1
Hello from New Delhi!
2
Ah, bah!
3
Many people think of India as the most chaotic and polluted country in the world.
4
I can't even hear myself thinking right now.
5
But in this video, we're gonna find out exactly what it's like to travel here.
6
This is my eighth trip to India, and I've seen a lot of this country over the last decade.
7
I have visited the most remote tribes.
8
She likes my beard, she keeps feeling it.
9
Experienced the craziest festivals.
10
Ah!
11
And nearly died in a bus crash.
12
On this trip, I'll be heading to the largest gathering in human history called Kumbh Mela, where 400 million pilgrims will take a holy dip in the sacred rivers.
13
In the few days leading up to that, I'm gonna be giving you my honest and unfiltered opinions on India.
14
As someone who's experienced more of the country than 99% of tourists, we're gonna hear the good, the bad, oh my God,
15
I'm exhausted, and everything in between.
16
And so let's get right into it as I try to find some street food here in Delhi.
17
Okay, so the first thing you have to know about India is this is more like a continent, not a country.
18
When you travel around India from north to south, east to west, it is so different.
19
The faces are different.
20
The languages are different.
21
The food is different.
22
The nature is different.
23
What you will find in one place, you will not find in the other.
24
That's why I like to refer to India as a subcontinent.
25
Right now, I'm literally at the southernmost tip of India.
26
When you see the coconut trees behind me, it feels like Thailand or the Philippines.
27
We have mountains in the distance, the Indian Ocean's right there.
28
In the south, the people have darker skin, but here in the north, they have lighter skin.
29
They speak Hindi, unlike a lot of places in the south.
30
And the food is way more hearty, and it's actually like the Indian food that you'll find in international restaurants.
31
They're talking about North Indian food.
32
Traveling around India, you will learn more about yourself than any other country, and I really recommend everyone to visit India at least once in their life.
33
And come solo.
34
If you come solo, you'll discover things about yourself that you never knew existed.
35
Oh, it just feels weird.
36
They like grab onto your legs.
37
It'll push you to learn, and your true colors will come out because you'll be in situations that make you figure out how to escape, how to navigate, and how to deal with people.
38
Ah!
39
Jesus Christ!
40
I'm quite like I'm sorry.
41
You'll get a lot of attention here as a tourist, but it's not bad attention.
42
It's great attention.
43
People are very happy.
44
Welcome, India!
45
Nice to meet you, bro.
46
Love you.
47
I got a heart from him.
48
They're curious.
49
They want to know what you're doing here.
50
They want to know what country you're from.
51
Even though they might not have the same concept as personal space that you're used to, they all mean well.
52
All right, as I'm walking through this food market here, I got to talk to you about Indian food because it is wonderful.
53
Growing up, I didn't like it so much.
54
I thought the curries didn't taste great.
55
But as I came here more and more, I realized that the food is fantastic.
56
So good, man.
57
Every curry is different.
58
Every flavor is different.
59
They have amazing soups and stews, butter chicken, naan, dosa in the south. So freaking delicious.
60
I could go on and on, but the food in India is wonderful.
61
It's one of my favorite parts about coming here.
62
It's crazy to think I've been coming to India now for exactly 10 years.
63
My first trip, I was 22 years old, exactly 10 years ago.
64
I did a three-month backpacking trip solo, started in Goa in the south and made my way all the way up to Rishikesh in the north, taking buses, trains.
65
I was on a super tight budget of like $800 per month, including everything, including accommodation, transportation.
66
Pretty amazing that I was able to do that.
67
I visited all through Karnataka, Goa, Mumbai, Maharashtra, Gujarat, all throughout Rajasthan, even in Uttar Pradesh.
68
And then throughout the years I've just been coming back.
69
I've gone to the northeast to the Seven Sisters to film some story with tribes up there, Arunachal Pradesh.
70
Then I went to Chattisgarh for another tribe story.
71
This man is the last guy to have his full body tattooed from head to toe, even his ears, every single part of his body the top of his head.
72
I did a whole road trip in the southern part of India, from Kerala to Tamil Nadu, and stopped in every town and village on the way.
73
I've been to Delhi more times than I can count, where I am now.
74
I've also been to Chennai.
75
I've been to Kolkata.
