Great video.... I'm seriously thinking about heading out to India next year...usually I go to Turkey almost every year but India is going to be high on my list. Love those hammocks you were showing that lady was selling....and those bazaars. Thanks again for sharing your amazing videos. But come to Ontario in the north....we have thousands of lakes there and great woods to hike in....and my city of Toronto is amazing, it's very diverse.

[@karanjanzisa4593]

This literally made me cry! Spent a wekk in Hampi back in 2013 and it was magical. Wanted to right about it but my memory is so hazy which is how I came by this wonderful video. Makes me feel like I am back there again. Stayed in a rambling dilapidated guesthouse farther into the rice fields owned by this tough but wonderful woman whose name I do not remember. She is one of the only people with a car in the area and rides her scooter almost everywhere. Do not know if you might know who I am talking about. She's Indian but quite modern and progressive. I would love to reconnect with her.

[@dekosochbolosuch]

Cool, glad to hear it.

[@suyogbonde6741]

Thanks a lot for sharing 👌👌🙏

[@bryanrodriguez2671]

Love the video bro

[@andreassmith7773]

Gabriel, I recommend that you always carry a stick in India: first, in case you are walking through grass and therefore need to warn the snakes, especially cobras, that you might disturb and that could be dangerous; second, so that you have protection against the occasional aggressive dog or monkey. I love your videos and have enjoyed discovering new places and returning to places I know well, such as Hampi and Gokarna, during the Covid lockdown in the United Kingdom. You should have gone for a swim in the reservoir on this side of Hampi. The water is beautifully cool and you were quite near to it.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I agree, carrying a stick is a good idea. I've been swimming in the reservoir a few times on different visits.

[@Cheeseatingjunglista]

Vijaynagar - that rail used to have some well crazed hippies living in the bush beside it -magic place

[@spikedawg1970]

Looks like a very ancient place. I've never heard of Hampi before, so I credit KZbin's Autoplay for bringing me here. But I can already tell that there is far more to this place than everyone notices. It also looked like an excavation was in progress on that long straight path you were walking. Around the 11 minute mark, the stones nearly looked like a foundation to an ancient megalithic structure, and that very well could be, I'm almost certain you were over the top of a vast underground complex perhaps like those in Turkey in the Cappadocia region. Or maybe I'm just wicked baked at the moment, but thanks for posting, I'm definitely curious about this place now.

[@Jan.99]

Awesome.! What camera do you use btw these days? The video quality is cool.!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Glad to hear it's looking good. This is all filmed with my Iconntechs camera.

[@Erict887]

i was curious about the weather here and saw its way up around 99 degrees! you're pretty tough walking around in that kind of weather!!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks, yeah it gets brutal in the afternoon. After I finished filming I got under that pavilion where the people were playing music and hung out in the shade for a while and listened to them jamming, pretty sweet. The couple was from Berlin, Germany.

[@BenzionMenashe]

Hay Gabriel, about the "Dudu falafel" it's the name of the restaurant, falafel is a middle Eastern food made with chickpeas and Dudu is probably the name of the owner it's a "cuteified" form of David like Gabe for Gabriel ;) so if you have time go try it, although I personally prefer the Sabik... better yet, maybe come to Israel and have the original ;) (let me know if you do, I'll be happy to show you around :) )

[@BenzionMenashe]

names can have more than one cuteified version

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yeah in this part of the world it would be Dave, lots of Daves around. But anyway, I would be happy to try one in Israel itself and I'll even be okay with the nickname.

[@kmac3040]

Congrats on 70K subs !

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks, it's a pretty awesome number for sure.

[@deepak696]

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I have three cameras right now. This video was all filmed with my Iconntechs camera, the full name is in the info section. Thanks for subbing!

[@deepak696]

Gabriel Traveler: we see folks enquiring abt camera used in each video(even though it's always there below desciption), perhaps you may consider adding a line at the very end in the video itself!!

I just visited one week back.. beautiful place one of the richest market in the world ..in srikrishnadevaraya times

[@pavangangal3587]

500 yrs ago this was like today's newyork of world..even u cant see such quality infrastructure in today's india

[@silablueray5690]

have you been to the mango tree? is there still that lovely swing?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

They moved the restaurant into town actually. I walked over there and discovered it wasn't there anymore. Maybe they realized they would get more business right in town. It was just around the corner from my guest house so I went there several times.

[@hrishi9467]

Plz visit Ellora caves, Gabriel

[@jaymac3113]

The "dudu waffle" made me laugh lol good one.

