Elena, thank you, thank you and thank you. I was literally crying, big fat tears rolled down my eyes. I am an international student in Australia. Haven’t been to India for more than two years now and seeing the visuals of Delhi made me cry tears of joy. You made Old Delhi look so beautiful. 🌻♥️

[@susi_99]

you both have the most beautiful eyes 💙💙

[@Paradisienne]

you're right they do ! :)

[@YogeshKumar-zl4vm]

What ur name represent I am thinking it is type of dish...

[@adi-qf2wb]

i love that literally every video of hers is sponsored. I enjoy being able to see that she makes money from youtube and that it has bolstered her career rather than hindered it like some may have you believe.

[@thetorturedreader]

And it's so casual, not in your face, like "GO CLICK THAT LINK RN!" "GO BUY THIS NOW!" like most youtubers.

[@theseeker584]

don't be jealous of her.. you can also be a successful vlogger by just visiting different countries and experiencing their culture.. but sadly materialistic and porn culture is developing ...if we are a victim of pure capitalism then its a fault of our culture and not others culture

[@cakelady8534]

This is so well made!!! I really hope to travel the world when I graduate from school and you are one of my biggest inspirations😘❤️

[@inderjeetsingh5554]

Oh really after ur grad...... Then take me with u too.. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@arshagya]

IDK why every traveller misses out the great north-east, shimla and my home state of Jammu Kashmir in India, trust me guys... you are missing a lot. India trip is incomplete without that.

[@hemanthrudrapaka482]

They always go about the Taj Mahal, where there is less cleanliness. Northeast is so less explored as also much of the south.

[@discuswell6238]

They even miss maharashtra,odhissa,gujarat and Karnataka which is not touched by most of people just like northeast

[@Stella-cf4cl]

Rudrapaka Sai Hemanth is the northeast less humid or hot? I live in Houston and I hate the weather here so if I go to India I want to go to the cooler areas

[@arshagya]

@@Stella-cf4cl check this link out. -> www.treebo.com/blog/cool-places-to-visit-in-india/ All these places are pleasant in summers. Edit- Do visit Kashmir. Its my home state. You'll love the beauty of place and the people. Watch this video to get an idea. -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnewc3R6qqiZbLc

[@ghostanarchists9085]

@@Stella-cf4cl hi. Sorry for replying after a year lol but if you still have any plans of coming to India in the future, I can assure you that the Northeastern part has a cool and moderate climate, excluding Assam. Assam has high humidity in the summer time so you will definitely sweat a lot but in the other seasons, it's super pleasant. Also, considering it is a large state, various parts of it vary in the climate range. However, the rest six states that is Sikkim, Nagaland, Meghaland, Mizoram, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura have very cool climate. It's beautiful and mostly hilly region so you'll see a lot of natural beauty, waterfalls, forests, wildlife, mountain life and such. It's very soulful. I'd recommend coming in the fall/spring time because that's when the weather is at its best here. Although, the winter time concludes alot of holidays so that brings out the culture much more, and the tourism department is also in high demand and availability around that time. If you are used to cold climate then it won't be difficult at all though because even if the weather is very cold in winter, it is still more bearable than most of the European countries.

[@Verally]

Woah India looks like such a special, interesting, beautiful country! I'd love to go there one day ☺️🧡🌼

[@swetamohanty6401]

[@chloepalo9857]

let's embrace the uniqueness of india and their happiness because of it.

[@leahsims411]

The book you were holding, the defining decade, I read that about a month ago and have been nonstop telling everyone about it!!!! It was so motivating and encouraging I’m so happy you found it too!!!

[@shubhakaushik2274]

OMG. I had no idea you went to India! LOVE THIS

[@samrudhishrikhande]

This video just makes me so happy!! Can't wait for your all other India vlogs❤ lots of love from Mumbai, India✨

[@LoveLaRieXO]

So great meeting you today, in Soho, Elena! Beautiful vlog, I can’t wait to visit!😍 Plus, as vegetarian, I’m sure I’d eat like a queen on a trip to India ❤️❤️❤️

[@arianas7585]

Amazing editing Elena!!! You did an amazing job with this video! Love you and all your content :))))

[@phoniexmarina2891]

she had such a way of filming the beauty of countries and showing it so well i love it :) i’m so happy u got to visit india especially cuz i’m indian 💓

[@yashiegurl98]

I've been looking forward to this!!!! u make the best travel vlogs elena

[@anaromero2298]

Really loved this vlog!!! Cant wait to visit India someday it looks so different and magical❤️

[@mayratualombo4566]

Amazing Elena, great job!!!!! Congratulations

[@beekay700]

Loved this video guys! Really miss chatting with you both. Thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you!

[@kat.5927]

Wow Elena, the editing is so incredibly well made! You definitely deserve a big following.

[@gracedunbar-miller6341]

Ah I love this!! I spent some time in Senegal and it’s very much encouraged that you buy and wear traditional clothing. It’s not only a way to participate in the economy of the country you’re visiting but a way to be respectful when visiting more culturally conservative areas. It’s actually ONLY appropriative if you wear them in the states without context, or if you alter them to fit modern trends not represented within the country you bought them (ie. cutting a traditional dress to be a mini dress or crop top). You both look great!

