Tripology: Travel Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

This week we received hospitality and kindness like never before! Taken in by a Pakistani local, treated like family and sent on our way, Pakistani people really are special.

However, the Pakistan Police Force showing a keen interest in a foreigner's whereabouts is also to be expected when travelling Pakistan, even if that means deploying armed officers to sleep in the room next door!

After a brief tea break where we almost converted to Islam, we made our way to Kalash Valley, to stay with the indigenous Kalash people: an ancient tribe residing in the area for thousands of years. Kalash Valley is both beautiful and peaceful, and if you stay there long enough, you may just get invited to a wedding!

The Kalash people are considered unique among the people of Pakistan; with a population of around 4000, they traditionally practice a form of ancient Hinduism. The women are known for wearing incredibly bright and decorative handmade garments, which you may have already seen on a documentary or two! Thought to be the descendants of Alexander the Great's warriors, some Kalash people have fair skin, blonde hair and blue eyes.

Who knew it was so difficult to book a hotel room in Ahmedabad? Sleeping in the outdoor food court of a hospital wasn’t exactly what we had in mind but it felt safer than the streets!

Little did we know the 26-hour bus journey we were about to embark on was going to see Adam embarrass himself in front of a bus load of Indians. An honest mistake or poor judgement? You decide!

After an incredibly turbulent 12-hour bus ride from Mumbai, we arrived in Jamnagar shaken but not stirred. Continuing the mission to learn as much as possible about Alun’s Polish grandparents, we headed to a school in Balachadi, just outside Jamnagar, where they studied back in the 1940s.

‘Rice 4 Breakfast’ makes a comeback with the best Pav Bhaji we’ve had in India- and in the state of Gujarat no less! Tune in to hear all about our whirlwind 48 hours in Gujarat!

It's party time! Alun turned 30 this week and we celebrated his birthday in style! Presented with a birthday gift live on air, Alun looks back on a decade of travel and offers insights into how it feels to be travelling at 30.

We also reflect on what's been an incredible two months in Mumbai. Mumbai will, for many reasons, always hold a special place in our hearts; a true turning point in the TRIPOLOGY story.

Recorded live from a hotel with a no-star rating, we're travelling through Gujurat and heading north to the mountains. Now is a great time to join the adventure!

We set off on a 48-hour mission to uncover Alun's family history. After catching a night bus 9 hours south of Mumbai, we had just one day to discover as much as we could about Alun's Polish Grandparents, who lived in Valivade during the 1940s. We struck gold before breakfast, managing to meet the local Governor, who happily escorted us around the village and nearby city of Kolhapur, ensuring the trip exceeded our wildest dreams!

The Polish refugee camp in Valivade was the largest camp for Polish refugees in India. From 1942-1948, around 5,000 Poles lived there, mainly women and children.

It’s Adam’s turn this week, as he recounts his city break to India’s capital Delhi. If being scammed on bus rides and meeting promiscuous Indian men is your bag, be sure to tune in!

Other highlights include visiting the majestic Taj Mahal in Agra, as well as indulging in the best street food India has to offer.

Alun takes off on a road trip to Murud, south of Mumbai, Maharashtra. His inability to navigate results in a few wrong turns and he ends up lost in Phansad Wildlife Sanctuary without as much as a drop of water to his name. Have we not told you how hot it is here? If the dehydration doesn’t get him, the leopards will!

Tune in for lots of animal trivia and heartwarming travel advice, as we share how to make the most of any trip in the face of adversity. Is that a mouse or a deer? Or a Jack Russell?

Adam's experiencing money troubles, with the Canadian tax authorities hot on his tail. Being locked out of your bank account and accused of committing financial fraud is never ideal, especially when you're travelling on a completely different continent. Is this Digital Nomad life really for him?

The back half of the episode is heavily weighted towards Tuk-tuks and personal hygiene, as Alun will stop at nothing until every Tripologist is washing their bottom with water. Don't you dare let him catch you with toilet paper!

Alun’s received the lion’s share of bad luck in the hostel, as his possessions continue to go missing. Are the hostel staff to blame or is there a backpacker thief on the loose? Listen, as we investigate and insinuate.

Alun gets his revenge by performing what can only be described as the greatest train stunt Churchgate Station has ever seen. Check out our Instagram page to see the action unfold!

‘Rice 4 Breakfast’ is back with a carb-heavy offering. Fried potato in a bun? It can only be the iconic Mumbai Vada Pav!
