I've been 9 times to India! I've taken 2 dozen nighttrain up to 30 hours like Calcutta to Jammu, but I've almost never seen 2 sleeping on a berth! For sure, never foreigners! Naturally, you hate traveling in India!

My body still hurts from this

this is third AC not second AC

The train in the thumbnail doesn't even exist in reality, wow!!

I took a 30 hour sleeper from Amritsar to Mumbai; yes it was intense; no I didn't sleep much but when travelling alone; you get into great and mad conversations; personally I loved it, as gruelling as it was. Say what you want about India; it sorts the travellers from the tourists.

It always amaze me how these people specifically come to India to show how poor it is, while he could have purchased a decent or luxury train( vande bharat etc) train which are very good to travel to, but instead he chose the cheapest and oldest train which the most poor people of India travel in, and still in it he didn't purchased 1st class ticket,

Come on guys lets donate a dollar to this poor guy to have some good ride ❤

You could have exchanged seats with somebody, very common on Indian trains, or maybe you could’ve stayed with kat and send the other couple to the next cart. Honestly you made it difficult for your own self.

You should rename your channel to Sleeper Train Connoiseur Ben

Brother is sleeping with another person on a bed which is supposed for a single person and then complaining about comfort 🤦🏼

Few minutes of planning and a little bit of information from locals would save everything but you won't get to show the worst india titles that gets attention and views which most youtubers come here for. It's not like you can't afford but still choose the cheap options and then cry about it. I know there is so much to improve in India but most people showing the same thing to gain views is not good.

You get what you pay for mate.

Kat doing the Indian nod had me dead 😂 4:50

Even millions of Indians avoid travelling to trains longer than 24 hours.

Bro's using AI to make thumbnails at this point.

Ben, seems like every sleeper train you take becomes the "worst" sleeper train

Why r they sleeping in same bed, haven't they paid for individual beds, whats he trying to show? What's with the all the cheap traveling n expecting 1st class experience, 😂😂, got no money?

Yes! Did a few train journeys just over a month ago as I travelled around India, a 70 year old woman, on my own for a month. At least they've got toilets, unlike the 17 hour journeys I did on the bus. But were there Western style toilets opposite the Asian ones, normally situated at the end of each carriage? To be honest, I preferred the hole in the floor ones; they were, in general, cleaner! And in so many cases, the Western toilets had shoe footprints on the seat because the locals would climb up on them and squat from on top 🫣

Vloggers who compain alot are more honest and realistic and better to watch then the fake fantasy vloggers anyday

its not even a 2nd class + idk how tf u 2 are sleeping on a same bed

It’s not an official India vlog until an Indian dude shakes his head.

Ben, why didn't you fly from Hyderabad to Delhi for $60? A 30 hour train ride is truly brutal. Did you take the train just for content?

Mr. Backpacker ben British people ruled India for almost 100 years, they took all the money from India during British raj and now you are showing bad things in India👎

Even we Indians avoid, sleeper and general class, because it's chaotic... For you Ac coaches are best, they not much cost a lot.... Ac is clean, not much stress....

What is common to see is that you always only shoot distress, discomfort to get more views. That's aweful.

They have luxury private room on train as far as i know..So guys should have booked that one i mean if you want to find luxury on journey you need to spend more quid 💷you guys always look for the cheap ticket and find luxury on journey absolutely make no sense 😅

Bro if you are poor then what can irctc do

Seriously why do you guys do this to yourself 🤣 there are so many laid back, beautiful and cheap areas in India, for instance in Karnataka and Maharashtra, close to where you were. Spending some more time on each location won’t cost that much more, and allows you to charge your batteries in between train/bus rides (and actually enjoy your stay in India.) This is just brutal! 😅 Plus - I think your travel vlogger profile and viewer numbers would actually benefit from more diverse content (like staying in beautiful villages and interesting places), rather than just brutal trips.

I knew it from his first video when he mentioned he is going to north I knew he is talking about old Delhi 😂 now he will showing you all the old Delhi's worst place ever he could find

Only Ben can stand outside the toilet that looks like every other train toilet and ask where it is 🤭

When you've bullet trains and all the luxurious trains but foreigners want to go to cheap travel to show propaganda and cost affecting video.

Kat with the pursed lips just before checking out the toilet. Made me laugh “Are you enjoying the sleeper train Kat?” ……………….. “no” 😂

Why would you book a 3rd class ticket for 30-hour journey? That's nuts! You put yourself through this shit.

You can't complain about the comfort in sleeper class. You should have booked 1st class with AC then

I also couldn’t agree more with car about toxic positivity on instagram and youtube! People make the places and there’s places were bad experiences happens and also need to be talked about. No country is full of good things, India is no exception!

Ben when are you guys getting married? 😊Kat is a sweetheart. I love Kat's infectious smile. She is genuine. Be safe guys.

