Good morning again guys. We are back in Raipur. We woke up at 4:30 in the morning and now we're ready to go.
We're gonna head out to Bastar today and Jagdalpur.
And we're gonna go to India's largest
waterfall.
This is the Niagara Falls of India. It's is gonna be incredible. We're going to probably the most beautiful place in all of
Chattisgarh, the Bastar region.
Very beautiful and green.
Maybe the greenest place in India. Let's go find out.
So much water, man. Oh my god. This is not a submarine man. Yeah
It's like we're driving a submarine right now, the amount of water that we're driving through is just
crazy everywhere is flooded.
This is gonna be one crazy road trip.
So let's get out of Raipur. Let's get out of here and let's go and find and stop it at road side restaurant
eat some food and
Make our way to Bastar.
Someone is stuck
crazy.
The road has just been washed out. There's so much water.
We're gonna we're gonna have to turn around now
Are we gonna make it today? I don't know. Look at this. You think we can get through this? Oh, yeah. Sure
We gonna cross. Ok, let's go.
Oh my god, it's so deep guys what the hell's going on.
Move it, move it.
I was getting worried.
Maybe let's not do that again.
No more. Oh god!
It was so deep seriously. I thought it was coming in the car. It didn't yeah.
Let's hope there's no more of this cuz we have to get the Bastar.
If the road is like this imagine what India's largest waterfall is gonna be like right now.
And it's not surprising that is actually raining here because this is one of the wettest areas in all of India as well
Let's go, we're at a roadside restaurant. Let's eat some. I think parathe. Let's see what we can find.
I like parathe in the morning. Parathe and chai. The monsoon here in Chattisgarh. It's like all day long.
It's how I always imagined the monsoon even all week long. In Delhi it comes for like one or two hours only but here
Yeah, it could be all-day it's been raining since the time that I arrived here in Chhattisgarh yesterday.
It's about like 20 degrees maybe because of all the raining like the weather is perfect.
I feel like I'm back home in New Zealand. It's crazy.
Finally the paratha is here. This is breakfast.
Wow, looks good.
Ton of chili in there.
This is a good one man.
You get the best food
in these roadside restaurant, so to stop here.
And so the other thing you always need is chai, this is like a dizzy chai cup, a really really typical Indian tea cup.
Yes, good, you always get the best tea on the roadside.
On the road this guy. I don't know what they do. That's different, but it's always the best.
All right, we have refueled. We're off to Jagdalpur now and that is kind of the heart of Bastar .
We got a ton of supplies to the ride. It's gonna be a long trip.
Let's see what else happens because this has been a bit of a crazy ride so far all the flooding and the
rain, like it's seriously flooding here. So
Let's see what happens on the way something always happens when it's like this. You guys saw my video where I was at
traveling through leh and Ladakh and we had to have the army help us get us get us through a landslide.
It feels like one of those days today.
Let's find out.
We're getting further and further into the jungle here and like I said Chattisgarh have a 45 percent jungle cover and
The area are going to it's known for Naxalites, for separatists they want
kind of their own state.
And they also want more support from the government as well and then known for kidnapping and killing government
officials and even people from
Raipur are worried about going to this area that we're going to but we'll be fine and we've seen a lot of army
outposts which say like we specialize in
jungle warfare.
So because of the jungle, it's all jungle warfare with the army versus the Naxalites in this area.
Let's go, I'm getting soaked and actually in this area and it's only gonna get dangerous when you're going off the tourist
track, when you're going to more remote areas these tourist destinations are totally
safe to visit.
We have seen so many accidents on the way here.
Three or four cars that we just totaled. We've seen three trucks
wasted as well. Two of them had crashed into the median lane.
Like they'd just been in the middle of the road and just ran straight into it and through that the median lane.
Yeah, and we've seen another truck just on the side of the road just like like nearly tipped over.
Yes, it is a dangerous roads, you have to drive really carefully in really six at the speed limit.
We're not going over 80 kilometres an hour. Just taking it really easy, especially in the rain, you have to go even slower.
Let's have some tea quickly and get the hell out of here.
Alright guys another stop, I needed something sweet but then
we stopped we found something else
interesting.
We found
Rice bits 10 rupees per cup. This is local beer, basically.
And yet it's fermented from rice that's it
and they drink this up in the northeast as well as. I have seen this in Nagaland.
Recently
Show me
Do it tastes good? It tastes like
What are you doing bro?
Hey, what happened? It's creamy.
It's good. Does it taste good? is it creamy?
Taste like buttermilk.
He is drunk, he is wasted, he's gone.
Look at drunk, he's giggling. So when you're on a long road trip, you can stop here and have a drink.
wait
Only in India
We made it through the after Chitrakoot about an eight-hour drive we're here bro
Welcome, welcome to Chitrakoot.
So they've got some basic facilities here for tourists. You've got a few restaurants where you can get a drink.
It was 20 rupees to enter. That's it.
Now these guys have found the toilet for them
and so today in this video, we are gonna jump
off the waterfall.
Holding the GoPro and our hand going down, you know
that's the plan.
Don't tell the army.
Here we go. And of course, it's India, so there is a temple next to the waterfall a shiv temple. You can see the big
Lingam there
sticking up. There is a huge Lingam.
It's one of the biggest one I have ever seen.
All right, look at it. It's over flowing actually. Look at these trees they got caught in the way.
crazy
There were steps there but
It is so flooded and overflowing.
It's gonna be the most epic view you can ever see of this place right now in the middle of monsoon and check this out.
Here we are
The waterfall is 30 meters high.
You can actually take a boat at certain times of the year. Right now, you can't take a boat underneath it.
It is just it's raising right. It's going insane.
Usually it's not flowing like this, but it's flowing the full length today.
Usually it's kind of stops and starts in the middle in between but it's a full flow all the way today.
Insane waterfall.
And the spray that's coming up, just look at that spray man
It's incredible incredible
You can usually get out to that point there, but because it's so flooded because it's so flowing we can today. What to do
what to do but this has been an incredible experience
And people told me don't go to Chattisgarh. Watch up with the Naxalite and there are people online tend to over-exaggerate
about these things, especially on Instagram or YouTube.
There is no risk if you're just coming to these touristy areas.
You're not going very far off the beaten track in this area. You'll be ok.
Guys come and visit Chattisgarh. It's a beautiful beautiful place and India's largest waterfall
incredible we're gonna go and eat some parathe now drink some chai and
overlook, this this beautiful waterfall at this hotel, which is right right on the waterfall.
Jai Hind.
