Return to India! My First Day in Bangalore (Bengaluru) 🇮🇳

On my third visit to India, I'm starting my trip in Bangalore (Bengaluru), getting a taste for the south of the country. I share my first day in this huge city, trying Dosa at MTR, venturing to an incredible flower market, all before heading to Cubbon Park and a well-known food street at night.

I'm Jason, a full-time British Travel Vlogger and YouTuber who's been to 60 countries. I've been travelling around the world full-time since 2017.

I have travel series' from many of the world's best (and least) known destinations. I filmed the first vlogs on my channel in the summer of 2016 after spending a year living in China. A proper solo trip around Eastern Europe followed after graduating from University in the summer of 2017, taking me to Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Kosovo. This marked the start of my efforts to turn vlogging into a full-time job.

After that European trip I explored much of Asia: visiting India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea and Kazakhstan.

I have also travelled to North Africa and the Middle East fairly extensively over the last five years, filming videos in Turkey, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Israel and Palestine.

I've travelled to North America just once as a YouTuber, visiting Mexico in 2021. Though I have been to both the USA and Canada, this was as a child on family holidays.

In 2022, I took my first trip to Sub Saharan Africa, visiting Kenya and Tanzania, before heading to the Middle East, stopping in Dubai and Lebanon. Europe followed, covering both the Greek and Turkish sides of Cyprus, and afterwards going back to Italy for the second time to cover Milan and Sicily. I then visited the Caribbean for the first time, covering the Dominican Republic, before heading to both Brussels and Amsterdam, then covering Taiwan and the Philippines in Asia. I finished off the year with a trip around Morocco.

I started my travels in 2023 by finally visiting Paris, taking the Eurostar from London. I then headed over to Qatar for a few days, before heading to the south of India.

Hi from think India is a nice place with rich culture and nice ppl to like being in melti safe Jason 😁

[manyaganapathy]

It's so lovely to see you exploring Bangalore! I've lived here my whole life- so this may be a biased opinion, but the city has so much to offer in terms of history, food, culture and more. If you're still in the city, or for whoever's reading this comment, i recommend visiting Malleshwaram [north bangalore]. The neighbourhood has amazing temples- some over 2000 years old! There are a couple books online about the history of Malleshwaram, and Bangalore in general, so i would highly recommend checking those out.

Safe travels! looking forward to seeing more of your adventures:)

This was a great video Jason you did a great job in letting us know how the real traditional India is.
The flower mkt. Really beautiful. Thank so much and great to see you back in India. Peace to you

I love your videos, India is a beautiful place with a rich culture. Thank you for showing those of us that beautiful country is so far away.

Jason! Bengaluru traffic reminds me of years ago when I was in Ho Chi Min City, attempting to cross the street, having a panic attack 😮 Watching you undaunted, I’m starting to think maybe I’m done! Perhaps traveling like you are is over for me forever and is for the young! I get a vicarious thrill out of watching you brave it all and roll with it smiling. Good for you. Be safe. Be well. ❤

Thank you for asking about the audio quality. I vote for the external mic. It is very muffled with the GoPro one way mic. Thanks for taking us to India. I work and live around many people from India and love seeing their homeland.

I just visited in Bengaluru few weeks ago and also continued to Mysuru from there (and then to Ooty to take the Nilgiri Mountain Railway). This video made me miss Bengaluru so much! Loved the city and the vibes there!

[atheist-peace]

Good to see you again!!! Btw the microphone is not as good when filming ahead but it's fine.
Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures!
Big hug from Montréal Canada! 🤗🙋

The essence of this beautiful flower market, Karnataka felt so authentic. Great video.

[RMetsy]

Welcome to India from a British Indian. I remember watching your first videos from Kenya. Where my mum's from. Have a great time mate

[takuan]

For me personally India was always the best Country to come home from.

[missmia]

Fantastic. Very interesting city. Would like to visit one day. Thanks Jason for taking us on the trip with you virtually

[maggiemondo]

This looks exciting, Jason. Am planning a holiday to India myself so looking for some tips on how to stay safe, especially food wise. Don't want any tummy trouble! Can you make some accommodation recommendations too please.

[patriciafuchs]

Traffic seems very loud and dense! Very interesting regarding name changes and how it’s harder than it sounds. Old habits die hard.
That dosa looks good, the coffee…. WOW.
Love the music as you rode to the market. That market is amazing! I have never seen the like or flowers sold without stems! So many people.
The noise level is so much easier on the ears. I am enjoying the decreased background noise. I can hear you fine. Lovely park, incredibly busy city! Indian street food looks wonderful! Thank you!

[ajaymuj]

You came directly to bengaluru. I am from bengaluru. Following you 👍 all the best for your travels bro. But summer has started and will continue for next 3 months. so take care. Cheers 🍻

[CultureDrift]

Your South Indian breakfast looks incredible! The dosa and filter coffee seem like such a treat. Have you tried any other local specialties while you’ve been there?

Great video, almost like a documentary on Bengaluru!

[abdurrahmantazin]

Hi Jason, I'm a huge fan of yours. I am originally a Bangladeshi but live in Kuwait, I have been watching your videos since before covid (watching your videos for about four or five years) and I like your videos very much. My dream is to travel the world like you, let's start this journey in the next one to one and a half years and yes, I will be very happy if I meet you sometime in my life. Blessings and love to you Jason.