Why didn't you travel first class? It will be Much better than what you have been through traveling in third class ... You can actually enjoy the journey 😊

Damn, India looks like an apocalyptic wasteland. Thanks for the tour so I never have to do it

it's all relative, I suppose. As said, rode the 30 hrs 2nd class sleeper from Amritsar to Mumbai way back in 2009; enjoyed the challenge, free meals being constantly bought for me by smiling incredibly friendly Indian passengers; loads of crazy banter and the like. I was however travelling alone; and had come through Indonesia on a shoe string...After travelling from Surabaya to Jakarta on a 32 hour slow, very slow and times pedestrain; no ac; 3rd class ticket, constant cloud of smoke and people just staring at me throughout; wooden seats packed like sardines, with zero chance of sleep; the 2nd Class sleeper was luxury!!! :)

You would have to pay me good amount to do this challenge. Even as a South Asian myself. Hell no! Even for a thousand pound I wouldn’t waste 30hrs on a train like that!

Bro take premium train in India while traveling.I don't know what is it that you guys want to prove your point that is so wrong. What pleasure do you get.

I took the 3 days train (70 hours) from Delhi to Trivandrum (deep south), non airco second class. Enjoyed it, no problems. Took the topbed ( so you can lay down during the daytime if u like) stand in the open door watching small village life. it was in 1987. Still a good memory.

I’ve binged loads of your videos, but this is my absolute favourite!! Just incredible filmmaking, Ben - I felt like I was there!! Keep doing what you do, fella - just brilliant content! Oh and Kat is an absolute gem! 👏👏😎

30 h is too long. I couldn't do it. Rather like she said - fly there directly.

lol travelling in India by sleeper class train that also for 30 hrs ? thats madness even for me , so for foreigner I wouldn't recommend that at all . If you want to travel via train please book second ac compartment minimum

Great vid brings back memories I'm 46 now and want to go back to India. Next vid try 30 hours on a 3rd class none sleeper.

Mates it's fantastic in Indian trains but you should have opted for a First class AC coach which is super levish for you guys.

Squat toilets are the best, you dont have to touch anything when you sit and your body is designed to plop more at 45 degree 😅

You should have travelled by Rajdhani or Vande Bharat

* the best is when your there in the hot season (April /May +46 ) in the desert 🐪, get food poisoning & then take the cheapest hard seat +30 hr train while hallucinating

If two sleep on a bed that one is suppose to sleep on, of course it’ll be uncomfortable. I feel bad for the family sharing the compartment with you guys, having to deal with the overcrowding you’re causing.

Bread Pies 😂 I thought my train from Budapest to Rome was stuffy but this is madness.

🎉🎉🎉 Kay is definitely a trooper 😊. Thank you Ben for another great video today. Blessings, Carlos

When he said he was from england they all looked disappointed 😂

Why does it look like you were trying to get into trouble? Even the hotel at the end for 60-70 looks like 20 pound hotel at max. You've got 10 different websites including Airbnb and Booking to look at before booking and this is what you book? You said it was 2nd class sleeper train though it clearly was 3rd class compartment. Either you are not even trying to get things better or you suck at travelling.

Hello Ben! I am an Israeli guy who had backpacked around India in 2015, 2018 and 2022 covering the entire country. I just want to say one thing to you guys: If you showing India through your videos please try to visit all the parts atleast once. Look what I know of India is it has many shortcomings but overall the country is just amazing with such an insane diversity in its geography. The regions of India vary to such an extent with Snow capped ethereal mountains aka the himalayas in the North, vast desert in Northwest, amazing plateaus in the Central region, beautiful sea coasts and tropical backwaters in the far south and mangrove forests in the east. Apart from the geography, India has such a wide variety of wildlife species many of them endangered like Royal Bengal Tigers, Rhinos, Red Panda, Snow Leopard,etc. The country has literally hundreds of different ethnic groups with languages, cultures widely different from each other for example a person of Kashmir looks completely different to a person from Kerala and both of them are again different from a Northeast Indian. Now there are many here who will take an oppurtunity to bash and stereotype India even if you have admired India mostly in the video. So that is not fair. Therefore I have an earnest request to you to please visit Northwest India ( Kashmir- Gulmarg, Pehelgam, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh- Manali, Shimla, Dharamsala, Rishikesh) Northeast India ( Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland) Kerala, Goa, Hampi, Ellora, Madurai, Oooty, Munnar, Doodhsagar. I gurantee you guys Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh as beautiful as China. Kashmir is as wonderful as Eastern Europe with its mountains. Ladakh will seem as some other wordly place. Look I am just recommending this places to you because these are the true gems which are unexplored by many tourists. They fail to get their true rewards of visting India and gets the worst aka the Golden Triangle of Delhi, Varanasi and Agra which is literally shit. The true diversity and beauty of India lies in its remote regions. There are numerous forests and wildlife reserves with a vast array of exotic species. Moreover sadly you visited Hyderabad just because it is famous, you missed the city of Vizag which is near to Hyderabad and completely resembles a western European city in cleanliness, roads and infrastructure+ it is near the sea coast. Greetings!!!

2 scotts 1 portugeese and 1 pomy

That snoring was next level, sounds like a fkin tiger in the room with you 😂

You choose the class why not first AC sleeper class you booked??