[@honeybinchofoats3808]

such a beautifully made video!! I can’t wait for the others to come out. so glad you’re able to share this trip with us :~)

[@alyshademartinez3759]

love this Len! So beautiful!!

[@skloise]

AAAAAAHHHH I’ve been patiently waiting for this!!! Finally!! 💖💖💖

[@cisilver5982]

You and your boyfriend are so dang cute. Love the video ❤️

[@vanessas6978]

Love love loved the video! makes me wanna go back right now:) Also, you look absolutely stunning in the saree Elena!!! So excited for more of India vlogs!

[@allisonmarie2647]

What an amazing experience. Your sari is beautiful. Can’t wait to see the rest of the videos!

[@anvitakashyap]

So happy that you enjoyed my country! Lots of love from India! 😘

[@StylishlyInsane]

This is so dreamy, India has been on my list for a while but now I'm dying to go! Also lol Fletcher loves to talk (I can't hate because SAME. I actually really appreciate it haha)

[@monagopal6497]

Beautiful!! I can’t wait to go back later this year!!

[@pattarapal.4566]

I love your vlogs so much! :) always looking forward to watching your vids!

[@alannah6921]

WOW this is amazing!! You inspire me every single day

[@angeljohn3310]

Elena u inspire many young girls out there, never stop what u are doing.I'm glad u visit my country. Much love 🌺🌺

[@lauramarazzi1012]

So beautiful! I think I went to all the same spots when I was in Agra and Dehli! India is the best! The colours and smells there are unreal, unlike anything I've ever experienced! The Taj Mahal is so perfectly symmetrical, it's nuts! And the tile work is to die for!

[@kirtigupta9753]

Well I hate to disappoint u but there are a few structures in India which are probably better than Taj Mahal. One of them is the Ellora Temple(carved from a single rock, top to bottom). It's an unparalleled piece of architecture like the Taj. Second one are the Hampi ruins. Part of the Vijayanagar empire which was the grandest in its time.

[@kirtigupta9753]

Then check out the Ellora Temple and Hampi ruins. Both are UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE sites and unparalleled piece of architectures

[@lauramarazzi1012]

Kirti Gupta sounds awesome! I’ll have to check those out!

[@crystalh5342]

Fletcher seems so down to earth and humble. Happy for you two

[@BeccaDeLaCreations]

24 seconds in and I'm already in love. Sooooo yep Elena has done it again!

[@rimapatel6621]

Looks like you had a GREAT time! Can't wait to see more (:

[@lonelysocks3894]

india looks beautiful and i can’t wait to travel in the future

[@margauxmargaux3434]

I have been waiting for this for soooo longgggg! Cant wait to watch it💕

Loved seeing India through your eye and lens! Excited to see more of the trip❣️

[@devonyoumans]

YES I have been waiting for this 🤩

[@AmandaNicole75]

I am looking into traveling to India soon, with the hopes of checking Taj Mahal off my seven wonders bucketlist! I'm definitely going to look into traveling through Contiki. Great video!

[@mcgil8891]

Yaayyyy can't wait for the next video

[@ViennaSkye]

this is so well produced!! The intro is literally like a tv show

[@Emilia-zh8fj]

wow i just started watching your videos and you have already been such a big inspiration for travelling 💕 i aspire to travel when i finish school

[@HandmadebyVaishna]

This makes me want to visit my home country more often! Also I love the vibe of your videos ❤️❤️!!

[@Hoosierontherun]

Thank you for being considerate of other cultures but I think in this case it's cultural APPRECIATION because you are visiting the country and being very respectful of the origins. Thank you thank you that's all we ask for!

[@monikongkanabharadwaj9915]

Speechless!! and flawless editing♥️♥️♥️♥️ please share the struggles you guys faced in the trip..😊😊😊

[@MarkHoltze]

Fantastic video, loooved it!

[@nikamicko6073]

I ve been waiting for this vlog...so so great :) you do really good job:)))

[@gayatrigarud2308]

OOOOOOOMMMMGGGGG..you're in India..Welcome to my beautiful country........hope you enjoy your travel -Love from India PS- Amazing video

[@freyaparton]

Your are so gorgeous and amazing at filming and editing like this whole video is stunningggg 💛💛💛

[@sally-annehunt8820]

Wow this entire video is just stunning. I hope I get to travel the world some day

[@anika5360]

I’ve never been to India but I feel like you’ve captured the vibes perfectly!!

[@fionaappplebottomjeans]

if you want to help the local economies of developing countries it is SO much better to travel with a local tour group! western tour groups like contiki profit off of the tourist attractions in these countries while putting very little of the money back into the hands of the country's people. i completely understand the appeal of a western companies (they're often better established, feel more secure, and are an easier way to meet other westerners), but if you carefully read online reviews for local tour companies, you can usually find a better, more authentic, and cheaper tour that benefits the country's people! just something to think about ~ p.s. the video was beautiful as ALWAYS elena ~

[@hannahautumn0922]

Tiana Gammie there are also western tour groups that put money back into the community they're touring and work with locals to improve their lives (my fave is G adventures) which have all the advantages of an established western company but work within a community to strengthen it!

