When traveling to India, you don’t have to go in the cheapest train cabin, buy from hawkers, or stay at dirt cheap hostels to see the ‘real India’.

去印度旅行的时候，你不必坐最便宜的火车车厢、从街边小贩那里买东西，也不必住极其便宜的旅馆才能看到“真正的印度”。

A lot of tourists, particularly younger tourists who want to ’taste’ the reality of India (seems to be the case especially for French tourists), like to ’take on’ India as some sort of challenge and come out on the other side. In my younger days I’ve even had several of this type of ‘world conqueror’ type of traveller tell me that they know India better than indians because they spend a night in a slum or have been eating on the streets etc. (WHY THOUGH?)

Most people (including indians) are not made for the kind of budget travel that truly ‘budget’ travel in India is all about. There is no baseline for what is considered appropriate/clean/safe in these kinds of scenarios (speaking as someone who has travelled across India 30+ times, from bigger tourist towns to places in the North-east with no electricity)

There is absolutely no point in putting yourself through bad hotels and trains IF you have the means to pay for better. Hotels in India are cheap, travel is cheap and you should always look at 3+ star hotels, and buying planes or luxury train/bus where possible. Poverty porn is not cute, and India has some of the best mid-top tier experiences to offer in the world.

很多游客，尤其是想“尝尝”印度现实的年轻游客（似乎法国游客尤其如此），都喜欢把“征服”印度当作某种挑战，去发掘另一面。在我年轻的时候，甚至有几个这种“世界征服者”类型的游客告诉我，他们比印度人更了解印度，因为他们在贫民窟住过一晚，或者在街上吃过东西等等（为什么呢？）

大多数人（包括印度人）都不适合在印度进行真正的“穷游”。在这种情况下，对于什么是合适/干净/安全的来说，是没有底线的（作为一个在印度旅行过 30 多次的人来说，从较大的旅游城市到东北部没有电的地方都去过）

如果你有能力支付住更好的酒店和火车的费用，就绝对没有必要让自己住在糟糕的酒店和火车里。印度的酒店很便宜，旅行也很便宜，大家应该尽可能选择三星级以上的酒店，购买飞机或豪华火车/巴士。聚焦贫困并不可爱，印度拥有世界上最好的中高档体验。

Poverty porn is not cute

Don’t get me started on the people that take tour busses into the slums of Rio, Cape Town, Mumbai, etc. and post pics of themselves with local children they are “helping.” It’s disgusting and they should feel bad, because they are bad. I don’t see how international sites like Viator don’t get backlash.

It’s like the people who took bus tours after hurricane Katrina, you are watching human suffering as if it was a zoo.

更别提那些开着旅游大巴到里约、开普敦、孟买等地的贫民窟，然后把自己和那些“帮助”的当地儿童的合影发到网上的人。这太恶心了，他们应该感到难过，因为他们这样很糟糕。我不明白像 Viator 这样的国际网站怎么会没有受到强烈抗议。

这就像卡特里娜飓风过后那些乘坐巴士游览的人们一样，你们把人类的苦难当做动物园来观赏。

It is, but spending money in those places does help. I’m a huge advocate of buying locally-made things. And for people living in the slums, it’s not a post-hurricane state, but most were born there. A slum is essentially a poor village.

确实如此，但在这些地方花钱确实有帮助。我非常提倡购买当地制造的东西。对于生活在贫民窟的人来说，这不是飓风过后的状态，而且大多数人都出生在那里。贫民窟本质上就是一个贫穷的村庄。

What is more disfiguring is the complacency of the local authorities. You can’t blame the touriste, they are helping more than the Indians…

更令人难堪的是当地政府的自满情绪。你不能责怪游客，他们比印度政府提供的帮助更大…

Some Europeans make very little in their countries! Let’s not discount the fact that these budget accommodations, food, and travel are all they can afford after paying for their plane ticket.

有些欧洲人在本国的收入很低！我们不要忽视这样一个事实，即这些廉价的住宿、食物和旅行是他们在支付机票费用后所能负担的全部费用。

Interesting, example of a country and approximate budget a person like that has?

有意思，给个这样的国家和这样的人的大概预算的例子？

Romania, where I’m from, is like this. Minimum salary after taxes is $425 per month (assuming 8hr a day, 5 days a week). Average is $985.

As you can see, even buying a return plane ticket to India or South East Asia for $600-700 would be quite a struggle for a lot of people. And then you still need to have enough money left for everything else once you get to your destination.

我的家乡罗马尼亚就是这样。税后最低工资为每月 425 美元（假设每天工作 8 小时，每周 5 天）。平均工资为 985 美元。

正如你所看到的，即使花 600-700 美元买一张去印度或东南亚的往返机票，对很多人来说也是相当吃力的。而且到达目的地后，你还需要有足够的钱来支付其他一切费用。

Yes but if you are not well off then why slum it? Better and cheaper to go too greece for a week.

好吧，但如果你经济条件不好，那为什么还要去这么远的贫民窟呢？去希腊一周游不是更好更便宜吗。

I traveled to India and within weeks developed a chronic illness that comes with a neurological disability (ME/ CFS), forever changing my life.

