  • In this video I make my way to India on some of the longest travel days I have ever experienced! Arriving in New Delhi, I meet some friends at the hostel, go to Akshardham and see the most amazing water show (not featured in the video due to no phones allowed), the one and only Taj Mahal (my second World Wonder), and then I must catch a bus to ride up to Dharamsala.
    Follow along on this new adventure of mine as I cultivate a new inner peace within this beautiful country.

    It's 2024 , solo girl travel in india is not big deal. Foreign still think we are in 1970s

      Yes sometimes it feels like we are in 80s. Some foreigners really don't have a good experience in india...like gypsy in sneakers( Sussane bastings). You can watch their india trip specially Delhi wala video nad Goa also.

      Yes solo girl travelling in India in 2024 is a big deal since everybody knows what sort of a pathetic misogynist and unsafe country this is ! Infact 1970s India was much safer and better for foreigners!!!! Come out of your pseudo- nationalistic mindset

    Your experiences within India will depend upon where you are going and how much you are spending. You can experience India like these people:
    1) Victoria Magrath
    2) Matt and Molly
    3) Sean King
    4) Backpacker Ben
    Sean King chose hotels in India between US$ 20 to US$ 30 because these hotels have affordable bars. He used to spend evenings in the bars and he met several college students and became friends with them. He chose to experience cool weather in India, have Himalayan cream and see natural beauty so he visited Himachal Pradesh and really loved India.
    Backpacker Ben is that guy who stayed in hotels costing US$ 5, roamed around in slums, hustled in street markets and ate street foods. These kind of foreigners are not interested in tourism in India, they want to experience Indian culture by seeing real and raw India. A lot of nationalist Indians don't like these kind of vloggers because they feel that they are ruining the reputation of India.
    Among English vloggers only 10% of vloggers to India are like Backpacker Ben and Small Brained American.
    However, in Russian, Korean and Spanish 90% of the vloggers travel India like Backpacker Ben and Small Brained American.

    The reason why you have less views on this video is because people deny the fact that India is not only about Taj Mahal , stop posting Taj Mahal thumbnail representing India , India is more than Taj Mahal.
    earlier creator used to get views about it , but it doesn't work anymore.
