Escaping The Chaos Of Delhi, India
I am in Delhi India and in this video we will visit three must-see places the India Gate the Red Fort and old Delhi one of these places though is going to be pretty intense oh check it out this is a disaster here I'm not sure if I have ever been in a more chaotic area than this is it still worth it to visit these musty places in Delhi I also want to see what it's like to spend a typical day as a tourist in this town let's find out feel free to join and here we are the India Gate wow ah I always really enjoy it when I am standing in front of very famous places for the first time seeing these places with my own eyes so this is a cool moment for me actually and yeah as you can see it's very popular to visit this place not only by Foreign tourists to be honest I don't see any other foreign tourists here uh except myself very very busy here with local tourists I would assume that most of the people here are Indian tourists maybe from other states from other cities and yeah this gate right here resembles the arc the Triumph in France and Paris actually and it was built in 1921 and it is actually a war memorial in honors of the soldiers who have fallen in the first world war and actually the names of 90,000 of these soldiers hello Namaste the names of 90,000 of these soldiers are actually engraved into the walls which I can see from here it's maybe to see it on the camera I unfortunately I'm not allowed to go any closer but yeah I can see all the the names and Gra on the walls here and here and in the middle as well might be my favorite place that I have seen so far in Delhi again magnet looking India Gate K Lotus you have from the gate here yeah this one 5 for 150 5 for 150 yeah IND gate I just need one to be honest one is 40 rupe one is 40 rupees yeah and this one actually this looks not bad and this one big one you buy big one this is all different big one let me see it looks actually here looks quite the same and then the other one here oh also same same it's a good picture yeah this one Cham yeah red foot Taj Mahal tukk tukk oh a yeah Lotus okay how much for two two for 70 and 40 70 and 40 you not Tuk Tuk no not Tuk Tok you buy I prefer the the gate actually to be honest no elephant you buy Indian flag how much for this too give me 100 R 100 okay all right let's buy a little souven here right away why not you take more just two two is okay give me two more you have S here I'm happy with two okay 100 thank you Dan thank you all right let's support uh some of the vendors here why not and actually quite a nice svenia here with the India Gate I don't have a fridge I'm not going home any time soon but still this is a great memory I'm actually surprised to be honest that there are not more people here trying to sell some things he's literally the only guy that approached me since I am here I'm here for I don't know 10 15 minutes now in total and he was the only guy who approached me so far so that is actually a good good impression here you can visit a tourist place in India in the center of Delhi also without being uh attacked by Street vendors or people trying to sell you something that is a good impression here but yeah let's continue to the next spot we have a few places to visit today here in Delhi excuse me how can I exit underground underground under under pass okay ah so yeah there's an under pass here and I arrived on the other side and then I used this pass already and seems like you also have to exit using the underground so you can't even exit on this side of the road here okay Danel thank you thank you very much byebye bye byebye yes all right no thank you thank all right and I am now at the red for which is one of the mustsee places here in Delhi actually I think I am not at the entrance but the taxi drive driver told me that he's not allowed to drive any further than this point so I think I have to walk the rest no thank you no thank you minute no no no one no I would like to walk looking you other one that's okay you don't need to waste your time with me I want to walk walking too much that's okay thank you no no no thank you all right so I think actually this is the red four already and the the Tuk Tok drivers they want to offer me a tour yeah you have to get used to that when you're in Delhi as soon as you leave the taxis or as soon as you arrive at these touristy areas there will be plenty of people uh trying to sell you something or offering you a right okay we have Indian ladies Indian gens and foreign tourists okay let me actually try to figure out if this is the right place here so ticket counter normal value ticket oh check it out this is the the price for for the locals it's 50 rupe and if you pay cash less it's 35 that's also interesting you get a discount if you pay without cash and then the price for foreigners is 600 that is more than 10 times the price for the locals that is interesting and also you get a discount of 50 rupe if you pay by card double pricing here in India as well which actually happens in uh many Asian countries I know that Thailand for example is also having double pricing systems but this is crazy like more than 10 times the the local price but anyway I'm happy to visit this place hello Namaste one ticket please so I paid 600 oh no thank you 100 no thank you just a little piece of paper here so you need to be careful to lose it or destroy it uh you maybe saw me almost losing this little piece of paper in the Delhi Metro before you also only get a small piece there oh actually I should have asked where's the main entrance is this the entrance here ah there's a sign visitor entrance gate all right so I guess I have to walk around a bit so we can see the quite impressive walls here already wow this actually looks really amazing already just from the outside and yeah the Red Fort is yeah one of the mustsee places here in Delhi one of the most famous places also many local tourists come to visit this place wow check it out how lifely is here to be honest I have the feeling that this is the main entrance area so I'm wondering why my taxi driver dropped me over there because this one actually looks way more like the actual entrance so I walked for I don't know 3 four five minutes now so it wasn't actually that far yeah so there's also a ticket counter here so you can also buy the ticket here