A New York-based content creator took a one-day trip to India and visited the Taj Mahal. Kevin Droniak admitted that not many people would agree to do what he did — fly 15 hours one way for a 24-hour trip. Even so, this stunt was not entirely surprising for the content creator, whose USP is exploring the world through one-day vacations.

Kevin’s trip to India began with a 15-hour flight from New York City to New Delhi. He landed in Delhi around 9:30 pm on March 21 and, after completing immigration formalities, booked a cab to Agra.

The journey to Agra from Delhi took four hours, and he reached the city around 2 am. After spending a few hours in a hotel, the American content creator got up bright and early to see the Taj Mahal.

He still had a few hours to kill before his flight, so Kevin went to see the “Baby Taj” — as the Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah is also called. Finally, as the day began to close, he reached the railway station for his train to Delhi.

It was at this point that Kevin’s plans hit a snag. He realised that his train had been cancelled. Determined not to miss his flight back to the United States, he booked a cab and reached the Delhi airport.

“India tried to keep me here but it’s time to go home,” the content creator said. “Would you do this day trip or are you mentally stable?” he jokingly asked his viewers.

The video has crossed over 6 lakh views in a day, racking up a ton of amused and surprised comments.

“So this is clinically insane,” wrote one person. “How do you sleep on the plane and handle the jet lag? Incredible!” another asked. “You’re crazy for this,” a viewer added.
