Guide to the Most Uncomfortable Way to Travel in India

If you're travelling to India on a budget, this is the cheapest way to get around! You'll find shared rickshaws all over the country at extremely cheap prices. But remember, the less you pay, the less comfortable your ride! In this video, I'll show you exactly how to catch a shared rickshaw in a remote part of India.
In India, a shared rickshaw typically refers to a cycle rickshaw or motorized rickshaw (tuk-tuk) that is used for public transportation in urban and semi-urban areas They are a common mode of transport for short distances.
The term "shared" indicates that multiple passengers can use the same rickshaw for their commute. This is a cost-effective way of transportation for short distances, as passengers share the fare, making it more affordable for each individual. Shared rickshaws are commonly found in crowded marketplaces, busy city streets, and areas where narrow roads make it difficult for larger vehicles to operate efficiently.
It's worth noting that their use and popularity can vary from one region to another, and some cities may have regulations or restrictions on their operation.
Additionally, in recent years, there has been increased interest in promoting sustainable and eco-friendly transportation options: electronic and cycle rickshaws align with these goals.

Surely you have to make at least one video on the cricket world cup Karl, especially its india vs pakistan tomorrow?

[@KarlRock]

@@petrumaika8958 I wish! It’ll have to wait again unfortunately. I already planned my October without realising the World Cup is on ☹️

[@petrumaika8958]

@@KarlRock ahh fair enough! Thank you so much for replying big fan as UK-based Indian. Looking forward to a possible cricket world cup video in November then 😀

[@MadDogAdventures]

I travelled with Karl for a few days and he is just as friendly as you see in these videos. People were always coming up to him for selfies etc and he was friendly and welcoming to them all. Very nice man and, I hope, my friend

[@KarlRock]

Thanks Brother! Anyone reading this, go check out Mad Dog’s channel and you’ll find us travelling up to Khunjerab Pass on bikes.

[@TravelingEddie]

Awesome to know taht from someone that isn't part of Karl's family. You can tell by his face and shakti and how people connect with him here in Incredible India.

[@Mickologist]

My wife is also Indian (from AP). Even though she's lived in the UK for 10 years, when we went there earlier this year, she went back into some haggling mode I'd never seen her in before, refusing auto drivers over paying an extra 10₹

[@user-qf5nc7pw7r]

Indian desi mode activated.. 😛🤣

[@KarlRock]

Hehe! It’s extremely annoying for my Indian friends when I travel with them, because everything increases in price when I’m around!

Hi Carl, we live and travel in so comfortable zone But no one can't imagine the countryside life of True Indian people.... They live simple and hard way of life... Thanks for making such video which portrate the our true life.

[@tiarianamanna973]

The most uncomfortable way? Hmm, sounds like something i ve probably tried in my younger years while in india 😂 looking forward to see what is it about 😁

[@Caution40404]

Man, your content is super enjoyable and helpful. Thank you so much for every effort you’ve made!

[@manuelstudiger2325]

Your videos bring back so many memories! Close friends of mine live in Pune and I've been to India several times. During my first trip I stayed at a hotel near Goregaon Station in Mumbai. I took the public train from the city centre after a great day exploring and arrived at the station during rush hour in the evening. There were so many people waiting to get a rickshaw and I guess I looked a bit lost. Suddenly a rickshaw just stopped in front of me and the guys (passengers) just told me to get on. They dropped me right in front of my hotel and refused to take my share of the fare. Since then I travelled around India for several times, South to North and although I experienced a few dodgy situations, I really look forward to my next India trip. Such a lovely country and people.

[@HONEYsharma977........]

My eyes are wet that u enjoyed being in INDIA !!❤

[@ontheroadwithtenzin]

Thank you for these instructions. I am a Buddhist nun coming to Delhi for a pilgrimage Nov>March. Learning so much from you.

[@user-qf5nc7pw7r]

Avoid delhi completely if possible.. delhi is melting pot of struggling and desparate people from the entire nation.. so people are always on the rude side and scams happen a lot.. Dont eat roadside food Always drink mineral water.. There is app like ola uber use those for transport.. Hope you have a pleasant journey mam..

[@LocalhostTutorials]

Very interesting to see different sides of life in India, thank you for all these videos❤

[@DexterMag-aso]

Karl, you are absolutely amazing! This was captivated throughout. Your insights into the less glamorous side of travel are both eye-opening and informative. Interestingly, I recently attended a retreat hosted by Lisa Haisha, a renowned life coach, and she couldn't stop raving about your work. She specifically mentioned your video, highlighting how exceptional you are at what you do. Keep up the fantastic work, Karl! Your content is a breath of fresh air and a valuable resource for travelers.

Would love to visit India but my social anxiety goes through the roof when thinking about it. Even if I don't visit, I still get to experience an interesting side of India in your videos that you don't normally see in other travel vlog videos

[@KarlRock]

Yeah, I've definitely become more social living here. People here just chat with absolutely anyone hehe! It's nice though.

[@DaschonelleMusic]

Hi Duckyz, perhaps just try Goa as a starting point. It's pretty relaxed there and locals are more accustomed to Western tourists (I'm assuming a bit here about where you're from).

Karl is a great Jowai sahab to all us Indians. Rock on Karl.

[@ColinWatters]

We rode many small non-shared Tuk Tuks around Bengaluru, Kolkata and Delhi. In general they are a lot cheaper than taxi in western cities. Ask in your hotel what the normal rate is for where you are going. If its an uncommon destination get the hotel to write it down. Haggle hard before you get in and make sure its the total not for each person. On one occassion our group needed 2 Tuk Tuks and were quoted a very good price. On arrival we were surprised to find one driver declined payment saying that the quote was for both vehicles! There are some honest drivers so tip well if you get a good rate. Keep your hands and elbows inside at all times as cars do get close. You cant go to India without riding in a Tuk Tuk for the experience.

[@MrDonkeyKIng77]

my father in law took me on a shared one for the experience, but that was in Bangalore, but being a bigger city, most spoke some english, great way to me the locals lol

once i got scabies infection after i did not get AC 3rd class ticket and have to do a journey in Sleeper class on a train where I slept and I did not have a bedsheet. There were possibly mites and parasites from someone's body on seat. Since then i always choose comfortable way to travel in India or anywhere else. I thought i will save some INR after travelling to sleeper coach but that costed me 5000 INR for treatment. 😂 so always choose comfort and be careful about hygiene even if its little costly
