A Tour of JODHPUR | The Blue City of Rajasthan, India

[@LoneTraveler-nc6rf]

Stepwells have such an interesting history in India and many are very beautiful. Thank you for the introduction.

[@matthewmorris7510]

Yeah I like them, beautifully constructed

[@Anonymous_soul10]

Particularly in Rajasthan cuz of shortage of water

[@ronrash5895]

OMG!!! Your India series has been so fun! Thank you! I will be in Rajasthan in January and you have given me a lot of ideas for my trip. I have been there before, but I have not been to the village of Khuri. I will let you know when I stay at the Arjun family guest house!!!

[@annkk5037]

So great to watch warm India from cold Europe, thanks for the interesting video!

[@arjunraj823]

Jodhpur is now 13°c. North India can get colder in winter.

[@annkk5037]

@@arjunraj823 here is snowing and -2C, still better in India:)

[@jatinsharma5024]

​@@annkk5037Yes but in summer , You will dislike India. It is too too much hot and humid 😢😢😢😢😢

[@BlakeWomack-f5j]

Another inspiring video. I just got back yesterday from 3.5 week Indian holiday and of course you were on my mind and part of the reason I felt I could go do it alone. Delhi, Jaipur, Agra, Haridwar, Rishikesh, Varanasi, and Kolkata. Three overnight 'Express' trains (second class AC) and many wonderful encounters and sites. The lemon, ginger, honey tea at the Little Buddha Cafe in Rishikesh is the best - thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Very cool, glad to hear it. 👍

[@Deadfoot-Dan]

Awesome, he has also inspired me to visit and I'm heading that way in a couple months.

[@BlakeWomack-f5j]

@@Deadfoot-Dan I'm 62, did it alone, kind of winged it but also had definite places in mind. Safe travels. The people I met along the way were incredibly nice and at times even overly helpful. I'm ready to go back.

[@Deadfoot-Dan]

@@BlakeWomack-f5j I won't be roughing it too much, it's cheap enough over there to pay up for a little comfort, but I'm prepared if I have to, I even got rid of my memory foam mattress pad and am sleeping on a firm mattress to get acclimated (LOL)

[@trevorcrawford2727]

I have recently discovered your channel. Really enjoying the content and reminiscing about our time in India 25 years ago.

[@SCHOOLOFLIGHT]

I booked tickets to Delhi this week, and have been deciding on a side trip. Your Hampi video had me seeking that, but Jodhpur is looking like the one. Thanks so much for all the great content and wonderful way you interact with these places Gabriel. I appreciate you man.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I saw your other comment, sounds like this is Denis? Thanks for the support.

[@SCHOOLOFLIGHT]

An absolute pleasure mate🙏🏼

[@Deadfoot-Dan]

i think I have noticed more Western tourists in Jodhpur than anywhere else so far on this leg of the India adventure, and I can see why, that fort is definitely worth the time to go there and visit.

[@gerrytran]

Beautiful and colorful Jodhpur. Great video once again Gabriel!

[@carlapires7732]

Been there myself & the views from the top as well as the premises are amazing! Tipping expected when posing with officials inside :-) Great retrospective of the area! Thank you for the memories!

[@Ivyslife33]

So beautiful the Fort, amazing 👏 the blue city 💙 is different but spectacular ✌️

[@lbunnygordon1133]

Morocco has it s blue city Chefchaouen loved it but nothing beats India and this place Jodhpur. Still keep looking at photos from 2019 thanking my lucky stars had luck to visit it. I felt strangely at home amongst Indian people although am not that outgoing.❤❤Gabe shows it all the best way.

[@amrutaukarande9126]

Wow 👌

[@pianistclaireblack]

This is utterly magical. I feel so spoiled to have access to this footage of a country that has always fascinated me. You've stirred up my travel bug!! 🙏

[@naveex6968]

they call Rani ki Vav Gujarat the best stepwell in India. but last year a famous youtuber from India has proved that it is an inverted temple. and it is an incredible work of architecture. experts say they have no clue how much deep inside the ground it goes. there have been 6 attempts of restoration of the Temple last of it in the 1980s. but more they tried more n more staffs they found so the finally gave it up. the most unique and amazing temple in the world. a must visit when in Gujarat.

