INDIA Vlog 07 - Why we do not recommend Delhi

Hi travellers! This is our first overseas tour after the covid pandemic. We stayed 42 days in India. Snow was our most favorite thing about this tour. We spent our first week at Shimla-Manali, where it was very cold. We played snow games at Solan Valley, We took a jeep ride at Kufri, And for the first time in our lives, We had some unforgettable moments in the snow. Then after a 12-hour drive, we arrived at Agra. And we had a lovely Valentine's Day at the Taj Mahal premises. Now we're in Delhi,

And from this blog, we'll show you how we spent our time in Delhi. It is our first day in Delhi, We had a little rest in the morning, And now we're on our way to watch the sunset from Humayun's Tomb. It is just 8 kilometers away from the hotel where we're staying. This place is said to be so beautiful during the sunset, and from the photos that we saw, the whole place looked like a picture. So, we decided that this is the best time for us to visit there. Kumar Bhayya, who lives near the hotel is

driving us there, We've arrived at Humayun's Tomb. This is believed to be the mausoleum of the former king, Humayun. And also, this is considered as the first mausoleum in the Indian sub-continent. The mausoleum covers an area of approximately 27 arcs. We're still at the entrance, but we're excited to see the place we saw in those pictures. And we already did our research, So I think we won't be needing a tour guide, since we have some idea about this place. The details you heard earlier in thi

s video, were some of the information that we've found. Cameras are allowed to use inside the premises, but gimbals are not. We'll bring you some handheld visuals, as we did in the Taj Mahal, where the cameras were allowed without gimbals or tripods. More than 2 million tourists visit this place within a year, And because of the proper maintenance and security, this place still attracts tourists. Let's go inside and see for ourselves. Shall we Kasun? We've always heard about castles and mausoleu

ms in ancient stories, But sometimes, there's not even a chance for us to take a glimpse of them. I mean, the most we get to see is the ruins of those places. But the fact that these are still standing tall, and gets proper maintenance, which might be what makes these places so important. Let's go inside. The sunset is coming from this side. But today's sunset is not as beautiful as we expected, The best time to visit this place is either in the morning or in the evening. And since this is a big

open area, it's better if you avoid the afternoon sun. As you can see, there's a small mist going on in Delhi due to air pollution. Using a mask is highly recommended. I removed mine to record this video. Elina was wearing a mask too. Visuals might not be so bright and beautiful because of this gloominess. Humayun's Tomb is the first garden tomb in India's Mughal architecture, This premise covers an area of approximately 25 arcs. This graveyard was first started in 1565 AC. After 9 years from t

he death of King Humayun, his Persian queen Hamida Banu Begum built this place. It was designed by the Persian architecture Mirak Mirza. And it is believed that the many architectural structures such as the Taj Mahal, was inspired by the design of this Humayun's Tomb. We came back to our hotel, You saw we went on a tuk earlier, But we used this Ola cab service to get back to our hotel. And today was the first time we used an Ola cab in Delhi, We chose a car as our ride, and it cost us 202 Indian

Rupees. But the tuk only costs 150 Indian Rupees. I used the cash payment method, Since I was worried that the card might get cancelled. because I had some issues with Grab Taxies back in Indonesia. This is the rooftop of the hotel where we're staying. And we're staying at the Fab Hotel White Klove. It is located 4-5 kilometers away from the station, And we chose this place because we could easily get to the Metro. I also have some videos to edit. The temperature here is 25°C now, But it was ve

ry cold in the morning. The night might be chilly too. We came to have some dinner, and Kasun is already making the bill. Kasun ordered us some Garlic bread with Tomatoes and Cucumber, It's like some sort of salad. The garlic tastes good. It also has this cumin topping, that gives it a unique smell. We also bought some chicken momos and vegetable spring rolls. Let's try this one too. It looks delicious. It's so spicy. Air pollution is upto 318 units here, According to this, it is worse than yest

erday. We can also feel the dust and the pollution when we're outside. We tried our best to protect Elina by putting on a mask, and we always kept her with us. This is the only bad thing about Delhi. You should definitely check the air pollution levels once you're here, And if it is more than 100-150 units, you must put a mask on for your safety. That's all about today, Let's see about tomorrow's plan. We were planning to visit the India Gate, to watch a beautiful sunrise. We'll see you then. Th

is is our room. My workspace is over here, Elina has already made a mess, That's all I guess. The bathroom is over here. I don't think they can hear us. Later, perhaps? We are on our way to the supermarket. We came to do some shopping. Air pollution level is higher today, So we canceled our outdoor plans. We rescheduled them for tomorrow and came shopping instead. Tissues and other sanitary products became our priority, We also have Detol here. This is very useful when we're going on trains. And

when we're at restaurants since the water here is not the purest. Here, we have the floor details of this supermarket. And you must have this Vaseline pack. It really helps you with the cold. You can use it on your hands, legs, and even on your lips. Let's take this Eno six-pack for stomach related-emergencies. This city has already started its Polythene prevention campaigns, We were asked to buy these bags because, they don't provide polythene bags from the supermarket. They have completely gi

ven up polythene. Fruits and Vegetables are not available in this market. We can either bring a bag with us, or we can buy one of their bags. We came back to the same restaurant. Because the food was great. This is an English breakfast, and it includes something like french fries, bread with tomato, cucumber, and omelette. This is a banana pancake for Elina. I was in the middle of an edit, I also have some errands to run. Including a laundry visit. They fell asleep. After I'm done, I was thinkin

g of getting a head massage from the saloon outside. Let's go. I came for my head massage. We came here yesterday to check the prices. Let's see. Naveed did my massage today. And what is this? Face cleaning? I've put on a face-cleaning lotion. Chamari is going to be scared after she sees me. Okay, the massage is over. Naveed is the one who did my massage. What is the name of this saloon? It's U Like Hair Saloon. Good Bye! Hi Travellers! It's our first day in New Delhi, And we're going to... Cham

ari, where are we going? Is the mic turned off? What? Is the mic turned off? It's on. I can hear you. I'll turn it off then. This is named as the Indian continent's first... Elina, stay away from the dust. Elina. Hey, we stopped. We stopped. This place is called the Humayun Tomb. And it has King Humayun's grave... We always have to keep our eyes on Elina when we're outside. Everything was recorded but she forgot to turn the mic on.
