂you are the same as a very good friend of mine. He loves travelling and has been to many places, but everytime we meet up somewhere, it's like he is travelling for the first time in his life, forgetting stuff, breaking his laptop and phone ect, it's like watching a comedy of errors, l piss myself laughing everytime.
35 km tuktuk ride.Indian traffic is wild
I'm glad you found your bike.
Enjoy India, don't worry about time.
white man has watch, we have time. (from africa)
Lesson for travelers: Don’t miss your stop anywhere in any country!!
Enjoy your trip to india
I m new in your channel. God Bless watching from Dubai
Great Video
❤❤❤Just Found You, Awesome
Love Your Vlogs
Namaste
USA❤❤❤
Be Safe Out There❤
Man! Big salute to you! I sincerely hope someone from Indian railways department must watch it, Train running with dealy is such a normal thing for Indians, Found your channel few days back and constantly watching it.
At least I'm happy that you didn't have to struggle enough to get the motorbike at moradabad station
Travel in india. Love it or hate it.Great Video.❤️
If you hate traveling in India, then don't visit as simple as that. There are plenty of genuine foreign vloggers who have experience wonderful time in our Country. We don't need hateful content creators in our Country. "Get Lost" is the word comes to my mind.
@@sauravkumarchand9691 Whats wrong with you?
Except for the fact that you had to go to bed hungry, it was quite an adventure. The autocab driver was really very polite and went out of his way to help you and perhaps saved you from catching a bad cold by advising for some tea and also took risk to his own life as it is not at all safe to drive long distance on any road with low visibility at night with such fog around, especially on a light vehicle in India where some drivers from opposite flank tend to drive on the wrong lane and can ram into you any moment so 500 rupees he charged for 35 kilometers was very decent.
You have to check from the official site while booking train tickets for long distance trains in India if food price is included in the ticket. On some premium long distance trains like Rajdhani, Shatabdi, Duronto, Tejas, Vande Bharat etc you can buy food from the railways catering onboard the train by paying rupees 50 extra over the advance booking price of the specific meal (breakfast, lunch, evening snack or dinner) without having to book meal while booking tickets but some other trains may not have any catering service at all so you always have to enquire while booking ticket if the train you intend to board runs catering setvice and if they do not, you have to arrange for yourself by buying meals or snacks before the journey starts.
Look at the if you would arrive around midnight this would be even more challenging without hotel and too cold to drive in the night... but good on you.. you made it in one piece.. good luck with the rest of the trip
That’s true! But at midnight I would have found a hotel and then continue to rishikesh the morning after.
This was my original plan
The auto rickshaw guy was really sweet and polite.. that's really rare that you didn't get scammed lol
Very interesting, Gabi. Liked it very much. You're a good narrator. 👍 Keep strong 💪
Travel second class, cheaper, more people to tell you things, you'll be awake more and not miss your destination. Be safe.
Seems like you were hungry for almost an entire day. Going hungry on a train journey is terrible. First thing, go to a vessels store and get a plastic dabba or bento box. Then go to a food shop and get Parle G glucose biscuits, the five rupees packs. You see people eating it in RUclips reaction videos. These are for emergencies, goes good with tea, good for sharing with people and animals alike. Then you have the Britannia Good Day cookies, and Britannia mini cakes. Pack up. If you see a store that sells South Indian snacks, get stuff like chakli(murku), kodubale, they have long shelf life, good munchies for train rides. Then get chiki, peanut brittle.
Keep dry rations handy. It's cold right now up north, you got to be well fed. Bananas too, a couple.
Thank you for the great tips!
Crazy... anyway happy stay !!😄
You need to include the Food option while booking itself for 1st Class AC Sleeper.
Due to extreme cold In North India trains mostly gets delayed.. During from Months of October / November to February.....
He is calm since he is new in india and from a western country where people are more sensible. After few days here in india, he would also start loosing his patience. 😅
I wouldn't be happy sharing what is class as first class regardless of the the cabin for 4 ... That's excellent about finding the motorbike after such a horrendous trip ... enjoy the more chill moments for a few days
I am Indian and so glad I learnt so much drom the comment suggestions eg. Agoda booking, keeping track of the train delays, the optikns of four to a cabin or two to a cabin and most importanly booking food while booking one's reservation. I did not have a good experience with Agoda either and for that matter airbnb. Their snaps of the accommodation are fabricated and dont give one the true picture. Comments help
Its a pity you had to through that journey...I remember going on a AC train trip from Delhi to Chennai...but I did get some food. Good video all the same !!
Dear sir your journey of india very good i watch your all video your video verg good 🙏🙏
It's OK, just a part of exploring the world for a true traveler. Makes for a good story and you learn a lot.
Keep Twitter handy and tag railway official Twitter handles when you have issues. It usually invokes a lot of public response so the govt officials will respond properly.
That was really an adventure!
Oh wow! That must have been draining! But you seem to be loved by the universe it gave you this challenge and you made it all the way through bless ❤
Thank you :)
I recently took the same journey and spent a total of 22 hours on the train. Extremely challenging but glad I did it. So glad I discovered your channel.
Missing station is really sad and frustrating bro I feel sorry for you. Whenever I travel and my destination arrival time is at night or early morning like 2:00 am, 4:00 am I will activate like 4,5 alarms 20-30 minutes before actual arrival time to stay awake or find someone who is going to same destination and ask him to wake me up (as a backup plan)..
LOL the six hour delay brought you a lot of headaches 😂
Amazing Adventure!!
I felt I was traveling with you in the train. Thanks Gabi, for the adventure
Bro pls try vande Bharat train next time , believe me it's worth it for long journey or our lastest Delhi meerut rrts train. ❤️🙏
Thanks for letting me know 👍
@@ridewithgabi always brother ✌️.
Btw sending greetings to u from Kerala, known as most beautiful state in india (source : google)
Hope Vande bharat start running between Varanasi and rishikesh.
In first class....and it is brutal. I have to see that! 😂
😂😂 yes!
@@Iam4R Cool! That is good to know!
@@Iam4R yes I heard about it 👍 The Principal told me about Online order and train delivery, especially with domino’s pizza.
He did it for me on the domino’s app but it was too late. You need to order hours before.
Wow loved this video, omg when I see it IAM like wish to go back to India and travel with someone there on motorbike trains etc. 😊
adventure and misadventures makes our travel more memorable
I just learned new things from this
Awesome!
✌️
