The Most Stressful Place in the World! 💵

- I returned to Delhi, my least favourite place in India. You meet some amazing people in India but sadly here in Delhi you'll come across countless scammers who just ruin your trip. Today I encounter the biggest scam I have had so far in India, the rickshaw scammer. Hopefully this video can help you if you decide to go India and how to avoid getting into these situations.

Bollywood movies makes me think about how beautiful India ... but your video makes me know the truth about India
Bolllywood movies are always recorded in the more exclusive areas of India it's only a portion of the whole country of india
India is not small country.....7th in the world according to area......it's had long past history....in India, every city has old and modern side...
I didn't know that the U.K. is still poor after looted their every penny. Imagine living in "so called first world" and still don't have money to stay in outside of slum areas in the "3rd World country"
@@Gemoy_Bohay
Return all the looted money with interest, I can bet that, western is going to be a 5th world shit hole, like it was used to be before colonization. 🙂
@@Gemoy_Bohay I salute to your brain who judge a country bigger than 24 European countries by seeing a video 😂😂
India is one of those places i would never visit it's to dirty to many scammer's and just plain to noisy.
China is like that too. Both countries are still developing and a symptom of that is insane level of greed + lack of human dignity from the common man.
Describing your mum ?
@@GalacticTradingPostDon't equate China with third world countries like India, China is far more advanced in every aspect than India

@@victory548 Maybe your government should put up a tourism pamplet to recommend places to India to go. Not many tourists will know the difference between new and old delhi.
I have been scammed by Indian people so many times, OMG. Crazy.
So many times, How?!
@@Mellow04 most of us can't even count how many times. It's a daily occurrence. I get at least 3 calls every fucking day from Indians wanting to sell me one scam or another. If Indians would put that much energy into their country, they'd probably have a good economy. But, Indians are too lazy to actually work for money. It's easier to steal money from people in other countries.
They are notoriously known to be the most dishonest people around
@@DinaZevadia Typical reta** nonsense!
I am an Indian and everyday we get like 6 - 8 scam calls. They target the elderly pretending to be law enforcement and whatnot, saying your son is in jail, to avoid digital arrest pay this and that. One lady recently died of suicide or heart attach because one such call told her daughter is running a sex racket, She couldn't take it. This is what it is, and people of my own country are going to tell me shit because I decide to speak the truth, This is a country that lives in gutters, unless you're wealthy and can create your own bubble through the absolute shit of a life that this place has to offer. And the government is busy playing religion based divide and rule games, and dumbf*cks of the country fall for it every time, instead of calling out for development, jobs, better quality of life they shout on and about their religion and false pride.
As Indian I sometimes wonder why would anyone come to this country? Only visit if you got Indian friends or you're rich to afford bodyguards to deal with scammers.
I vowed never to return to India because of all the scamming all day every day. Unfortunately, only managed to meet a few nice people

@@J24-u5f For sure, a local would be good. I started the Trip with a South African ex who looks Indian, I had no bother when with her. As soon as she went home to see family, and I was alone, the vultures didn't stop. I got to the point where I couldn't cope with it anymore.
The main cities in India suck and are disgusting. Constant rip offs, begging, pick pocketing, extorsion scams... If you go to India go to the country side or more rural areas. The people are lovely, warm, and honest (for the most part).

As an Indian, even I have faced such situations multiple times. I end up arguing with the driver almost up to a physical confrontation. Anyway, this is not going to change about India anytime soon. It's gone way too deep now. It's in the blood of an overwhelming majority of Indians. I recommed you use Uber for making auto or bike ride bookings the next time you are here. It will save you a lot of frustration.
Also, an ardent follower here. I've been following you since you took the pan-Britain road trip with Mr. Bald. Keep up the good work!
A shame mate right. Well unfortunately we got scammed by Uber in Agra as well
@@BackpackerBenUff , speechless 😶
Pardeep hello. Really? Is it that deeply inbedded in many Indians now? That really sucks because India does have a lot of heritage (Vedas, Upanishads, etc..) that has been given to the world plus other beautiful places and some good people. Some much of a bad thing just overshadows the good stuff and makes us not want to go back to all that hectic treatment.

I remember when I went to India 10 years ago. I was backpacking for the first time and planned a year in Asia.
I went there as a naive kid wanting to experience culture and have some fun. India was my first stop. It was so miserable and I hated it. I started in Goa and went north towards Nepal. Nearly cancelled my whole trip.
I admit I was naive. But it was just scam, after scam, after scam. I got diarrhea my third day, I had a train ride from hell that was supposed to take 12 hours but took almost 24 hours. The second I stepped outside my hotel I was flooded with men trying to rip me off. I could see the dollar signs in their eyes when talking to me.
A wealthier Indian man I met said something to me that stuck: "People here don't act like ths because they are poor. They are poor because they act like this".

