We Bought An AUTO RICKSHAW (Tuk Tuk) In INDIA - FOREIGNERS Arrive In CHENNAI

[@gregrodrigues5453]

Last year a couple from England arrived in Chennai and bought a second hand autoricshaw like yours and named it Pete. They travelled all over South India right upto Kashmir. They have a KZbin channel called Those Happy Days

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Yes we follow "Those Happy Days" and got a lot of inspiration from them. We love watching their videos 😊

[@ashishnegi9602]

@@TheRoamingPickels Yes, I was thinking about that. There is a German/Dutch couple who has done that too. Its sort of becoming adventure tourism which is great. Hope there are lots of exciting times to come. Welcome to India. I love they put a Kangaroo on your ride too.

@@TheRoamingPickels as a fellow Aussie , i have just found your channel , so excited for you . may i ask you how did you find the place to buy the tuk tuk , it looks like the same place that Liam and Janine went also . this is all so exciting to be able to follow you guys now on this trip .

[@TheRoamingPickels]

@@gretamartin-r8n Thankyou! Yes, it was the same place that Liam and Janine went to, we just did some googling to find it. Glad you are enjoying the videos 😊

This is monsoon season in India. You will be having lots of hardships.

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Hi, sorry! We forgot to mention that this footage was filmed at the start of February 2024 😊

[@DhameemReaction]

Welcome to chennai. Happy that you choose the capital city of tamilnadu. Try dosa, idli, poori and pongal. These are the south indian breakfast.

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Thankyou! We tried many of these during our travels in India and I’m sure we will cover that in our upcoming episodes. Puri and Masala Dosas were a hit for us 😊

[@gregrodrigues5453]

The hand sanitizer is available in the chemist shops

[@gregrodrigues5453]

Very nice video. Please ride behind a big vehicle it's a lot safer. Chennai used to be full of Anglo Indians. Today most of the Anglo Indians from Chennai have migrated to Australia

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Thanks for the info 😊

[@rahul3287]

Happy journey with your lovely tuk tuk 💝🇮🇳🙏🚩🕉️👍

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Thank you so much 😊

[@christinegolding5425]

Looking forward to viewing your progress. We met you lovely pair at Lighthouse Beach in Kovalam where Rusty was parked up. Back in the UK now, but probably going back out to India in September. Great video by the way.

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Thankyou! Ahh yes, we remember you like it was yesterday 😊 hope you guys are well and we hope you enjoy your next trip to India.

[@christinegolding5425]

@@TheRoamingPickels Thankyou, all good. xx

[@QUEENLEESHA-uh5wd]

Please visit more places in Tamil Nadu and welcome to TAMIL NADU 😊 ❤

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Thankyou so much! In our next episode, we begin our journey south through Tamil Nadu 😊

[@lihari_production]

Hi Matt and Caitlin, The Roaming Pickels. make a plan to visit Mysore. It's a cultural city in India, and it's famous for yoga and its beautiful places. From here, you can visit other tourist spots like Ooty, Coorg, and Wayanadu.

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Hi, thankyou very much for the heads up 😊 unfortunately we didn't make to these places this time around but plan to visit if we return.

[@rohch86]

@Thosehappydays #Pete Have you guys seen something like this ever.. 😂😂

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Haha yes we follow "Those Happy Days" and got a lot of inspiration from them. We love watching their videos and still follow their current travels in the micro camper 😊

[@RaviPrakash-tv2xo]

Great to see aussies in India exploring places 😀 👍

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Thankyou! We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent in India 😊

[@ramnathan3784]

The way he rolled his eyes when you say dresses look gorgeous.

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Haha yes, he jokingly rolled his eyes as I always spend so much time looking at clothes 😂

Very nice Video and Rickshaw good colors. I was in Chennai two months ago. What is the temperature like there now?

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Thankyou 😊 Ahh cool! This video was actually filmed at the start of February 2024 so not sure what the Temperature is like at the moment unfortunately.

[@hakunamatatabois723]

Looks like a great adventure! Im thinking of doing something same to what you guys did. Would appreciate any tips or contacts to get myself a used tuk tuk like you guys did🙌🏼 thanks

[@romeldias]

this is completely bonkers!! Let me know if you do come by to Blore....happy to help show you guys around!

[@TheRoamingPickels]

It was an epic adventure, that's for sure! Unfortunately, we have already finished our journey and have moved on to our next country but thanks for the offer 😊

[@romeldias]

@@TheRoamingPickels Oh okay!! Safe travels you guys!

[@TheRoamingPickels]

We did around 3000kms in Rusty down to the southern tip, up through Kerala, Karnataka and Goa and then back to Chennai so plenty more episodes to come ☺️

[@soumyasekharsar1591]

U should visit ladakh Leh, kashmir, Shimla, Manali, Rishikesh, udaipur, Jaisalmer, pushkar, Goa, Kerala, Bangalore, hampi, meghalaya, Darjeeling, Sikkim, Andaman and Nicobar islands in India 🇮🇳❤️

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Wow we wish we had the time to travel across all of India however we were restricted with time and only managed to get as far north as Goa. We will have to return one day to continue our journey 😊

[@rohch86]

One simple tip about Indian Food. If you feel any curry spicy try combining it with some "Curd" or ask for some "Raita". That will help you in cutting the edge of spice level that you guys are not used to. Try to enjoy various cuisine in every states you are planning to visit in India.

