GOKARNA | The Best Beaches in India?

[@AverageJoeShmo]

You are the hardest working travel vlogger on You Tube for past two decades and it's a shame the algorithm isn't doing you justice. You deserve much better recognition.

[@daystars-den]

You sure got that right!

[@dreamthedream8929]

I dont know how exactly that works but some youtube channels grow real fast, get monetized in a month or two while for others the growth is steady and slower like for gabriel and william taudien. Another youtuber in travel niche gustavo llusa for example became very successful on youtube, in less than two years from the first youtube video making from 20 to 30 thousand usd/euro a month from youtube alone. Another channel called scenic relaxation which is a voiceless and faceless travel channel also did very well when it comes to subscribers, views and money early on and is still doing well

[@dreammfyre]

I think they effed him during the covid stuff. Maybe he said something or acted in a way the algorithms/AI didn’t like. That would be very Google.

[@deadairconversion]

It’s all about the likes and view duration

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

Gabriel is an intrepid, dogged traveler, no doubt.

[@jampuppy]

How many things I love about your content: stories, historical info, thinking aloud/speculating if you don’t know something, music (I have added countless tunes to my library thanks to you), balanced between showing you and where you’re walking, your respect for cultures, teases about upcoming content without giving it away, editing mastery and frequency of uploads. You are one-of-a-kind, Gabriel!

[@Busybeeee]

3 things you consistently do: great videos, great storytelling, great choice of music.😊

[@anupamdas1811]

The way you spend your quiet time in the pristine nature of those unique beaches of Gokarna looks so authentic in your videos. Those beaches has really a lovely beauty.

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

Gabriel, so much for that promised break, Mate. 😊 Take a deserved week off. Pretend you have COVID for God sakes ... 😉

[@runehakonhelmundsen9225]

Thanks for tips about Gokarna! That seems to be my kind of place, more than Goa beaches. And the next beaches looks even better! If I go to India I will surely check them out! Nice places :)

[@kelseymcnamara]

Love your videos Gabe! You are such a sender! Inspired by your rawness I went to gokarna back in Jan-Feb, vicariously living thru you! I miss it there♥️ Enjoy your travels in mother india

[@jennyoshea1958]

What a peaceful and beautiful oasis, Gabriel. After all your city travels, you definitely deserved this time to swim and soak up the beauty of nature and solitude. With regards to your books, I prefer the virtual experience of travelling along side you, as you go from country to country. I have so many books to read in my real life already, and your videos are my way of relaxing and experiencing the wonders of lands, I will never see. I think your content is great and I do enjoy the stories you tell, but to me your videos do far more than a book would do. Enjoy the rest of your time out and I look forward to hopping on board via your future videos. Joy always 😊⛵🎺✨🪗🎵🙏🌴🌿☀️

[@KabobHope]

Loving the groovy Indian inspired music. Gokarna. Gokarna. It's your birthday. It's your birthday.

[@dennisspackman7147]

Stayed on Om beach for a few days just before global Covid in 2020. It was a lot busier at that time compared to the time of your visit. Was a nice place to unwind after a few months of busy, hectic travel around Southern India.

[@lataadhikari4093]

I love Gokarna more than Goa for its rawness, serenity

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Exactly.

Hope you're enjoying your break Gabe. Definitely wish I was there chief. Have a great day 😀

[@tombuddy100]

That coast and those beaches looks more cosy, idyllic, and less crowded than those beaches in Goa. It must so relaxing and serene spending time around Gokarna.

[@stephenworthington-white8294]

What great part of the world to chill and recharge. I love those beaches. One of the best parties I went to in 2000 was on Paradise beach.We took a boat to get there at night with bright blue phosphorescence lighting up the water!! Have you tried swimming at night yet? Super cool to see the lights. Happy Travels

[@wdp4wdm3a]

The best beaches in Mainland India are in Maharashtra, between Ratnagiri and Vengurla. You should visit those places too, plenty of turquoise water beaches there.

[@SchokoKekseFTW]

Which beaches for example?

[@som3107]

@@SchokoKekseFTW Tarkarli, Vengurla, Ganpatipule, Aare Ware, Harihreshwar, Guhagar are some of the famous beaches in Konkan region. Please Google for more information.

U are so dum u guess u should see beaches in Karnataka and north Kerala pristine clean visit and educate yourself

[@mathieutallard6328]

​@@som3107I rather google for nude beaches and there seems to have a few. I thought India was a too retarded country to have any because Gabriel said there's none. Who's right between him and google....

[@PankajMalikTraveler]

I'd like to visit there in early January. Good weather, less crowded after new year holidays.

[@Deadfoot-Dan]

Love the music on the intro, what a great vibe, you should do an extended play on that music in a future video, the sound and the scenery together is so enjoyable to experience, even if we can't be there to do it in person. That's why these videos are so great.

[@sunnygillstar8661]

Right on, you'll love it. I recommend staying at Kudle beach, but Om beach is nice as well. Also staying in town isn't a bad idea and then hiking out to the beaches during the day.

