I Had a Cosmic Head Massage in Pushkar, India 🇮🇳
Рет қаралды 192,301
Күн бұрынIn this India Travel Vlog, we find ourselves caught in a Tourist Scam in India.
I have loved 99% of my India travels, unfortunately, we fell victim to a religious scam in Pushkar, India in this travel vlog.
Whilst the people and culture of India are so varying and beautiful, I do share REAL travel experiences - the ups and downs, good and bad, and this did happen to us. Whilst we have travel experience and were able to get out, maybe others weren't so lucky, so I am sharing my experience to help others notice this scam before it happens or to show them how to get out of it if they find themselves in it.
I know that scammers and scamming are not representative of the average Indian population - but my channel is not an India channel, it's a travel channel, and this is what happens sometimes.
We also tried some amazing Rajasthani street food, and felt the Israeli influence on the town whilst devouring an amazing Falafel Roll, and finished off our experience with a cosmic head massage from one of the friendliest people we have ever met.

For any other tourists who may be unware. There is no religious tax or anything like that in India. It is a secular country and free country, you do not need to donate just because you are a tourist. Also when needed, always threaten police action if your property is endangered, police tend to prioritise tourist issues (which can be a bad or good thing depending on who you are). Never feel bad about threatening police or being rude if you are defending your personal space or property, it is what scammers and creeps deserve.

U misunderstood. D lake was holy.people go there at a particular date to erase their sins & get escape from ghosts if they possessed them.and they took a bath at d lake. It brings prosperity & happiness. They r not converting u to hindu, cause there is no process of converting to a hindu. As u went there they thought u may want to do it. But asking for 50 $ is wrong .and also it was not right ritual and it is not d time. As u dont have d knowledge u can ask anybody there about it. Ask d question-"why people take bath at pushkar lake". U will not find d right answer at internet,

Myself living in Australia Adelaide from last 9 years and belongs from New Delhi. One best tips I want to give you is that...... Always talk to the local people before you do something which you are not sure of, I can understand being in a new country you may not know all the local rituals, please try to talk with a few local people they will definitely help you, they might not help you if you don't ask for help because may feel you are doing it from your will. Please Please talk to local people at least a few. Don't hesitate to call the police in case of need dial 100 they will definitely help. Try to talk to people where you will or stay being local they will help you and guide you. People in India are good. Sorry for this from my side. Please let me know if you need any help or guidance happy to guide or help. Cheers.

Additionally, no one helped you because religion is a very sensitive topic here in India and nobody wants to offend anyone religious (or claims to be).

Please visit Kailasa Temple at Ellora Caves in Maharashtra India. It's considered greatest architecture in history of mankind, because the way it was built seems unbelievable for even today’s time. The temple was built at least 1300 years ago. No stone or nothing was added they carved a mammoth Granite rock/mountain with intricate details. The Kailasa Temple is notable for its vertical excavation-carvers started at the top of the original rock and excavated downward. At least 400000 tonnes of stones have been removed in the process. About 7000 workers and their future generations worked for 135 years. One small mistake and you have to rebuild the whole temple because it's carved into the rock without adding anything, that too up to down.
@naveex6968 Жыл бұрын
It has secret underground tunnels believed to be leading to underground city which is even more mysterious and government have totally locked that down and no researchers are allowed to go inside. During the reign of Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb, the temple was ordered to be demolished along with other temples nationwide. For the task in 1682 he sent over 1000 labourers especially to destroy Kailasa Temple; they worked for over 3 years, but could barely manage to disfigure the statues here and there. It's the solid granite rock that's made so hard to destroy. Despite of his repeated efforts to tear down Kailasa Temple, Aurangzeb did not found success. Finally he gave up on destroying this temple. This is the same person who has destroyed thousands of ancient temples in India but he could not destroy this one so you can understand the magnanimity of the temple. other than Kailasa Temple there are 99 other cave temples there (100 total) of which 34 are open for public viewing. whole temple complex known at Ellora Caves.

I’m not afraid, I wasn’t asked and was eating, I never gave consent and it’s not respectful. They had a phone, they could use a translate app like I do for others. I’m certainly loving my time in India though! Thank you 🙏🏻😁🤍

Cows have very good emotional understandings. According to Hinduism they are just next to humans. I would love to see you go to a good Goshala (cow shelter) and spend a few minutes with cows. Cow shelters open for public would would generally have provisions to feed. Else you could carry bananas or jaggery to feed. I visited cow shelters many times and I love the interactions particularly with calves. It’s one good way to experience Indian culture which I rarely see tourists doing.

@@jayk6087 What I spoke is about emotional understandings and not physiology. And yes, according to Hinduism, cows are better than even dogs in emotional understandings. Many just don’t have the experience particularly outside Indian villages. I was fortunate to have had many interactions with cows.

Be careful of these things..they try to raise their prices when they see a foreigner so always take suggestions from nearby peoples and if police is nearby then ask them about it. Be safe 🙏🏻♥️ Sorry for whatever happened with you guys. My opinion:- i think it's not just old man's fault.. Because he didn't knew the value of Australian dollar in Indian rupees. As you have also seen he didn't knew English properly. So try to take help from nearby peoples who knew Hindi properly. Sometimes we are unable to understanding some people. Be safe ❤️🙏🏻 As an Rajasthani(Indian) I am really really really sorry if that old man hurted you..😢 Please forgive 🙏🏻😥.

@josieliftsthings Жыл бұрын
DEFINITELY worth learning some Hindi. Even though I still get charged extra sometimes I think it happens a lot less when I tell someone “that’s too expensive” in their language. I think it makes you look like you have more experience so they will be more honest! However it depends where you are going as there’s so many languages here, hindi might not be what they speak where you are going! So do a bit of research into the language where you’re travelling to 😁 Oh and thank you for watching 😁🙏🏻

This is really sad. I too got scammed on my first visit but didn't let that spoil my trip. That was many years ago and I've now been to the country four times and will be visiting again real soon. I admit navigating India can be a bit challenging especially for female solo travellers like me. But once you look past the bad sides, you'll appreciate the country even more. I'm getting better and better in my every visit that I can now tell if someone is trying to scam me. Upon seeing that guy trying to give you the flower, I can tell he is out to scam you. I try to avoid these kinds of people. Goodluck with the rest of your trip. I guess, getting scammed in India is just part of the experience. :D

@@carolynboston9715 he is trying to he cautious because he does not want anything bad to happen to any one visiting our country, thing is he needs to understand that one cannot literally vouch for or shun the number of people we have in India, and there are certainly more good people than bad ones, it's just you have to be careful with who you engage with because as locals we do the same.. infact foreigners who visit India interact with more random people than any local would do. So it's all upto our own selves to take care and be smart in life. Know when to engage with someone and when not to. It just comes with experience, as there are plenty of people who are now living in India who are not Indians, so it's all about learning how to be in India. The guy however was simply trying to be extra cautious.
