Gabriel Traveler Gabe! hope you remember me, Ive been a long time viewer. have you heard of Bir? its a beautiful village in Himachal... i have a coffee shop there.. you should check the village out. i think you will love it! i can help you find cheap places to stay!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Hi, no I've never heard of Bir. Will take a look. Thanks.

[@humanhuman1038]

Gabriel Traveler love your videos. I am an Indian and watching India through your eyes.

[@sidneyhua1498]

The most authentic and raw travel channel on youtube... loving it

[@mattiashaeger]

Agree 100%!

[@NaturalBeautyGlow]

I love this channel too! For the same reasons

[@JeniferCornell]

Yes, it truly is. One of my favorites 😁

[@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.

Those views were pretty amazing. And nice to see a blue sky in India for a change and clear looking air not so smoggy and dusty. That place you stopped at looked so much like the mountains of California.

[@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.

[@Bpradeep1992]

8:44 my relatives house is 5 km from there and they all hve tvs,bikes ,mobile,internet and car.people now there have all facilities.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

[@PankajMalik2016]

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

[@MarkBH70]

Never seen anything like it!

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@adamjames4340]

Yes 😍 Time to watch another video🙌

[@robertsimmons7172]

Vlog Music No Copyright 👍

[@triple_gem_shining]

Yes I'm binge watching these. I missed a few days and gotta catch up!

[@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!!

[@marlenemcmillan8891]

It is spectacular..the world sure is vast..I'm starting to understand your love for this country

[@Just4Kixs]

So beautiful!

[@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.

[@SerFooTube]

such an epic place!!

[@donstravelsandrants.]

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

[@shikharkr]

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 !!

[@supratimbhunia8063]

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

[@erwindegroot8337]

Great you did film it man, so nice! Love ur books :-)

[@goyaskill]

Great stuff like always Gabriel! If your goal is to inspire people to travel to this amazing places then you're doing it right!

[@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.

[@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 ?

[@SparlingAdventures]

Very cool bus ride through the himalayans!! That's pretty crazy stuff man. Excited for your "middle east" adventure :)

[@NDVC.]

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

U'll make vlogs very instinctively.,thats the best part of u sir..love the video .

[@franklinridderstap2449]

Himalaya series one of my favorites

[@007Saad007]

Your channel is so underrated (or just less famous) than it deserves.

[@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.

[@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.

[@suchismitasaha4509]

My village Pokhri, where you show three towers

[@Singh-p7u]

awesome moment capture

[@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

[@mukeshdhaundiyal8386]

Amazing video of amazing Uttarakhand.

[@vipinchandraab]

wow its awesome place.. i am also from that place sir. nice to see u there sir..

[@HamaraPahad]

Nice trip

[@narierauthan9744]

Great job .. appreciate.

[@mattiashaeger]

Awsome that you're going to the Middle East. I'm thinking about going to Lebanon or Iran myself.

[@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.

[@JeniferCornell]

Very nice video and music.

[@humtum4484]

this is called real traveler

[@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.

[@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!

[@shivammishra3047]

At last you arrive at Queen of mountains and please also go to paltan bazar in Dehradun and eat delicious food specially momoes.....

[@jacobtrr]

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

[@CharlieChaplinVideos]

Next May/June you should be doing Manali Rohtang Leh Khardungla Diksit Leh Pangong

[@lotuseaters7101]

Great

[@kashwar2011]

Nice editing.

[@Anand-kv1ix]

I watched all your videos it is amazing i feel like am adventuring myself, i was lost with you after watching for hour. Keep on really it's really informative and advantageous.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Cool, thanks.

[@muratmurat5128]

Magnificent! 💌

[@thelinthicums]

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]

[@marlenemcmillan8891]

[@lotuseaters7101]

I want to travel in Himalaya like you

[@harrysharma9961]

Nice video Bro keep it up

[@jaywalker4127]

Excellent

[@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.

[@amitabh7816]

Nice

[@manishbishnoi7291]

Namaste 🙏😄

Awsome video

[@hari5ingh]

Background music so good

[@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?

[@goranvuletic8873]

Please don't forget to render video as 50 or 60 FPS, makes a huge difference.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

This one was rendered at 1080p and 60fps. I just checked to make sure it's available that way on youtube and it is. Does this one look good to you?

[@goranvuletic8873]

Sorry, actually my iPad mini stopped showing videos with higher fps rates, I just found out. It simply ignores the option. Everything is fine on my PC. Thanks!

[@PranRai]

Try cloud end resort in Mussoorie..if possible.😊

[@anchalkumar877]

Background music is making the video really good..

[@JeniferCornell]

anchal kumar Agreed.

[@elliott9052]

Great video as always Gabriel! Im planning my first trip to India sometime in the new year and was hoping you or anyone else could tell me what a typical maximum ATM withdrawal I could expect to find?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I think a lot of places have a limit of 10,000 rupees, which is about $150 USD at the current exchange rate, but maybe some have higher. One good thing is that most of the ATMs didn't charge me a withdrawal fee. Only once in Delhi I think. It used to be that they all charged a fee so I'm not sure what happened, but that was a nice surprise on this trip.

[@boxersoho]

Don't keep more than INR 10000 in cash. Most places accept cards or PayTM etc.

[@elliott9052]

Hopefully more than 10,000, otherwise that's a trip to an ATM every 5 days or so and potentially a lot of money in various fees charged over the course of a multi month trip. Will make a big difference if i'm not paying withdrawal fees though at least. Thanks!

[@looneytunes2639]

Gabriel Traveler You can withdraw up to 25 thousand rupees.. 10+10+5 in 3 transactions.

[@arafatbaunto4068]

May I know does someone sponsoring financially your travel or just by your personal budget?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

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

Cool, thanks man, appreciate it.

[@varunb82]

Sad to see tree less hills. Its aupposed to be lush green

[@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...

[@Swastik_deshmukh]

wow so beautifull 👌

[@hariomsharma2312]

What is name of place which you are shooting from bus

[@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. 😞😞😞😞😞

[@ax6070]

Gabe, did you get the new camera?(mentioned in of your videos)(@lelitibru)

[@anthonystar]

At the start with all that gear Gabriel you carried, I wondered how much it must weigh?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Not sure but my pack has gotten a bit heavy because I had to buy extra clothes for going into the Himalayas, bought a new book that's massive, then bought some more t-shirts when I got back to Delhi. It's stuffed to the gills at this point.

[@gato7908]

Nice room for $15 although I'm wondering about the height and position of the mirror adjacent to the bed 🤔