although this ticket counter looks way busier so maybe it was good that I was able to buy it over there and then I think I have to go around here and tough security here even uh military with heavy machine guns here but I have the feeling that this is kind of normal here in India based on my Impressions on my first days here and here we are the main entrance to the Red Fort in Delhi actually I really like to visit historical places whenever I'm at these places I always try to imagine it used to be back in the days walking through this gate people walked through here hundreds of years ago already and it must have been even more impressive a few hundred years ago you know probably like I don't know about 100 m High I guess and then up there we have a big Indian flag super impressive so far and also it looks very uh solid like proper walks here oh and many many people inside here check it out who yeah this is a weekend here this is Saturday afternoon at the moment and you have a vendor selling some souvenir here yeah typical tourist souvenir I think I'm actually surprised you enter this place and the first thing that you come across or the first things you come across are are just a shops after shops wow this is not what I would have expected to be honest yeah looks like a Market Hall here now what is [Music] this you want to visit a historical Fort and another a market when you come here right interesting okay that's unexpected and yeah they're literally all selling the same items basically typical tourist stuff yeah that's interesting check it out there's even an Eiffel Tower here and the Big Ben the the Liberty sto from New York what are these things have to do with the red for TI I mean if I would buy something here then I would buy like maybe a little replica of the red four but who buys an Eiffel Tower here the Red Fort was built about 400 years ago in the 17th century by a king called Shah Jahan it served as the main residence of the Emperors of the mukal dynasty for nearly 200 years and the inside there are several small buildings garden areas and Halls yeah the name Red Fort comes from the red Sandstone walls which surround the whole area we are this is an interesting fact here so this was the emperor's private Palace and they had animal fights here for example between lions and elephants yeah animal fights such as between lions and elephants were organized below this Palace for the entertainment of Royals that is interesting can you imagine a lion fighting with an elephant so that was probably happening somewhere down here maybe or maybe there's like a bigger area underneath here that we can't see now and can't enter I think all right and I am back at the beginning I took around half an hour to explore the whole area and to be completely honest I was expecting something a little bit different it was mainly like visiting a park the whole area inside is super beautiful it feels like walking around the park with some very historical cool looking buildings here and there but overall it didn't really feel like visiting a Ford you know and the most impressive part is the entrance area here which is really really impressive but I was expecting that there will be more places similar like the entrance area all around basically not saying that the experience was bad just saying that I was expecting something a little bit different so when you happen to visit this area don't expect like a fort with walls like this all around better expect a nice park to visit oh it's okay dri no no no thank you Spice Market weding Market silver market J the the big J no thank you some place sir excuse me some place talk some place walking some I can guide and driveing that's okay but I don't need a driver now little charge 200 more no Dan no are you from UK are you from no I'm not from the UK UK byebye yeah you have to uh learn to say no in India so this is another shot from the the Beautiful the as stoning part of the Ford yeah from here it really looks amazing like the outside areas and the main gate that looks really impressive all right and basically right next to the Red Fort over there is an area that has been recommended to me a lot called chandi chock even the staff on the airplane when I was flying to Delhi we commended this place to visit oh no thank you so let's head over there should be basically the whole area around there so we just need to find a way to cross the road here uh which could be difficult maybe uh if we go over there here maybe I'm just going to follow the locals here it seems to be okay okay okay oh oh oh oh oh yeah when in doubt just follow the locals usually that's a very good technique oh and what's up with the hon King here oh my Lord welcome to India I guess okay so this seems to be the unofficial crossing of the road here used by many people I'm wondering why is there not an official uh crossing over there oh and I lost the locals that I followed now I'm on my own oh and I missed the opportunity to cross hello Namaste oh how do I cross here now I think this is a policeman I'm just going to follow him all right that was easy actually okay let me navigate through all the Tuk TOS here check out how many of these tkts are here must be like hundreds of them just standing on the corner here yeah I can already feel this is going to be an interesting area to visit so I'm very curious actually so can I walk through here looks like a gate to me but everyone work through okay guess I can all right here we are chandi chuk also known as old Deli as far as I'm aware so very historical part of the city here this is basically the area where Deli started hundreds of years ago okay so we also have a I'm not sure how you call that like Tok TRS that are like a bicycle so you call that Wick Shaw I would call it a wicka but I'm not sure what's the official word here so you see them all around here so I would guess that they can only like cycle around the area here which seems to be closed for any cars or the regular Tuk TS yeah but to be honest I would feel bad if I would let an old man most of the the guys here seem to be pretty old if I would let an old man cycle me around town oh wow this area is intense if you don't like to be around people then this is definitely the wrong place for you Namaste and yeah I can't walk 100 met here without being asked if I want to buy