[@chriswalls2262]

By the way. The best KZbin Chanel by far. Good stuff Gabe. 👍🏻

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks man! Much appreciated.

[@dinubartwal]

Yes , i was abt to say that !!

[@SujataMukherjee01]

Bro did u meet the painter?☺ Funny part is rich indians go for world tour and don't see their own country.U came such a long way to appreciate its beauty. Thank u.

[@Bpradeep1992]

Thanks Gabe for taking us along for the Himalayan bus ride! 🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌⛰🏔🗻🏔⛰🏔🗻🏔

[@Swampzoid]

I started watching these videos mainly to see touristy things about India. I've been taken on amazing journeys like non I could have imagined. Thanks so much. Happy travels to you and be safe.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Excellent.

[@itsalwayssunnyingoa2963]

My strong prediction is israel in your next vlogs :)

[@PankajTraveler]

Cool Journey 👌 Music is also amazing, first one is loud & strong, second matched the scene.

[@MarkBH70]

Never seen anything like it!

[@SchokoKekseFTW]

is this a local bus? I remember some long long rides in those... long and sometimes scary lol

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yes, local bus, I booked it in Uttarkashi early that morning at the local bus station.

[@KarinLynnBates]

Epic, epic views! Wow! Beautiful journey. As a side note, in the shots of the $15 hotel room where you were, I was dying laughing at the placement of the mirror next to the bed! 😂😂😂 Peace. ✌🏼

[@JeniferCornell]

Karin B Haha!

[@KarinLynnBates]

Jen C. 😂😂😂

[@boxersoho]

I don't know where he found USD 15 hotel. On main road decent hotel with parking starts from USD 70.

[@humanhuman1038]

Yes, it's strange having a mirror near to bed. Anc in off season rooms are pretty cheap. Beautiful place. Gaurav from delhi

[@ashwinikhanna]

Lovely videos of the Himalayas. i cromecast and keep watching your videos on tv ... my wife saying I've become your fan! I think she is right!

[@thelinthicums3295]

Nice woman next to you on the bus gives up her window seat when she notices you need to record the views!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

She didn't give me her seat, but she let me reach my arm over so I could point my camera out the window.

[@hindustan2478]

@@GabrielTravelerVideos because of vomiting issue

[@writerman242]

We almost crossed paths I was there in October 2006 Close! You are correct not many foreigners, though there is a college there that teaches Hindi language and a lot of westerners used to go there for a few months at a time over the winters mostly I think

[@NicoleHRRCP]

Was there a toilet in the bus? Yeah, I think of these things :)

[@itsalwayssunnyingoa2963]

Nicole Macal no there arent toilets in indian buses :)

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Nope. I think about that too while on those buses. A bit of a stresser. They do stop for breaks at least, but if you really gotta go you're kinda screwed. They would pull over if you asked them to, but then you'd have a busload of people staring at you.

[@boxersoho]

There are no toilet in small buses. You may find one in full sized buses but those runs on Highways, not smaller mountain roads.

[@jaisanatanbhakti]

There are no toilets on bus. That's the reason most of the middle class Indians travel by car. Also you can rent a taxi which will charge around $75 for same distance and can ask the driver to stop for breaks as per ur convenience.

[@DipaliKailaje]

Hi Gabe.. Have u been to Pithoragarh district in Uttarakhand? Love all your Himalayan videos.. u r amazing.. good luck and keep shooting...

[@shubhamrawat3801]

Plz come to kumaun division of uttrakhand there are many beautiful places to explore👍

[@rskbug]

The lady sitting next to 02:35 must be thinking, "who is this guy whispering to?".

[@kashpatel7955]

Ha ha lol true! most of the rural india hasn't seen stuff like this cause they are still not in touch with the internet world !

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Probably. Although the whole bus must have figured out that I was filming because I kept reaching across the aisles to get the shots. I asked the people sitting there if I could stick my camera out the window and they were happy to oblige.

[@Just4Kixs]

So beautiful!

