Hi everyone! This is episode four of my India series. In this vlog, I travel by train from Delhi to Agra, the home of the Taj Mahal.
I leave my hostel in the Paharganj area at 5:30am to catch the 6am train from New Delhi Railway Station. It is almost pitch black dark in the alley and the main road towards the station is not well lit either, but there is some activity in the form of rickshaws and some street sellers that up the noise level in the area. I quickly hit Delhi traffic near the railway station and make my way through the rickshaws and people to the departure area, where I go through security and find my coach and seat.
On the train itself, I show some of the features of the seat and the train in general. The journey starts and we are served some water, tea and biscuits, whilst one can also buy snacks and food. I also give a tour of the toilet in this particular coach.
The train arrives in Agra and I make my way through the station. A rickshaw driver then drives me towards my hotel and I give my first impressions of Agra along the way. Once at the hotel, I check in and give a tour of my room.
I hope you enjoy this video! I would really appreciate if you could COMMENT in the comments area and please LIKE the video. Also, if you haven't already, please hit the SUBSCRIBE button.
Happy exploring!
Willie

Scary so early morning in that dark alley! Not sure I would have had the metal to walk there and then. And crazy the number of people on the floor of what I presume is the departure lounge in the train station. You connect expertly with the locals over cricket.

It was very interesting to experience Paharganj and the station at that time! The number of people on the floor was concerning especially as it appeared that many spent the night there. Could not be a comfortable experience. That cricket book and the banter about recent matches were important hooks (no cricket pun intended!). Appreciate the support!

If you spend so low you will get this type of service only boss..like you could have took Delhi to Agra vande Bharath train is the best in class..fully modern train..you could have took very good hotel even for one night ..as you said you expected 5 star or something..aur might be anb also works ..could have booked uber for one day and lot of things you could have done differently if you would planed everything..like hotel on Google maps review..trains..cab..even taj Mahal ticket online.. everything..online..so no difficulties you would have faced..next time plan thing's well👍 have a great journey ahead 👍

Hey, hey, Sir Willie!! Always a great adventure tagging along with you! And a light-bulb went on this time! Never had them before, so I ordered some Marie Biscuits. So watching your next video, I'll try them with a cup of tea ... see, hear, taste a bit of your fun times. Quick question: what tea shall it be ... your expertise appreciated? What's big in India? Stay safe, have fun, thanks for sharing, as always. Greetings from TUS.

Cheers Jim! Always a pleasure. The Marie biscuits was a big surprise, it is a very common product on the supermarket shelves in South Africa and something I'm very familiar with. It was almost like a taste of home away from home. As for the tea, I would recommend some Earl Grey or a Darjeeling! Greetings

Woww, Jesusss! 😂😂 A Quite day in India, I suppose! 🤣🤣 Beautiful! Value for money for sure! My question is, are there a lot mosquitoes 🦟 where you are? How big and how dangerous is this problem coming from the uk? I’ve been unable to protect myself from the mosquitoes in Jamaica, nothing works, but thank god they are relatively harmless! But what about in India?
@willieexplore
@willieexplore 12 дней назад
Hi Bip! It was a very interesting day that is for sure. Good question on the mosquitoes. My understanding is that there are many in the rainy season. I did not encounter many but there certainly were some. As for malaria, I believe it is not a huge issue in the parts I visited (Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan) and anti-malarials are not usually advised unless you visit eastern parts such as Odisha (as per the website FitForTravel). Hope this helps and that you managed to stay safe in Jamaica! Greetings
