Walking with a camera and talking through this chaos (and debilitating heat) is not easy. And you keep your calm face. I like the honesty of your narratives in your vlogs too. Not too many do this way ! A great job !

[@NomadShifu]

A unique land of vibrant colours, breathtaking landscapes and rich history, India is unlike any other. From the writhing streets of Mumbai to the idyllic shores of the Andaman Islands, this remarkable country offers a diverse feast for the senses.

[@BandenTCY]

I sure won't ever live there in my life, just imagine all the car honks and cramped roads to drive in... as a daily driver I can't handle that lol

[@Timoriss]

Yes, new videos of india! Those are your best episodes! They remind me so much of my time in india, you really bring back all the good memories with your videos gabriel, thank you so much!

[@patwilkinson2182]

Beautiful walk with you through Delhi!

[@vivekra]

The monsoon can also be an enjoyable time in some parts of India. There is a whole monsoon tourist scene in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra and also Goa and Karnataka. It's fun to get wet in the rain while climbing the hills through the clouds. Everything is lush and green and you will see a different aspect of India. You should look at the monsoon trekking videos.

[@arvindgoudar1586]

Looks like you have handled the Delhi Touts before !! I love the friendly conversation you have with them without losing your patience ..😅😅

[@kinnutrekker6963]

Both namaskar and the popular variant namaste have the same root word in Sanskrit: namas, which means “bowing or homage.” Namaskar is made up of the root words namas and kara, meaning “doing,” while namaste is made up of namas and te, meaning “you.”

[@SomewhereInIndiana1816]

Enjoyed the video! Thanks for taking us with you ☺️

[@1megavideoschannel]

Namaskar is attained from Sanskrit word meaning to bow down in respect to the divine energy, while Namaste is attained from Sanskrit word meaning to greet in respect to the other person. Namaskar is used only for the elder people, higher authorities etc while Namaste is used by everyone including young people too. In south of India you can use Namaskaram

[@junaid42465]

Also, it depends on the language. Like in Assamese and Bengali (Odiya, I’m not sure) its “Nomoskar”, North, West and Central India normally use “Namaste” and in south it’s “Namaskaram”. I’m from Assam, so “Nomoskar” 🙏

[@That_Idiot_Bass_Player]

Love that you’re back in India 🇮🇳 I agree, it’s a land of such contradiction and that is what makes it such a rich place to experience. Your love of the country really comes across. I would put India up there as the No.1 travel experience!

[@electrarelic]

Really enjoyed this unedited walk through Delhi . Such an amazing sight it's difficult to understand how everybody avoids each other. Also amazing not to see one piece of graffiti. Unlike like the video I just saw in Athens with Johnny FD. Thanks for these Indian videos ,so interesting.

[@ggghhjd]

personally i always feel relieved to leave Delhi...it's every man for himself there in my experience...it wears me down and i think as it gets hotter it becomes more unbearable there...i flew to Bodh Gaya from Delhi and then to Benares and it was a different world and much calmer. It's wonderful to see India again and i wish you good travels there.

[@doctorgamez2410]

Yeah big cities in India are very hectic there is a lot of fun in visiting the smaller places. Shimla, Dharamshala, Amritsar, and Gangtok are my personal favorites.

[@samewalt6486]

I really love your India videos. Hope you go back soon. They are lots more interesting than hanging out at the beach all over the place. But I guess many people like that sort of thing. Thank you for your work. I appreciate it.

During Monsoon time you can visit entire Meghalaya(June to August). The capital is Shillong. It is called the Scotland of the East. It is situated north east Region 3 hrs from the Gauhati city( the capital of Assam). And please visit Darjeeling, Sandakfu and North Sikkim during summer season when you can see the beautiful mountain range of Kanchanjangha. Thanks

[@TravelingEddie]

@@GabrielTravelerVideos Gabe the audio is good. The video quality is not as good. I compared this vlog to the latest one by another dude traveling in India right now and his video quality is excellent. I don't know what cam 🎥 he's using. Have you ever used a gimbal with the action cam you have? They really stabilize the video a whole lot thus creating a very crisp video image. I lived the walk through old Delhi and you took my down memory lane as I had gone to the Jama Masjid and the market place in front of it in 2019 plus where you start the vlog in front of the Jain temple. When I was there that whole street was under renovation all the way down. I went to Haldi Ram's sweet 🧁 shop and restaurant. Awesome 👍🏻 sweets and food.

[@TravelingEddie]

@@GabrielTravelerVideos One more thing about using a gimbal is that it makes it smoother when we are turning the cam 🎥 left and right and as a result people who suffer from motion sickness won't get dizzy. Better audience retention with that.

[@exchangeyo]

Gabe , do you remember how I recommended that hotel for you in Darjeeling with views of the mountains in your earlier video? Here's two more to consider, 1) Hotel Capital which is next door to Hotel Dekeling and 2) Planters Club which has a lot of history as the establishment was built by the British for the Tea Plantation Managers and Assitants in the late 1800s. Today it is open to the public and very reasonably priced. Stay in the upstairs rooms to get a good view if you decide to stay at the Club.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Great, thanks again for the tips.

[@XxDemB0nesxX]

As a Connoisseur of fine whiskey, I recommend you try India's Bagpiper Whiskey brand, I'd rank it among the best in the world in terms of taste and quality -- light malty aroma, smooth woody character, Gabe.