76
I'm in a human walking traffic jam with Chukchuk's bicycles, rickshaws.
77
I'm Ritzar in Punjab.
78
Varanasi is one of my favorite places in the world.
79
These guys are carrying a dead body right next to me on the streets.
80
Wow.
81
I just can't get enough.
82
This country has so much.
83
Even though I've had some stressful times here.
84
From a cut from like a tree, it just got infected and it turned black.
85
And some of my worst memories like food poisoning, like getting in a fatal bus crash where two people died.
86
I'll get into that story later.
87
It keeps pulling me back.
88
There's so much to do and see here.
89
There's considering that India is the most popular this country in the world.
90
1.4 billion people that just passed China.
91
I have been to 17 of the 24 states, so I will always be coming back.
92
More stories to be told.
93
I have a love-hate relationship with India.
94
Feeling really sick.
95
Trying my best out here.
96
When I was younger, on my first trip, I got in a severe bus crash where two people died on the bus.
97
It was two in the morning.
98
I was going from Udaipur to Jodhpur, a 10-hour overnight bus.
99
For some unknown reason, while we were on the freeway, the bus driver slammed on the brakes, turned the wheel, the bus flipped over, all the windows shattered, and I was sitting on the top bunk.
100
It was a double-decker sleeper bus.
101
I had glass all over me.
102
I remember checking my pulse to see if I was still alive.
103
Kids screaming and crying, blood all over the bus.
104
Thankfully, I only had a bunch of glass in my foot, which I was able to pull out.
105
But two people on that bus didn't make it out alive, and that was just really the scariest travel moment of my entire life.
106
Scariest moment of my life.
107
But for every bad experience, there's been something amazing that's happened.
108
And India does that to you.
109
I'm telling you, India is a drug.
110
It keeps pulling me back.
111
I can't explain it, and it's so far away.
112
It's on the other side of the world from Arizona, where I live.
113
But who am I kidding?
114
I actually came to this market to eat.
115
So let's eat.
116
Let's find some good .
117
This is madness, dude.
118
So many honking horns.
119
I've had this before, it's really good.
120
Two.
121
Mmm.
122
It's like spongy ice cream.
123
It's like soft and chewy ice cream.
124
Mmm.
125
One thing I love about India is it's really a country of hustlers.
126
Everyone's an entrepreneur.
127
They have their own businesses on the side of the road.
128
They sell stuff.
129
Like, yes, there's a lot of poverty, but people aren't just on the roads begging.
130
They're actually out hustling, trying to make a buck, trying to make money so they can survive.
131
That's something I really actually enjoy about India.
132
And in so many other countries around the world, people just beg, the homeless people, they don't have any motivation to go do stuff or to do work, but that's not the case here.
133
It's why I love seeing the hustle and bustle.
134
Whoa, it's like painful, but in a good way.
135
Wow, he's digging his fingernails in my scalp.
136
India really is a great backpacking country because it's cheap and it's easy to get around.
137
The train system here is immaculate.
138
The flights are really easy to get around as well.
139
Yes, it's a little bit daunting to get around.
140
It's actually a great place for budget travelers.
141
If you're on a shoestring budget, if you're worried about finances, then skip the Norweys and Switzerland of the world.
142
Come to India.
143
There's something for everyone.
144
I never booked my hotels here in advance because there's literally guest houses on every single corner in this country.
145
And super cheap.
146
This thing is so good.
147
It's like creamy, cheesy, peppery, and fried, all in one ball.
148
Paratha, man it's good. Since 1875.
149
Melted cottage cheese and it's spicy.
150
India is full of amazing architecture, like the Taj Mahal, I mean look at this.
151
Last time I was here was exactly 10 years ago this month and it's just as magical as I remembered it.
152
All over this country you can find beautiful architecture through Rajasthan, castles and the temples in Hampi.
153
Right now behind me you can see the beautiful pillar.
154
It's basically 2,000 years old and it's super detailed.
155
You have the ghats in Vaeranasi, which are like steps that go down into the holy Ganges river.
156
You have all the different temples.
157
So many religions here, mosques, mausoleums, monuments, pilgrimage sites.
158
You see behind this one?
159
It's like it's a place where culture is the most important thing.
160
It's a temple just in the wall.
