Is India the worst destination for travel tourism?

Would maybe like to see jamia masjid area in Delhi, Muhammad Ali road in Mumbai and chaar minar in Hyderabad.

Based on the travel vlogs I have seen, it seems like there’s a lot of chaos, pollution, scams etc in most of ind. My interest in visiting has actually diminished with time. The negative propaganda against ind on social media doesn’t help.
 
I have an itinerary planned.

I would like to visit some ancestral lands and look out some plots for when we take over in the future.

I will also lay flowers at Mughal tombs.

Few other activities planned but will share if a visit ever becomes likely.

I like to remember the Delhi Sultans too like Aibak, Balban, Iltutmish. History is fun and so important to not forget lol

I think India is the worst country to visit in Asia.

There are scammers, rapists, and sanghi extremists.

Better to visit other Asian countries. :inti

In Asia I have travelled across Pakistan of course and also been to Maldives, Malaysia, Turkey (most of it is in Asia) and some middle east . Out of these I wouldn’t go to Maldives again it was boring. Rest all were great and worth visiting again.

As I mentioned, in India, I wanna see Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad

Old school ind cities I’d maybe like to visit would be Bhopal and Nagpur.

I also believe in the indo-gangetic
connection so travelling along the GT road could be fun too.
 
India isn’t the worst place to travel, it’s home to breathtaking historical sites found nowhere else, vibrant culture, and some of the richest, most colorful cuisine on Earth. Every aspect of the land itself is beautiful, it’s just today’s citizens of India who seem determined to ruin the experience.

Maldives was boring? Wow! People generally say good things about Maldives. Many beautiful beaches there I believe.

Nice. May your trip go well.

It’s all islands so I felt stuck at the resort. You can say I planned it poorly.

If I were to go again I would go to Male’ the capital. Their language’s script is very similar to Arabic which is interesting. I would like to get more of a cultural experience which is my thing.
 
Visas still not open for Pakistanis which is a shame. So many people have genuine needs to go. Family, education, religious and medical reasons.

And vice versa I am sure visas not open for Indians citizens either at this time. Common people are suffering.
 
Yes. I think India is terrible for tourism. :inti

If you want to tour Asia, why go to India? You can go to Maldives, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bhutan etc.
 
Every South Asian country has the same challenges of not being first world, dirty, polluted, bad infrastructure, lack of tourist friendly stuff, very poor digital infrastructure, banking restrictions , scams and safety risk to women.

Pakistan and present day Bangladesh has the added risk of Islamic terrorists who has and can attack foreign tourist specially non muslims. These same terrorists are pushed into India to target Indians and foreigners but it has been dominated at a huge cost.

So all the stories you hear online are true but still a miniscule portion of the tourists visiting India. Only the vocal minority will go ahead and make these claims publicly. Same goes as Mexico and Colombia being drug capital and cartel land etc. There is truth in it and as Indian forget forumiegners even Indian women are not safe.

But India is perfectly ok to visit if you take the following common sense precautions


Don't trust strangers
Go in groups
If possible have a trusted local tour manager.
Avoid secluded off beat areas
Dress modestly
Stay in reputed hotels and eat in reputed restaurants.
Be careful where you go at night...avoid too many clubs or get drunk unless you are with trusted people and have transportation.

Most of the mishaps happen in shady hotels or when tourists go with strangers to secluded areas. If you go on bike safari in Bihar or UP hinterlands or the Haryana villages...you are calling trouble... forget tourist women..even Indian women or Indian men are not safe in those areas. Common sense goes a long way in protecting your self

However that does not change the fact that our society is hostile and lack civic sense...we are backward country with crumbling infrastructure where two worlds collide...the affluent 300 millions Indians who live in gated highrises and travel in cars and the 1.3 billion others....the world's collide when they can't avoid traffic jam sewage issues pollution and general infrastructure outside the gated community.
 
Both backpacker ben and bald & bankrupt have revisted india after 1 yr, thr travels ended in the same way as last yr:

I think there are only 4 countries worth visiting in South Asia. It is worthwhile to spend your hard earned money there.

Maldives, Pakistan, Bhutan, and Nepal.

That's it. :inti

I have heard SL is good value for money. Clean and safe too.

Me, I’d like to visit BD and Ind too for the cultural experience.

Bangladesh is good if you are looking for good hospitality and good food. But, it is super-crowded. If you hate crowds, you may hate it. LOL.

SL is okay I guess but you can get the same experience in Maldives and Bhutan which I think are more stunning.

I think India is the worst country you can visit as a tourist in South Asia. Many rape incidents involving foreigners. Rude people. Dirty.

All other South Asian countries are better for tourism. From those, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Bhutan are probably the best. :inti

If I have to pick one South Asian country to visit as a tourist, I would probably pick Maldives.

i thin its just that most other countries has improved,but due tthe large indian population and infrastructure it looks like india hasnt, esecially when it comes to thr roads and trains

as most ppl have stated that the hotels have improved especially around $30 a night hotels

India has improved too but you got to be kidding me if as a westerner you pay 100 for motel6 and 150-250 for Hilton class of hotel and expect similar service at 30 dollars and then complain. India has a low cost budget and mid to high level hotels. Mid to high level hotels cost 60-80 dollars for equivalent service at 150-250 hotels in West. For example JW Marriott in my city is 80 dollar per night..same class of hotel in us is 500 to 600.30 dollars are basic hotels where Indians are comfortable with basic necessities but a western person will not be...then pay more.

