Thanks a lot Ivana for making the video. I saw some random foreigners comes to India for YT generating subs than explores the tringle thing and goes away and giving their own way and advising us. I dont want to blame them but they should know the ethics as a outsider.
You have covered most of the aspects for a foreign traveller. Yes you are right "If India needs change, Indians will take care of it, no need of outsiders".
Even though I am an Indian, living in India, I haven't been able to find the time to travel lately. So I'm just travelling vicariously through your vlogs. Thanks a ton lol.🙈
i am indian, I tell you which states are safe for foreigners North India : himachal pradesh, ladakh, jammu and kashmir West India : goa, maharashtra, gujarat South India : kerala, karnataka, tamil nadu, andhra pradesh, telangana North-East India : sikkim, darjeeling, meghalaya, arunachal pradesh, assam, all north-east state are beautiful. my personal favorite states : Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh, Jammu & Kashmir, sikkim, goa, kerala, all north-east states, Must Visit don't go bihar, jharkhnad, uttar pradesh
India is the best country on Earth. It has the friendliest people, the best food, the best culture and the smartest people. More foreigners should come and visit India which is slowly becoming richer and a superpower. India is slowly becoming a top tourist destination in the world, probably the best! Jai Hind!
Most countries don't think so. Many people know that foreigners think India's streets and food are unsanitary (not talking about how to eat) and that traveling in India can cause diarrhea. Security is the worst, and most people try to charge foreigners a higher price than they should. Many developed countries do not consider India to be a comfortable place to travel.😊
@@뷁쀍-i2d China is far worse. In terms of security, foreigners can be innocently kidnapped at any time (Two Michaels from Canada). USA just put China in the do not visit list. China's streets are worse. They use sewer oil to cook your food. Look it up. India is rapidly changing because people are getting richer and infrastructure is being build so fast your head will spin. India now has more roads than anywhere in the world.
Just discovered your channel - so much good advice. I'm visiting India in August during the Monsoon. Would be great if you could do a video on monsoon travel. People tend to put you off travelling during the rains but from my experience elsewhere, rainy season does not stop you from enjoying yourself and also has its advantages.
Girl! You even got the indian accent in english❤, thank you for sharing this video showing other aspects of India besides the " ugly, sad or negative " , I went to India on 2018 and I love it! I was in love with india since I was a child and I am a bollywood/semiclassical kathak odissi dancer now, so dreams come true! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you thank you! I will be back
Great video. PS the train website doesnt work lol. I don't know whats with India but things seems to break down often I hear! God willing it will be back up soon
Great video! 👍 So .. don't arrive with cash (Australian dollars) to exchange, just withdraw from an ATM making sure I've activated international transactions??? Thanks, I was going to arrive and exchange.
Yes that's the best way, but pls do make sure you have at least $100 USD cash on you at all times in case something goes wrong. Also have multiple bank cards (at least 2 from 2 different banks) and preferably a credit card on the side. This system has always worked for me
you've made such valuable pointers for tourists, almost what a local will tell someone. You're right, you have to research every step because the bandwidth of quality varies a lot here. The tourist kiosks and tourism help centres are utterly useless. Plan ahead, and keep asking locals they'd be happy to help.
U can visit south India u can see variety of different foods temples heritage and culture especially Kerala and Tamil Nadu it's amazing Kerala, munnar, kochi, wayanad
Ivana, being a fan of travels and India, I really like your videos, your attitude and personality. Your videos are like a bit of fresh air for me, so keep them coming :-) You're doing a very good job.
I subscribed to your channel to develop my skills in speaking and listening to English. I think you speak very well. your videos very nice. congratulations. I’m from Kozhikode Kerala
The reminder about being a respectful guest in India is so important. Understanding and appreciating the local culture can make any trip more enriching. What's one cultural custom or tradition in India that surprised or fascinated you the most?
Yesterday Transport department issued fresh notification for safety and faster evacuation of passengers. Among many, one measure is to have a glass breaker hammer at all the seats and toughened glass windows though it should have been done much earlier. But the sad thing is people take these hammers with them. So always carry your personal glass breaker hammer during AC bus travel.
Please visit after some research Telangana & Andrapradesh.. may Telangana tourism & Andrapradesh tourism help you, even try Tamilnadu tourism.. then your total South India complete.. have a great sweet memories gain.. 🙏🇮🇳🚩☪️✝️🕉️🚩🇮🇳🙏
I have wanted to visit India for so long,but when i look at some videos, im not sure it`s the right place for me as a solo traveling black woman. Still your video has answered most questions I had and i really appreciate you taking the time to cover important things without filling the video with fluff.
@@shantanu.phadke i wanna stay in a few 5 star hotels at least 1 night. I already checked dates and it seems like may and june are the cheapest months. But other than those hotels i will have basic expenses like any other tourist which i dont really know how to budget
@@armandoavilez859it will be scorching hot in May and June especially in the north India (except in the Himalayan regions). Don't worry about budgeting. You will have a range of options from the world class luxurious to the dirt cheap alternatives and many in between for everything- accommodation, food, travel etc.
Avoid AC Buses or carry your personal glass breaker. It could be a life threatening problem in bus catches fire. Although it is rare but still better to be careful.
The Govt of India has notified that bus operators should have glass breakers installed at every seat. But still insist on carrying a personal one as people usually steal it. I always found a missing glass breaker from the casing near the emergency window of AC buses.
I just want to see Taj Mahal and River Ganges and that’s all. I am not Interested in other parts of India. The country generally seems too messy and too crowded for me.
I will not say India rather i will say BHARAT is amazing true nation tremendous diversity in culture, language, geography, food but still every bhartiy breath it unlike many countries where diversity is a far flung concept. Any foreigner who travels to india for 50 or 60 days with open mind would love to live here only and will stop visiting other countries because he will not find such diversity anywhere in the world.
This video is incredibly helpful, especially since I'm planning to travel to India in a few months! Can't wait to explore India in 2024! ✈

