I loved the fact that John talked about getting a clip of his wife and his eldest son walking behind the elephants. I love the respect that you have for each other and your children.

i really think that your choices are exactly that, we can have an opinion on things but not push what we think is right/wrong on others. I love your vlogs and what ever you choose for your family is right for you. so pleased to watch your travels and hope you enjoy your trip.

Wow! It is now approximately 60 years since my visit to India. Big difference…I could travel everywhere without people. You are very brave to face the massive crowds, pollution, etc. especially with two dear little boys. Still love revisiting with you. Thanks, Newbies 😊

Foreigners only visit crowded places in India..India is way more diverse than you ever imagined..There are thousands of places in India where foreigners rarely visit. Vist Central India,North eastern states..Amazing temples, palaces, forts,forests and more.

I agree 100% with Tara on the elephants. Elephants are amazing beings and deserve to be in their families and not working for man as a slave for profit.

'Be Brave, Think Big...Explore! You're certainly doing all of this on your trip to India. What unbelievably beautiful architecture you're seeing. It's a pleasure to watch this incredible trip with you two and the boys. Thank you for sharing this.

Tara, I love your quote in regards to India: “It all happens wherever it can.” Sounds exciting and explorative! Thanks always for sharing your life with us boring people here in mid-west America! Take care! 🥰🤓❤🙏🏼

Good on you for the elephant decision. When you go to Thailand, hang out at the ethical elephant sanctuaries.

Tara, you would enjoy a visit to the David Sheldrick elephant orphanage in Nairobi, Kenya. If I recall correctly his wife, Dame Daphne Sheldrick formulated elephants’ milk, which was integral in saving newly orphaned babies when their Mothers' milk was not available, a wonderful place for those who believe that animals should be born free.❤

Thank you for exploring India for us because that’s the last place in the world I would visit personally. You are brave.

Lots of smog (cough-cough)!! I think for me to be in another culture is to expand myself beyond what is comfortable for me. I learned to just try to be open and try not to judge. I learned that I truly don't know the realities of anyone else...trying to superimpose what I know on someone only creates more division and possibly estrangement. I so loved my time in India, my mind was blown open every day!! I came home with a whole new appreciation for the magnificent diversity of my planet❤❤❤

4:33 I don't know if anyone notice or not but when she carry his child the person holding camera put his hand on the edge of the iron metal board so that she and child would not get hurt without noticing anyone... that's sooooo sweet...❤❤❤

I love that you are conveying so well in this video the overwhelming sights and sounds of India. Thank you for bringing us along.

Oh another excellent video! ❤ You guys are so incredibly brave! All the horn honking would drive me crazy 😂

I love your skill with the camera and merging all your clips with music and an interesting commentary. Having been to India in the late 80s it was amazing to see how much busier it is on the streets but are thankful that technology hasn't mastered smell into the mix. Thanks for sharing this.

You guys are making core memories!! Happy travels!!

Exceptional experiences!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

I like that you explain what we're seeing.

I'm with Tara on having a guide. How incredible to learn all about the places you're visiting. Such great education for the boys too. I can see you back on the farm in years to come, discussing their memories and telling them all about those places they visited and the history behind it. Good call on going back early.

I can't tell you how much I am enjoying your travels in India. I was born there but left for England with my family when I was 3, many years ago. I have no family there and have never visited but whenever I see a documentary, or someone's travels like your channel, it's a MUST watch for me. You are very brave doing this with your two young boys, but what a wonderful experience for them.

Such a lovely couple i glad to see you are very politely exploring india and showing food culture and language thanks you so much welcome to India 🇮🇳🇮🇳😊😊

This video brought back so many happy memories from my own trip to Jaipur in Jan 2020. Can't wait to see where you guys go next!

Very cool! Thank you for letting us know about all of it.

If someone wants to avoid the hectic, chaos, polution, population you can just go to Reserve forests, jungle, mountains in Nort and North East, Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Laxadweep islands for heavenly and peaceful beach , Kerala backwaters, Sundarbans Jungle Safari by boat . Even as an Indian i only would go to these cities for work or for one time experience, I love village life and nature.

I am an Indian living in the UK and I too went to India in December. My voice got choked and I had a runny nose all the time. Me and my husband were discussing how difficult it will be for Crusoe and Sawyer with this level of pollution. The biggest problem in India is that nobody really cares about the pollution and it is never quite.

