Is INDIA Worth Visiting? Response to Bald & Bankrupt
Ben from the YouTube channel @baldandbankrupt recently returned to India after six years, alongside @BackpackerBen to travel by train from Delhi to Kolkata and see how the country had progressed. However, it seems that they weren’t too impressed with their experiences. As a seasoned traveler who has visited India thirteen times, I decided to create my own video in response, offering some tips on how to have a more positive and enjoyable time exploring this mysterious and often misunderstood country.
Having explored India extensively, I can attest to its incredible beauty, rich cultural heritage, and hospitable people. While India can be overwhelming and challenging at times, with its bustling cities, chaotic streets, and stark contrasts, it is also a place that offers unique and unforgettable experiences. From the majestic palaces of Rajasthan to the serene backwaters of Kerala, there is no shortage of wonders to discover in India.
In my video, I share insights on how to navigate the complexities of traveling in India, including tips on transportation, accommodations, cultural etiquette, and safety. By approaching India with an open mind, a sense of adventure, and a willingness to embrace its quirks and contradictions, travelers can unlock the true essence of this diverse and captivating country.
So, is India worth visiting? Absolutely. Despite its challenges and complexities, India is a destination that will leave a lasting impression on any traveler willing to explore its depths. With the right mindset and preparation, a journey through India can be a truly transformative and rewarding experience.
If you’re planning a trip to India or simply curious about this fascinating country, be sure to check out my video for valuable insights and tips on how to make the most of your time in India. And remember, the key to a successful trip to India lies in embracing its chaos, culture, and diversity with an open heart and mind. Happy travels!

Wonder why most of the travellers visit Pakistan and then changes their perspective about India..
He deliberately visited most chaotic places to showcase India in a bad light even though he knows India very well he could have visited much decent places..😊
As I cannot stand either of them so don't watch, they have given UK a good drubbing which changed my mind about a trip.
70% Indians live in North India and hence mostly crowded and have basic issues.
25% Indians live in South India which is mostly clean except the capital cities.
Visit for Natural beauty -Kullu,Manali,Rishikesh,Laddakh,Kashmir, Darjeeling, Kojhikode, Lakshdweep,Ooty, Kodaikanal,Coorg,Madikeri,Goa ,Kerala etc
To see modernity- Gurugram,Noida, Bangalore,Pune,Mumbai (mostly),New Delhi (not old Delhi),Hyderabad (not Sikandarabad),Ahmedabad
Precautions-Stay in good hotel,Eat in good restaurants (even Indians avoid street food),Travel by good trains (Maharaja,Vande Bharat,metros,Rajdhani) and by rented cars.
Avoid travel in rainy season because muddy at many places.
One should research well before travelling to an unknown place.
Caste system is evil…Modi should work hard at home…not trying to fix the world…does not help India internationally taking sides..like supporting evil RussianState particularly the evil leader who is a war criminal..India gone bonkers due to Modi.
For me the most comprehensive. The snowy Himalayas, Goa beaches, Thar desert, Ghat forest, NE wetlands, Gange swamps, Delhi the city of night lights, Bombay city of bright condos. All the Asian mammals and big cats from tigers, lions, panthers, leopards, snow and clouded, cheetahs this year. The flag looks like nature sunset/cloud/greenery. Our national symbols are iconic tiger, cobra, peacock, lotus, mangoes, dolphin, lndian roller, flamingos, lndian doves, ringnecks, lndian paradise flycatcher are state birds and various colors. Red represents a blood bond. Saffron color represents rawest earth soil. Every spice has meaning, for example turmeric, jasmine for perfume, basil on everything. Holy water from top to bottom, source of milk, sacred trees. The oldest reIigions, languages, every state culture is unique and comprehensive, the most colorful and festive because our philosophies believe in all gods, rooted with nature and science, remained the steadiest because our philosophies teach quaIity over quantity.
Happy to see some people are mature and understand what he was doing.
I' am for all of us coming together and having a group hug, let us all chant the sacret mantra : OM NAMAH SHIVA OM NAMAH SHIVAY ,OM NAMAH SHIVA, PARADISI PARADISI JANS MIHI, PARADISI PARADISI JANA MAHI☀️
no need to defend or blame india, because india in fact sucks, i have been to india 4 times due to work, and i know what i am talking about
6 years ago when his channel was worth peanuts he won`t say a bad thing about India because he needed subscribers now that his channel has got bigger and he does not give a c**p about his indian viewers he can afford to be truthful now. What a hypocrite !!!!
It's been good because it's created a conversation that needs to be aired.