something if I want to ride so you really have to learn how to say no here but just keep walking it is a sensory overload area in an interesting way I really enjoy walking down the road here probably I wouldn't uh walk down this road every day but for the first time here it's actually interesting and what I find interesting to see here is it seems to be a cultural Melting Pot you see many Muslims here you see Hindus also we have the biggest mosque in India around the corner here the JAMA Masid so that probably explains why you can see so many Muslims here but I really find that interesting like a cultural Melting Pot everyone seems to like melt together here that's actually really interesting and yeah like everywhere we have these little side alleys here which seem to be even busier more crowded oh yeah here we have a proof of what I thought so cars and motorcycles are not allowed here between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. that's why you only see these uh bicycle RI shs here I'm wondering what's the Spice Market because every single driver who approaches me uh says something about a Spice Market Spice Market to be honest doesn't sound interesting to me probably that's would be my guess they get commissions there when they drop me off there and if I end up buying something oh I feel like this area doesn't end I'm walking for well over half an hour already the whole time basically through areas looking like this and I can't seem to find an end I feel like there must be an end to this area somehow like oh like like an open space normal roads again you know this is intense here sensory overload everywhere oh must oh people driving everywhere on the sidewalk on the road and I'm thirsty I'm looking for something like uh like a convenience store like a 7-Eleven type of shop where I can buy something cool to drink and as you can imagine the air here is not the best I I I feel it already in my throat but that was to be expected not saying that I expected something else oh wow this is I think this is a very stereotype India that you imagine when you come to a city like Delhi oh my god oh check it out this is a disaster here how do people get through this hello this is like a dead engine now where do I go let's see if I can pass somewhere here here oh wow okay maybe I can uh walk around here maybe not okay the traffic continues to move no no no there was a a Gap open for like a few seconds but now maybe there's a gap here okay okay all right than you much thank you okay and I'm stuck again okay and here we go I'm through oh wow that's how intense it can be just to to cross the road that is insane and look at the traffic here it's it's literally not moving wow I'm very happy that I'm not in a vehicle stuck in this traffic here to be honest today is a weekend I would imagine that the traffic is even worse here on the week day another driver on the on the side road okay wow this is the India you imagine right The Stereotype chaotic India but as we have seen already in my previous video not every corner of the city looks like this I on a Metro station so this would be an easy exit now I just take the metro to another part of the town but I think I don't want this easy exit now by the way it's an hour now in this area probably just a few minutes for you in the video but I'm already in this area for an hour now and I just checked Google Maps where I'm actually heading to and I think if I keep walking for another few hundred M then there should be a bit of an open space area I want to get out of this area you know like somewhere a bit more quiet and less busy because it gets a bit stressful but I'm not complaining I was expecting exactly this here in Old Deli and I'm still looking for something to drink I'm wondering I can't seem to find any convenience stores here or shops where I can buy bottled water I'm just thinking imagine an accident happens here how long it would take for an ambulance to actually reach this point yeah I definitely don't want to be involved in an accident in this area cuz I think chances are high that you're waiting for a long time until help arrives okay I'm giving up after over an hour in here and I can't seem to find a r out and I do have a goal now where I want to go I want to go to conod place which is a place I have been to before on the holy day and I think it's way quieter and a bit more relaxed there but I think it would be quite far to walk and I am here already for over an hour now so I think I'm actually going to take one of the guys that can give me a lift so one of the the rure of tricycle drivers here I think these are electric by the way so we have the ones on the bicycle and we have the electric ones so I think I'm still in an area where cars are not allowed yeah this one for example hello I want to go to k place place you can get me there no I cannot you're not allowed you're not allowed there right but you can get me somewhere close what he trying to help me are you trying to help me you cannot go to cor place right you are right he's not allowed there right okay but can he uh drop me off somewhere close you drop yeah okay how much K 150 150 okay all right Let's Escape this area yeah the local guy said 150 is okay I don't really know where I am and I don't really know how long we need but to be honest I think we will take a lot of time because the traffic here is intense as you have seen already okay that was sensory overload Deluxe I'm not sure if I have ever been in a more chaotic area than this I have seen many chaotic cities around the world I'm thinking about Manila in the Philippines which is also very chaotic in the center kandu Nepal maybe Columbus Sri Lanka Jakarta Indonesia although Jakarta southeast Asia in general uh unless Manila feels way more relaxed than South Asia to be honest so this is probably one of the most busiest areas I have ever visited but it is definitely an experience so I don't regret coming here at all but will I come here again probably not to be honest okay let's see how long we actually need let me check the time it is now 4:40 and yeah I do think that this vehicle here is electric it doesn't make a lot of noise it uh sounds very quiet and I think you can in theory even fit four people here so one here one here one here and then one here and it seems to be quite popular here