My honest prayers 🙏🙏 to all those who lost their lives in that Earthquake.. May there soul rest in peace .🙏🙏

[@JeniferCornell]

Yash wardhan 😢🙏

[@guillermodozal628]

Yash, where do you get the idea of the existence of souls? It’s just wishful thinking on your part that keeps you content. But it doesn’t pass the test of scrutiny. It’s just a simple fallacy; get woked!

[@ksd593]

@@guillermodozal628 what? consciousness has no existence?

[@ch4nfu]

Thumbs up if you came here after watching Harald Baldrs Trek 👍🏻

[@MrPetalhead]

I suffer from MS so will never be able to do this, but this is the next best thing THANK YOU

[@loganhoward5200]

@anthony davis you're a fuck head mate

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Clive, pay no attention to anthony. We can all appreciate this storytelling. I hope that you find the best joy you can for always!

[@reddiamond6688]

Clive I am with you. I too have only one healthy foot. The other has nerve damage. Its good to see these videos. Stay healthy and keep your spirit up.

[@themissdior1235]

Sorry to hear that Clive .

[@martinrooney2089]

God bless you Clive.

[@Baldcafe]

I couldn’t turn this video off. Absolutely fantastic

[@dipanjandhakal8561]

Yeah simply come to nepal😍 warmly welcome to you

[@OwnRules]

Like your style, dude - no artificial drama nor corny ‘jokes’ to own the libs, just show the terrain and a glimpse of the lifestyle, give some facts, and let the viewer reach their own conclusions. As they say, different strokes…and likely a more mature/older audience. Well done.

[@losbopfos5637]

I watched your video 4 weeks ago before I flew there myself. When I first watched your video, I was still thinking, "Oh God, what have I gotten myself into?" I had never been on a vacation like this before in my life, been there for 3 weeks now, and I've been back home since last Thursday. I can say without a doubt that this trip was the best thing I have done in many years. I recognized many of the places in your video now watching it again. The whole vacation was indescribably beautiful. The people, the nature and (even) the food. It's like another world for a German, like me.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

That's amazing, glad to hear you had an epic trip. 👍✌

[@jacoblaukaitis]

Gabriel, so incredible you did this trek just a little later after we met. I’ll make sure to do it myself as soon as I possibly can. Keep exploring! 🙏🔥

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Absolutely Jacob, you would love the Himalayas. The ultimate adventure. Keep exploring!

[@mrdhaval4]

Watching this after hearld balder dec 2021 series, so much change in 2 years

[@razvan0312]

Seen this video 5 times, again today after the herald badrl video. I m sure that you have the best advice

[@travelthetropics6190]

Hey mate, learned about your channel from Harald's video and then watched your video on Harald, and found this from the end card. This is simply amazing! But it is heart breaking to see the buried Langtang village with more than 200 souls.

An epic anthology of your earlier videos. Thank you, Gabriel, for showing your full trip up in a single video. You should be nominated for an Oscar.

[@calvincrane]

It really makes me think about what it could have been like in that moment of an earthquake realising the sheer power of the worlds forces and how insignificant we all are. You did a great job of editing and bringing this village to many people's minds. 🙏

[@matthias7569]

I'm convinced KZbin has dislike bots to even like outs because how could anyone dislike this video?!?

[@Roy-kq3cv]

dislikes are from the other trekkers with a camera

During these crazy times, it's great to watch videos like this. Thank you!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Excellent, glad you enjoyed Brian. Have a good one.

[@CaptPARAS]

Thank you for visiting Nepal! ❤️🇳🇵🔥

[@raychul33]

Found this channel thru Haralds recent trip. Amazing stuff. Not something I’ve ever considered doing, but now I really want to. Thanks for inspiring me!

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Your videos are so genuine and authentic - limited editing, no effects, no color grading etc. It's refreshing.

[@hrvoje_bartolin]

Men, you're been two times on Himalaya. Respect 😁

[@bradleywells1071]

Harald Baldr talks more to the ladies which is very entertaining.

[@DM-hw4cr]

I like this more than the Herald version where he is bonking from not eating before the hike. He left the lodge you stayed at pissed off becsuse they wouldnt offer him tea in the morning..lol

[@vandankhambhata1280]

Gabriel, What an amazing video! Just randomly searched for trekking in the Himalayas and found this video. Man, it should've already got a million views...! You've got one more subscriber😉😁 I'm just loving it! Keep sharing☺🧡

[@innaninna9205]

I am saving for my trip to Kathmandu Nepal 😍 I hope is great as I hope it would be 😁

[@UjyaloGyan]

Im watching this video from South Korea 🇰🇷!! You inspired me to go that treak on the himalayas !!definately I will go there one day with my wife!!

[@Djirologija]

This video I keep coming back to and it makes me happy every time! I keep looking forward to going to the Himalayas myself, and it looks like that might happen later this year. Until then, just wanted to say what a wonderful guide you've made, and that you've given this place the justice it deserves, without editing the sound and adding music over. You brought these mountains closer to the viewer. :) Keep it up Gabriel, hope to see more treks from you in this region in the future!

[@nestor140]

Dude i found your channel yesterday and you just keep walking the exact same footsteps i did in India and Nepal. The Goa, Gokarna, Hampi episode and now the Langtang trail is basically reliving my journey with you as a travel buddy :) Thank you very much for this! Sadly it looks like one of the lodges where we stayed just below Langtang Village does not exist anymore still hoping the lovely Pema and his Family are alive. But happy to see other familiar faces still alive. Keep exploring :)

[@JeniferCornell]

Yay! I ❤️ Gabe Movies! Will watch on the big screen. With popcorn 🍿😁 Thanks for making this! I love your Nepal 🇳🇵 Videos 👍🏻

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Cool, enjoy.