India is a big risk for non-Indians

我前往印度旅行，几周内就患上了一种伴有神经功能障碍（ME/CFS）的慢性疾病，永远地改变了我的生活。

印度对非印度人来说风险很大

Why isn’t it cute? I travelled Sri Lanka, I loved the cheapest trains, street food and dirt shit hotels. I can’t see any of that where I’m from. I had a 10/10 time experiencing this part of life.

It’s ok if you don’t like. Don’t explain to other people what they’re supposed to enjoy though.

为什么不能去贫困的地方？我去斯里兰卡旅行，我喜欢那里最便宜的火车、街头小吃和肮脏的酒店。这些在我的家乡都看不到。我对这部分生活的体验十分满意。

如果你不喜欢也没关系。但不要向其他人指手画脚别人应该享受什么。

This is so stupid. If you have money but want to live frugally who cares? Let people have the experience they want.

这太荒谬了。就算人家有钱但是想省吃俭用你也要管？让别人拥有他们想要的体验。

[dexed]

Yes and no. If you want to do things frugally that is one thing but the line comes to me when you use people’s poverty as entertainment and/or represent an entire country to the world in an unbalanced way.

I’m not taking a tourist to the worst parts of my home city to have them take pictures and experience the poverty there, nor would I want my home country represented that way to the unknowing public.

是，也不是。如果你自己想省吃俭用，那是一回事，但当你把人们的贫穷当作娱乐和/或以一种不平衡的方式向世界展示整个国家时，我觉得问题就来了。

我不会把游客带到我家乡最糟糕的地方，让他们拍照并体验那里的贫穷，我也不希望我的祖国以这种方式展现给不明真相的公众。

aunzuk123

That sounds very manipulative to me… Doing things frugally isn’t the only way to see authenticity, but it’s not unauthentic. You insisting that people stay in nice places and stay away from the worst places is creating a false image just like those only going to the bad places are.

If my country had crippling poverty levels, I’d love that to be highlighted so something is actually done to fix it. Pretending it doesn’t exist doesn’t do anything other than improve your “image”. While in all likelihood one tourist/vlogger isn’t going to make any difference, your plan could make it even worse!

You shouldn’t be misrepresenting anywhere - whether you’re pretending that everyone lives in slums, or you’re pretending that no-one does.

在我看来，这听起来太过选择性了……穷游并不是展现真实的唯一途径，但也不是不真实。你坚持让人们只待在好地方，远离最糟糕的地方，这跟那些只去糟糕地方的人有什么两样，都是在制造一个虚假的形象。

如果我的国家贫穷到了令人发指的地步，我也希望人们能重视这一点，从而采取一些实际行动来解决这个问题。假装它不存在，除了能改善你的“形象”外，什么也做不了。虽然很可能一个游客/博主不会带来任何改变，但你这种计划可能会让情况变得更糟！

无论是假装所有人都住在贫民窟，还是假装没有人住在贫民窟，你都不应该在任何地方歪曲事实。

[dexed]

No, I don’t insist on anything other than respect and there is a line which to me is altogether obvious. Poverty is not entertainment it’s a tragedy. There are 1.4 billion Indians exposure and knowledge of the poverty in India is not the issue. Nor is the cheap apparent sympathy of foreign tourists the solution.

Go on Viatour and look up how many slum tours there are, for example, “Explore one of the world’s largest slums, the Dharavi Slum in Mumbai, with a dedicated guide on this private tour. Learn about the history and culture of this area and the daily lives of the inhabitants through….”

What will you see from the trip photos over and over, smiling faces, lots of instagram worthy pictures with kids. The tour sites assure you it’s safe to go just don’t bring valuables of course. Maybe bring 20 rupees to throw on a few kids faces along with the assurance that some of the profits of your 20 dollar usd tour go to help the people in the slums. You are now a philanthropist for all to see.

Want to help those people, commit to donating to a legitimate NGO, give until it hurts. Let the people in poverty and in the slums live a dignified life without faux sympathy.

不，除了尊重之外，我并不坚持其他任何东西，对我来说，有一条界线是显而易见的。贫穷不是娱乐，而是悲剧。印度有 14 亿人口，了解印度的贫困并不是问题所在。外国游客廉价的表面同情也不能解决问题。

在 Viatour 上查找一下有多少贫民窟旅游团，例如“在这次私人旅游中，在专职导游的带领下，探索世界上最大的贫民窟之一--孟买的达拉维贫民窟。通过….了解该地区的历史和文化以及居民的日常生活。”

你会从旅行照片中看到什么呢，一张张笑脸，许多值得在 instagram 上晒的与孩子们的合影。旅游网站向你保证，这里很安全，当然，不要带贵重物品。也许可以带 20 卢比去给孩子们买点吃的，并保证从 20 美元的旅游收入中拿出一部分来帮助贫民窟的人们。现在，你就是闪闪发光的慈善家了。

想要帮助这些人，就去向合法的非政府组织捐款，捐到心痛为止。让穷人和贫民窟的人们过上有尊严的生活，而不要假惺惺地同情他们。
