Seriously Shocking First Impressions of INDIA 🇮🇳 [S8-E46] 

Thanks for watching 🙏 If you want to experience walking around Kolkata then check out our 360 degree videos on our web site. treadtheglobe.com/360-videos/ You can look around as if you were there! !! 👍👍

India is so hot, humid, crowded, noisy & dirty. It makes people crazy...

Indians said: we must work extra hard or else Shanghai would surpass us in just a few years time. 😂😂😂😂 nice quote and sweet dream.

Dirty, crowded, dirty, poor, dirty. You get the picture. Makes my skin crawl!

My late husband visited Mumbai and Delhi frequently back in the early 2000's. He was jarred by the disparity between the wealthy and the poor. There didn't seem to be any middle class . The people he encountered were always polite and helpful, but the cities were extremely chaotic. Best of luck navigating that madness

That would scare me and create so much anxiety walking though those streets! Thank you for sharing your journey!! ❤

Lived in India for 5 years and loved it! Wonderful people, fantastic cuisine and so many sights to see! Many of those powdered paints you get on the street, for Holi, are contaminated with lead and can be pretty bad for you!

I traveled to India for 18 days. I was in Kolkata too! I loved it!

Welcome to the future, ladies and gentlemen. Per India leaders, this is the next superpower and will be emulated by other countries all over the world.

Wow! That was really something. Looking forward to the rest of your adventure in India.

I envy you for being so courageous and travel all around the globe! You get to see and experience all sorts of great people and things!!!!

Love an Indian flower market the garlands they make are beautiful

The Sights...The Sounds...The Smells of India...Not to be missed...ThankYou.

Thank you for so gracefully seeing only the beauty amidst all the filth and dirt, and for trying not to break anyone's heart. Your patience in delicately describing the problems we've faced in my country before is truly admirable. I sincerely thank you. Love from Fethiye, Turkiye

Rocking it like the locals crossing the road. Doing things topsy turvy today. Chilling with an early morning beer before bed,ready for tonights shift. Safe travels guys.Loving every Sunday.xx

So looking forward to your travels in India 👍 !

Awesome. Thanks for sharing guys. And I'm with you, can't beat a biriani

Loved this video, brought back so many memories. Can’t wait to see you driving around in Trudy!

I am glad you are showing me Calcutta … they have such a history. Look into their eyes, they have such story telling eyes.

India is definitely a work in progress. So much to improve.

Love following you guys...... I'm going with my son after the Monsoon.....golden triangle first......can't wait...... Safe travels...

India is nuts,certainly an eye opener, good luck with the driving,

Thanks for the tour. I know this is the place I have know desire to visit. I swear some how I had smell-a-vision watching this.

G'day good to see you both are safe and well, that place looks very busy and full on, you certainly are going to have fun driving Trudy around there! Cheers and stay safe mate

Utter chaos. I don't mind some dirt here and there, but this is off the radar. But the people are so lovely and friendly.

The people are wonderful. Check out those happy days. They did india in a tuc tuc. Maybe you can get some tips from their vlogs.

Not all parts of India are dirty, some parts of India was dirty specially bazar area ,Kolkata is a highly populated city its a big reason. The population here is large so it is not possible to maintain cleanliness in all parts.If you can see the whole country, you will understand❤️🩷🙌🤗...so Take Love 💝

What an amazing country, they say you haven’t travelled until you’ve been to India, Im into street photography & it’s my ambition to one day photograph this awesome country & its people..literally a picture on every corner.. safe travels guys 👍

I kept checking your purse & pockets - looking for the stealthy hand of a pickpocket. It looks like you have things pretty well secured. Im amazed that such a poor area uses so many flowers. Here flowers are a rare indulgence unless we grow them ourselves. Im afraid I'd have to have some chai tea. The Byriani & bread looked great!

Love your watching you two are amazing good luck to you we look forward each week for next episode x

Awesome video as always Chris and Marianne. India and especially. Kolkata😳

Oh boy! I've always been intrigued with India. I absolutely love the food! The chaos looks a bit overwhelming but I guess that's part of the fun. I don't mind the humble dwellings and shops etc, but, the trash everywhere I don't like. i hope to be there to experience it for myself. Thanks for the introduction and for taking us along. I always love traveling with you. Hang on!

