Visiting The Yoga Capitol OF THE WORLD, Rishikesh | Backpacking India Travel Vlog Ep. 04

[@pratyushatri8248]

That was a cute vlog, Lilia! I loved how well-balanced it was. You gave just the right amount of context and let the environment speak for itself, making us feel like part of your Rishikesh experience. Great job & keep it up !

[@liliagramirez]

Wow thank you so much, this comment made my day🥹🫶🏼

[@devchauhan5389]

Grt ur Grt food informer yes Sahee Paneer and Vegetable vegetarian dishes are royal dishes u r amazing in abt Indian food Dishes information malai kofta and Shahi Paneer Kadhai Paneer that is out of this world 😋😋🤤🤤🙏🏻🙏🏻😇😇🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@liliagramirez]

Oh the malai kofta I tried for the first time and I can’t get enough of it. I’m OBSESSED with Indian cuisine😛

[@aayansh3919]

Hey, if you're heading further north, you absolutely have to visit Leh in Ladakh. Especially in the summer, it's an unbeatable destination. Picture the majestic Himalayas towering over you, their snow-capped peaks under clear blue skies. There are many ancient monasteries perched on cliffs and also magical lakes like Pangong and Tso Moriri. You can trek through rugged mountain trails, visit charming villages, and meet the warm locals. A trip to Leh is an adventure you’ll cherish forever. I think it's just an hour and half flight from Delhi. Great videos btw. Loving them.

[@liliagramirez]

Wow!! That sounds like a dream, you described it so well I can almost picture it when I close my eyes! Trekking was definitely something I missed out on since I did have the proper gear but I’ll have to come back with the proper gear and warmer months to visit Leh😍

[@liliagramirez]

@@aayansh3919 wow this description has put me there😍 I need to make this trip happen. Thank you for the suggestion✨

[@VasantHegde-ts8cj]

Hai...🎉

[@PawanGour-wm6jm]

@1:35 yes u are right. Coz it must have got black salt in it which has pungent smell bcoz of it's sulphur content. It's considered good for ur gut that's why Indians add this salt.

[@liliagramirez]

@@PawanGour-wm6jm yes that’s what I just learned!! I would’ve drunken more if I knew the benefits! DANG!

[@polashkumarshil1182]

Har Har mahadav🙏🙏

[@तेरीaisiकीtaisi]

The purpose of curd in Indian cuisine is to neutralize the acidity from spices and oil. however a sweet lassi defeats that purpose because it contains sugar. Hence, ppl consume salted lassi aka chaas usually at the end of the meal to neutralize acidity. It's not so for taste.

[@liliagramirez]

Ah I wish I knew this, I drank it before my meal and for taste! That makes so much sense. I love how this cuisine is powerful with the spices and oil but there’s always something to help with it. Like the salty lassi and the fennel seeds I tried in the last video!! Indian food is always so balanced!

[@CultureDrift]

You and Ella are truly embracing the full Rishikesh experience! How did the homemade yoga session go-did it turn out to be a zen moment?

[@liliagramirez]

[@Dannyjournal]

All I hear is traffic noises and looks very touristic, is there any off beat spot where it's calm and not touristic? Less people

[@liliagramirez]

@@Dannyjournal it was honestly pretty hectic here. A more off beaten path I would say was Dharamshala or Manali!

[@hellandheaven01]

Hii mate, The food in trains is not good so you should have ordered from the rail restro or swiggy/Zomato

@@liliagramirez tigers in wild no frnd...!!!!! U can search for tigers reserves on Google map and ull find more details on that safari.

[@CustservDesivids]

tips/positive feedback 1) makka was not even born when rishikesh was the flourishing ages ago! 2) ganja is weed , ganga is river godess 3) speak less before you know, 4) feast in hindu ( what the foxtrot is that?)

[@liliagramirez]

@@CustservDesivids thanks for the feedback! I’m so embarrassed on the mispronunciation of Ganga😅 the owners of the cafe told me that meant feast in Hindi!

[@roopeshnani]

[@Observer9812]

Rishikesh is NOT the mecca of Yoga just as Mecca is not the rishikesh of Saudi Arabia. Rishikesh is Rishikesh Mecca is Mecca.

[@shubhag3215]

Mecca just famous for Islamic invader. Destroyed Persian Iran Zoroastrian Sun temple. 1400 yrs ago history 😂😂

[@liliagramirez]

I’m sorry, I may have used the word incorrectly out of ignorance. I have heard it be used in America as like a place that attracts people. Like they say Hollywood is a “Mecca” for actors and actresses. But I didn’t realize the cultural and religious significance behind the word. I apologize for that. Thank you for educating me😊

[@liliagramirez]

@@shubhag3215I’m not too aware of that history but definitely something I’d like to look into!

[@Observer9812]

@@liliagramirez Please don't apologise. I just want people to be aware. Foreigners are mostly not aware of the cultural subjugation by Islamic invaders and "Mecca of India" is just one of the many ways of imposing Islamic superiority and many people are just not that aware.

[@Jaxteller-c5j]

Don't tell them what to wear. Common man!!!

[@Seriouslyfunny1]

It's Rishikesh, not some remote town or village dude. They're free to wear whatever they deem decent.

Thanks guys!! In certain areas we definitely did cover up more to avoid unwanted attention but Rishikesh was very open! Thank you for wishing a safe and fun trip for us though!! India has been a dream😍
