Why Don't More Tourists Come Here?? Visiting India's North East!!
I've spent the last three months traveling throughout India seeing beautiful sights and meeting amazing people but in this video I'm visiting a part of the country I didn't even know existed until it was recommended to me by you guys in the comments this is Assam in India's often unfortunately forgotten Northeast home to cultures Traditions people full of that same incredible hospitality and personality that make up the tapestry of this wonderful country after learning more about the region and with my Visa fast running out I had to make my way to this part of the world to have an Assamese experience for myself I arrived in the airport in the largest city guwahati and immediately felt the incredible warmth of the locals buy a car to our hotel in the middle of town waking up the next day to meet our new friends family members of one of my YouTube channel members who were there to show us this beautiful place they call from where are we headed first we'll go to the perfect thank you [Music] can you tell me what it's called again what's this Hillary okay so we're at at the top where this Temple is this is so different to anything that we've seen anywhere else in India this is crazy there's all these red materials or dress there's lots of red does it mean yeah yeah okay all right so we are heading into the temple area I don't know if I was meant to do that but I saw them do it so I did it first we need to wash our feet there are lots of people today oh it's a goat I am I I actually have seen your videos so we watch our feet here yeah oh so we're coming down these stairs and there's like a water fountain okay thank you I'll show you Josie lifts things it's hard thank you okay now I'm not sure what it is but I've been recognized here more in Assam than almost anywhere else we've been in India I can't is that it yeah you got it they are waiting to go inside the temple from the early morning they're waiting from the morning yeah from since I think in the morning yeah yeah okay so this is the one to get in okay cameras on the web okay I'm gonna turn it off I'll see you in a second so this is like like a sense stick yeah [Music] it's fine it's fine oh my there's so much fire what do I do with it oh you probably like it so now we have made our wish and we're gonna put these in the sand yeah asaki okay okay yeah you can share from here like this yeah yeah yeah [Music] with all of this fire and offerings everywhere it is about 20 degrees hotter in here it is really warm videos is there a significance to the fire or the burning or is it just something that negative energy yeah it gives us positive energy oh hi how are you that's good do you want to be your eyes okay hello thank you so much lovely to meet you the lion has tea cups look at all the pigeons I have lots of things to wish for so that's good I tried I'm gonna wished oh yeah like yeah I don't think it'll fit I have fat um oh yeah oh okay it's a gift from us okay no no no no no please please only this okay thank you thank you thank you so she was telling me that this is where they celebrate menstruation and like we have the power to give birth and have children and give life and everything like that so that's celebrated here which I think is really cool I think we I think us women need a little bit of recognition for doing that and they bought me as a gift my little bangle all right we are getting in the car to head for tea which you know I'm excited for inside of the temple there is a stone carved in a Yoni shaped okay a story waiting to see the uni so here's a Viewpoint where you can see basically all of guwahati wow to the very top of that hill over there I don't think you can see it but it's a little bit sparse of trees and it just looks so pretty when we went in monar was famous for tea our Sam is also famous for tea or sa all right we found a place to have tea tea oh here this was my favorite part of the day okay oh there's so many different types yeah which one do you want I like just like milk chai yeah yeah oh okay what's up it's 100 total hundred four piece 20. thank you oh yeah all right that's good oh thank you all right it's super hot chai in the clay cups oh it's spicy yeah it's spicy one that's super spicy type that's probably there's a few things that we've missed like I want to go to ladakh so we're gonna have to come back you have to come back but I need to learn to ride first Just Surrender bike take her on the back that's the best yeah that's what I want to do yeah Michael can you write Okay so we've just stopped here at just like a Viewpoint and they just said that they come and hang out and then we've sent to people hanging out back there so it must be true but it's a beautiful view to come and have a look at this like River um apparently they said it's one of like the top 15 biggest or longest rivers or something and it goes all the way down through Bangladesh into the Indian Ocean so that's pretty crazy kind of looks like long prabung a little bit it does it reminds you in Southeast Asia up there was the the governor's house right on that one over there okay to be on the way now for summer in Tech you can get them anywhere yeah right but we're doing the ones from Assam which is cool because um that's what we wanted to do and now we get to go with someone local who actually knows what the food's about right we are now out and we are on the hunt for some lunch let's see what they have in this one oh a restaurant that's what it says for five of us and extra chicken or anything you want perfect okay thank you do you go here all the time it's just like a local place one of the best okay we like the best well it smells good oh Papa's yeah oh they're my favorite I love them papaya chicken koregaon the name of the restaurant is also Korea oh it's the name after this with which system Sesame yeah mixed veggies I like pumpkin so I have no idea what to do but everyone's putting there like their things off the brass plate and then we're using the brass plate to mix with the hands in the rice so we're gonna we're gonna copy that it is it's actually probably going to be hard to do dolls this one like Paul yeah the sort of just group of your hands to get it in your mouth is a little bit foreign to me at the moment we're getting there with some practice this one is the pumpkin I love puppies it's just my bed it's just a mess yeah that's good thank you so this is the chicken that the shop is named after that's really good yeah something you should have done more often rice pudding and this is probably my favorite it's so sweet it's a little bit warm still and it's taking that like a little bit of spice I got from one of the dolls I think out of my mouth this is an assames we call soft sauce sorry better digestion yeah so this is the fennel seeds in English so it helps better digestion in a mouth freshener like a mint a natural mint thank you thank you hi hello there's a lot of people in this cable cars are you scared so this one is the smallest River Island and there's a temple on it and everyone's just like lined up that wasn't that long it was only a couple minutes over the littlest Island and then into this one you got it oh thank you Australia Australia thank you very nice very nice nice to meet you thank you this is kohati and we're on the North we're in North now okay I go so we're now on the north side of guwahati and then we've got the mainland over there where we came from um so we're just going to have a little little walk around but it looks very like Lush and green monkey where team oh I'm gonna grab my stuff no no he's fine all right we just came across a quick look around just a walk down the street and then we're gonna head to main guahari on the cable car again but we just have to wait for them to come back to get us so we can go back across thank you okay so we are back in the main city the main part we just got off the ropeway um the guwahati ropeway so we're gonna have a little sit here and just admire the view for a second we haven't really seen anything like this in the rest of India at all like the Northeast is

of my favorite places in all my travels the northeast of India but happy it promises me to one day come back during the bihu festival to hang out with the family and to dive deeper into this interesting culture and its people Assam is unique a mixture of Southeast Asian and Indian cultures Cuisines and nature it was as I said goodbye to these lovely girls that it really hit me this is what India truly is at its core coming together of cultures religions languages and history intertwined by common factors such as Hospitality pride and tradition and a common cause to want the best for their families and their communities as you travel around this country you too will see the vast differences that are held together by the many similarities that Prevail this is my last video in India for now I'm a traveler and I can't stay in one place forever but even though I leave India with a heavy heart I am filled with joy at the amazing and enriching experiences this country has provided me India we ate together cheered together drink try together and laughed together the memories I will take from my time here are some of my most cherished this isn't goodbye it's a see you later as I know I'll be back again and again to get another taste of one of the most incredible places to visit in the foreign massive fish in there