Glad to see you survive your first outing... 😊.. take care..

I hear that brasil travel couple, i just pray u will b safe...god bless you

if you want to see the modern and upscale part of Kolkata please visit Saltlake and newtown

I’m so excited for your travels thru India!!! It’s going to be nuts but such an adventure. There are billions of people in India so it’s important to get some perspective on how us westerners live. Can’t wait for your next video! ❤

Kolkata is such an engaging city, great food and it seems each street has some interesting historical architecture.

What an experience - for you and viewers! I am full of respect for your sense of adventure! Loved the mosquito scene - bravery in the tackle! Looking forward to the arrival of Trudy - keep safe! 🚐🚐

Lovely to see you enjoying India

Absolutely brilliant and grounded vlog. Really enjoyed it. Wow, the meal looked superb!!! The streets, well its life, its Indian life 😊

Food absolutely amazing in India get in to Thalis fantastic value .

We cannot wait to see you guys driving across India! 👍

Thank you for your wee tour, I so appreciate you two! The streets are definately not for the faint hearted or those with allergies...oy!! The chaos!!!

Not on my bucket list but really enjoyed the realistic tour you took us on. That lunch though looked absolutely delicious!

What an experience! When you were overlooking the flower market, what was on the ground everywhere? It looked like paper, but might have been plastic. Where do they house all those people? More please . Hugs from Australia.💖🙏

How extraordinary! What a fantastic peek into Kolkata life! Thanks! xx

it is hot hot summer. this is the best time to explore the mountains Indian Himalayas most beautiful part of India- Sikkim, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh. Ladakh is other worldly place most beautiful in India and one of the most beautiful in the world.

Be careful and stay safe

It is good you do this and share it with us because now I know where not to go. From start of the video I felt aversion for this place.....

Crazy noise 😮 safe travels ❤️

Spent a month through, Delhi, Agra, Jaipur in 2016 and I loved my time in India. I appreciate the chaos and the pace of the people who have things to do and go about getting them done. Make no mistake, it is a country on the rise and making great progress. I’ll certainly be returning soon to visit Mumbai and other places. Enjoy your time there. The spirit of the place just makes one feel truly alive.

Wow thanks for bringing us to india street... it looks difficult life thre but unique at the same time

Looking forward to the next par t of your trip. India actually scares me

Thank you. Stay safe.

All looks a bit overwhelming, & very colourful for certain, loved the flower's, & i could imagine the smell of insence, proper indian curry looked delicious. Looking forward to your next video, goodluck for your next leg of your journey 🙂

Next episode,.. the update on your week of diahorea 🤣

You both are too kind. I guess it is the British politeness. India ... the beautiful, the good, the bad and the ugly. Oxymoron in itself. Thank you for visiting Malaysia. Stay safe and Blessed journey to you both always.

Hello from Canada. You are EXPERTS in video editing for story telling. You achieve such natural continuity. What a talent. You make it seem so effortless. It really brings us into the experience. Cheers!

The first time i ever got on a plane in 2012 i boarded in Brisbane and landed in Kolkata! I’ve been to India 8 times now. I love it!

One of the best YT experiences so far - no insta high gloss - just real life, real people, the real world. stay safe - looking forward to many good videos. greetings from leipzig/germany

Hi guys, wonderful vlog. Was wondering if,in the flower market what do they use the strings of flowers and just petals for🤔 very interesting. Safe travels ❤❤

This made Palki Sharma speechless 😢

It's a rather fascinating place with a phrenetic hustle and bustle.

If I was in India I would easily lose 50 lbs because I would not eat one thing😂😂😂

India is a world itself , you have good , bad , rich , poor . You will see what you look for . If your mind is garbage you see garbage . If your mind is gold you see gold .

great stuff thank you 👍

If you decide to travel EAST toward GIR eventually , do drop by the CHAMBAL river.. there are many wildlife parks around there and the Chambal river is the only place in the eastern world where you can watch the SKIMMER birds (using their beaks like a trawl net) catch fish amoung wild crocs that are very large.. You can hire a boat to take you real close...