161
Yo, what is this building behind us?
162
It's called Nakoda mosque.
163
It's very important.
164
And most people are Muslim here.
165
Yes, in this area actually.
166
There are temples everywhere, like every tree, every little crack, every underground passageway.
167
As I said, India is like a continent.
168
There's so much to see here.
169
But it really comes down to this being the most beautiful, the most pristine, the most epic building in the freaking world.
170
It's almost like an out-of-body experience to be here right now.
171
Honestly, I could spend all day soaking up the beauty of the Taj Mahal, but it's time to hit the road.
172
I'm on my way to the largest gathering of humanity ever recorded.
173
It's called Kumbh Mela, and they're expecting over 400 million people within a 30-day period.
174
That means I might be up against one of the biggest traffic jams in history.
175
So if I don't leave now, I might not make it.
176
All right, the journey to Praegrad starts now.
177
It is 12.40 in the afternoon.
178
I'm currently in Agra, which is, Google Maps says eight hours and 41 minutes to get there.
179
It's probably gonna take 12 to 15 hours considering the traffic I've been told.
180
I've been hanging out here in Agra with my friend Bryson DeChambeau at the Taj Mahal.
181
It's been an incredible time back at the Taj, but now my mind is focused on Kumbh Mela, the world's largest gathering of humanity.
182
Kumbh Mela is held every few years and rotates between multiple sacred sites.
183
But this year's gathering in Prayagraj is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration
184
because it coincides with a rare planetary alignment that happens once every 125 years.
185
Pilgrims will gather at the holy confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and Sarawati rivers to take part in amazing rituals where Hindus immerse themselves in the waters to cleanse their spirits.
186
With an expected crowd of 400 million people, the event requires massive infrastructure, including temporary camps, roads, and medical services,
187
making it both a religious experience and a major logistical operation.
188
Hi, hi.
189
Indian style, namaste.
190
Yeah, namaste.
191
Here we go.
192
Man, this is gonna be a crazy adventure.
193
What's your name?
194
Jeet.
195
Jeet.
196
Nice to meet you.
197
All right, me and Jeet for the next 10 to 15 hours.
198
Okay.
199
Alright, time check.
200
It is 4.45 and we're just cruising.
201
We're somewhere random.
202
I have no idea where we are, but there's people everywhere.
203
Fun fact, Uttar Pradesh, the state that I'm currently in, if it was its own country, it would be the fifth most populous in the world.
204
That's how busy it is out here.
205
But I could just stare out the window all day.
206
Garlic.
207
Garlic.
208
The garlic man.
209
I like garlic and mutton and I like it.
210
Me too.
211
Garlic and mutton.
212
Yes.
213
Alright.
214
Stomping for a cup of chai.
215
Oh man.
216
Beautiful sunset.
217
Love the feeling of being in the middle of absolutely nowhere India.
218
All alone.
219
Got the sun poking out right there.
220
Cheers.
221
Cheers.
222
Very good chai.
223
Delicious.
224
If you've never had Indian tea, it's hot milk tea, sometimes spicy.
225
It always hits a spot every time.
226
Latte tea.
227
Lovely tea.
228
In classic fashion, the car is broken, so we're pulled over.
229
And the hood is up, and the driver is doing something, talking to someone, paying him something.
230
In moments like these, you can't really do anything.
231
You're just kind of stuck.
232
At least he speaks like 20 words of English, so we are able to communicate.
233
All good?
234
Yuri is full.
235
No problem.
236
Yuri is complete.
237
No problem?
238
Yes.
239
Okay.
240
Thank you.
241
Thank you.
242
We got it fixed.
243
Heading to Praia Graja.
244
Alright guys, update.
245
Bit of an unfortunate situation.
246
It's now just during 8 o'clock PM.
247
and all the roads are blocked.
248
I mean, all of the roads are blocked.
249
There's like policemen guarding the roads.
250
My driver just got out and he's talking to the policemen and telling him that I'm staying at a camp, which I am, but I don't know if we're going to be able to get there.
251
I really don't.
252
I'm going to get out and see what the deal is.
253
This is absolutely freaking crazy and this is kind of what I expected.
254
I even tried speaking to some officials, but no luck.
255
We have the camp.
