    It's interesting (and annoying) what you experienced there in Pushkar. We were going to go there, but only had 5 weeks to zip around and decided to skip it as we were going to Varanasi anyway. In our five weeks, we never had anyone really hassle us. (apart from people occasionally wanting to see us stuff). Even in Varanasi, also a touristy and holy city, we were able to walk along the ghats largely hassle free. (For touts, I often pretend I cannot speak English and say "Non comprehendo" and keep walking. )

    • @JumpingPlaces

    Another nice video. It's interesting - and annoying - about your Pushkar experience. In our five weeks in India, we never had any problem with scammers. Touts were occasionally annoying - but I would often pretend I spoke no English and said "non comprehendo" and kept walking. We were thinking of going to Pushkar but decided to skip it, as we were going to Varanasi anyway. We traveled independently for 3 weeks (Udaipur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Kichan) then had a private guide for Jaipur, Varanasi, Delhi. Maybe it was the presence of the guide that deterred scammer,s but we also avoided them for those first 3 weeks too. (we are two guys, so that might have also helped).

    • @JumpingPlaces
      @JumpingPlaces  4 года назад +1

      Yeah scammers we haven't run into that many really but the touts are everywhere. This was the only day where we ran into so many, 4 different guys tried the flower blessing scam within a short period of time. I later checked online and it is a very common scam in this place, another viewer mentioned it happened to him and his friend 9 years ago in this exact same place

    Your mistake when dealing with scammers/fake sadhu's was engaging them in the first place. As soon as they approach you just say "No thanks" and keep walking, this can happen anywhere in the world, but is particularly bad in India. (Never tell them that you've "just arrived") This is good training for when you arrive in Varanasi, which can be much worse.

    I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying traveling along with you through India. It really brings back my own travels there. You gave us a great feel for Pushkar. I really enjoyed the views you shared from Savitri Mata Temple. Pushkar's best attraction is the camel fair that happens every year sometime in Oct/Nov.
    You also did a great job of illustrating why visitors might want to skip Pushkar. There is a lot to see in this area of Rajasthan and I'm not aware of any place in India that has more reports of scammers and cheats than Pushkar: women experiencing the same type of grabbing that Carol dealt with in Paharganj, merchants taking payments and then outright lying about the value of the currency they were handed, and near physical altercations over donations. It's a shame that India-and Pushkar in particular-is such a free-for-all in that sense.

    It happens with Indians who come to Rajasthan from other parts of India as well not just with foreigners.. Best thing to do is just keep walking if you are a foreigner.. For us, we can get into confrontation, but foreigners shouldn't do that.. And these ppl are not limited to religious places, you will find them in Transportation hubs and hospitality sector, specially when looking for cheap hotels.. They will say a lot of things and will offer to give you the best deal..

I went to India 6 times and stayed over 3 months each time... but that time in Pushkar, the man shouted at us so badly, for no reason. We were just sitting at the lake and meditating, but the man went CRAZY and told us we should leave!!!!!! Later he also asked for money, the same guy (the fake priest), watch out, there are numerous "fake babas" all around Pushkar (and all over India too). Anyways it is a lovely place to walk, have nice food and. great place to buy silver items too, just like in Jaipur!

    Sorry but its India's issue. Its not with only foreign tourist but its the same for all.
    The best way to deal those dumbs (that you did to last one) just ignore, don't talk to them at all.
    May some day government wakes up to deal with this issue.

    except scammers hindus never wear black clothes at such holy place... genuine priest dont ask for money by giving flowers and they speak own language not english. age of scammers is between 30 and 40( no job and NO passport because of police cases lodged against them) and they always wear full lenth clothes.
    except scammer nobody will ask you such irrelevant question. every scammer ask same questions. citizens dont carry guns in india so dont worry just tell them that you are going to dial 112 or 100 and they will start running away.
    having one local guide is really affordable and it helps a lot. guide help to explore unknow nearfby places and they help us even to select best food joint. indiapersonaltours,com and few others are affordable websites. hope this helps!

We had never experienced any country like that before. Trash everywhere, poor air quality, extreme poverty, little/no infrastructure, scammers hounding us throughout, people looking at us in an unfriendly way ...by day three we were on high alert after a taxi driver attempted to maneuver us into a robbery situation. On four separate occasions random men put hands on my wife while none of the locals did or said anything. And also, I have noticed that for some reason people don't mention the smell.

    I'd also be weary of men in white (or some spiritual atire) with a group of Indians hanging around. It's customary there to honor Gurus. They believe there is healing and good karma being in there presence. Just another front for commerse. Acts of kindness is the stuff to look out for. Paradoxically, India is a mind based culture ( take first). You & Carol are heart based people ( give first). Not surprising you are finding the culture there challenging. Have to constantly keep your guard up, & it's exhausting.
