By far my most INTENSE experience in India 🇮🇳

In this video, I leave Punjab and enter the state of Rajasthan in India. I am entering the desert! But first, I visit an unique temple, dedicated to the goddess Durga - and even though I knew what the temple was all about.. I have to admit, I was still a little shaken!

​@@pocketlint82whoever learns riding in india is pro driver, and there are many unspoken rules about traffic in India like honking as a sign that I'm behind you etc. It's all because indians don't like to follow traffic rules and they're always running late.

[@pgVeritas]

There are rules on the road in India…..first rule: the bigger you are, the more responsible you are for accidents. i.e. a truck is responsible for any accident it causes. If a car collides with a bike, it’s the cars fault. A bicycle hits a pedestrian, it’s the bike’s fault……Second rule, you must sound your horn and indicate when approaching traffic from behind. This encourages the driver in front to check his mirrors. India drives on the left hand side, like the UK, that’s why the driver sits on the right. The issue in India that is problematic for us in the West is that we’re used to personal space, and this extends to our vehicles. In India, space does not be;one to you but to everyone. Once you spend a decent amount if time there, you get to understand the logic. You might understand it, but you’ll never get used to it. I twisted my ankle when the pavement collapsed in Bangalore. Immediately there were 10-15 people genuinely wanting to help me. I was coming out of Wembley stadium near the Designer Outlet. I suffer from intercostal cramps. (The intercostal muscles are between the ribs and with the diaphragm help inflate and deflate your lungs). I had a bad attack on my left side. I release the cramp by punching myself in the ribs. I was doing this at peak time, I’m wearing a suit, carrying a briefcase, and all the others walking about ignored me. A homeless man came over and helped me, asked me if I was alright. This is the society we live in….self-indulgent and self-obsessed. I used to tell the Indians “don’t lose your Indianess. Stop trying to be like Westerners because we are not what you should become.” I was referring to the greed and selfishness that pervades our culture. In Indian and all developing countries, those with the least always are happy to give the most. In our culture, those with the most wouldn’t give you the steam off their p1ss.

Even we Indians get scared of dangerous roads in some parts of India and unruly traffic at times. You are so courageous to ride on Indian roads. We generally say that if you can ride in india you can ride anywhere in the world. Kudos Noraly.

[@vigneshb5347]

Never been there, but have heard of it and seen in news paper long time back, definitely want to go some day. There is always something new wonderful about India. Did you know there is an old ashram in India, in Vrindavan dham, I guess centuries old, it also called city of Widows ! Poor ladies who are widowed and no one to support them, they take refuge here.

Enjoy your ride through India 🇮🇳 beautiful Country. Those horses,Marwari. Wow,too many rats. Thanks for interesting info about the Temple and the occupants.

[@TerrillWelch]

Oh Noraly! I am ever so grateful to be on this side of the screen as you are visiting the temple dedicated to Mother Goddess who it is believed loved rats (see comments clarifying below by Chandra) What an experience you had. The challenge of it is was clearly evident on your face as you shared it with us. Definitely what is called a “stretch” outside your comfort zone experience. I loved how friendly the person at the entrance was and that he shared additional information about how it could have been even worse. 😂

[@ShivMathur]

Noraly drive 500 kms to visit the rat temple not realising that she will get RATtled

[@incubusk8r]

I don't think they are "worshipping" rats, from the story it seems they are worshiping the diety who reincarnated as a rat. If they respect sentient beings in all form (as i have read), i don't see a problem with rats. Unless a plague breaks out.

[@chandra_himanshu]

It is not for worshipping rats. The temple is dedicated to Mother Goddess and Rats are believed to be loved by Mother Goddess and so they respected by locals. Interestingly, this areas have never faced Rat related disease out break.

[@GreenTea3699]

@@chandra_himanshu Thank you for sharing that. That's beautiful ! The fact there have never been any diseases shows they truly are blessed!

[@TerrillWelch]

@@chandra_himanshu thank you for clarifying and setting straight my misunderstanding.