[@cookmaster3626]

Its ironic that I Grew up in Delhi, passed by Red Fort and Jama Masjid every day on my way to college for 3 years taking a connecting Bus at Red Fort Bus stop to the Univ campus and never got to go inside the Jama Masjid or the Red Fort, and now seeing inside the Jama Masjid thru the camera of a fellow American traveler.

Google Maps works without internet too. We just need to select an area and save it as an offline map. Now we can use it for navigation as a car. Walking directions don’t work with offline maps.

[@noreenoshea2883]

great video.. lovely view of the city

[@ropersix]

If I remember correctly, getting back to Paharganj from the Chandni Chowk area requires crossing over the trail tracks, which complicates things when you're on foot. So a rickshaw's probably the way to go.

[@pleasantjourneys]

While in lockdown in Goa 2020, we enjoyed 'rainy season' May-August

[@lindenhardy9021]

WHERE DOES NAMASKAR COME FROM? namaskar Both namaskar and the popular variant namaste have the same root word in Sanskrit: namas, which means “bowing or homage.” Namaskar is made up of the root words namas and kara, meaning “doing,” while namaste is made up of namas and te, meaning “you.” As such, namaskar and namaste are both respectful and very formal salutations roughly translating as “I bow (to you).” Namaste can be used in Hinduism specifically to acknowledge the divinity in another person or god. Namaskar is most often accompanied by a particular mudra, or gesture, in which a person presses their palms together by the forehead or the chest. Namaskar can also be accompanied with a bow.

[@thebrokenconcept4526]

"Hindustan" refers to the land East of the Indus river, and not land of the Hindus. Afghanistan, Pakistan, XInjiang and even Indonesia were all Hindu lands until the 13th century

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Debatable and not clearly defined it seems: "Hindustan (Persian: هندوستان, audio speaker iconpronunciation (help·info), along with its shortened form Hind (هند),[1] is the Persian name for India, broadly the Indian subcontinent, which later became used by its inhabitants in Hindi-Urdu (Hindustani).[2][3][4][5] Other toponyms of the subcontinent include Jambudvipa, Bharata, and India. After the Partition of India, it continues to be used as a historic name for the Republic of India.[6][7][8] A secondary meaning of Hindustan is as a geographic term for the Indo-Gangetic Plain in northern India."

[@thebrokenconcept4526]

@I know nobody cares but That seems logical, however the Hindus were named after the Indus river which was pronounced as "Indoos"

This is one of the most irritating bs scams of Delhi, the ‘entrance fee’ for the Jama Masjid. A voluntary donation is one thing but barring entry to a house of God because you won’t/can’t pay is awful. Those guys are nothing to do with the mosque authorities and any Muslim worth their salt will tell you it’s highly immoral-at best- to charge people money to enter. Next time look em in the eye, say “Astugfirallah!!” and walk on.

[@Gemelli2906]

Catholic church does too (donation basket 🙄)

[@helloquico]

I remember going into the Jama Masjid during my visit to Delhi in January of 2020. I don't remember paying anything to go in. So i was shocked this happened to him.

[@unklemunky8992]

@@Gemelli2906 Whilst I’m no fan of the Catholic Church a donation is a donation & voluntary. Physically barring entry unless money is extorted is outrageous.

[@suddole]

completely agree with you that it is a scam. On the Delhi tourism website it says, the entry fee is only if you want to do photography not if you are just visiting. So this is a loophole they have created (scamsters are smart, you have to give them that!). Foreigners are least likely to argue abt it, and they know that. Don't overlook the fact that since they are sitting there openly and charging money, not only the police and government babus but, the whole masjid administration, imam etc must be in it!

Pleasure to know you are visiting Kolkata. It's called "City of Joy".It's also known for people's elegant culture. So many great soul born here. Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda, Rabindranath Tagore, Rishi Aravindo, Raja Rammohan Roy, Iswar Chandra Vidya Sagar and so on. All have contributed a lot in social reforms in all over India. Though it saddens me sometimes observing somehow now a days society reversing back from great men's ideology. Anyway, you may visit Victoria Memorial, Fort William Kolkata , Howrah Bridge, Belur Math, Kolkata Indian Museum ( one of the oldest Museum in the world), St.Paul's Cathedral Kolkata(said to be the first cathedral built in the overseas). Visit Rabindra Sarovar very early in the morning, peaceful. Most importantly don't miss " Botanical Garden" founded by Robert Kyd in 1787. Here the "Great Banyan Tree" will amaze you. Many more you can explore. You may visit few kilometers away from Kolkata- the world largest Delta "the Ganges Delta" along the bay of Bengal. Then you may head towards Darjeeling in North Bengal. I must assure you you will enjoy your trekking. Many more you can explore there.

The Hindu in Hindustan doesn't mean people following Hindu faith, it means people who live east of Indus river (which is in Pakistan now). In Arabic India is known as Hind and Indian as Hindu no matter what religion one follows. This Hind has come from the word Sind which is River Indus in English. In India one can river Indus in Ladakh but it most flows in Pakistan.

Hi Mark, thanks for watching. Not exactly sure about the police dividers but I guess to keep traffic in order to some extent. As for restaurants, I just eat wherever looks good, that's it. I've been lucky to avoid food poisoning in India so far. Not everyone does but it's hard to know where you might have a problem. Best tip is to make sure and eat freshly prepared food that hasn't been sitting around. Cheers.