it was extremely informative and learning it from a foreigner's perspective was really fresh
An awesome travel vlog, Ivana Perkovic. Great information which will help for next visit with my family.

Well said, Ivana. As someone who has lived out of India longer than in, it’s a good reminder for me as well.
Ah good to hear, thank you!

I am planning to go to India in a month or 2 do you have a really good itinerary I could do research on?
Hey dear I am from India and it looks like that you know more about India than me.
Haha high praise!
@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial I live in Canada now.
Hey! Is it possible to go for runs outside in shorts in Kerala (Kannur)? Or would it be rude?
Video about apps is a great idea! This video is really good, cannot wait to go to India again!!!
Yay thank you and welcome back soon!

Love you❤❤❤❤ world's
Ivanaji🤗👈👏👍🙏👌🇮🇳
Thanks Ivana!
In Maharashtra Ajinta caves are very beautiful i requested you visit it , it's nearby Aurangabad ,lots of foreigners are come to visit this place ❤
Tourists now can use UPI for payment....it is accepted almost everywhere in InDia.
Yes but if u ended up some remote villages of India u should have some cash around 5k to do ur groceries or anything u will use during stay.
@@raptorgaming7242 Yes but UPI will decrease the need of frequently going to ATM. She said she used to go to the ATM weekly.
😊😊😊

Don't think like that because many Indians are also black
India is safe sister , visit India 🙏🙏
If you have travelled in sleeper classes then only you appreciate 2nd/1st Ac 😅
Question is 10k cad enough for 5 weeks in north india?
Yes. More than enough if you avoid 5 star hotels.

Very good information.
And i also request you to cover your all body parts because some places it's not alow to come on short clothes
We Indians also unable to explore our own country in entire life. So foreigners please avoid stereotypes about India if you not visited India yet.
Hallo👍👍👍👍👍
First time I heard Kim John instead of Kinjal 😅
I have watched the entire vlog of 2018 when your father was in India and witnessed the health emergency of your father.
Yuuup that's was such a shocker!
🕉️🙏🪔🙏🪔🙏🪔🙏🪔🙏🪔🙏🪔🙏🕉️🙏
I also think its the water that makes people sick.
Hi I am a content creator from Africa can I talk to you please ❤
I think I hear an Indian accent from you.
Avoid AC Buses or carry your personal glass breaker. It could be a life threatening problem in bus catches fire. Although it is rare but still better to be careful.
This sounds very dramatic?
🤔🤔🤔

Dont forget to add kashmir in your list.....kashmir is heaven on the planet earth
Hold up. She got sick anyway.
I'll stick to just ACTUALLY eating healthy and exercise.
You should brain strom as to how to get foreign followers.
Only then these info will be useful to the necessary audience.
I have foreign followers?
I just want to see Taj Mahal and River Ganges and that’s all. I am not Interested in other parts of India. The country generally seems too messy and too crowded for me.
That's some good self reflection! It's good to know what you enjoy and think would be the best experience for you.
where are you from? croatia, serbia?
I will not say India rather i will say BHARAT is amazing true nation tremendous diversity in culture, language, geography, food but still every bhartiy breath it unlike many countries where diversity is a far flung concept.
Any foreigner who travels to india for 50 or 60 days with open mind would love to live here only and will stop visiting other countries because he will not find such diversity anywhere in the world.
Love 💖 you Ivana madam ji