[@BenzionMenashe]

jaymac3113 Dudu falafel, see my comment ;)

[@enamul_avik]

lol in some places ''DUDU'' means boobs ...

[@publiedos]

Hi,,, I generally like your videos Gabriel but from time to time (and this is one of this) is the perfect way of being dizzy from those side to side quick movements... I cannot see it the whole video (and some other more) because of this shaking stressful side to side movement... Just my opinion but I am pretty sure if you avoid those movements would be SO MUCH pleasant to watch this and other of your vids.... ; )

[@abhidita143]

@9:41 that guy was offended by "mowgli", he thought gabriel calling him jungle boy

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Haha, woops.

[@suchandranathrrm.]

Thanks for you. plz vist again.

[@fredflight9498]

Yeah that little temple on the hilltop you went to at the end was from the Vijaynagar time but they came along a few years back and put little cement idols all over it when they made the shelter. Looks bizzare now almost spooky especially with all the broken little cement gods littered around. Shame as it was nice before.

[@ErichHiller44]

maybe I'll set the song at 6:04 as my alarm clock lol.

[@tubefootage8541]

😢i badly miss Hampi

[@southwestexplorer8905]

Love the soundtrack gabe do they still have the signs warning about being drugged and kidnapped on those paths especially over by the waterfalls safe travels

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Didn't see any signs about that or hear any bad stories. Maybe something happened in the past.

[@michaelprodonovich4392]

Gabriel, what is your plan for the year/next few months- if you even have a plan. Any countries on your mind that you haven't been to yet?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I'm flying back to the United States in a week. I'll be house sitting at my mom's house for about a month while she's gone. After that I have no idea yet, I'll be figuring it out.

[@ytviewer172]

Gabriel, you made it to the temple, but starting from 11:50 onward the camera was moving quickly around and it was difficult to watch the temple and the scenery.

[@Lookup2Wakeup]

Yeh, I was nearly sick ......... :-)

[@shafeekkr3936]

Make a video on Kerala,

[@mingkern5618]

Hey Gabriel, great videos and info. Did you explore Hampi by foot? it is possible to explore hampi by walking? And how many days would you advice to stay in Hampi? Cheers and thanks !

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yes, I walked all over Hampi. You can also rent a bike which is a great way to get around (but you can't easily take it across the river), or you can rent a motor scooter. Have fun, it's an incredible place to explore.

[@gpg4424]

i live in india , and i see and know most of it through youtube videos made by non indians.😆

[@jagdishsuthar1708]

ME AND MOST IN INDIA PEOPLE LESS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PLACE SEPECIALLY IN NORTH INDIA KISHKINDHA BIRTH PLACE OF HANUMAN BUT NAME CHANGED AS HUMPI PEOPLE LESS AWARE OF THE PLACE IMPORTANCE AND FORGOTTEN AND ASSUME THAT KISHKINDHA IS ONLY A EPIC NOT CERTAIN IT'S EXISTENCE Very nice place Humpy actually Vijay nagar means victory city build by King krishna dev There is a temple name krishna I did LASER SCANNING OF THAT WHOLE TEMPLE IN AND OUT AND IT'S EVERY CORNER BY LASER SCANNING MENT FOR DIGITAL RECORDING AND IT PRESENT SITUATION FOR RESTORATION WORK IT TAKES ME 20 DAYS A NICE PLACE I HAVE READ ABOUT VIJAY NAGER AND TELLS OF TENALIRAMA

[@Memorygkgs]

Growing rice🤗 green green.....Love green

[@paulsandhu7313]

I was there last week, and the most interesting parts are not the temples but the megalithic pyramidal hills / mountains all around that are the real much older ruins of civilizations that were most likely built by giants, by races of much larger beings than present day mankind. The histories we are taught are not all to be trusted, neither are many of the ruins, such as I saw in Vittale Temple, which, very obviously, has structures from different epochs on top of each other. Some of them very recent, being passed off as ‘ancient’. There is repair work going on where they are creating statues and works of art that will be passed off as hundreds of years old in the very near future, after some intentional discolouration has been applied!

[@nkstudios4947]

Hampi is the place.

[@manjunathkajagar8896]

Your hampi toor is very nice whare you from.

This place is not an ordinary one . This was a empire at the time of ramayan of Bali go and check the videos It will satisfy you. My words are less for such an pure and divine place if you believe. As It's said in india If you believe God is in a stone it is and if u don't the stone is just a stone.

[@kapilsharma-mu6yi]