I am more worried about safety crassness dirtiness and assaulting women which gives a bad name to the country.

many of these western tourists are complaining about most people hike the prices at every oppotunity - they then get referred to a guide, which these western tourists dont like when it comes to cities, they need them when they go to mountain areas.


Hence thrs a big trend on Youtube, they prefer Pakistan
 
As a tourist, I certainly have no desire to get ripped off by locals, get diarrhea or a stomach bug, grapple with mass pollution and lack of hygiene, and fear for women if I am travelling with them. Btw, these same factors also apply to Pakistan and Bangladesh, since you think I am being biased specifically towards India. The sub-continent is one of the worst places on the planet for a wide-variety of reasons. And this will become even more evident in the coming years when climate change rips this region apart.

The only appeal of visiting India for me is to see the historical sites and monuments.
This is the sad but true reality. Pak is not a safe place for women either. I don’t think female international tourists in Pak would feel safe using public transport for example.

And environmental factors are really going to bring down quality of life in subcontinent even more. For rich and poor alike.

You should first provide a link for Pakistani single tourists, when I go to Rishikesh there are literally foreign women learning some random yoga same in Kerala.

Now go search again in your feed

Naw you need to prove the tourist numbers first of both countries and then go about it.
nooo oobaid needs to provide facts - as his statement has nothing to do with your post:

his statement is below:

Tourists leave India temple town after gang rape-murder​



Hundreds of foreign tourists have left a Unesco heritage site in southern India in the past few days after two women - an Israeli tourist and an Indian homestay owner - were gang-raped and a man was murdered.

These YTers are definitely trying to get more views and increase revenue. Probably funded by foreign intelligence agencies as well.

What's more surprising is how did these guys get into our country past Intelligence Bureau?

When these YTers would have made the first criticism video in India , criticising India, at that time, IB would have immediately flagged them.

The fact that they can get into the India again and do the same criticism, means IB is either purposely allowing this to happen which also means IB is okay for India and Indians world over to get negative reputation.

Likely, RAW is pulling the strings then and IB is fine with it, which means the main aim is to push the Indian govt and people to do something about the cleanliness of the country.

You think that’s the criteria for getting into google?
You clearly are way more clueless than i thought, degrees are least of the concern for getting a google interview.

Insane I didn’t think you were thag clueless but just trolling..

OMG, getting past your Intelligence Bureau...... why you crying over a tourist opinion, he documented everything and showed you the things wrong, mainly hygeine and constant poor business - getting ripped off


@sweep_shot - when your free watch the video and see if backpacker benn was incorrect to make those comments

Are you just mad that thrs no one on youtube creating thr bad experiences about Pakistan.....


cmon man stop whinging and crying .... lets stay on topic

Criticism is not a big deal?

Because of these videos huge amount of tourism gets affected which results in tremendous revenue loss. There are lot of hardworking Indians in the tourism industry who do want people from high income nations to come and visit India.

Not to mention the global damage to India and Indians reputation it's doing -

'Pajeets' , 'Dirty Indians' , 'Poopjeets' , 'Smelly Indians' , are quite destructive negative stereotypes.

There are many Indians who do think cleanliness is quite important and want the nation clean.

Not all Indians are into cow dung usage or bathing in unclean river waters or worship of nature, which is already tempered and unhygienic.

Intelligence agencies not only know this but most of the reputation orchestration is under their hands.

You are one of the very few sensible Indians here. :inti

It is refreshing to see an Indian showing self-reflection instead of doing whataboutism. Sanghis can learn from you.
 

Taxi Driver Tried to Scam and Threaten Me in Kolkata​






So many of these scam tourist videos in india, this taxi guy threatens the american tourist - yet the the indian cabbie fault
 
I have an itinerary planned.

I would like to visit some ancestral lands and look out some plots for when we take over in the future.

I will also lay flowers at Mughal tombs.

Few other activities planned but will share if a visit ever becomes likely.
Especially at Aurangzeb’s tomb for me DV bhai.

India REALLY Sucks ! Never Come Here Indeed​





He really hated India

Tourists need to stop visiting India.

Full of scammers, rapists, and generally rude people.

I see a lot of travel vlogs on YouTube and India get some of the worst reviews from tourists. :inti

One wonder why moderators here allow such blatant generalization of a country. This place is becoming unbearable for Indians. Time is not far when only certain Indian posters who likes suck up will left here.

If India is full of scammer and rapists, why millions of Bangladeshis cross the border illegally? Did your sister knew Indians are rapists before moving there?
 
Especially at Aurangzeb’s tomb for me DV bhai.
You'll be disappointed. I've been to his tomb in Aurangabad. Utterly nondescript place. The imitation Taj Mahal (Bibi ka Maqbara) he built for his wife's tomb is worth a visit but still pretty crappy compared to the kind of stuff his predecessors built.

I have already drastically reduced the number of posts and my time I spend here. All thanks to @MenInG stepping down and handing over the responsibilities to a few .... if you know what I mean.​
 
@finalfantasy7 we do not usually allow frequent YT videos from random sources. Please do not spread hate. Similar could be found from other vloggers about Pakistan, Bangladesh, and other nations.

let PP be a peaceful and unbiased place for people to discuss their opinions without derailing threads.

@Ball Blazer - please dont blame me