Well Newbys you started quite the conversation! 🤔 Thoroughly enjoying India through your lens. Love the music. ❤

Tack för en spännande film. Det verkar så jobbigt med alla bilar som tutar och fullt med folk överallt. Vackra hus i Indien.❤

Thank you for NOT riding the elephants❤

Really cool video guys 🤗🥰🤗so nice seeing you all having such a great time in such a great diverse country! ❤

Great travel videos, thanks guys 😊

Loved this video as always. The crowds and traffic not for me, but the buildings are so beautiful and amazing. Thankyou so much for sharing. Love to you all xx

Love, Love, L❤VE this series! Thank you for sharing! The boys are troopers❣️

What’s the different between riding camels or elephants? I love your Chanel. Those boy are adorable. Looks like Sawyer is awake more and constantly taking everything in.

Great views guys...👏👏👏

Loved the whole experience. Thank you so much for sharing your family, experiences, and thoughts. Well done.

Thank you for sharing your exciting trip. With 2 little kids you are both super brave.

I respect the Indian culture and since hundreds of years they have used elephants for different things and some take really good care of them, but I do agree that all animals should be free in the wild. India is such an Interesting country and their culture is so rich. Great tour guys. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪

Another wonderful episode in India……thanks so much for sharing!!

You beautiful souls!!! blessings from india💐 you people are amazing .Just stay happy n blessed

Great video! I can just imagine those cities back in the day when they were new and how colorful and magical they were. That Amber Palace I'm sure was absolutely beautiful! So great to see all of you having fun in any situation. You are definitely very brave! Thank you for sharing your adventures! Hugs!

Pls go to udaipur also it is venice of the east with lots of lakes and beautiful temples and palaces.

My dear friends, I was afraid to watch these India videos because I am afraid to travel. But I found that going with you I am safe. Watching you made it a wonderful experience to see all the wonders of places I will never see otherwise. I was afraid for you a lot of times. I was imagining what you were feeling privately and suffered for you. I have been worrying for the strength of your bodies, seeing how taxing travel with little children is. When I saw one of you carrying BOTH children I was praying for your spines. I found out, in my life, you actually can use up body parts. We think we are always strong enough to do what we need to. And we can! However, later we may find that we use up too much, too soon. That's why I pray for your precious bodies. No one told me to ease up. Then my body told me. John, you have been given one lesson about this. Respect and be gentle with your body. The payoff is more life in your old life. I am very proud of you and your accomplishments. I love you and all you give us. But my dears, take good care of yourselves. No one else will.🖖

Once again a delightful vlog teaching me about India’s cultural richness. Thank you.👏👏👏

What a journey! The boys are so easy to travel with. Little troopers!👦👶👍

Thank you for not riding the elephants. Living in South Africa and having had a huge scandal when the horrific training involved were exposed, it is hard to watch. But, as you say, on some level one has to accept the reality of existence.

WOWWWW! Just amazing. You def are brave. I can see the wanderlust in your boy’s face. I love it! What lucky boys they are💙💙

Thanks for another fabulous vlog, Newbys! I love how open and excited Crusoe and Sawyer are throughout this whole experience. I do believe they will carry on the Newby traveling tradition. On another note, Tara, I love your boots. They look perfect for long travel days. Can you tell me what kind they are?

It’s like a crazy, colorful, noisy, visual sensory overload teaming with all kinds of life!! Thank you for the journey 🥰

Great video as always - thanks for sharing. If my senses feel overloaded from only watching on my tv, I can only imagine what it’s like there in real life. Stay safe 🤗

Lovely memories of being in Jaipur last year for work 😊 Fun video of seeing the bits we missed! Thank you. Happy travels, and so nice to see the boys adapting so well. 😘

Thank you so much for taking us along on your travels in India. I have been to several countries in Europe, but never even thought about India. How fascinating everything is and the architecture is incredible. Thank you for sharing.

India is huge by land also by population also by tradition so really India (Bharat) is though also amazing

Thanks for sharing your travels, it's a real trip down memory lane for me seeing all the places I visited years ago. What I didn't see was a goat in a jumper - that was hilarious.

Wow...thank you for these videos! There are things you are showing us that I never even knew existed! I am living vicariously through you all!! Safe travels my friends...

10:41 mesmerizing footage of the pigeons! WOW! ~Cara 😮

Kudos for not riding elephants! I was wondering if you would or not!!! Great video. Brings back fond memories of my trip in 2016!

Hello Newbys I am so happy to be travelling India with your family. Can't wait for you to get out in the country side and for Crusoe and Sawyer to breath some fresh air. I think the cities would be too much for me with the noise and the traffic.