Haha looks brutal. Shame you didn't try one of the "fanny bottle" the guy kept saying 😂😂

Sorry Ben, but that sleep train is too high class for me! But, thanks for riding the sleep train for me! Next time, can we go First class, you know, just to see how it is? 🙄🙄

I have, I also took a government bus from Lakshman Jhula to Jaipur. Lights were on all night, constant stops, and bumpy as hell. Great memories! Cheers from California!

you guys made it difficult for yourself and are trying to ridicule India. Unsubscribing.

That still looks better than Bolan mail 😂

Why bother taking such train just for content? Madness. Am sure these sleeper for one person per bed. You needed to book 4 beds. Wasting 30hrs on a single bed sleeper 3rd class looking. Am sure they have better sleeper trains

Bro is on budget.....do a 2$ hotel room video in your next video. I guess, thats according to your aukaat(capacity)🌚

These snorers always take about 10 seconds to fall asleep.

The face on backpacker Ben after the night of not sleeping was like a scene from the shining 🤣😊

Its 3rd class AC not 2nd class AC

At this rate, Back Packer Ben will be making these sleeper trains and buses his new home lol 😅

brilliant snoring. I am convinced the seller kept saying Fanny Water which is even funnier

This is the definition of insanity! 30h train vs 2h flight... If you have unlimited time and a super tight budget, maybe, if not, it's just a waste of time and money! What did you gain from this 26h shitshow? 🤣🤣🤣 btw I have been in India 10+ times...

This is the third AC coach mate, you should have opted for the first AC or Second AC coach which is more specious and less crowded. Yes toilets are bad for long journeys.

Kats face when you were like “Bread Pie??!” had me in tears. BREAKFAST BEN! BREAKFAST!! 😂😂😂😂

4:49 I love how Kat is also doing the indian headshake, why do they even do this😂

MF go to good places we have good trains also if u have money travel in those trains

"Worst train in India"??? In the overcrowding did you get pasted and plastered with scat and slops

18:05 😂😂😂 I very rarely watch KZfaq videos twice, but I had to rewatch this one. Comedy gold.

India is down BAD right now.

This could be the funniest video on youtube possibly. The audio is hilarious

Wouldn’t trust Indian food probably spend the entire with Deli belly

when did you record

In November 2011 we took the sleeper train Ahmedebad to Nainital, 2AC, took 22 hours and there was mice running through the carriage, climbing in our boots so we tied the boots to the lamp on the ceiling. Great fun, jumping off to buy samosas - great way to see the country and meet locals.

70 pound for that room!!! Scam!!!!

15:56 I shit you not, I actually farted right at this moment lolol

Your videos never disappoint, what disappoints is the things you shoot! Thanks a lot for sharing, really great job! 👍🤩👏

Dude that's third AC not second AC. Second would be a lot more comfortable with only 4 people section as opposed to 6 or best option 1st AC 2 people cabin.

Ride the sleeper train going all across Russia mate. Can't wait to see!

The Indian train toilets look better than the African ones.

Best train vlog ever. Nearly spat out masala chai from laughing so much. 😂😂😂

Surely Can’t be as bad as your Tanzanian train 😂

By Indian railway standard, it was a decent. The trains that run through poor state like Bihar gets so crowded that you literally have to step on the bunks to get to the washroom. Ben has shown as is, not photoshopped. One has to keep in mind the pricepoint £25. If you take the 6 days Maharajah Express train in Rajasthan you pay £5030 / USD 6400. You get what you pay. Those who are too touchy about raw footage, go watch something else.

Im sorry ben but there is something so endearing and hillarious about watching you and kat suffer on these trips, 😂, you guys are great, thanks again for the epic content. 👍

As an ex 'Plymuff bey' actually from Newton Ferrers living in Canada since 1976 I must say I really enjoy your videos, I did a lot of travelling when I was young and can imagine having the same attitude to travel as you have.....you are so lucky to share some of your adventures with the lovely Cat by your side, you sure put her to the test........shes a keeper! Keep up the great work!

I would never try to leave any train to buy anything anywhere in the world, much less in India. Man, that train was too crowded for me.

Bread pies… 😂😂😂😂😂

11:00 “What the hell is that coming out of the train” hahahahaha

Dude you guy's travelled nearly 1600km in only 25£ and if any one can get 3rd class tickets then you 100%can get 1st class or 2nd class tickets because people bokk tickets from economy to 1at ac so if u can get 3rd ac you can definitely get 1st ot 2nd ac and When more than 20 million people travelling by trains on a daily basis its obviously going to very crowded And you don't have to whow these things British and America media already doing it and more effectively than you And if want chaotic experiences then enjoy why so much complaints Look india is so diverse you can see every thing thousands year old civilizational and cultural history to modern days space rockets To cleaest places to dirtiest ones So its up to you what is your priority what you want to see what you want to experience

sadly I think my snoring would have woken up that guy lol

As a BRIT IVE NEVER EATEN TRAIN OR STREET FOOOOD, AND I'M OF INDIAN ORIGIN AND A BRUMMY
