Visiting the TAJ MAHAL First Impressions Reality | Backpacking India Travel Vlog
I'm backpacking northern India as a female traveller and we're at the end of our trip - we've been to Delhi, Udaipur, Pushkar, Jaipur, Ranthambore and now Agra! We ticked off a wonder of the world and a UNESCO world heritage site by visiting the Taj Mahal which has been on my bucket list for years.
This is my first impressions and also the reality of visiting the Taj Mahal in 2024, as well as trying authentic local Indian street food!
This video was filmed in February 2024 🇮🇳

    BEWARE! UK immigration has been raiding hostels in London. Volunteering or working at a hostel without the right visa and sponser (which most hostels will not pay) is illegal! My daughter is a US citizen who is awaiting deportation at a horrible removal prison called Yarls Wood. She committed no crime. They can hold you indefiniately, no court, no appeal, and the embassy cant engage. Please I urge you to check carefully with immigration because the hostels and hosts are likely not following law. Please say a prayer for the safe return of my daughter.

    The lake district is much better and more vibrant. Loch lomond shores is full of shops and activities that are either closed, or are about to close. The aquarium is really really poor. The steam ship is not operational. Balloch and Alexandria are a bloody Eyesore. Compared to Ambleside,Keswick and windermere. Blame the local authority. For not looking after this potential jewel.

    Agra is basically only worth it for the Taj Mahal. Otherwise don't even bother staying there for more than one day. Mumbai, Kerala on the south, Laddakh, Dharmashala in the far north, Northeastern States of fhe Seven Sisters are pretty as well, famous for natura beauty. Shimla or Kashmir for the snow. Rajasthan for palaces, forts, culture, and lot of history. These are the recommended places. If you're into Yoga then Rushikesh, which is famous for spiritual stuff. Delhi is only worth it if you're not going to stereotypical places like Chandni Chawk and Old Delhi, ( don't go there, very old, dirty and chaotic, not for tourism) South delhi is very nice, very affluent area of the city. Goa is a party destination for beach lovers. There are also beaches in Mumbai.

    I think that choosing Cairns as your location was where I think things may have gone wrong for you. My neighbour from when I was a kid has been living in Australia since 2016 and said Cairns is a no go due to there being no job opportunities and a homelessness crisis. It's crazy because you wouldn't think that through looking at images of it online.

    • @AnnaJoan
      @AnnaJoan 27 днів тому

      I was definitely a bit surprised at the vibes of Cairns and I agree because that's where a lot of backpackers end their routes - including me. It's also a daunting prospect of choosing somewhere else to go and then possibly not being able to find work there either! Sad that a year on and I'm hearing the same things about unemployment and rent crises in Sydney and Melbourne too.

      @@AnnaJoan You are definitely right on that. I'm planning on possibly making a move to AUS within the next year or two and I've been told not to judge places based on the images you see online. I would have never had guessed Cairns had the unemployment and homelessness crisis levels given the videos and images of the place online! Much different to the UK where we can tell whether a place is a dump or not through images very easily 😂