So enjoying 'our' time in India without the humidity! Thanks for sharing

Another wonderful podcast. Elephant situation - I to felt like Tara for a long time then with more life exploration and confirmed by my experiences I realised that my view was narrow. Some are very much honoured and well cared for and indeed would enjoy the lives they have. This came about when I started watching the work of animal communicators on youtube. I witnessed communication from arena performance horses who appeared to be very much loved and cared for at the highest level. They expressed how bonded they were with their owners and that they enjoyed the work they did. Then I looked for this option with other animals and witnessed similiar situations. I learnt to communicate with animals also albeit more modestly and I realised there are many different circumstances and experiences all beings are having. Our role as humans is to step in and protect when circumstances are bad only. ❤ Running wild and free can be a short difficult life and not desired by all. ❤

Hello from Canada. You look like your having an amazing time. Thinking big, exploring and being brave. I love the wonderment in the boys eyes. So glad we are able to tag along and enjoy the videos your sharing. 😎👍🏻

I appreciate so much you can see and share the beauty beyond the pollution, noise and chaos. We’ve never been to India and I’m not sure we would adapt as easily as you all have, so thank you for sharing the experience. We felt as if we were right beside you!~Cara ❤

visit south of India and kerala back waters and goto north east for snow and cool weather, deccan for other views

Loving seeing your Indian experience and thanks for sharing. For Crusoe , Sawyer and yourselves to look back on is truly amazing guys. You did it, well done you 👏👏🐘.

Life in India is not easy for lower middle earning class. There is pollution in these cities but we don't have money to transform completely into e bikes or electric cars in few years. Cleanliness is definitely a problem Indians should work on.

India is a country of multicolors, traditions and cultures. These are for sure memorable moments, timeless relics, that you'll treasure in your book of memories. Take care ❤

This was a really good video. Watching the boys especially cruseo . Just sleeping anywhere that’s so good for traveling. The temples and houses, homes are just beautiful. Thanks for the history too. Because when you were in Africa and went to the place in desert that had beautiful homes and a train that run around town for the ladies. It was a diamond place I think Germans were involved in building and gathering the diamonds. Anyway it is mentioned in the new Tarzan movie. Or it is a copy being the movies. Glad you are enjoying the trip with the boys I know traveling with children can be challenging. Y’all have this though. See you home soon . Love what is going on at the farm 👏🏻🙏🏻😊blessings travel mercies🙏🏻

Oh, I love everything about this episode! The hectic, the love-hate-relationship with mother India. Seeing the Palace of the winds again brought tears to my eyes. I've been there, wandering about, same time as John. Enchanting India! You sure are brave to explore with your two boys. And to see the difference between them; Crusoe being a pure nature child, and Sawya is such a happy soul, taking it all in. I love the music and the editing. Thank you for taking us with you on this journey!

Air pollution and NOISE that would drive me insane. The honking of the vehicle horns is just terrible! 😢

Bom dia, estou a adorar viajar pela Índia com vocês. Sem querer fazer qualquer julgamento, só queria referir que não vi esses sentimentos em relação a montar o Camelo...Vocês são uma família adorável e os meninos uns amores...💌

It is really, really cool, John. That long shot is a memory shot, for sure. .. Tx for taking us on this journey.

Happy Forever.. To see these sights with you guys has made me very happy.. Thank you..

This was fantastic to watch but never in my wildest dreams would I ever want to go there. It’s amazing to see the boys taking it in their stride and that’s of course following your positive attitude.😊❤ I also like that you share your different views about the elephants 🐘

Great video. Love seeing the adventures you choose and how you define you time to make it special not only for mum and dad but also the boys. I appreciate you each explaining your feelings on certain aspects of travel, guides, food, sights and activities. And even that you don't agree. Very refreshing view of travel. Please excuse me if this is a naive question, but what is the difference between riding a camel and an elephant? Looking forward to each episode of your fabulous adventures! (Though I am still recovering from the rats?😳)

Fantastic absolutely loved the detail of filming the real atmosphere-great family x

A brilliant capture of life on the streets. The colours, the sounds, the smells and the culture are brilliantly filmed with the perfect soundtrack. Appreciating differences and enjoying what we share opens our hearts to new people and new experiences. Thank you for sharing your fantastic adventure.

Wow! I’m impressed with your dedication! Watching this episode scares me! 😮😂

Thumbs up Travel Newbys! Enjoying a little taste of India (that's not curry 😂) through you! Stay safe and healthy my friends!