[@davidgower2848]

When I was in Gokarna in 1999 I never even knew about Kudle Beach!! 😆 looks lovely. Om beach was the thing then.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

That's pretty funny. How did you get to Om beach without going across Kudle? A back way from town I guess?

[@davidgower2848]

@Gabriel Traveler yes would have got an auto rickshaw down the back lanes to om beach...no google maps in those days 😆 thanks for reminding me how great that area is. I kinda forgot. Where you heading for next?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I was in Gokarna in December 1999 myself, but walked out to the beaches from the town. Not sure where I'm going next yet, trying to decide.

[@davidgower2848]

@Gabriel Traveler you been to Mahabalipuram way down south? Amazing history and more beaches 😆

[@markh2615]

​@@GabrielTravelerVideos I stayed on Paradise beach for 3 months 2001 very peaceful ,we trekked over the hill from belekin side and went to Gokarna for supplies and the odd night in a hotel for a nice bath 😁 great videos Gabe,I really enjoy your stuff thanks for bringing back some fond memories 🙏🙌😎

[@gsmmasha]

Great video, brought back lots of memories. Followed the same paths as you in 2011 except we caught a fisherman's boat to paradise beach. When we arrive that day, the govt had just pulled down hippie squats travelers had constructed to live off the grid, previously they had running water from local streams and basic shelters. When we arrive that day was still some travellers camping subsisting the best they could making the best of the seclusion of paradise beach and the no cost of stay, allowing them to extend their travel...

I was surprised at how narrow the beach trail was!!!! And how steep the way down looked 😮

[@cypruscats8450]

It looked really dangerous! One foot wrong and....!

[@deepak696]

Wow, this is Gabe's 5th time to little town Gokarna. I wish the town municipal place trash bins for ppl to use & clean the few roads of Mud & dust. Can see the shop owners sprinkle water in front to keep the dust down. If you want to do some trekking in Karnataka then Kumara Parvath also called Pushagiri down south near coorg would be great place, fantastic scenery. Also of Mythological significance: Lord Shiva son Subramanya left his body in this mountain hill top. Fantastic energy up there.

[@carlapires7732]

Ashwen beach is also a cool place to be & not very far away 🤩

Hi Gabriel, sounds like you're on a quest. You spoke of yoga you didn't mention the chakras. According to Nikola Telsa, the number 3 is the most important number in the universe 369 Hz and 963 Hz. Music becomes an integral part of life the solfeggio frequencies from the Gregorian chants 432 Hz and 528 Hz healing music. May you always find what you're looking for.

[@davidbazeley2330]

Went there last September. Stayed at Om Beach/Namaste Cafe. The rocky stairs down to the cafe were tough but otherwise quite enjoyable. Came by train from Mangalore and left by bus for Kawar. Made several trips into Gokana. Nice little place. I went there based on your video of a while ago. Been going to India since 1975, I try to go every year. Got Covid in Bangalore which put a stop to my plan to go up NH 44.to Srinagar. Took an overnight bus from Panjim to Bombay. This was 15 hours of airborne hell. Defacating in the bus toilet was prohibited. No announcement of toilet stops. By Bombay was busting. Caught a taxi and told him I was desperate for a toilet. "Number 1 or number 2 ?" Only in India. Already have my ticket for July. I am 72 and just had a small stroke so have to plan accordingly. Your best videos are from India. So many people only show Gateway of India. The real fun is when you get off the beaten track. Have a pocket2 camera which is superb. In Mumbai I stay at the NewVasantashram Hostel up all those stairs. I think you've been there. Now take local buses for 3 hour journeys. Inspired by you. Very nice way to travel. Have fun take care. With 1.2 billion people to take care of you what can go wrong! David Bazeley 🇦🇺

[@darylfortney8081]

Hard to stay offline eh? Stay in Half Moon beach… I stayed there a few days back in 2002 with at the time the only family living there. Would be curious to see how it’s developed since. Looks like it has been totally trashed since I was there.

[@VantaraVichitraRecords-uw1lq]

Go to yana caves, 1.5 hours or so from kudle..also check out kumta town which is like 30 minutes or less from kudle and nirvana beach :) been there few times..

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I experienced New Year's 2000 at Yana. There's a story about it in my book "Following My Thumb".

[@effie-Toronto]

Gabe you are amazing great video

[@annaoikonomou2121]

The whole point is to get off distractions to get deeper into the psychoi in order to heal. If you stay on the surface, not possible. Many people are afraid of what they might find, or they know what they will find, and avoid that at all cost. But that fear is without reason, cause it is not happening right now, and we can go through the pain in a safe space. Than we can heal and will be no longer controlled by or shadow, but we will if we ignore it. That is what places in nature call for, nature is loving mother energy, always open to heal your pain, if you let her

Which according to you, based on your travels, is a place where the locals are most chilled out, warm & welcoming, and the location also of natural beauty. Where one can just immerse and relax, and disconnect from the grind. I am Indian and have travelled across the length and breadth of India, but we Indians are not the most chilled out.