Thank you that was so atmospheric x 😍

Incredible India

The rubbish is just unbelievable!! I have to tell you my nerves were on high when you guys were driving in this country. I have probably got onto your videos years too late, but really enjoying them.

Just make sure trudy's horn work's, I've commented before it the roundabouts that are crazy, safe travels.🇬🇧🇬🇧

If I were the couple, I would have gone from Malaysia to China enroute to Britain and simply by-pass India. Poor Trudy.

Trudy need a nice new horn to navigate India 😊

Glad to see relatively little change since I was there in 1995!

Sensory overload for sure! On a different note... The car horn is a form of announcing yourself to the world at intersections and basically others around you. Thats why its so noisy there. Unlike the west where people tend to use it less and sometimes for the wrong reasons. The food? I could just imagine the overwhelming varieties too. I've had the chicken biryani and naan bread where I live and love it. I could just imagine out there in it's motherland. Take care and stay safe treading the world.🙏😊

The couple from Spain have told the world what India is like and what kind of race Indians are. The whole world knows.

OMG.. you are so polite.. seriously.. we all know India is filthy.. but Why!!!!!!?😮

Food is the most intimate union with a culture....

Interesting to see those yellow Hindustan Ambassador taxis. Apparently they were still making them up to 2014.

Did that driver even acknowledge your friendly greeting when you got in?? LOL the selfies are hilarious lol

Before you head to India, I was quite anxious about what you would face. Nevertheless, every experience you encounter will make you more appreciative

Spectacular, superb and interesting ❤❤❤ enjoy 🎉🎉🎉

17:15 if they have a true tandoor then the cooking process makes it rise faster than an oven or cooktop.

Have a wonderful day in India 🙏❤️

On arrival in India travellers may be presented with garlands of marigolds to wear round their necks. I was told by a guide that the marigold garland was not only a welcome gift but a practical one as the marigolds help to deter flying insects who dislike the strong scent of the marigolds.

Once again amazing.....are you heading North up to Nepal ish....then throgh the "°Stans"...and the re enter Europe via Turkey....Safe travels....🚙🚙🚙👍

Love your travels sorry to have missed you when in Americia

my india is great 🇮🇳👍👌beautiful brilliant

It is fun to watch!

From Kolkata you should travel up north to the Jim Corbett national park.. There Wild Tigers roam and many cases of man eating tigers running wild .. mostly up north from there.. Many places in India has man eating leopards etc so as long as there is a lot of people around , they don't show. Jim Corbett is a nice place where you can enjoy the fresh air cleaned by so many trees and the sense of being in a truly wild place. You can read the stories of Jim hunting down the man eating tigers while you are there to add to your sense of reality. Just stay in a proper lodge at night .. Locals will alert you where the last tiger attack was by gesturing to you to leave the spot which could simply be at the road side or a scenic lookout area

Eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel vlog ve video için kolay gelsin hayirli işler bol bereketli kazançların olsun 👍👍👍👍

Thank you guys for allowing us to be part of your wonderful journeys, not real impressed with India and can understand why we have a lot of Indians in other countries. Take care, be safe and God Bless you both, now the journey to go back to the start of your adventures, we have just got the two recliner chairs serviced, we have a coffee and tea making facilities set up and we about to take a trip aboard Trudy with Chris and Marianne 👍😇🙏

No wonder they call it a hell hole.

That's the city where the professional scammers reside. I love seeing life other places. Thanks for your videos!! Happy and safe travels!

Great video 👍

🙃Guess this is the India not many will see. We all know there are beautiful places to see here!!! Waiting to see how you guys drive thru here!! Stay safe see you soon!!

Great Blog sir ....keep us showing...💕💕💕💕

Why do I feel that you two’s channel is about to get more entertaining while in India?

I find India to be quite chaotic, and I hope that travelling there will still be enjoyable despite the potential challenges.

There is so much to see in this video. I keep watching and pausing. Then I unpause and tap the j button to go back and look some more. One thing I noticed in this video that I have not yet seen in your other videos quite as much is the amount of people approaching you or simply looking at you because you look different and a bit out of place. It was certainly an interesting insight. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you.
