How was your experience at a rural station?

[lonewolf]

It's awesome to see people like that older gentleman exited to see Karl and be happy to share his culture.

[hoppes]

11:00 Look how that old man gave greetings to a stranger. That's our culture

Hey Karl, RPF actually stands for Railways Protection Force, they are an arm of the police specially designated to railway stns.

Hey Karl.
I am currently traveling the north of India for a couple of months and man your videos were helpful to me. I watched a lot of them. Thank you so much for your work ❤

[TwoMadExplorers]

Fantastic video as always Karl! Very useful information for upcoming train trips 🚂 🇮🇳

[Pfaltzgraf]

Greetings from Finland. I’ve watched many of your videos and I want to thank you. They are informative and interesting to watch. One can see a glimpse of India, even if one is not going to travel himself. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻

[awesome]

Love all your videos. Thanks for showing all the greatness of India!

Karl, THE tourist ambassador of INDIA.

We recently travelled 9 hours on the train from Kolkata north to Jamalpur. Seats one way and sleeper on the way back. 9 hours was as long as I would do in seats. The overnight sleeper was very good. You sleep in your clothes but you get blankets and pillows. Quite comfortable actually. We all locked our bags and padlocked them the to the bunk under blankets. If you are starting from a decent hotel I recommend asking your hotel if they can make up a food parcel for the trip. Some trains have an Indian style WC at one end and Western style WC at the other. You often get approached by people when out and about in India. Frequently they want to sell you something but you do also get people who are just curious to know where you are from. The trick is working out which they are. Personally I'd steer clear of the dogs (fleas). For some trips a taxi is a good idea. We took one from Delhi Airport to Agra, a trip of about 3 hours. If you are in a small group to share the cost its a lot more convenient than going into Delhi to get the train.

Hey Karl! Hope you visit Tamil Nadu and Southern Andhra Pradesh one day. You’ll love the unique foods here! Especially in the villages!

[starsourcer]

Awesome to see you! Great video and how cool is this to experience. Thank you! xo

[ChessNooob]

Karl you missed the most important app for train travel, that is Rail Yatri, you can track live location of the train, as well as all the details regarding halt time at each stations as well, also you can order food from the app as well

[MrSomethingElse]

cuz, so happy you get to do this so I can sit back in aotearoa and watch! Namaste bro. Ram Ram my māori!

[darrensoames]

Love that you show us the real India, it’s still stunning but without the tourists filter

[mungomunro]

Yeah. I have to add my tuppence worth of appreciation for your vids. I'm having thoughts of a trip over myself, so it was very informative.
Thanks for that mate!

[barrydevonshire]

Great vid Karl. A big improvement from when I travelled on the train in the 1980s. I have also travelled on the trains in Thailand 😊

[toilography]

Thanks for the toilet tour - that was unexpected and super interesting!

[russfranck]