[@MsCasualviewer]

Love the hour long straight through style way better than the 10-20 min i"ndividual parts" vlogs. I can just put this on and sit back and watchg it like a feature film.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Cool.

Beautiful scenery really incredible thank you for sharing this, what a dream place and great effort to capture it all!

[@sureiguess1]

Lots of rocks covered in small to medium to large amounts of snow. THIS is why we came here.

[@bluwtrgypsy]

Fantastic video. What a wonderful experience. I prayed for the lost souls at Langtang Village. Thank you for such a great educational trek. Blessings

[@deanwinchester6654]

Video made me want to try this trek out in the future. Looks really beautiful and interesting.

[@neerajanlamsal3891]

Awesome presentation. I like the way you explain how to adjust in different situations than complaining. Keep traveling and creating new videos. Best wishes.

[@Rahulkumar-xh3ng]

Incredible Movie! I watched it till the end! I am a big fan of you man, incredible traveller! Hope to cross the same path someday in future! Cheee... Keep Rocking..

[@moadnan617]

probably the first video(after movies of course) of more than an hour i have watched from the start to the finish on youtube! coz every second was a treat, very interesting!!!

[@chilibaldrr840]

Guess I will watch Gabriel's older videos for the time being. Gabriel, Harold Baldr and Bald and Bankrupt all on a well deserved break, the three best travel vlog channels on KZbin

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks. New video coming soon, maybe tomorrow.

[@RajeevKumar-tt9vd]

I can see that you are visiting Himalayas again and again bro...........As they say...once you fall in love with the worlds highest .........you keep coming back..........Try and explore more parts of Leh, Himachal, Uttrakhand, Kashmir......on bike and on foot.....Cheers bro.........Love from India

[@Coffeephile]

Absolutely amazing

[@johnd746]

All the people you met seemed to be wonderful, loving people. Isn't it amazing how they all speak at least a little English. We are so lucky when we travel that so many people speak English. So sad about the village being buried by the earthquake, and landslide.

[@FaiscaaaH]

Way to go Gabriel !!! Another great video.

[@MrBlurpBlurp-hg3dj]

This is even better than some Colorado trail I've been before. This is great place, people are friendly, accommodating.

[@saurabhjoshi9411]

Amazing compilation once again...it feels so good that someone is actually following his passion whole heartedly... While I am sitting hear watching vids not able to come out of job and daily routine and getting bit jealous 😒😕😅

[@Charityprincess]

Thank you what a beautiful video..such beauty...what an experience for you...it's beautiful thank you again

[@5335816]

Great videos, really appreciate all the work that goes into them. I've done a couple of Annapurna treks and can't imagine doing all the extra walking you must do to film the trek too! This makes me want to trek but I've just had a baby so armchair travelling with you for a bit!

[@naturoganism1641]

Never clicked the notification so fast 🤩 love your work Gabriel

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Cool, thanks.

[@naturoganism1641]

Keep doing what you’re doing Gabriel ✌️ Good luck

[@melmccall4850]

I did this trek in 2002 and yes the bus from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi was also the scariest bus journey ever !!!

[@destinationsunknowntheroadsles]

I am pretty sure Nepal will be the next country I visit in the area. I could easily spend a few months there just wandering. After over a year being trapped on an island in the cold north and still snowing its slowly killing me not being able to move. Just sort of spoiled like yourself traveling everywhere. It is not a life for most people but in my case I feel blessed.

[@brandonalexandersmith74]

I'm glad you finally started saying Langtang correctly at around 1 hour in. Also, would be nice if you respect the customs by walking on the left side of the mani wall and stupa. It's a great sign of disrespect not to walk on the left of this sacred sites. Many stupas (not all obviously) contain relics of monks. I was here in 2003 and yes, it's grown tremendously. Shame about the landslide but it happens a lot in the Himalaya.

[@erickwilberding5786]

Great travelogue, very adventurous but you make it seem approachable. Thanks.

[@Vikermajit]

You are a good man, helping the locals earn a living, and exchanging ideas and views with others...cool...awesome videography....

[@gshrdy5415]

I am from India, never seen anything like this before, so beautiful, in 21 century, I did some hiking when I was 12 and 17 years old south of Hyderabad in small mountains.

This is my favourite channel. I especially like it when you explain everything so nicely. I wish you a lot of success with the channel and happy life. You have inspired me to start documenting my travels as well. More power to you!

[@onelifetime5874]

I'm from Nepal and I haven't been there. You are amazing man. I would like to request about video front description, if you had mention Nepal. Thus video would get more popularity. Nepal is soo welcoming that everyone gets appreciation from them. Nepal/india same that they worship guest as a Laxmi which means God of money.

[@kelvinyschun]

Great video... i want to return for 3rd time...Maybe solo

[@mbhang834]

I have been lately binge watching your videos - wonderful and informative. Kind of late to be posting this here - on languages you mention. Hindi and Nepali are from the Indo European language family (the Indo iranian branch of Indo European language family), while Tibetan is from the Tibeto Burman language family, so they are totally unrelated. As for Tibetan people - yes National borders and Nations are relatively new constructs - and people would migrate and flow quite a bit in the past. Tibetan people are related to a lot of other people in India/Nepal/Tibet/Bhutan. Sherpas of nepal are a Tibetan group. Ladakhis and Sikkimese of India (Bhutias and Lepchas tribes of Sikkim), and Bhutanese people are also of Tibetan origin and speak a similar language. Another interesting factoid - we now know that Tibetan people have picked up genes from an archaic human branch called Denisovans (just like Non Africans have Neanderthal genes). These genes are especially adept at providing protection from hypoxia and pulmonary edema at high altitudes.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Good to know, thanks for the info.
