Worst Travel Day EVER! Kathmandu, Nepal to Delhi, India

Have you ever experienced a bad day of travel? On our way from Kathmandu, Nepal to Delhi, India we had our worst travel day ever! It basically was a series of bad events one after another that made for just a horrible and stressful day of travel.

Firstly, at the airport in Kathmandu the Air India staff and immigration were not accepting our India tourist e-visa that we had completed a month in advance. The piece of paper we were carrying did not look official to them and after making us wait for nearly two hours we finally were allowed to go through security.

Upon arriving in India the immigration staff for e-visas was dreadfully understaffed and maybe officers were just chatting with each other instead of doing their job. Finally after arriving to our hotel we had trouble finding an ATM that would dispense cash but it took us 9 tries to finally find one that did.

Overall, a horrible day of travel but we're looking forward to having a good night of sleep and starting fresh tomorrow with the idea of having a great travel adventures in India.

Worst Travel Day EVER! Kathmandu, Nepal to Delhi, India transcript:

So it is another travel day. Our time in Kathmandu is up. And next up we're off to India to rendezvous with Sam's parents.

Yeah, my parents are going to be joining us and we're going to be traveling for close to a month in India. It is going to be an amazing adventure. I mean it is kind of sad that our time in Nepal went by so fast but I just feel like our travels have just been going so quickly this past year.

I don't know what it is. It feels like we just arrive and then we're leaving. We're leaving. But anyways yeah we have a busy schedule in India and we'll tell you more about that soon.

So let's go check in.

This is Audrey ranting...

Staff didn't think our e-visa was a real visa

They decided to check in other passengers instead

so we waited...a long time

Then we got taken to the back office

We had to go online and prove we were granted entry

it was a stressful 1+ hour

Well I would say this has been a very stressful morning. We were able to make it through but for some reason our visa was a huge problem and we were there probably for an hour. I thought they were not going to let us go through security or get on the plane.

But anyways, that is sorted. Now our flight has been delayed again. It had already been delayed once before. And the power has also gone out in the airport. So it could be a long day.

How are you feeling? At the moment.

I'm still frazzled about the India situation because yeah.

Um, we have something called an e-visa. Yeah. It is where you apply online um you're approved and then you're given this form to print out. And I guess the people working here have never seen that before. And so they weren't accepting it. And so luckily someone had the idea when we went to the back office to actually check it out. Like to check it out to look it up online. Look it up online and then it was confirmed yes we are allowed to go. But yeah, it looked like we were going to be not let on that plane.

And like it would be really frustrating just the two of us traveling but the fact we are meeting up with my parents and we've arranged this trip like months in advance and we've already booked train tickets and hotels. Just like all of these thoughts were racing through my head. Like oh my gosh we're not going to be there to meet them.

You know it was just awful. I'm just absolutely frazzled right now. I'm trying to calm down but this has not been a great day. Yeah.

So yeah, that has been our first day in Delhi.

Yeah, so sorry this video has been really ranty and whiny. It feels like we've just been complaining all day long. That has been us today. Nah travel.

Well, it was a tough day.

So a good night sleep and hopefully a brighter day tomorrow.

Yeah, so hopefully the next video you see from us will be a fun travel vlog out sightseeing in Delhi and yeah more peppy optimism. Ciao for now.