Thank you so much for your videos. So wonderful places ! It is like I was there with you.❤

Thanks for sharing different views in India now

What makes camel riding different from elephants? Just trying to understand. Love everything thing about your videos on both channels.

No way... Too dirty too busy.... I'm totally ready for the countryside

It depends on place u visit.There are many beautiful and historical places which are serene.Hampi in Karnataka South India.

I have absolutely nothing but amazement for you doing that with two toddlers. I would LOVE to go and do what you did in India. It looks like no other country in the world. When you said in the beginning that Jaipur is mental, I immediately put Jaipur on my bucket list. What an amazing country and wonderful people!

Of all the world countries I could visit, India would be the bottom of my list. I dislike Indian food and nothing I have seen on other vlogs would entice me there. I would be much happier and contented looking after my Portuguese property.

I am so much on the same page as you Tara ❤️🕊❤️

Thank you for showing me India through your eyes - not a country for me too many people but great to see it as a tag along viewer.

In the future video, I would love to hear more about the planning of logistics as well as cost. I don’t always follow that type of thing very well, but I am interested as I would like to be brave and explore. Cheers!

Tara, I ❤ your opinion and agree 100%. Animals are not ours to paint up and ride around on. I would prefer to see an elephant in the wide living free as all animals including humans should be.

You are very very brave…..❤️🕊❤️

Wow. I am overwhelmed with the sights and sounds you are seeing in person. Your wonderful musical soundtrack has actually brought tears to my eyes and I am not even there! Thank you for bringing me "along" and putting a small travel bug in my soul. Someday.

You are so brave !! I would not be able to handle those cities with two little kids. ..Good on you !

When you say about ethics it's funny😂 because you ride a camel 🐫 in previous video now saying about ethics when it come to elephant 🐘. Did ethics tell every animal have different ethics. Foreigners 😂😂😂

Another superb video! I have no idea when (not if 😉I'm putting it out to the Universe and you are my witnesses), I'll get to visit India for myself, but it's absolutely going to be including some of the amazing places you've shown us all in these episodes, so thank you! 🤗 I'm all for getting guides too, Tara! Google is good for findling places to visit, but a guide when you are there can bring those places to life far more than a web page ever could! I think as far as the elephants bit goes for me, I totally get Tara's viewpoint, but I think I'm more along John's thinking on this one... I suppose it is something where you need to research the elephant keepers (for want of a MUCH better word), to make sure they are being cared for in the best possible way before paying into it and having a ride. If they are cared for and happy where they are (with the huge assumption that they were bought in the best possible way initially, of course), then I suppose it is not much different to going horseriding here would be, just bigger and in a different part of the World. It's like the old donkey rides along the beaches - some were quite rightly stopped because they were working the donkeys beyond anything remotely reasonable, and were far less than caring for them, but others were given the respect and care that any *working * animal would be, but because of the nature of things were forced to stop too. It's a bit like your chickens. We can see just how loved they are and how much of a part of the Newby family they are, but they *work * to give you eggs and clear up bugs off the veggies etc. but some people would think you are cruel for keeping them at all; and others will wonder why you don't get a couple of hundred more and squeeze them into the coop.... It's a lot more complex the further into things that you look I suppose. I did like what John said at the end though about filming you walking behind the elephants - magical! (and a little less fraught than the last close-up-and-personal elephant encounter for sure! ) 🐘🐘🐘 Whichever way you look at things, whether you go for rides or not, you are providing such wonderful sights and making such wonderful memories for the boys, and that in itself is just the best! 💚 *Hugs * to you all! xx

Lovely! On my solo trip to Rajasthan I reached overload while in Jaipur and needed to take a break at the beautiful old palace hotel I was staying in. Just spent the day reading by the pool in the garden, and by the next day was ready to head out again! Loved the Amber Palace, and didn’t ride an elephant, but loved watching them bathe in the river below!

Thank you Tara. im black and white on it too.

Love you guys. Always so thoughful! Enjoy your well deserved trip. Wait for you in Portugal were I've been following you since you arrived.

Your kids are so lucky...loving the new channel.

I love that both John and Tara both have a different opinion on the elephants but you respect and value each other’s views and decided together what was best for your family at that time.

Thank you for sharing your family travels! I see both sides in the elephant discussion, for me personally I'd rather see them free & wild however they did look majestic in that setting. Wishing Greatest Blessings & safety on your travels Newbys!
