UNEXPLORED INDIA: A Himalayan Backpacking Adventure

[@woltersworld]

Look how young you were!!! A baby!! Love when i get one of your old video randomly served up to me. Hope you are well and i totally never expect you to respond to this one as it is 4 years old. :)

[@Jasna1111]

Gabriel, you're my inspiration! I'll go from Croatia to India end of year.. Delhi - Rishikesh - Varanasi - Chennai - Tiruvannamalai - Goa - Delhi.. Love you storys! ❤😘

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Great, sounds like an excellent itinerary for India. How long will you be there? You're from Croatia? I want to go back there to see more.

[@Jasna1111]

Gabriel Traveler I have only 3weeks for India, but I will use night trains and 3 flights to save time. Yes, I'm from Croatia . I see U been here also.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I see, sounds good. Yeah I liked Croatia a lot.

[@parthmittal3768]

So Ms Jasna, how was your experience? :)

[@CharlieChaplinVideos]

youtube is recommending all your Himalaya 1hour+ videos.. I'm rewatching them all

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Excellent, enjoy.

[@dinamovci1256]

I do not know why, but I keep returning every once and a while to this video/videos. Might be because I first discovered your channel watching this journey, or could be just something magical and peaceful about this.

[@PaiawonApollo]

Done the same Greek trips islands mainland and Crete he captures the vibe that we all feel and his demeanor is cool laid back but his advice is spot on the trip to Aegina he had the same route I had the meals and beers ouzo with fried cheese starter awesome and red wine with main a must kickback the sites ae calling you

[@FromIndiawithlove]

At 1.54 you learned how to live in India, bargain, argue and win, you can easily survive in India

[@JumpingPlaces]

Even though I had watched like 90% of the footage already it was so great seeing it all again, some seriously spectacular views! Once again thanks for showing us raw India, really have some footage here that has probably never been filmed by any other travel vlogger in the world. Thats why we follow you Gabe, Cheers!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Awesome, glad you enjoyed.

[@JumpingPlaces]

Always mate, where are you now?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I'm still in Al Ain (video coming from here next). But I'm heading back to Dubai today for New Year's and then going to Oman.

[@JumpingPlaces]

Cant wait to see the Oman vid! I remember seeing pics of Wadi Shab and it looked great. Will you be going there?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Delayed reaction but nope, didn't make it to Wadi Shab I guess, I haven't heard of it before.

[@claudiaccasco]

Loved this footage, couldn't stop watching once I started, made me feel as if I was there.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Awesome, glad to hear it.

[@The_Third_Eye_3]

seen loads of traveller youtube channels, but gabriel yours is the most authentic unscripted and not staged. a lot of other traveller youtube channels like The Budgeteers just go to tourist spots and dont really show the true nature of the country. you do it magnificently and i hope you become even more successful. Definitely subscribed!!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it.

[@The_Third_Eye_3]

No problem buddy! I'm hoping to go backpacking next year so your videos are really helpful. I'm curious to know what you favourite locations have been?

[@fleurmariaalmeida8960]

Just walking into town ..and capturing the Magic for all of us

[@frlouis3266]

Some gnarly places in India. I would stay at the ashram, get massages everyday and eat all the street food. I'll let the unexplored remain unexplored.

[@DCTravelerExperience]

I am from India I have yet to travel to Char Dhaam (the 4 temples). Watched this movie in one sitting. I knew it was over an hour long before I started it, and yet when it finished it seemed like it ended too soon! Great work traveling and film-making! #DCTraveler

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Excellent, glad you enjoyed it.

[@subhamkarmakar4480]

India is the country of many nation ... India is having all sort of place ... U can find every country flavour in India ...

[@sonapear5367]

i love your videos, reminds me of traveling in india....

[@gabrielsimone3337]

WOW, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING VIDEO, I will rate this video as one of your best ever adventures! Annapurna Trek as number 1, Machu Pichu in Peru number 2, This video number 3 and Japan's Mount Fuji as Number 4, and your Oregon mountain treks as number 5!! Pretty Awesome collection there Gabriel 😁👌✌🤩🤙

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Cool man, glad you enjoyed.

[@marioskublan7273]

India ceases to amaze me. There is that saying that to see the whole of India won’t be covered in a lifetime

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Definitely true.

[@poutygorilla2698]

Thanks! Just what I needed for this miserable cold winter day. Nice to revist this way. Happy New Year sweetheart. I appreciate being able to make these journeys with you ☺

[@alysenmary3835]

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Cool, thanks Jen.

[@youtooaromatherapy1897]

Wow! Thank you for putting me onto BOCrew! Amazing tunes!✨🙏🏻✨

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yeah, they've got some good stuff.

[@gapster46]

I can’t believe I watched this entire video from beginning to end and also followed your travels in this video on Google Earth. The kind of traveling I never got to do other than some second class bus trips in Mexico.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Awesome, thanks a lot for watching, appreciate it.

[@chrisbrown8748]

Awesome can’t wait to watch this on my lunch break.

