Why is this place so cheap? Pushkar.

[@blackman7186]

I have to say that place looked like some mediaeval little neighbourhood in modern world! You have a old lady selling knives, you have vender at the side of the road selling snacks, cultural hand made travel notebooks, then you have some duded randomly playing local instruments, wow.

[@fiascodagama1]

Everywhere you turn there's something of interest or different to see. Pushkar is a great place to travel.

[@Just_forfun9140]

That is why this place is very interesting. I hope they keep it that way.

[@Bluedeskz]

I grew up near this place. Thanks for the kind words. It’s been like this for the last 30 years or so that I have seen it, so looks like we have struck a fine balance between traditions and tourism. Do visit Pushkar ❤

[@amitatlp]

You are really calm and patient about everything. Ignoring the imperfections and focusing on positives. Love your personality!

[@fiascodagama1]

Thanks, amitatlp. I guess we have a choice in the way we look at the world - I choose to look at it with compassion and positivity. Thanks for stopping by to say hello.

[@xenovier_gaming]

Very few foreigners go this deep in India 👍🔥

[@fiascodagama1]

I have to admit as a traveler it's nice not to turn around and see another westerner every five minutes. :) I'm not sure how deep I'm actually going though. I'd like to go a little further. Thanks for dropping by.

[@RaReP]

$1.80 AUD for a stainless steel knife seems like a pretty good deal, Everyone seems really friendly in Pushkar :)

[@fiascodagama1]

Everyone is really friendly here, and really laid back, Great place!

[@Just_forfun9140]

About $1.20. USD

[@ananthkmurthy]

The dal laddu shouldnt me more than 25 rs as per kg was 540 rs but its very healthy in winters . Its made up of chickpea powder( besan) nuts ghee and most importantly Gond( natural gum) which prevents heart stroke and good for lactating women. You got the good price for handmade diary.

[@fiascodagama1]

Thanks, shublabh Being new to an area one can never know and just hope you don't pay too much more. I'm OK with a little "tourist tax" but it does help when people like yourself give an insight into the product and cost.. Appreciate the information.

[@Bluedeskz]

Dal laddu is correctly priced. It’s a very expensive real estate in a tourist area with really high rents.

[@samip3124]

1 tip when buying anything in India take help of local(educated ones) they will help you in real price some of the shopkeeper takes big price seeing a foreigner also ask them to reduce the price that's how we Indians do if he says 50 then ask him for 30 he was will you At least in 35-40

[@fiascodagama1]

I think you're right. Having a local friend would surely make the buying of things much easier. Having local knowledge of things is certainly an advantage when traveling. Thanks for the advice, samip.

[@akshayhazari6570]

Indian sweets are expensive, if they are made well It might well be approx. 30 Rs. Lets say 25 laddoos fit in a KG then. So 1 laddoo is 40 Gm , 0.04 * 540 Rs = 21.6 ≈ 22Rs

[@fiascodagama1]

They taste nice. Thanks for the calculation.

[@roshonanaharwara3699]

I feel better after watching your videos. May you always be in good health and be happy.

[@pratham2333]

7:25 Holy, 50 rupees for a laddoo. These cost around 10-15 rupees in shops like this all across India.