256
I need to get to my camp.
257
No going to camp.
258
Yes, please.
259
My friend is there.
260
My driver suggests another route to reach the festival, but if that doesn't work, I guess I'll be sleeping in the car tonight.
261
Your camp, 24 kilometers straight, then left, you turn.
262
24 kilometers?
263
24 kilometers.
264
No, we need to go here, much faster.
265
No, no, this is not cut out.
266
Not tank.
267
These roads are also closed, full close.
268
Are you sure?
269
Yes, 24 kilometers.
270
Okay, alright.
271
We're gonna go 24 kilometers out of the way.
272
I'm so tired because I'm jet lagged.
273
And we haven't moved in about 45 minutes.
274
I'm very hungry.
275
Yeah, me too.
276
Okay, let's eat now.
277
I think I'm going to have to cancel.
278
I don't think I'm going to make it.
279
We're going to get some dinner now.
280
Yeah, luck, luck.
281
Lots of traffic.
282
Lots of traffic.
283
Also traffic is jammed.
284
Root is divided.
285
Okay, sir.
286
Yeah, this is a big problem.
287
At least my driver is cool.
288
We can hang.
289
We can hang.
290
He speaks enough English.
291
We're going to find some food here.
292
Hello!
293
I'm so exhausted.
294
I'm jet-lagged.
295
I'm in a daze.
296
But now the adventure is...
297
Well, it's like...
298
One, how do we get food?
299
Two, how do we sleep?
300
And three, how do I make it all the way to Varanasi to catch my flight to Syria?
301
Sure as hell gonna document this whole journey to do it.
302
They like to use the horn in India.
303
What is this?
304
Friday Chomin?
305
Yeah, chame is good.
306
Just a couple of homies on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere eating some dinner.
307
This is about an 85% chance of food poisoning, I would say.
308
Very good.
309
Wow, it's actually really tasty.
310
But I'm totally gonna be f*ing everywhere later.
311
We're probably sleeping in the same car tonight Dude no joke this is super spicy It's like full of chilies Are you good?
312
All right, so here's here's a tricky part My friend Jason Wang is there right now.
313
He sent me this insane drone shot He just got I wish I could be there right now No. My friend Gautam, who I'm always in India with, is here.
314
If you want to sleep in the car, it's no problem.
315
Are you still in the car?
316
Yeah, we're still in the car like 12 hours later. From where? From Tashmahal?
317
Yeah, from Tashmahal.
318
Oh my God, why?
319
So I've got to sleep in the car with my driver because there's too much traffic.
320
Wait, how long is it to go before you can go back? heading to your destination?
321
The ride is supposed to be 8 hours but so far it's been 12.
322
And the traffic is not moving.
323
How more to go?
324
We're like, it's still going to take a long time

354
Okay, let's go to Lucknow.
355
Oh, my God.
356
They're saying 14 or more people got injured at the same time, and they've canceled the procession.
357
We can barely get out.
358
Ambulances everywhere.
359
I just jumped over two cars and a fence and three pushing crowds.
360
Finally made it to the main road and heading back to the bridge.
361
Yeah, I'm out.
362
Are you okay?
363
Okay, okay.
364
I'm so very happy.
365
I'm going to back.
366
Lucknow.
367
Okay, sir?
368
Yeah.
369
You sleep three hours?
370
Two hours sleep.
371
It's okay?
372
Okay, no problem, sir.
373
It is my duty.
374
Duty perfect.
375
God is work.
376
Thank you.
377
Welcome, sir.
378
Driver is the best.
379
I'm so sorry.
380
I can't make it, but too many people.
381
We go Lucknow, Lucknow, Lucknow.
382
Yes, Lucknow.
383
Beep beep beep beep Alright time check it is 6.35 a.m.
384
And the sun is coming out.
385
You know this is turning out to be a disaster
386
but At least this is a unique opportunity to share with
387
you guys a little bit behind the scenes of my life as a full time Kata creator, YouTuber, traveler.
388
Not everything goes your way and it sucks when it happens.
389
I've literally been planning this video for over one year.