[@itsalwayssunnyingoa2963]

Been following your content for a long time now. I feel like you're grossly underrated. You deserve a lot more than just 125K subs. Keep entertaining us with your refreshing content. Good luck with all your future adventures.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks a lot, appreciate it.

[@marcs8991]

amazing video Gabriel!

[@babubassa8434]

You should visit Yanam, India. It is a former French colony (part of Union territory of Pondicherry), where a replica of the Effiel tower was built recently. This tower has spectacular views of Bay of Bengal, better landscape than the one in Paris has.

[@TradeTourismIndia]

You are definitely The Citizen of Uttarakhand !!! Love your Mighty Himalayan Videos.

[@loicmartin219]

amazing videos. I'm hooked

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Awesome, thanks.

[@NaturalBeautyGlow]

I’ve watched mostly all your videos and I don’t remember watching these bits. I guess is the fresh spin to it. I like the longer movies too. 🔥

[@krish000ful]

[@Jessicatx956]

Yay Gabe you uploaded a new video so excited to watch it I was waiting since yesterday for it 😀 I just love your channel

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks Jessica. Did you already see these videos when I posted them before? I posted them separately as shorter videos a few weeks ago and then decided to make them into one longer movie.

[@Jessicatx956]

Gabriel Traveler I am seeing them right now and I have seen them all before but anyways they are great to see all over again all in one video like I said before I love your channel and your videos are 👌🏼 hope you upload more tomorrow 🙂

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Cool, glad you don't mind re-watching them. I'll start editing the next video from Al Ain tonight (it's 8pm here right now), will see how far I get with it.

[@Jessicatx956]

Gabriel Traveler thank you I look forward on seeing it when you get a chance on uploading it. Will have my phone on hand to hear that notification bell go on when you upload it 🙂 btw have a good night .

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

[@nantahayala2294]

Love your travels in India and Nepal

[@chillnacho]

Great video! I was in India for the first time in Jan/Feb of this year and even though I've been traveling around Southeast Asia and Central America for the past few years, India was a bit intense, even for me. I think I might be be ready for round 2 though after watching this. You may have inspired me to buy a GoPro and start filming my own videos. :)

[@beschuitfluiter]

Wow, that sure was worth the trip!

[@reflex5976]

Is it true that India has every available terrain in one country

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yeah definitely. From the Himalayas to the desert dunes of Rajasthan. Wettest place on Earth in Meghalaya. Jungle, plains, you name it.

[@manmit_2020]

Bro 123 yes mate! snow capped peaks and glaciers of himalayas. beaches in goa, kovalam,puri, kanyakumari(a place where three oceans meet)dry dessert of the thor in jaisalmeer rajasthan. wettest area of cherapunjee , lakes of the pangong chilka or the dal lake or the nainital. forest in madhypradesh, jim corbett, sunderbans.. islands as in andaman, lakswadeep.. you have it all. :-)

[@vvellai]

Yes. I can vouch for it. Either the landscape or the people, so much diversity and still lively and lovely.

[@anthonystar]

Good luck on your travels Gabe and have a happy New Year => You certainly cover a lot of distance :)

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks a lot and Happy New Year in return.

[@MrGavriel1982]

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

[@lobsangpal924]

Hi Gabriel! I enjoy your vlog very much. Since you are in Northern India. I recommend you to go to Kasol ( little Israel), Malana(Marijuana Heaven), and Khirganga for Hot spring Water.

[@usedbrickie9166]

Very nice, excellent job connecting them all together Gabe. I never get tired watching. Thanks, Happy New Year. Cheers MB

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks and a Happy New Year.

[@RobbertClack]

Wonderful video, never try and get through Rishikesh during festival time, stayed in camping huts, they also had river rafting, which was great

[@philallen9998]

Fantastio!

[@ramila5493]

Thanks Gabriel, for doing some more work on this video...absolutely love it!! Where are you off to after UAE?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I'm going next to Oman in a few days. Will be back in Dubai for New Year's (also because I need to deal with the Sony camera there).

[@ramila5493]

Gabriel Traveler sweet can’t wait for the next video ...

[@dannyd4482]

Loved this vlog & an intro into your travelling. I did a pretty similar road & trekt around 30 years ago. Didn't make it to Gangroti due to being room bound with Delhi Belly. Did make it to the other 3 temples tho. Nothing appears to have changed up there. I'll go back one day. 👍Respect

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I haven't been to any of the four temples yet, so it's a mission to visit them one of these days. I'm sure that the hike up to Gangotri glacier must be incredible.

[@raj-s.]

Thank you for beautiful video

[@somnathmukherjee6090]

Should visit spiti valley and Lahaul in Himachal if you love mountains. That’s the real Himalayan beauty

[@wakiuchi]

Gabriel, thanks for share and entertain us with your experiences in these exotic beautiful places that i have no idea if i ever visit someday, but you`re always doing amazing filming and the videos are so cool to watch, i dont even watch tv anymore for while after subscribed in your channel, lol thanks a lot man, take care.