usually you see all these yellow Tuk TS all around Delhi but yeah because they are not allowed in this area you see all these Tok TOS here and some are like bicycles so powered by the strong legs of the people here hello Namaste what I have to say to people here are very friendly like many people smile or wave at me saying hello but yeah what is up with the honking in India I don't understand why they like to honk here so much if you're from India please let me know what's up with all the honings oh this is also interesting way of transportation here probably this is not an official taxi or something just his friend giving him a lift and I think we I see like there's something like a gate or something so maybe this is the end of the airway are okay so this is the gate I was talking about let's see if uh he's going to drop me off here or we continue but here I think this is the normal area again so we have all these regular Tuk TOS here some these drivers already offering me a ride so maybe they expect me uh to be dropped off here I think we're entering a proper road now so I am a bit surprised I know we have sugar cane by the side of the road we have some vendors selling some juices I think and there's wind blowing into my face now which feels nice after this area over there so for the first time in an I feel like normal air again this is nice oh and I think this is the back side of the Delhi railway station actually so I think I know actually where I am now what's going on we making U-turn over there yeah okay for some reason uh we just making a U-turn in front of the New Delhi railway station so we're driving back now where we're coming from so I'm not sure why to some U-turn yeah so we are here now and where I want to go cor place is this area so it's actually not far so we just made a U-turn right here so we could have just drove down this the road here and then we would have reached the the place already so I'm wondering why the sudden U-turn and it seems like we are driving away from the destination now rather than approaching it and check it out the trucks here have even written on it Blow horn and I saw many trucks that have this writing on it blow the horn so the trucks encouraging the people behind them to actually blow the horn okay and we have left the main road we took a left turn and now we're in this road right here so I think K of place should be like basically at the end of this road here now I don't think it's far anymore hello Namaste oh I almost can't believe it it just quiet here for a moment oh and there's a honking again but for like a few second it was actually quiet here you hear oh you don't hear anything right that's the point oh wow what's going on this seems to be unusual all of a sudden all the noises are gone oh and the honking continues why I don't understand [Music] this oh wow oh yeah okay okay D thank you okay thank you very much byebye all right total length of the journey was now about half an hour but yeah I also think that he made the journey way longer by taking this U-turn I still don't really understand why he did the U-turn but anyway I have arrived that is the most important thing okay I now try to find a restaurant there's a restaurant in this area that has been recommended to me this is the restaurant I'm looking for 0° hello Namaste do we have this one here yes yeah okay table for one table for one please yeah all right and the chair is very comfortable after the few hours now out there in the city this feels very refreshing and have a look at this pizza in it jaar that is what I am interested about that sounds very special I've never seen something like this before I would like to get the pizza in a jaar non uh nonv okay first of all a cold water the first water for a few hours much [Music] needed first of all the ambience here is really nice I really like the design here the air condition has perfect temperature here so this is already a first good impression here and now the pizza in a jaw hat has arrived and it looks very interesting I've never seen anything like this before to be honest it is a bit smaller than I would have expected so I'm not sure if this is going to be enough to fill my stomach and also the the whole staff is looking at me now that's a bit funny so they probably saw the camera and wondering like what is this guy doing here now but yeah I think I'm actually going to use my Fork so of course you can't eat it like a regular pizza to be honest I don't really know why they call this pizza it has nothing to do with the traditional pizza right but of course that doesn't mean it can't taste good so this is a chicken on top of here let me try that first the chicken is a bit dry to be honest and then we do have a lot of cheese here so I see some vegetables here some chicken the cheese oh and there's a very strong tomato sauce flavor to it together with the cheese that's actually very nice I also think that this is good quality cheese the cheese tastes really good actually so oh it seems like there's actually some pizza dough in here you see these parts here that is actually pizza dough it is a bit spicy the data called it mild spicy but you know sometimes when the locals call it mildly spicy then for me as a frer it's still very spicy but this is actually right like this is a spiciness level that I can handle to be honest the flavors are yeah like a regular pizza I mean all the ingredients from the regular pizza are in here just that the presentation is very unusual so the taste is actually totally all right cu the the chicken is a bit dry but the rest of the pizza I especially like the tomato sauce in here but yeah definitely a very unique way to eat a pizza all right let's see what's the outcome with a total bill including two small four bottles of water is at 230 rup all right that was a very interesting food experience let me know in the comments if you will be curious to try this to be honest I think this was interesting but I think the next time I would prefer regular pizza again so yeah overall this was once again another very interesting day here in Delhi India and if you're curious to see my previous video where I've been to paja Gan also very interesting area here in Delhi then feel free to check out the video right here stay healthy stay positive and then see you on the next episode ciao guys