[@MariaKeswell]

Great vid Gabriel ! Love the landscape and the filming of the people on the bus! Is your GoPro still working ok?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks Maria. The Gopro is still working okay but also still having the audio issues, which is annoying. Some of the clips come out with no audio. But I'm just working around it and it isn't messing things up too bad. Hope you're good!

[@MariaKeswell]

Did you contact the company about it ?

[@darshu_8998]

time to buy a new camera😉

I pay for all my travels through money I make online. Here's a video that explains more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/embNoHaoqcl_jdU

[@mehul5590]

Hey Gabe, till when r u in North India. Try n visit Goa on Christmas week

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I left India yesterday, now in the Middle East. Videos from here coming soon after a few more India videos.

[@mehul5590]

Gabriel Traveler Okay Brother, Enjoy ur life and keep motivating others.

[@NDVC.]

*Thank you! I like this place. Same Vietnam. I m Vietnam.*

[@cartoonistangle9214]

Namaskar

[@akashrauthan]

Thats not the main bazar ..you are on the wrong side of the hill..the main market is on the other side..you cannot explore mussorie in 2 days..there are so many places to visit and hike

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Okay, I think I went to the other main market area later in the afternoon, which will be shown in my next video.

[@donstravelsandrants.]

Truly amazing bus journey. Amazing hotel room and view for fifteen dollars.

[@EmblematicChalk100]

The little village 7.20 onwards is called 'Rautu Ki Belli', which roughly translates to 'Valley of Rawats' (Rawat is a common surname in Uttarakhand). I went to school near this place.

[@subadhraramakrishnan8323]

These journeys are really gruelling and stomach churning up and down the mountains, but really worth it. The video really brought back memories when I travelled three times from Jammu to Srinagar and also once from Gauhati to Shillong. The scenes are too good.... Generally people go up to the hills during Summers, but the winter scenes are so good. Winters may have it's perils of snow and landslides though. Thank you once again for bringing back memories.

[@sankalp8656]

Cool filming Gabriel....Music goes really well with the video.Next time u visit uttarakhand make sure u visit places like valley of flowers, badrinath,hemkund sahib,nainital,chopta -tungnath,munsiyari ...Highly recommended.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

On another trip I went to Joshimath and went up towards the Badrinath temple hitching rides with jeeps. However I couldn't make it all the way because once again it was in December, and there was very little traffic going there. I passed right by the Valley of Flowers. Next time I head up there I need to go in summer when it's easier to get around and you can go higher up into the mountains.

[@tamaracollins1491]

Hi, do you ever fly domestically in India? WHen you do, do you check your larger backpack and just carry your day pack on plane? I am nervous about losing a checked bag in India but they have strict weight restrictions for carry ons (15lb 7kg). I do plan to wear all I can to avoid having it in either carry on or checked bag, but even still I will likely have to check a bag. What are your tips?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Hi Tamara, I've flown just once domestically in India. And yes I check my large backpack. I have to because I have a pocketknife, scissors, etc. which you can't take inside the plane with you. My #1 tip is to get a permanent luggage tag on your backpack with your full name, phone number, address and email address on it so just in case it gets lost in a bad way there's a better chance it will come back to you. I've had bags lost several times (not in India) and they always find it eventually. Other than that, just keep your fingers crossed. Have a great trip!

[@tamaracollins1491]

Gabriel Traveler thank you so much!

[@dbtez1212]

Hoping next video is going to be from Israel 🇮🇱

[@al_chemist3099]

Gabriel you should must visit the other part of uttrakhand i.e kumao hills it's really awesome out here so next time you are coming to uttrakhand please consider traveling to Kumao hill i.e nanital , Almora (where I'm from) , bageshwar ,pithoragarh..etc

[@jacobtrr]

Gabriel ...if ur coming to india again ....u must visit Hyderabad ..really a great place to visit

[@breadandcircus1]

I guess the hotel owners do NOT wash the sheets after a guest spends the night there. They do not have washers and dryers, right? Gosh, the thought of staying there......

