It's awesome to see people like that older gentleman exited to see Karl and be happy to share his culture.

[@MisterTMH]

The number of muslims who speak Deccani Urdu is suprising when you travel across the North of Karnataka and into Hyderabad.

[@Bolognabeef]

Indians have a colorism complex. They automatically respect people fairer than them

[@ColinWatters]

We found the same in Kolkata. If out exploring you will get approached by people either wanting to sell you something, take you to a friends business or just wishing to say hello and find out where you are from. The tricky bit is working out which they are quickly :-)

Hey Karl, RPF actually stands for Railways Protection Force, they are an arm of the police specially designated to railway stns.

[@KarlRock]

Thank you 🙏

[@hindimovieadmirer6025]

@@KarlRock RPF = Railways police Force. You can always get in touch with them in any need or problem while travelling in trains. In some areas, they're on rounds in trains and if women are travelling alone, they ask them about being alright and feel safe. I'd advise all foreigners who plan to travel in trains in India, to be in touch with RPF. They really help.

[@fab_hun_sch]

Hey Karl. I am currently traveling the north of India for a couple of months and man your videos were sooooo helpful to me. I watched a lot of them. Thank you so much for your work ❤

I’m still not sure what his deal was exactly. He never asked us for anything.

[@pritamsamanta3391]

I think he is just curious to know why he is talking to himself but too shy to ask.

[@KarlRock]

@@pritamsamanta3391 Yeah, I think he was just interested in a foreigner vlogging. I should’ve chatted with him, but I was too busy trying to capture everything before the train journey.

Karl you missed the most important app for train travel, that is Rail Yatri, you can track live location of the train, as well as all the details regarding halt time at each stations as well, also you can order food from the app as well

[@VishalExpress]

Hosapete is a city known for industries, in Karnataka Karl bhai, not a rural area. Also, fun fact: I don't know about foreigners, but Railways prohibits Indian rail enthusiasts to shoot photos/videos of locomotives in the station premises, sighting security issues.

[@Housecathst]

I had everything stolen on first Indian train trip. An Indian guy came and sat in the seat next to me and was wanting to give advice about where I should put my bags and said I had to put them above my head on the shelf. I started reading a book and looked round and my bag was gone along with the guy. It was my first experience traveling so was very naive, you live and learn etc being down and out with no money or passport in Mumbai for 3 days was interesting got 2 Bollywood acting jobs because I needed the money., had to sleep ruff on the sea front, Fun times looking back on it.😂

[@ps-gh3hu]

And Karl when your in platform you can always ask RPF cops where your coach will halt. Just tell them your train & coach number. They have the list of all trains updated on daily basis. Tough is for their other official purpose, but they don't mind helping.

[@janicearluck6637]

Same rules apply here in South Africa. When on trains especially, dont put anything in your back pocket. Alot of the regular train riders here, put their backpacks on the front of them. As pick-pockets will open ur bags zip especially when all crampet together at peak times

[@zengrath]

It is wild to me how the train doors are opened and you can just stand there and look out-side. that would never be allowed in America and many other countries for safety reasons.

[@enky.y]

These are the older models of the train which doesn't have automatic open and close mechanism but in the new versions which are being produced, they have doors that open and close automatically. There are only a few new models that are running currently.

[@ujwalmokashi6702]

Newer trains have automatic doors. U cant do in that. But these are so fun to stand there and feel wind. It's amazing experience.

[@shaungillingham4689]

Very good practical advice ,I travelled most of India by train in the late 70s & 80s, South India being far more benign than the North. My only criticism is that you wisely avoided drinking the water, but seemed okay about train meals & food vendors on trains. I never touched a bite of this food as the handling & preparation could be very uncertain & vary largely hygine Wise I carried a bag with bread & canned cheese,I could ger freshly cooked omelette from certain stations.i used to carry powderd milk & make my own tea,

It’s changed a lot since then. Railway food is pretty good these days taste and hygiene wise

[@shaungillingham4689]

@@ChakraVart1 I'm a big fan of Indian food to this day, north Indian as well as south Indian. I loved the plate meals, dosa, vada, & the north Indian chicken, goat, I also loved the butter dhal fry with roti & curd. Yes I dare say India has changed massively in 30 + years!

India is interesting but with wages so cheap, why dont they have a toilet cleaner?? They could hire a fulltime cleaner for a few rupees.

[@notauser383]

@@tubester4567 Yes that is indeed true lol, but the money is mostly spent here on infrastructure and improving it, as it is a rural station, they cannot have a toilet cleaner in the station as it it small...however there are staff to clean the toilets at major station and airports...sometimes even rural stations...plus India is big, according to the latest data, it has the largest population in the world and with more 50 million people travelling by rail, it is clearly uneasy to maintain the toilets. That is the reality.

Hi Karl, RPF full form is Railway Police Force at the HOSPET RAILWAY STATION

[@ColinWatters]

We recently travelled 9 hours on the train from Kolkata north to Jamalpur. Seats one way and sleeper on the way back. 9 hours was as long as I would do in seats. The overnight sleeper was very good. You sleep in your clothes but you get blankets and pillows. Quite comfortable actually. We all locked our bags and padlocked them the to the bunk under blankets. If you are starting from a decent hotel I recommend asking your hotel if they can make up a food parcel for the trip. Some trains have an Indian style WC at one end and Western style WC at the other. You often get approached by people when out and about in India. Frequently they want to sell you something but you do also get people who are just curious to know where you are from. The trick is working out which they are. Personally I'd steer clear of the dogs (fleas). For some trips a taxi is a good idea. We took one from Delhi Airport to Agra, a trip of about 3 hours. If you are in a small group to share the cost its a lot more convenient than going into Delhi to get the train.