[@nickhayes5471]

As a motorcyclist watching that traffic gave me anxiety lol,hats off to your riding skills and great judgement, looks like a cool journey

[@Bharatiya1907]

If you drive/ride in India you will be super more conscious in life. That's a guarantee😅

[@jasonzerbini2375]

17:26 Attendant to Noraly "Are you scared?" Noraly "Noo" Haha that wasn't too convincing Noraly. Itchy Boots once again succeeds in giving us the total unexpected blow our mind entertainment. I was sitting watching, holding my head in disbelief. I feel weird saying this but thank you so much Noraly for this video. Seeing was believing. Oh and so happy you had A/C and a good lunch! Peace! ❤❤❤

[@WhiteTiger333]

Ahaha - Indian traffic "patterns". I remember the sheer terror of being at the mercy of experienced taxi drivers - the beautifully decorated, overloaded trucks bearing down on you, or flipped over on the side of the highway with the crew squatting patiently on top of the load. The Karni Mata temple. Woah, Nellie! I've heard of it, but it was something to see. At least the rats don't attack if you don't give them food, like some temple monkeys do. Thank you for this episode. It really brought back wonderful memories - even seeing your lunch.

[@RadhaKrishnaVines]

14:28 No, Not all of this desert.... Actually Aravalli Ranges separate West Rajasthan from East & South Rajasthan, & That part are lush green 😮❤

[@libbyvalley]

Noraly dares to go where nobody else will. 🏆👑🌟💚🔥🔥🔥Always stellar. Temple of the Rats.. EPIC!

[@miguelangelansaldi3146]

Hi Noraly, You never cease to amaze me. Now Yes, India is a little more than I imagined... Another culture, other traditions and a very particular way of to live! Drive carefully and take care of yourself!

[@solit4rioTinbiker]

Impresionante el viaje que has realizado en este video Noraly. El tránsito de vehículos un caos. Esos camiones cargados a full y el templo de las ratas oooh , impresionante. Eres muy valiente al estar ahí descalza rodeadas de miles de ellas. Gracias por mostrarnos en tus viajes las diferentes culturas. 👍✌

[@jefersonmelo4411]

Accompanying this journey through India, being incredible and very peculiar, hugs from Brazil.

[@akowboyshippielife7405]

Much love to everyone and their families from Cedar City Utah USA currently!✌️🍄🙈🥀🤠

[@mikerapp8163]

Amid all the chaos and cacophony there are signs of a great industrial renaissance emerging. India will be a humanitarian world power.

[@jonijohnson679]

I’m glad to see you today Noraly. I’m sure this was filmed a while ago, but since we saw you last- there was a terrible earthquake near Nepal. Hope you were nowhere near that area at the time. Rats were a real shock! You are a great adventurer. Safe travels! Really love your channel 👏❤️👏

[@badfinger61]

Very interesting episode, Noraly. Dealing with the traffic is an entire skill set on it's own but the Rat Temple, good Lord, you're a brave woman! I'm not sure that I can "unsee" that. And you were there in person, so bravo to you! Thanks for always interesting and informative videos!

[@tracythorn2918]

This temple is one of your travel locations I am happiest to see via KZbin rather than in person. Wow!

[@dominiquemarchant-k5d]

Thank you No-Rat-Ly , that was a very interesting video . I didn't expect to see this kind of temple . Respect for the culture of this part of India .

[@aei7129]

Noratly, lol

[@bibinkannamplackal9394]

Hey Noraly, its been really awesome to watch the feats that you are achieving as a solo traveler. I started watching and following you from the time you brought "Basanti" and started your ride from Delhi. Its been a spectacle to watch and follow you. You Inspire me to take the leap in many circumstances. I was really surprised that you paused your Africa Journey mid way, but the next thing i see is that you are i Barcelona Spain with an another adventure which was really great 🙂. Just Imagine my surprise when youtube notifies me that "Itchy Boots" is testing the New Himalayan 452 in India. If you ever find the time and opportunity to meet your followers and supporters in Mumbai, I would be thrilled to have the chance to connect with you in person. Until then, please know that your travel stories continue to inspire and bring joy to people like me. Wishing you smooth and exciting travels ahead, and may your adventures be as extraordinary as you are!

[@bravoatila8103]
