US Traveller Outsmarts Google Maps On Trip To Bihar's Bhagalpur, Internet Is Impressed | WATCH Viral Video

An American content creator's Instagram video about his trip to Bhagalpur, Bihar, has gone viral. The video shows him challenging Google Maps' time estimate and using local transport like scooters and a boat to cross the Ganga due to an under-construction bridge. 

A recent Instagram video by an American content creator has caught the internet’s attention for showcasing a different and unexpected side of Bihar. The video chronicles his trip to Bhagalpur, where he is shown navigating the state's common modes of transportation, such as riding scooters and taking a boat over the Ganga. Social media users are both amused and moved by the combination of movement, moments, and observations.

The video was shared by Instagram user @tonykmontana. The caption of the post read, "Google Maps said 4 hours. Bihar said “sit down beta”."

In the video, the content creator says, "I'm an American and I'm having the time of my life here in Bihar, but I'm here in Mansi and it says here on Google Maps that its gonna take 4 hours to get to Bhagalpur. Its literally a 20 minute drive, but do you know what Google Maps doesn't know about Indian ingenuity. I guarantee you there's a way we can get to Bhagalpur real quick."

The video depicts him engaging with villagers while touring around Bihar in various ways. He is shown riding a scooter at one point and remarks, "Biharis are so sweet, they always pick you up no matter what."

Eventually, the artist arrives at a bridge over the Ganga that is still under construction and seems taken aback. Looking around at the busy scene, he says, "So, we have reached where the bridge is supposed to be. Its fully under construction. I have no idea how we're gonna get through this, its a scene here."

Before eventually boarding a boat to continue the trip to Bhagalpur, he is subsequently seen asking the villagers how they would cross the river.
