[@alimorewilliams5358]

Like the sleeper buses looking nice . Happy new yr to you and Maria may God continue to guide and protect you all through your journey

[@DougPVlogs]

Happy New Year to you and your family too. The sleeper busses are such a great idea for long distance travel.

[@RisenApe]

You can’t visit India and not have some misadventures. 😂 Happy New Year!! Enjoying the vids from Chicago.

[@DougPVlogs]

We have been lucky so far but I am sure there will be many more incidents. Happy New Year and thank you for always watching and commenting.

Stay safe....I am talking about the food. Not a place to be adventurous with street food. Cuidense mucho Uds.

[@DougPVlogs]

Thank you. I did get sick once but from a restaurant. A few days before I ate all kinds of street food and a drink with ice and nothing happened. Been doing good since that one incident.

[@SiddhantVaibhav-m7g]

Indian street food is not the same , many of the visuals u see in internet are frm Bangladesh

[@DougPVlogs]

@@SiddhantVaibhav-m7g It is good to know thre truth. People doing that are trying to make India look bad, not a nice thing to do.

[@SugarFreeTraveler]

That's the only bad part of everyone using Booking and Expedia, they charge 50% more per stay because they have to pay the site so much commission.

[@DougPVlogs]

I remember the same thing happening during our Mexico vlogging trip

[@mikerhaburn9141]

Happy New Year guys glad you are taking us on your adventure 🎉🎉

[@DougPVlogs]

I am so happy you are along with us on this exciting trip. Happy New Year from Hampi, India.

[@arvindgoudar1586]

You are learning fast. Unfortunately, as a foreigner they will try to scam you most of the time The quoted prices on everything is marked up double. Start your bargaining with 60 percent off. Next time record the auto guy's agreed price before you board, on your cell, and then play back to him. Unfortunately the experience leaves a real bad taste for tourists.

[@DougPVlogs]

I know I am sorry I did not record it but next time I will be ready. Sadly the scamming of tourists happens in every country.

[@PinkyPatel-m3e]

Happy new year 🎉.2025 I wish you a best year.I surprised to see you as a good KZbinr. I think right now you’re going to Ahmedabad 😊. And you can go to my home town.

[@DougPVlogs]

Pinky, I remember you from CTDI in Richmond BC. I am actually heading south right now and am in Hampi for a few days visiting the temples. When I start going north I will stop in Ahmedabad. What is the name of your hometown? I will visit it.

[@rajeshmohnani8278]

[@DougPVlogs]

[@Prakash22-q3b]

Lotta thieves and scammers.. be safe..

[@DougPVlogs]

They are out there but it is not too bad . . . yet.

[@rajeshmohnani8278]

India never sleeps….specially those metropolitan cities and highways ….india most English speaking country ….those the Labour you deal with it …..try to travel in train like you have Indian SIM card much comfortable specially Vandhe Bharat train but you have too pre book which you can do online

[@DougPVlogs]

I really love the big cities like Mumbai. I will try the trains but it is so complicated and hard to get tickets. But I will figure it out as I did with the sleeper bus. I still have a lot to learn here in India. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@kira991]

Trains get booked real fast. you need to book in advance to get in the class you want

[@DougPVlogs]

I have found that out that those trains fill up. I still need to figure out the train booking and travel. I think I have the sleeper busses figured out now.

[@kira991]

@@DougPVlogs Train booking is a bit complicated. You need to make irctc id to book train yourself from any websites or you can get it booked from a travel agent. also you have to be sure you book confirmed ticket. waiting list ticket doesn't mean you will get a seat. its called WL or RAC in app. avoid those and book only available/AVL seats

[@DougPVlogs]

@@kira991 Thank you this valuable information you gave me.

[@naninani1549]

​@@DougPVlogsI think some seats reserved for Foreign travelers for some trains, and also if you go and book the tickets at train station using a system called "Tatkaal" they just charge some extra but if any seats are available they will alloted to you immediately,

[@DougPVlogs]

OK great to know that. I do want to try out the trains while in India.

[@juanajimenez1976]

Asi es bonito viájar❤Dios los acompañe cuidense mucho love you

[@DougPVlogs]

Son bastante cómodos. El segundo autobús como ese estaba bien, pero no tan bien.