[@KellyCassidyy]

I hope to be as good a vlogger as you one day, your videos never fail to impress me💞

[@Giuliaroe]

That's so beautiful! Your Saris are amazing too! Are you going to post more videos about this trip?

[@shrutilama7220]

I love it that you didn’t explore only one part of Delhi.. you covered both.. people always stereotype India as dirty and crowded.. but india is a very diverse place.. you will find everything here..😊

[@CourtneyCoxx]

Wow that’s such a long travel time, phew I hope you got some flight sleep! Looks so amazing girl, traveling is the best. I wish everyone knew how much traveling opens your soul and mind! Enjoy!! 🧡✌🏼

[@medhajasthi3990]

I went there last summer and it was so amazing! Going back this summer and very excited :)

[@lavendermoons2149]

love this! thanks for sharing :)

[@lyrica5816]

As someone from India, I love this!❤️ thanks for visiting 😄

[@janvilalchandani4232]

Welcome to India, Elena! I stay in Mumbai and am eagerly waiting for your Mumbai vlog haha❤️

[@Sara-qw7lc]

Great visuals and music! I loved your outfits in this video! Did you go to the southern Indian states as well?

[@ShubhamSharma-yk9uy]

Your positivity makes this vlog very nice .❤️nd you showed both part the developed and old delhi . Very nice Lovely vlog❤️

[@shubhidoobydoo]

hey i am from India and let me tell you, you guys looked amazing in indian wear, elena in saree is such a pleasure to see for me as an indian :D

[@TravelingHolmes]

Well made video!! :) Were actually in the middle of selling everything to travel full time with our toddler (we document it all on our KZbin channel), so we love watching other's videos for inspiration!

[@starfish0607]

If you do visit again, then you should definitely go to South and east India. Also the thar desert and the Himalayas :) The culture in these parts is completely different

[@AanchalKhumanthem]

Yessss!

[@mahimakulkarni10]

Hey Elena...Absolutely loved the vlog😊👌... I'm an Indian.. just putting it out there..if u have plans to go back to Delhi...do visit the Akshardham temple. ..it's breathtakingly beautiful during the evening time😍... also there are many shows in there that give you a complete overview of the Indian culture... Btw love your channel and your aesthetic ❤❤❤ Love love ^__^

[@salonityagi6287]

I'm so beyond happy that you had a fun time in my country and also you look stunning in that saree

[@nuramedea1115]

me and my boyfriend did the EXACT same tour by ourselves a month before you both did. I just turned 18, grabbed my backpack and went to inda. it was our first backpacking trip. nice vid, greetings from germany :D

[@thothurealbatman2308]

Have a good trip Stay safe and do visit Sikkim (tiny Himalayan state of india which won United Nations award), meghalaya (Scotland of india) and himachal pradesh (Switzerland of india). Stay safe ~~~~a Kind Suggestion From A Stranger

[@tarushisingh7686]

How happy it makes me to see you on my land ♥️Hope you had a great time 🌼😍❤️🥰Also you are one of the finest travel vlogger .

[@aanika9537]

the best form of cultural appreciation! i'm so happy you got to visit india

[@jayatigupta3372]

Yay! Beyond thrilled for this video. It's actually the The India Gate and not The Indian Gate. I really like the vibe and music you have chosen :) Ya'll looked so pretty in the sarees and kurtas!!

[@ElenaTaber]

Jayati Gupta ooo thank you! My bad

[@sierragiannaris2480]

Love that there’s a pride flag 🏳️‍🌈 at the coffee shop

[@adityasarkar8445]

Yes. The lgbtqia community in India is garnering more acceptance as time passes. Neither I nor any of my queer friends faced any adverse reactions coming out to our straight friends. The older generation is a lot more skeptic but it seems to be changing.

[@alisham6634]

No offense or anything but just because there isn't a rainbow flag hanging up in a shop doesn't mean that they don't support or are accepting to your preferred sexual orientation.

[@virendrasinghkandwal]

@@alisham6634 hehehe

[@2and1things]

Alisha M the hanging of the flag in the shop window is a clear indicator that that particular shop is lgbt friendly. I think it's a topic that's garnering a lot of attention in India at the moment, so it's no surprise that this flag would be there :)

[@2and1things]

Li saaa of course! I didn't mean to suggest otherwise

[@camillejuan1261]

this video is amazing, now I have to stop myself to jump on a plane an fly to India!!😍😍😍 ps: your sari looks amazing on you!!

[@kirtigupta9753]

Good that u showed both the Old Delhi as well as modern New Delhi. Wish u had shown more of New Delhi. U MISSED QUITE A FEW TOURIST LOCATIONS such as Qutab Minar, Akshardham Temple, Agrasen etc

[@EmrulTravelGuide]

Hello Elena, Nice Travel Vlog. Really Enjoy It..Your Video Is awesome ! Happy tomorrow! I'm with you.

[@carlyisoffthewall]

i feel like you’ve probably collected so much clothing from the places you’ve traveled since you try to dress according to tradition wherever you go! it would be cool to see a video maybe on it?