[@babayada2015]

My Spidey sense is sensing BS Who was the youtuber again?

[@babayada2015]

Ah found it, he is Praveen Mohan. The video is ridiculous and the only explanation he offers is that it is a stepwise structure and hence inverted temple.

[@babayada2015]

He Also claims that this structure was abandoned because of "negative energy" and he felt angry and sorrow while inside

[@jampuppy]

Cool! Indore! Can’t wait. I know nothing about it!

[@Observers00]

Another Great Coverage of Classical Rajasthan. Great Stuff.

[@ageoflove1980]

The sheer scale of that fort is just unreal

[@TravelbyDartTV]

Such a place rich in history! It's indeed the place where the blue houses are so vibrant, even the skies might get a bit jealous, and navigating the narrow streets feels like playing an urban game of Twister.

[@malharaher904]

25:17 they are utensils which are used if we want to prepare food in large quantity. It is used during wedding function or any function where there will be public gathering to prepare curry.

[@brajeshkanungo2203]

When you come to Indore then definitely visit Maheshwar, Mandu, Ujjain, Rajwada Indore. Historical heritage will be seen. Best wishes

[@Just_forfun9140]

Nice. Walking thru ancient streets of this place is much more interesting than seeing skyscrapers of India. Seen severa Indian step wells on YT, some have exquisitely carved sculptures, works of art.

[@Slykkpkins]

Wonderful hidden gems to be in India.

[@markbench8721]

Drove from Jaisalmer to Pushkar stopping a few hours in Jodhpur once. It's a long drive..

[@mrameyaap]

Disappointed to hear that you're not going to Mumbai, but you should explore the Konkan region sometime. It has a vibe similar to Gokarna and Goa, which suits your style. Anyway, great video as always.

[@benbaruchblich8892]

תודה!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks a lot. ✌️

[@Electrical1112]

Please visit Chittorgarh fort & Kumbhalgarh fort( has second largest wall after Great Wall of China ) As well They are also in Rajasthan

[@Electrical1112]

Chittorgarh = is one of the largest forts in India. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The fort was the capital of Mewar and is located in the present-day city of Chittorgarh Rajasthan .

[@babayada2015]

Aside from being really huge, chittorgarh is mostly meh

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I visited Chittorgarh on my first trip in 1999, very interesting.

[@avsinghkahlon9999]

Nice video of massive fort in jodhpur. It would be interesting to view the city from surrounding cliffs

[@sanjaychakraborty4633]

Looks everyone more or less happy with their limited resources. Nice video tour. Thank you Gabriel!

[@parulsinha3092]

Those iron woks you thought were boats were used to boil oil in, they used to throw hot oil on any enemies trying to climb the fort walls. Cannons would not work if someone was too close. Most armies had expert climbers and boiling oil was used on them.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I see, that makes sense.

[@guruvittal]

25:15 They are Huge vessels (called "Kadhai") - Frying pans. Perhaps they were used to prepare hot water, or for cooking on special occasions, when food was to be prepared for hundreds of guests, Indore, another wonderful city of Kings

[@wilfredotorres6628]

Hi Gabriel, amazing day of traveling around the city and Mehrangarh Fort which is like a city and intact just unreal rivals anything around Europe. The only place that is more impressive is the Forbidden City in China. The one thing that made an impression on me is the overhang on the fort which is part of the style of architecture in India called Eaves is the overhang at the lower edge of the roof very interesting and has a pronounced view.

[@quackersna]

I get that you chose the font color for your thumbnail because this is the blue city, but I'm just going to suggest sticking with it. It pops and looks good brother. ✌️

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Cool.

[@guruvittal]

Agree

[@israr144]

in online world which is full of r@cist comments to Indians, negative videos and one sided negative news about India your videos about India are like breath of fresh air.