Bald wasn't getting enough kink so he came to India unfortunately he ran away 😅
the worse part of travelling… fkn dogs.
Hi
They were looking for a bad experience! Unfortunately, negativity sells when it comes to social media.
Hi Gabriel, some trips just don't go as planned. Even though Bald expects these trips to go array sometimes he travels a little bit edgy.
Men urinating in the street should put anyone off of India. It’s a dirty country I’m afraid only nice in the rich areas.
I think that Bald is actually a very arrogant man as we saw him in the last video, only now he has shown his true face, until now everything was about subscribers,views and money.He really disappointed me as a person.
I wonder why foreigners thinking India means delhi ,mumbai Rajasthan the end of trip…came down to South Karnataka,kerala, tamilnadu andra, Telangana are have wonderful places and more organised in terms of all .
I’m thinking the best way to survive and enjoy India is by doing a 6* organised Tour 👌👌
As Indian I don't think he shown wrong india need much improvement human life is so cheap in india board falling, train accident, potholes normal as Indian we should take it as positive criticism
Bald had been to india several times and he understands very well what he is getting into. Yes india has got its fair share of problems but still it certainly offers one of the most beautiful regions.
Like gab mentioned, get out of those metropolitan cities and you will find countless regions which are among the most beautiful places.
Thank you gab for talking about it.
You are most welcome to india.
See you ❤
Bald is not ordinarily as negative as he was in that India video. I have watched every single video of his, and I saw it before the outrage, and I thought "wow, Bald is being very critical here". Anyways, he was speaking the simple truth, as Gabriel confirmed, and he has the right to his opinion. The only question is whether or not posting such a negative video is worthwhile, especially when he's so famous. If I was Bald, and clearly I'm not, I would have probably edited the negative stuff out. But he's entitled to his freedom of speech, and people shouldn't be so fragile.
Just reading the comments. Bald is 100% NOT a negative vlogger in general. That's pure BS, and the people saying that havent seen his content. This particular video was extremely negative, and unusual because of that. Hence the outrage. Let's not strawman Bald here though, strawmanning is for the weak of mind. Do better guys.
All of this talk about balds ? It is related to testosterone/ genetics , Im struggling with my own baldness, I live in a black area, an the blacks confuse baldness with bad things😂
Thank you Gabriel. I find your videos unique, honest and professional.
I'm pretty sure bald and ben know all this. It feels like you are all working together to me. It wouldn't surprise me. This is all your main source of income and I myself would be doing anything to maximise that income. Will Harold Baldr be next to give his two pence worth?
I'm a travel vlogger and I have 2 videos about India and its all positive, if anyone is interested in my vlogs its on my channel.
Bald's worshippers will be coming to mass report your channel Gabriel.
India is magical and cant wait to return hopefully many times 🤩
God Bless you Gabriel ❤ . I pray and I hope you remain safe , healthy and happy in your entire life. God bless you brother lots of love ❤. Thank you.
India also has Vande Bharat Express train which is not high speed but an upgrade for India.
They also constructing a Shinkansen train from Mumbai-Ahmedabad.
India is the largest country. Every corner of India is different except honking. Visit NE region of India between November to February month. In mainland India has two side hi-tech and traditional old Indian life.
India has thousands of castes, hundreds of languages. Immigration happens in India too, from poorer regions to most thriving ones and natives don't like it.
Big cities are overwhelmed with immigration.
India has a language problem. Some South Indians hate Hindi.
Himalayan regions are least populated and least polluted. North-western, Western and Southern states are economically better and less populated than North India(gangetic plains).
Gangetic plains are most populated, most polluted and economically poor.
Here, lower castes don't have same standard of living or hygiene as general castes. Lower castes, untouchables and muslims among these castes have higher population growth(than general castes).
Do not drive in India. Traffic is horrible. Avoid backpacking as a female traveller if you are alone. More than 70% population of India was never educated in entire history of India.
India being a majority Hindu country is a myth.
Those guys have also shown many good parts of india too, they've been many times.
Who knows it's for views or information warfare by the West or any enemy states(China, pakistan) , it's so fuckin easy to buy these popular vloggers to make them do whatever you want them to do. Lately i have seen a lot of anti india propaganda on both X and YouTube. The flipside is if anybody from India shows the homeless,drug addict and dirty streets of los Angeles, Philadelphia or Chicago,it might not affect Americans that much because people would still flock to those countries because it's a first world nation and is not dependent on any tourist money.
Totally agree Gabriel India is more complex than what Bald and Bankrupt showed