I live in Chennai and have visited Delhi many times. In my experience, safety in Delhi is a major concern. But it’s not just that-the pollution and dense crowds are also challenging to cope with. I’ve been scammed many times there, and it feels like Delhi is not just the capital of India, but the scam capital as well. What’s even more shocking is that the local cops seem aware of what’s going on but remain oblivious, allowing scammers to operate without any concern. When comparing Chennai and Delhi, Chennai is much better overall. The only issue in Chennai is the weather, which is hot and humid throughout the year. In Delhi, the climate varies, with very hot summers and colder winters. However, when it comes to scams, safety, and pollution, Chennai is definitely much better than Delhi

"delhi belly" is real phrase. myself I was badly sick 3 times in Mumbai, with violent vomiting on each occasion. that was in the very early 2000s. i also suffered serious diarrhoea after visiting the taj mahal which is not too far from delhi. a very crazy, confusing and difficult country to negotiate. but if you are open minded and understand all the survival tips it can be a fascinating place to visit. you need to drink bottled water and wash your teeth with the same. be very selective with the places you choose to eat at. VERY. also watch your money and do not take it out freely. keep passports and other important documents close to your waist. and stay alert and dont be too trusting. oh yeah, cross the roads with the utmost care else you will end up as road kill.

Thank you for subjecting and posting this video of India. I find this whole experience insane and as you indicate on the subject line, The most stressful place. How do you do it??? Incredible....
My tip for anyone visiting India: treat Delhi as an extension of the airport - leave there as soon as you’ve landed (unless you’ve got money to spend on mega hotels and private guides)
Agreed, but I also experienced scamming in Varanasi, Culcutta & Mumbai, so it might be fairer to say try to avoid all cities?
@@cthulhurising4860 haha yeah but Delhi is next level. You just have to be smart about things and tell people to get lost
I'll never go to India
Kela ki boki aso
Evertime I see a video of India I ask myself: WHY should anybody want to go to this country?
I don't know why people go to countries like USA where you will get shot and killed or why people go to UK where you will get knifed and killed.
millions do
You are seeing only the negative part here. India receives more tourists than Bali annually
I would have been better if WHITEs said the same thing when they were coming to loot. FKN WHITE
Stupid question 😂
I like the way you insist on asking for the change. It helps reduce the number of scammers
From 100 Rupees to 1000 Rupees for a Rickshaw ride. Most dishonest people. How can you trust this people..
He was correct. This guy sits 5 people that can get 100 * 5 == 500. He was overcharging 2X. Plus was polite 😅 the drivers are generally retards and could have been got agressive
Spent 5 months backpacking round the Indian subcontinent. Delhi was the worst - if you go to India, get out of Dehli straightaway - scams start at the airport and some hotels are in on the scams. Apart from that we had no stomach problems, ate vegetarian only, drunk bottled water. We stayed in cheap hotels and homestays most of the time and ate in local resturants - no street food. We found Indians to mostly be very friendly and interested in why you are in their country. Aye its noisy and chaotic but also colourful and different.
This looks a bit like Southall,London.Same smells too.
What??? London has places that look and smells like Delhi??? 😮
@@CoolCat-rw6pp Yes,total garbage hole.
@@CoolCat-rw6ppdon't get excited dear indian nationalist.
It's because these indians are starting to move to London
No there is no place like Delhi in whole world
Northern India is full of scammer, pollution and what not
You are saying London city smells bad
I have heard many people in India saying that India is better than China 😂
So yah I guess you people should see someone
Accept the truth
When in India on my last trip I used Uber to get a price for rickshaw trips. It’s amazing how the drivers differ from city to city…in Chennai they try and overcharge, but in Mumbai they were happy to turn on a meter.
Absolutely true
Sometimes you need to experience the chaos, there’s nothing like it. Agree with Ben, get a local guide, worth every cent. I did Bangalore last year, experienced a little chaos but manageable, even on your own. No issues with scamming, hassles or ripoffs in Bangalore but used public transport.
As always in every raw video I've seen about India streets, only one word to describe it. Chaotic! 😵💫 And Ben, you may want to start taking supplement like betaine HCL, or apple cider vinegar or lemon water to maintain your stomach acid ph level so that any possible bacteria or virus gotten into your stomach gets obliterated by the stomach acid. Your stomach acid is your first line of defense. Getting diarrhea indicates food poisoning due to bacteria contaminated food or drinks.
