*This was filmed in the beginning of February when I spent a week in Delhi – spoiler alert: I DIDN’T HATE IT!!! I stayed in a 16 bed hostel dorm room (budget travel 💁♀️) where I could work at many different cafes and I was even able to sign up at a gym for a week which was also a really positive experience!*
I started my first day exploring Delhi by calling an Uber to take me up to Old Delhi. The first thing I noticed as soon as I got out of the uber was traffic was CRAZY! Luckily I could pass under the street to get to the Red Fort instead of trying to cross it alone. When I got to the Red Fort I was approached by a tour guide who offered me a tour. Usually I don’t sign up for tours, but I felt like it would be a good idea in Old Delhi as it really is very chaotic! He started by telling me about the Red Fort before escorting me across the crazy street and jumping into a bicycle rickshaw to drive us down Chandni Chowk. At the end of Chandni Chowk we explored the world’s largest spice market! It was fun to do with the guide as he took me upstairs and to many places that I wouldn’t have seen on my own! We then continued exploring Chandni Chowk Market where we I tried some cinnamon, my first Jalebi dessert, and got to explore the old Naughara Gali alley. He then took me around some of the crazy old alleys that Old Delhi is known for. We then went to Jama Masjid – the largest mosque in India. After leaving the mosque my tour ended and I headed to the Lal Quila Delhi Metro to try to use it to get to my next location. The metro was amazing!! So clean and I felt very safe even as a solo female in India. I had to transfer on two different metro trains and it was so easy to do! I then arrived at Connaught Place. The architecture there is amazing! I also got a rose for Rose Day, explored the park in the center, and saw a street concert. When I left Connaught Place I just back on the metro to check out Khan Market – another fancy area full of nice stores, restaurants, and bars. After that I headed home.
I stared the next day by trying to take a bus in Delhi as it’s so cool that buses are free for women! However after waiting over 30 minutes I gave up and took an auto to Humayun’s Tomb. This is such an amazing place that you shouldn’t miss in Delhi!! There were so many tombs to explore inside the complex and it was a really nice escape from the chaotic streets! When I left Humayun’s Tomb I jumped in another auto to Safdarjung’s Tomb – also a really peaceful place in the middle of the city! From there I met up with a friend I met in yoga school in Rishikesh and we went to the Lodhi Gardens. They’re amazing free gardens in the middle of Delhi! I loved it there! When we left the gardens we drove through Lodhi Colony to see the graffiti. We also drove by India Gate which was PACKED on a Friday night.
Despite the craziness of Old Delhi, I really enjoyed the time I spent there!! There are a lot of positive things in the city (the parks, metro, tombs) and there is so much to see and do!

Hello maam..

Very good content
Hello my friend Visit to Gujarat and Can we meet and we will together go for a ride on my bike and explore other places ..I’m serious person Dear
If u want to see haven u should go indian village
กลับจากอินเดียแล้วมาเที่ยวไทย นะครับ เรายินดีต้อนรับ
Okay, I'll be honest Natalie. There's nothing much to see in Delhi except few places like India Gate , Qutub minar n all. Also you will find more dirt, pollution and unhygienic conditions in Delhi. You can consider other places of India like North side includes Leh, Ladakh, Jammu and North-eastern sides like Arunachal Pradesh
Assam
Manipur
Meghalaya
Mizoram
Nagaland
Tripura
Sikkim. The north-east ones are beautiful with scenery and you won't regret going there.
I don't understand why people visit these places after being to Shimla and other beautiful cities. Delhi is one of the worst and unsafe cities for solo travelling imo. You must be so brave lol, I could never
Nice vlog, very interesting journey to Dehli, looks a fascinating place indeed. 👍🥰👍
Winters is the best time to be in delhi and if its sunny day, its very calming to visit the mausoleums with their parks.
After so long …😢
有中文字幕，我爱死。油管上中国人很少，大多都不标中文😢。希望有时间来中国玩❤❤❤❤
Why does your accent sometimes sound like that of Australians ?😐
Fools criticise Delhi unnecessarily. Delhi is always most important place
It is full of World Heritage Monuments
Natalie you didn't visit Qutub Minar, , Old Fort Delhi
Delhi I avoid except to go to airport. It’s got some history though.
Wow!!! Super interesting tour. So much to see in Delhi…..the spice market and tiny narrow streets were very interesting, but with so many people there, I’m not sure I would have liked it. I really liked the historic tombs and the beautifully laid out gardens and parks. I bet they are a ton of vibrant color in the summer. Great vlog!!❤️❤️
Whenever you are in inconvenient situation you laugh like a horse 🐎 neigh hehe😂😂 always cheerful and positive 👍🏽
dude be carefull in Delhi
You forgot the amazing Lotus temple, akshardham temple, peace stupa, qutub minar etc. Also the food in Delhi is amazing! Glad you enjoyed in Delhi. Excited for puducherry vlog ❤️
Visit rajasthan its very beautiful 👍👍

There's one in Chandni Chowk and one near Rajeev Chowk.
Every first coach in the delhi metro is women only. No ogling eyes

❤❤🫶🫶
I recently discovered your channel! Loved the videos,just a suggestion upload faster i have watched the entire india series in like 2 Days. 🙏🙏
Be careful atleast take a guide or a person that you can relay on .
Wow.. finally someone vlogged Delhi like it is supposed to get vlogged. Kudos and I loved your vlog.
Usually, someone only comes to Delhi because it is kind of the hub of all travels into and out of India, so they just come for rest in between travel to other destinations. BUT, Delhi has been the capital of Indian subcontinent in one way or another for thousands of years. Its history is insane. There is so much to Delhi and while indeed Delhi can feel very rough and relentless, to a smart traveler, Delhi offers fabulous experience.
Natalie you're so beautiful and beautiful people must support trump
Make America great again
You didn't visit Tughlaqabad Fort
When i was in college we used to have a Rose Day. Guys would give red roses to girls if they want them to be their girlfriend, yellow rose is they want them to be just a friend, pink rose to say thank you for their love and affection and white rose to forget the past and make a new beginning in the relationship.
Everyone should avoid Delhi. It's a filthy place, unsafe for women, full of scammers, people here are rude and polution makes it worse. To be honest, it doesn't even deserve to be the capital of India. The huge slum called Delhi makes a bad reputation of India. I am Indian and I would suggest any domestic or foreign tourist to avoid Delhi. If you want to explore true India try visiting North -East India, South India or Northern states like Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand or Kashmir. The scenic beauty of these places are unparalleled and people there are much more civilized than rude Delhites.
Right now I am interested Delhi NCR
Nice and Adventurous❤
Some people criticise unnecessarily any city without any reason. What about gang rape in Paris
