Airtel sim: Includes data..so it would be ur settings needs updating mostly “international data roaming” should be enabled. For Taxi: You got scammed … prepaid taxi no need to pay extra. u can complain to the Prepaid taxi desk ( phone number should be on bill u got). I take Meru / Mega from desk outside ariport exit door, little costly but they r better service nice cars tracked etc and no isssue as you only pay at counter outside airport. Uber ( no desk ) is far inside need to walk cross 3 roads to reach “App based Taxi” location ( sign clearly marked on boards ) where u can get ride. Food : I would not eat on streets unless its famous place ( hygiene issue ) Quick snacks I would try Uttapa ( veg pan cake ) Idli & Vada ( rice and lentle donuts ) Samosa ( fried spicy potato )
I keep reading some info on reddit and such that foreigner woukd need a local indian contact to vouch for you/reference. And provider would send an otp to them which makes it almost impossible for tourists to get one. Is that not true?
As an Indian, i simply avoid the private taxi and always use Uber/Ola. It's simple, cheap & hassle free. But 100rs is not much (You basically get 1 Litre petrol for it - 7-10 km of car travel in city is possible with 1 litre of petrol)
I went to Delhi 3 months ago and they tired to do the same thing to my partner and I. Fare was 600 but tried to charge 1000 at destination. But we really put our foot down and said NO. Paid 600 and walked away
Blusmart cab/taxi, the best, is available in Delhi (although not available in all cities in India). The other options are Uber, Ola, and inDrive. Install the apps. Safe and happy traveling. ❤from India.
Majority of places in India uses digital UPI payments...if you want change, then you can ask any nearby shops autodrivers or stalls will not have...Also since you are in Delhi the hub of scammers, say a firm no and put your foot down do not let anyone scam you be it rickshaws or sellers . Indian street life is like survival or fight of the fittest
India is always an adventure. Not always a pleasant one. Not surprising that they are losing out on foreign tourists compared to many other Asian destinations, when you need to struggle for almost everything.
Enjoyed your videos of Delhi! When you got the SIM Card at Delhi airport, did you need to give in a passport photo, only we've read online this might be the case?? Thanks Ant
Interesting video! QUESTION re your Airtel sim - I'm an avid Asia traveler and this will be my first time in Delhi and was wondering if the Airtel store found out and/or told you why your data never started for both you and your partner? I hope your info will help me avoid this issue when I buy my sim shortly. Was the Airtel service very good? DId you go anywhere outside Delhi? Did you get sick from eating any of the street food? Thanks for your help.
The guys in the Airtel shopped had it working withing minutes. It coverd us during our trip to other parts of the country and was decent. We didn't get sick during our trip.
Thanks for your reply. Great to hear you didn't get sick! Did you eat a lot of food at the small places? How many days were you there? My friend sent me a study that one third of name brand bottled waters contained bacteria including e-coli. So I am curious - you drank bottled waters and no problems? So that I can prevent my sim not working as yours did, what did the airtel people do or tell you as to what was wrong that both your phones didn't have data from the initial activation at the airport?
We were in India for a month. I bought the water form the reputation brand. About the Airtel SIM cards, I'm not sure what the exact problem was, maybe about some setting on my phone. However, the Airtel people did help me get my SIM cards working. They checked the settings on my phone and made sure that everything was correct.
1. The dish was called "muttar Kulcha" i.e "Chickpea curry and Kulcha". The Bread you ate is called "Kulcha", its not "Chapati". Its a variation of chapati. More like a bread.
Nice video for any first time foreigner landing in India. The scam pointers are really important because as a foreigner, prices quoted for you would be double or more. BTW you were scammed by the prepaid taxi guy also. You are not supposed pay anything extra. You can complain by calling the number on the receipt. They have the cab drivers details.
Hello Indian here!! I would suggest you to stay in better areas in Delhi NCR like Connaught Place, Aerocity, Gurugram, Noida. Also, avoid visiting Paharganj and Chandni Chowk.
My husband and I are British and we always stay in Pahargang. Personally one of the best places to see real everyday indian life and not far fron train station.
@@kerryberry5786 That's your mentality of India being a poor country when it was your ancestors who looted India for 200 yrs. Currently, India's economy is much more than UK even after 200 years of colonial loot. I think you should focus on UK. 20% of the population has gone below the poverty line in the last 5 yrs and your NHS system is going from bad to worse.

This is a very good list, but I see foreigners are less open to visit these areas as they usually stuck to Tak Mahal etc and hence they go back with a perception that India is just a dusty dirty country. What they don't know that there's a reason why it's called the Indian subcontinent. Its full of mountains, beaches,snow and forests with some really beautiful off beat places with better services than cities and way cleaner with less noise
It's great to hear this as we like many tourists have planned our first trip around the typical places mentioned but we want to explore more deeply when wee return for the 2nd trip. ;-0

Delhi is full of scammers and extremely crowded, air quality index is really bad and full if scammers..The best beautiful, greener, calmer, rekaxing places and helpful people and tasty food including non-veg like beef and seafood will be found in North-East like Assam, Meghalaya, Darjeeling and South India like Kerala, Pondicherry etc ♥️😍
No you’ve been scammed by the driver. A prepaid taxi is exactly that you don’t need to pay anything extra then the prepaid SIM card you’ve also been scammed. By the way if you decide to take the Metro it’s very cheap but no alcohol is allowed in your bag it will be scanned before you get through the barrier.

I do this all the time.
Thanks for the information 👍
It happens to us all the time 😢 yesterday a guy said 350 PHP p\p for a tour and at the end we had to paid 3000 php.

After digital currency came, its hard to get change. You can pay digitally and none can scam you. Every transaction is done digitally across India.

If you prefer a mid-range hotel, consider staying in Karol Bagh. For a more modern experience, look for accommodations in Connaught Place. Have fun

I am sarfaraj met in Jodhpur nearby fort and my brother also rehan
Hello. It was nice meeting you both. :-
Why would anyone ever pay extra for a prepaid taxi...
Probably because the driver insisted and when arriving in India for the first time 300 rupees seemed better than an argument in an unknown neighborhood with an audience of locals.
@@AlwaysonaJourneyyou got scammed 12:36
Yes. It looks like I did. On arrival. I thought I'df last longer than that.
You have been cheated. What's the meaning of prepaid if one has to pay extra afterwards. 😢
Exactly. I've learned now.
Pre paid is the fix price and they all know about traffick delay
:-)
Hi I watches your other flight thst was delayed 9 h? Air India? Air Asia? thank you
It's Air Asia.
Brother your sim card activated in 2hours im going to india
it tooks a little longer. About four hours. Then there was an issue as no credit had been loaded. Afetr a visIt to an Airtel shop I managed to get it working.
What was your experience??
In my case it was immediate like 15 min or so it got activated. Just reboot your phone couple of times
Hi there!
Was that a Tourist SIM card or regular SIM card?
It was regular sim card.
It happens anywhere in the world what matters you manage it ❤😂🎉😢😢😮😅😊 be safe guys
You're right,there things do happen everywhere.
No place in the world so much scammers as India
Take Uber, or there are designated places to take taxi . Take the metro
Thanks for the tips.
Best restaurant in Jodhpur is Jodhpur Darber non veg

Taxi fare fine from Airport to Karol Bagh.
I think so but we've been told we shouldn't have paid the extra 300 after paying a prepaid amount of 500.
Airtel sim price Rs.299 only
We paid 450Rs. We gave hime 500 Rs note and the staff told us he has no 50rs change. Oh well....
Only data? Each day 1.5 gb includes?

It was a scam, you never pay extra