[@Lorraine-p4r]

I have seen the opposite nasty , negative Indian 'news' about the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland! Not even true. Also I have seen how Hindus, are racist to Christians in India! Burning their homes and churches, persecuting us Christians.

[@pradeepchoudhary1627]

[@Yo-Man]

can confirm-beautiful city. And almost or even same location roof top bar. ))

[@thewanderer8]

Wow. You don't haggle with rickshaw drivers? LoL. They certainly took you for a ride! Excellent video. You look like you're having a lot of fun.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

200 rupees for each of the rickshaw rides is $2.40 USD, not exactly big money. 😛 I'm sure the metered rate would be less but if I'm happy with the price I go with it.

[@denniswhite1317]

The history of the Blue houses traces all the way back to 1982, when Michael Jordan hit the game winning jumper for Dean Smith and the UNC Tarheels to win the NCAA basketball championship. They were painted red originally, but 1982 changed their fandom. There it is. History!

[@witlof5492]

BS - perhaps you need to know that history does not revolve around the 'good ole USA'.

[@denniswhite1317]

I’m sorry Sir/Ms., but this history is 100% true. On the second floor of the first building Gabe enters, there is a statue of Sam Perkins and James Worthy. Please refrain from criticizing until you get your facts right. I recommend going to Jodhpour and see for your self. @@witlof5492

Rajasthan is known for its forts , the Rajputs were known for their valour back in the day , Punjab area rose much later to the idea of thwarting invasions from rulers of kingdoms in Turkey, Iran & Afghanistan.However it is Maharaja Ranjeet Singh of Punjab who led several attacks & successful conquests of areas that now fall in modern day Afghanistan , Tibet , Pakistan & Aksai Chin

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Book flights on expedia, I've booked lots of flights on this trip, all very cheap. For train tickets go to a tourist office and have them book it for you, also long distance buses or else just go to the main bus station and catch the next bus.

[@cdakskid]

Thank you, Gabriel! I am in India right now, trying to muddle my way through things. I appreciate your help, sir!

[@ajaypushkarna4811]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZuQhYhpqtSbnKsfeature=shared

[@Dr.Mzungu]

​@@GabrielTravelerVideosin India the word tourist office means scam office. If you want to avoid being cheated buy your tickets directly from the train station and bus station and do not rely on scummy tourist office. The word tourist office is used everywhere and they all claim to be legit. Other option is find a reliable hotel and speak to a manager. He will try and assist you. Just be careful, unfortunately in India scammers prey on foreigners who are not aware.

[@RHYMmusicx]

There are travel booking shops in every city of India. Where you can book bus tickets. Remember next time when you visit.

Isn't one supposed to barter a bit in India? He always takes the first price given by rickshaw drivers.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

You certainly can if you want, but the prices they've been quoting are very reasonable. I'm not that concerned about saving 50 cents or whatever.

[@Dr.Mzungu]

Western view often tends to be extreme. Yes bargain, but apply some common sense. Ever hear abot being Penny wise, Pound foolish? I've foreigners trying to negotiate at restaurants. Even prices are written on the menu.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

@@powshredder3716 I guess it's a Yoga 7 14IAL7. It renders my vids very quickly, in 5-10 minutes generally. But that's when I'm filming with my DJI. If I use my Gopro it takes a lot longer to process those files for some reason. I film at 1080p so not sure how well it would do with 4k.

[@powshredder3716]

​@@GabrielTravelerVideos Ok thanks for that. I didn't know you only shot in 1080, good to know. The go pro supposedly has a higher 'Bit color range" which is why it takes longer, is what I have heard. I'm a bit of a luddite when it comes to the tech world I can hardly keep up with it all. Why do you choose to film in 1080? curious.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Simply because the files are smaller and easier for my computer to handle. Although I haven't actually tried filming in 4k and testing it on my current laptop, so it's something to consider and see how it handles the files.