390
I've been planning to come here and shoot this story
391
And this event only happens once every 144 years
392
so I won't be alive to ever do it again
393
Which is a tough pill to swallow
394
but now you can see some of the hardships
395
that I go through to make these stories and I'm
396
so persistent on getting the video
397
and I have been since day one I just I love
398
to be the person to document to be the messenger to
399
share cool things around the world for you guys to watch Your enjoyment at home for free on YouTube
400
and other social media platforms but it's just not meant to be right now and gotta suck it up.
401
It's good to be vulnerable.
402
Well, as you watch me continue to fail to reach Kumbh Mela, I think now is a great time to continue sharing some personal journeys through India.
403
And the first lesson I learned is patience.
404
India has taught me to be very patient.
405
Not only this experience that I'm onto right now with waiting, I mean, I've literally been in the car for 19 hours to try to reach this gathering, which I failed to reach.
406
You're stuck in a situation where you just can't do anything.
407
You have no power, you have no authority, you are stuck.
408
I think it's a great life lesson for everybody to learn.
409
It's just a lot of personal growth stuff being in India.
410
It's like more than any other place.
411
You just learn how to deal with situations.
412
You learn about who you are as a person, what things you like, what things you don't like, how you react in conversations with people, when things are thrown your way.
413
You just got to learn how to deal with it.
414
There's one pillar There's something missing in this story about India that I would like to share with you right now.
415
And I was hoping to cover it at Kumbh Mela.
416
It is spirituality.
417
Ram Ram.
418
Ram Ram.

It is the home of so many faiths, religion, thoughts, leaders, Gandhi, the great philosophers,
420
yoga, meditation, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, the Baha'i faith, you name it.
421
They're all centered around this country.
422
Is that human ashes you put on my face?
423
Yeah.
424
Oh no!
425
I think it's a really amazing thing.
426
I really do but someone who didn't really connect to religion or spirituality on a deeper level.
427
Being in India has helped me be more spiritual, have more meaning of life, more purpose, being more of a thought leader.
428
And that's been through going to these communities and meeting people, asking them questions.
429
You don't eat the rest.
430
No, no, no, no, because these are my family.
431
Observing, seeing how their lives are, especially Buddhism.
432
Like, of course, a lot of people think Buddhism is only in China or in East Asia.
433
Actually, the Dalai Lama lives in India.
434
Like, India is a huge center of Buddhism.
435
And I've learned a lot from the monks and the Buddhists up in Arnachal Pradesh and the Seven Sisters in northeastern India.
436
It's fantastic.
437
I'm just a little delirious right now.
438
I've only slept like two hours in the backseat of that white van.
439
I'm just all turned upside down, but there's definitely a hot cup of chai brewing.
440
I can smell it.
441
It's also one of the best things about India, tea.
442
I've learned to love tea from traveling this country.
443
Cheers!
444
Cheers!
445
Another thing I forgot to bring up about India is the hospitality.
446
Everyone's just lending a hand, trying to help you out if you're lost, if you need something, or just to...
447
Oh, he kissed me.
448
My driver is a perfect example.
449
Like, he's so determined to get me to the place I gotta go.
450
In other countries in the Western world, like try going on in Western Europe.
451
I guarantee your driver would not be so caring to sleep in his car
452
and literally go through hell to make sure that you're okay.
453
But in India, you just find it to be their duty, their respect to make sure that you're okay and safe and happy.
454
And I really appreciate that.
455
I'm probably going to give India a break for a while.
456
I've been here so many times in the last few years and it's been amazing.
457
As someone who breeds efficiency, it's very hard to be efficient here.
458
And even though I have learned patience, it's just hard for me to travel here.
459
So I'm gonna take a little personal break from India probably for two years
460
Come back whenever I feel ready to shoot the next videos
461
But I feel very happy that I was able to spend six months in India
462

הדובר משתמש ב-138 קיצורים וצורות מקוצרות, כמו I'm, I've, we're. אמרו אותם בצורה הקצרה, כפי שאתם שומעים אותם.

- /r/ — הלשון לא נוגעת בשום מקום, לא ה-“ר” הגרונית: garlic /ˈɡɑɹlɪk/, pilgrim /ˈpɪlɡɹɪm/, spirituality /ˌspɪɹ.ə.t͡ʃuˈæl.ə.tɪ/, horn /hɔɹn/, sacred /ˈseɪkɹɪd/

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