[@SerFooTube]

such an epic place!!

[@stoplookingformyname3721]

The problem with living in a place like that would be if you would need urgent medical care you're in big trouble

[@kutchch]

do you trek a lot..??..u have gotten thinner than u were in ur previous videos..!!

[@atinderpalsingh8154]

VERY GOOD ALL VIDEOS BRO KEEP IT UP 👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪

[@TheBaywork]

Are we in heaven at 9:03? Magnificent shot.

[@pat2row]

Thought you might be heading back to Ukiah as I was hoping to see your hiking spots after the October 🔥. Glad your relatives got through safely. Maybe I‘ll try to get up there from SF. It‘s good to hear you’re still pursuing more adventures as it would seem normal travelers would need to slow down after the intensity of Indian travel.

[@Anand-kv1ix]

Please come and visit North East India especially Meghalaya and Arunachal pradesh aka (Scotland of India) untouched nature i hope you will love it.

[@lotuseaters7101]

I want to travel in Himalaya like you

[@triple_gem_shining]

Loved this video. Glad you captured this bus trip. Absolutely beautiful scenery. Blessed to see this. Have a great weekend gabe! Cant wait for the next one!!

[@yishaidavidi8833]

Yes, there is the pyramid @11:40 pretty cool. While you are traveling in the land of Put of the sons of Ham Noah's boy. India is one of the 70 nations or peoples on this Earth. Peace:)

Great video, I been myself wanting to edit my footages for such a long time. My trip from mussourie to Barkot to Uttarakashi was as wonerful as this !!

[@christoslowrider7638]

Dear gab, talk more about what you think of the people and what changed since your last visit etc.. awesome place and awesome video as always.

[@supratimbhunia8063]

Really good scenic beauty of Himalaya you have captured. I wish I can go there and enjoy one day as like u. Thanks

Cool, thanks man, appreciate it.

[@ytviewer172]

Where do the people that live in those little houses on the middle of the cliff @9:55 get their daily water from and how do they go up to the road above? What about landslide?

[@AryaInk]

*Middle East* ? :o Don't go to Syria, Iraq and Yemen and Afghanistan

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Good advice. Although Afghanistan could be okay, I recently watched a guy's video from the mountains in Afghanistan that was incredible. Not planning to go there though.

[@AryaInk]

Afghanistan is beautiful, I wish it was peaceful, but it's not. More then 50% of the territory is now under Taliban control(again).

[@JeniferCornell]

Gabriel Traveler Gabe please be safe in the Middle East. Signed- Your fan from Virginia.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks Jen, definitely.

[@tejasvi18joshi]

Prashant Vikal Afghanistan is not in middle east. 1000 years back it was part of Indian civilization and Hindu Buddhist majority. Last Hindu dynasty was pala dynasty and king was Jai Pala in 1110.

[@erwindegroot8337]

What is special for you in the Hindu temple?

[@sukhikaur6065]

Hi Gabriel there is one suggestion for you while traveling in IndiA stay in Sikh gurudwara it is free if they charge it’s very minimal n free food or langar for all people which is hygienic n delicious.here u find peace of mind n r v safe.i mostly stayed in gurudwara u can search it online or on google maps.

[@lakebaikal5]

Sukhi Kaur I stayed in a gurdwara last year. There very lots of mosquitoes there, bigger than houseflies. I ran from there at 2:00am in the night and after 1 day I suffered from malaria. 😞😞😞😞😞

Thanks Gabriel for the video and have a great journey ahead to Middle East

cpts lpts Makes good sense then.....☺

[@rahuplvetal]

breadandcircus1..What do you call societies where meat is like a staple food and all the stray animals are gotten rid of just to make cities beautiful ..Animals,rivers ,trees and birds are respected in Indian culture from centuries.India tops the world when it comes to vegetarians .But now,yes animal cruelty does exist just like in your so called First world countries but in a different form.Nobody can deny that.
