Our TOUGHEST Day Of DRIVING So Far! Our RICKSHAW Does NOT Make It Unscathed (FOREIGNERS In INDIA)

In this video, we continue our road trip through South India, from Pondicherry (Puducherry) to Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu. This is the furthest and longest drive we have undertaken in Rusty, our roaming rickshaw (tuk tuk) and the chaotic traffic, damaged roads and harsh conditions make it one of the toughest days of travel so far. We finish our day in Thanjavur, eating delicious Indian food and making necessary repairs to Rusty, and are excited to explore more of Thanjavur in the next video.
This footage was filmed in February 2024.

Would love to see the lady drive the rickshaw

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Yes she had a few little drives but preferred to let Matt drive 😊

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Haha 😂 Rusty the Rickshaw would fly into pieces if we did that!

14:25 - On the road you have to be predictable. Otherwise nobody will understand your next step and you might get into an unwanted collision.

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Thankyou, great advise! 😊

[@CometFire2010]

I can't imagine driving around without aircon in indian weather. 😞

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Haha yes some days were very hot although this footage was filmed in Feb 2024 so it was a little cooler back then 😊

[@lal4500]

You could've got a car.. Even the smaller ones are more comfortable faster and easier to drive....

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Yes for sure and couldn't agree more however, we do not have Rickshaws in Australia so it was the experience that we were chasing 😊

[@mannysubramanian8393]

The fields in the rural areas, people cant throw garbage there. Urban India is the dirtiest.

[@Ananymous-hy7my]

Auto rickshaws are helpful only for short distances, it is not useful for long drive travel otherwise you should be adventurous to use it.

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Yes we were wanted to have an adventure of a lifetime which is why we chose the Auto Rickshaw as our mode of transport. We don’t have them in Australia so it was very exciting for us 😊

[@vineegaming]

Holy fck 700 as tip or 700 in total including the tip at the hotel ?

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Haha no 700 in total 😂