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Wow thanks for the helpful tips 😊 We will be sure to try that next time as we actually filmed this footage at the start of February and left India at the start of April.

[@lynnezabek]

You two are mental, loving your work ❤

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Thankyou! Hope you are well 😊

[@gregrodrigues5453]

When you go shopping in India always bargain.

[@gregrodrigues5453]

Another thing carry a bottle of lifebuoy or dettol hand sanitizer.

[@adachou]

Wow! What a great adventure in Chennai. It looks fun driving in tuk tuk 🛺 Looking forward to the next episode ❤

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Thanks! 😃 Yes driving Rusty around India has certainly been the biggest highlight of our trip so far!

[@leninchri]

I am from Chennai, it is very energetic place, unbelievable u bought auto rickshaws, also looks like you stayed in PADI, it is an industrial area my home near to this place ,I am currently living in Gladstone, Qld

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Energetic is the perfect word for Chennai! Yes looking at google maps, I believe we stayed in PADI. Ahh wow, Gladstone is also our home town! Such a small world 😊

[@IrenePrabhu-s9n]

This is crazy - so dangerous. And the south-west monsoon will definitely cause a lot of problems.

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Sorry, Forgot to mention that this footage was filmed in February 2024 so at the time, it was still very dry 😊

[@josephraju7223]

Welcome to kerala next🌴

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Thankyou! We have already finished our journey, but we do spend quite a bit of time in Kerala in the upcoming episodes so stay tuned 😊

[@lynnezabek]

I’m sitting at work eating lunch and cheesing it to my phone ❤😂

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Haha glad enjoyed the video 😂

[@vigneshram5296]

Would love to see how the training sessions for driving the rickshaw went for the two of you 😅

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Haha it wasn't much of a training session unfortunately. We only drove Rusty around a quiet block for about 10 minutes, but we certainly learnt a lot over the next few days when we left Chennai 😊

[@leighevans1489]

OMG , you two are crazy lol . But what a great idea 😊

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Haha we just wanted to try something a bit different! Thanks 😊

[@diannebennett3612]

25:36 What side of the road do they drive on.. Omg it's certainly busy...

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Same as us back in Aus, on the left 😊 Haha yes, it was so busy!

[@nataraajakumaran5379]

the van u saw with so many flowers and everything…means someone died…it is a funeral

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Ahh that is sad. Thankyou for the information and may they rest in peace

[@gregrodrigues5453]

You can cut an empty plastic pepsi bottle and use as a funnel

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Yes, that's what we ended up using as the funnel was too big 😊

[@AaronRose69]

Love how people complain that indian food is "too apicy" , " too hot",...WTF do these people expect?, cottage cheese?,..

[@ashishnegi9602]

They should make a tourist version of these autorickshaw with better engines. BTW there are American diplomat women who go to their embassy by rickshaw called pink rickshaw gang

[@ashishnegi9602]

SPICY 😄 Welcome to India mate. Even I can't handle southern spicy dishes. They are stronger in spices. I am having the similar adventures and cultural shock in Aussie at the moment. People can't think beyond Butter chicken. If you dont try different dishes, specially vegetarian and street food then you will miss a big chunk of the travel experience. Nothing can go wrong with a good fresh cooked meal. When I go back I do feel a bit different with food for a few days but you adjust quickly. At the worse the local doctors are amazing if you need them and they are way cheaper than Aussie.

[@ashishnegi9602]

@14:00 I think the cop was trying to get you to eat at his favourite place. He was waving at you guys.

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Yes it would be awesome to see that happen. In saying that, we did have very minimal issues with Rusty. He was an absolute workhorse ☺️ Ahh wow that’s very interesting.

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Thankyou! Haha yes us Aussies can be very plain with our food and tend to stick to what we know but I couldn’t agree more that you need to try the vegetarian and street food options to fully get a true Indian experience ☺️

[@ghranjit]

PLEASE USE MIC 🎙📢📣

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Hi! Yes, a mic would certainly help but unfortunately, we don't have one 😊

You can go nowhere with that bloody rickshaw 😂 Why did you not use Swiggy to order food?

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Haha yes, we would probably pick a different type of transport next time however, we managed to do just over 3000kms in Rusty and we loved every moment of it 😊 We were not aware of Swiggy at the time but good to know!

[@KiranMachiraju]

@@TheRoamingPickels 3000 km? From where to where did you travel?

[@TheRoamingPickels]

We travelled from Chennai, South to Kanniyakumari, then North through Kerala, Karnataka, Goa and then East back to Chennai via Bangalore 😊 we will cover our travels in the upcoming episodes.

[@businessswot1003]

Tuk tuk is wrong word

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Ahh yes apologies! We have heard them be called Rickshaw and Tuk Tuk so we always get our words mixed up 😊

[@berlin2047]

Sounds like a terrible idea. Good luck!
