Great video. Heading to Alaska next month (August 2023), your video was informative (bring mosquito repellent, rain gear, hiking boots), with awe inspiring scenery, & helpful sites/places to visit. Very much enjoyed your narration, excellent camera work by your partner. Thank you!

[@qiqiours]

Nice video. You were so happy and positive.

[@siadhillon]

Oh ! Thank you 😊

[@angeldelacruz928]

Just found you website, and loved your video gonna check out the rest !! Excellent video and great info as we were going to drive from Ohio through Canada to Fairbanks and spend 2 months traveling but the new Covid-19 requirements in Canada have changed our plans. We now are looking at Flying from Ohio to Fairbanks and taking two weeks working our way south to Anchorage and flying back to Ohio. Your Videos are very helpful and looking forward to viewing them all to plan our route. Thank you so much

[@siadhillon]

So glad you like it ! Hopefully they will be of help..

[@amansathe5691]

This is great video

[@siadhillon]

Thanks a lot :)

[@meghasharma302]

Great video. Loved the way you shared the specifics of what you covered on your trip. You chose really good places to stay! I am going there this summer and was wondering if you had to pay the entry fees to drive up to Savage river loop. Also the north and south view points, where you were able to see Denali, was that before of after Talkeetna? Appreciate your input.

[@siadhillon]

Hey! Thanks for the kind words. I do not remember if there was a fee to enter or not. You can view Denali from both the viewpoints and they are after you pass Talkeetna.

[@geethashetty7690]

Amazing & detailed Video..we are planning early august,how cold does it get in summer ?

[@siadhillon]

Thank you ! Not much cold ! A light sweater or jacket will do ☺️

[@0401maggi]

Loved your Alaska travel vlogs. We are planning a trip this summer, would it be possible to share your complete itinerary.

[@siadhillon]

Thank a lot ! The entire itinerary is filmed in the vlogs and included in the description of the videos. Hope you have an amazing trip! have fun :)

[@neilcharles2520]

It will be nice if you can list the prices of the resorts and food at the restaurants,that way people can plan ahead if it's too expensive for them..We did two cruises to Alaska from Seattle,but want to do a 10 day road trip in July...Thanks for the video.

[@sumitraraichoudhury6799]

Great vedio guys 👍🏻 Which month did you travel and how was the weather? And any packing tips?

[@siadhillon]

Thank You ! we went in July 1st week. must carry a rain jacket, boots, mosquito repellent and bear spray.

[@atanusett1099]

I liked you video.. collected few info which I needed.. I was in alaska few years back but we didnt visit Fairbank area, we explored Seward/whittier/Denali. . So this time we have plan to visit that part. Did you visited Aurora ice museum?

[@siadhillon]

Haven’t been to the ice museum. But Loved Fairbanks for whatever we did in two days 😊. Enjoy your travels ..

[@neilrobertson3947]

great video how many days did your vacation last

[@siadhillon]

Thanks ! it was for a week :)

[@kaykrishnan]

Nice video Sia and Abi. What are the good things to see in and around Fairbanks. Any suggestions? I am visiting Alaska next month Mid-July to be more specific

[@siadhillon]

THANK YOU ! We recommend taking a trip to Denali National Park, staying at the Chena hot springs or use a day pass and go for the hike at Angel Rocks.

[@cccheung4006]

Great video, did you take the shuttle bus to go around the Denali NP? Is it worth the 6-7 hrs of ride to go around the NP.

[@siadhillon]

Thanks for the kind words ! We didn't have the time for the shuttle bus hence we did not experience it. Honestly i don't think it is worth to spend so much time on that.

[@lippikaamodvig4816]

Lovely video. 😊 which camera are you using?

[@siadhillon]

LIPPIKA AMOD VIG thanks ! I use Dji Osmo Pocket 😊

Thank You !

[@francisaerol]

Hey question, what time of the year you guys travelled ? Thank you! Also if you have texts for your itinerary! PS. I love your hat and I love the whole videography. I can’t wait to visit

[@siadhillon]

Thanks a lot ! We went in July. All the text is included in the description below the 4 Alaska videos.

[@DiaryOfACharmedLife]

Hello! I'm going to Alaska at the end of July and I love your travel vlogs! Would you be able to tell me how many days you stayed and what towns you stayed in each night? We're going for 10 days! I would appreciate it so much!

[@siadhillon]

We stayed in Anchorage for 5 nights, a night in Denali, a night in Fairbanks and a night close to Hatcher Pass 😊

[@DiaryOfACharmedLife]

@@siadhillon Did you drive back to anchorage each night or stay in hotels closer to seward?

[@siadhillon]

@@DiaryOfACharmedLife we stayed close to Anchorage but we do recommend staying close to Seward for a day or two 😊

[@amritatripathi5315]

great video.. can we cover Denali in one day or we need two days to cover whole park?

[@siadhillon]

Thanks! I would suggest a 3 day trip for Denali and Fairbanks :)

[@ltxtrang]

@@siadhillon Your video is so helpful. Did you make the round trip from Anchorage to Fairbanks and back to Anchorage in 3 days by car? On the way back, did you stop along the way or to drive all the way from Fairbanks to Anchorage? I was thinking of starting my trip from home to Fairbanks, make my way down to Anchorage and down to the Kenai Peninsula, then go home from Anchorage, so I don’t have to make the round trip. Thank you.

[@siadhillon]

@@ltxtrang we drove from Anchorage to Fairbanks, then back to Anchorage and from there made a round trip to Seward.

[@jasbirkaur5795]

Didn't you do the bus trip into Denali National Park? Or did you only go up to where the car could take you without the permit? Your picks for accommodations are great.

[@siadhillon]

We didn't go for the bus trip. Everything was done within the limits of what was possible with car. Thanks for your appreciation. BTW my closest aunt ( my bhua ) shares the same name as yours :)

[@dhwanirenkuntla4301]

Reading these comments in 2023 as I was browsing for Alaskan adventures and stumbled upon your videos. I’d also be skipping the bus tour at DNP to save time for other fun things to do. Thanks for sharing your insights! :)

[@TrangNguyen-ek6jv]

Hi, is the hot spring between Daniel park and Fairbanks?

[@siadhillon]

It is close to Fairbanks !

[@benjaminchen1131]

Thank You! You spent 4 days on this trip, right？

[@joseph40ninjas88]

Were you lucky enough to see any grizzly bears on this trip?

[@siadhillon]

Unfortunately we were not. Make sure to check our video on Seward for all the wildlife in Alaska.

[@naturelvr9249]

I hope you had bear spray hiking in the woods!

[@siadhillon]

We didn't and that was a mistake. We strongly recommend to carry one .

[@Joncotter324]

As a former Alaska resident, I know that you don’t go hiking in the Alaskan woods until you’ve sprayed yourself with bug spray from head to toe.

[@siadhillon]

Agree to that ! Its highly recommended.