I've been, Not a bad vid Ben,
But honestly, The Delhi I experienced was far worse than what you showed.
You can't trust a soul.
Thanks for the truth... never wonder why anyone goes to these places
You should carry smaller denominations of the local currency so you don't have to ask for change back. Solves the arguments
This!
Or the driver carries them and doesn’t scam?
@@BackpackerBenohh they forgot :) master scammers
Yep - I dont understand why Ben doesn't just grow a pair and use his brain. Just give the robber 100 rupees and walk away. Giving him 500 or 1000 when Ben knew he is a scammer is plain stupidity!!
or book from Uber
Delhi is amazing I spent a 2 weeks there last year, only one rickshaw tried to scam me, and I always carried small notes. Try and find one good driver and use the same one all the time much easier. To avoid diarrhoea you have to be Very careful what you eat.
The "this is all I have" works pretty well with these guys.
I don’t know how you do it in India. Just nothing entices me to go.
Sri Lanka so much better.
You couldn't pay me to go to India
But I would pay to go to Sri Lanka
Yes Sri Lanka is nice.
@@יונהאליראשון why are you copying the same thing everywhere? you are doing more disservice.
@@יונהאליראשון hello saar
@@nikhilkay1 guy is pretending to be an Israeli, typical Indian nationalist can't handle the slightest bit of criticism of India
Ladakh, kashmir, himachal pradesh, east India, kerela. Man really knows India!!
Very good driver, but you have nearly crashed a few times to be honest....😂😂😂
Worst driver in the city
If anyone reading this is contemplating coming to Delhi, as a local I'd highly not recommend! Please stay away from this place as much as you can! You are not missing out on anything! However, if you plan to visit the Taj Mahal from Delhi, consider flying to Lucknow (which is closeby), or directly to Agra!
As a general rule of thumb, avoid all the big cities in India, including the ones in the south as they are a crowded mess.
If you are looking to come to India, then look for places in Himachal pradesh, uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir, and laddakh.
If you want to experience something different travel to the north east! Amazing people, with great food and scenes. Moreover, if you want a beach holiday, then avoid Goa and visit hidden gems in Kerala!
Great vid Ben & Kat, reminds me of a time..I've itchy feet to go to where i want to, just need the old confidence back.. Regards
Do it 😎
👌@@BackpackerBen at some point for sure.. Need travel partner like I used to have
@@BackpackerBen
Serious question mate... Where do you spend a penny if you have the runs and can't find a loo?
🤔
Every vlog in India on youtube are literally the same. Scammers all over the streets, endless car honking, streets are dirty as fk
Also the people are disgustingly dirty.!!!
Sadly India is not for beginners.
It’s not for advanced
@@BackpackerBen Definitely it's only for creeps like Ben the cheap.
It's like the final stage of hell on earth.
I've been to way poorer places, cambodia, laos, but nowhere is there so much ... desperation
You couldn't pay me a million rupees to spend even one day in this shithole of a country. This has nothing to do with racism, I just can't stand insanely overcrowded, insanely noisy places where everyone sees me as a target.
That’s tonight’s telly sorted out ‘brother’! This will be another banger no doubt. Great content at the moment mate… hilarious viewing.
You go to Old Delhi and visit the largest spice market and what do you expect? You won't cough, is it ? Old Delhi is over a 1k years old but didn't see you visit New Delhi. Show both sides. You just wantedvto show the poorer side.
Just don't show your prejudices.
I am asking you as an Indian, is that rickshaw driver right?
Is this a Scam vlog, Ben has multiple times visited India in the past if he has horrible past experiences, then why did he return to this country, this is a low level Sensationalism focusing on one incident. He knows to be careful as Delhi and some places in Northern India are not the best of places in India for tourist due to its bad reputation of various scams. Southern India and North Eastern India are better options for tourist
You can always be careful but you can’t never avoid it completely unfortunately! 😣
He is smart enough to avoid it he has widely travelled around the world, just call the police and fix the scammer😮
@@Newbournej it only means you are more aware but doesn’t mean you avoid at all costs, sadly! Police don’t give a damn! 🙁
Just take ride hailing Apps such as Ola and Uber for travel or Delhi Metro, while deliberately going for unregulated 3 wheeler hiring for travel looks like it was done for Sensationalism as he knows fully well that Old Delhi has a bad scam reputation for overcharging tourist
@@Newbournej even many Indian s don't go I have never been there it's like going to a no go, and run down council estates , and other dangerous area's in London and other dangerous cities in the UK
