Hiking to a Remote Village in the Himalayas of India

[@JSdottir]

Wow that River and the Parvati valley feel so sacred 🙏🏻 I really like how considerate you are of the people living in the villages not bothering them with your camera, really shows your character, wish more of the travel KZbinrs were like that. I really cracked up when you picked up the cream and even more when you tried to drink it! ..just hilarious, glad it was tasty though. I always get those butter cookies when in India. They’re great with masala chai. Thank you for bringing Parvati Valley so close to us.

[@charlottethien3749]

Was wondering if it was like our sour cream , used in lots of cooking dishes in the USA, also toppings on baked potatoes, etc. maybe had texture of yogurt . Would be a shock at first , due to texture. So glad it was flavorful !

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

It wasn't like sour cream. It tasted just like cream but a thick paste. Probably it's intended to be used for cooking and mixed with water.

[@SK-xw4gu]

@@GabrielTravelerVideos It is mainly used in preparing sweets and ice cream.

Thanks for hiking up to Rasol!! I was too lazy! I stayed in Challal in 2008. It has grown by 20x in the last 15 years!!! I never went to Malana as they do not want the traffic. Happy Travels

[@wilfredotorres6628]

Hi Gabriel, a good move to bring some snacks and other drinks with you in case you are left with no energy it's always better to have extra calories you burn so many calories on these hikes and that's the reason for getting sugar in your system quick energy to burn. You can never eat too much with the amount of walking you do. You are really getting a sense of the entire region with all that hiking and moving around I'm sure you miss the swimming and hot tubes of Japan and Iceland.

[@Psyboy007]

Hi Gabriel the name of the village is Chalal …just half an hour hike from kasol

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yep. 👍

[@parulsinha3092]

Amul fresh cream is not a drink. It is used in cooking to make curry creamy. It is also used to make desserts like cake, fruit cream, ice cream, etc. If you want whipped cream, you have to whip it up with sugar. Indians don't eat whipped cream out of a can and that kind of thing won't be available except in some shops in big cities.

[@DeputyDog-mh1yo]

Amul fresh cream is often used in delicious drinks 🍻

[@DaltonMirklestein]

You guys are great 👍 love your channel

[@ericasteele]

A few ideas for you...I think you would really enjoy being a Base Camp manager or similar for a Himalayan expedition sometime. It would give you the opportunity to access the high altitude areas and do remote day treks over weeks, access permit only areas - contact climbing clubs back home or the Indian Climbing Federation if interested. The Himalayan Trust set up by Sir Ed Hillary also run amazing voluntary work/trekking combos in special permission remote areas. I was taught to only walk as fast uphill as you can easily breathe at high altitude (over 10000 ft) - it's slow but allows you to keep going for long distances...

Vashist is beautiful but so much construction of structures. Try visiting Sissu just across the 10 km long new Atal tunnel. One can experience Contrasting view in 5 minutes. Before entering the tunnel its Solang valley with Green views and suddenly after the tunnel at Sissu its very rusty rugged views with beas river flowing quite fast. Have fun.

I'm not sure what the cost of internet is for your home, but wifi is always free in all the hotels and restaurants.

[@janakiramnallamothu3020]

For a little over 3 euros, you can get 2 GB of data per day for 28 days! Most telecoms have comparable plans. 4G coverage is generally good throughout India, but it may be weaker in the mountains, so it's important to choose one with good coverage where you'll be using it the most.

These treks are for tourists. Right now you are in off season otherwise you'd see a lot of people trekking these villages to find good weed. If you want to do better treks then go to Uttrakhand or tougher treks in Himachal where tourist won't go. For example Itchoo village in Ladakh, you won't regret this trek.

[@knightatdawndonbynight8432]

Climbing heights puts your lungs and fitness to test at all altitudes but generally speaking, altitudes above 8000 feet (2500 m) is the threshold for high altitude illness (like headache, nausea, dizziness, fall in oxygen saturation and in severe cases pulmonary oedema and cerebral oedema) related to low oxygen levels caused by low atmospheric pressure although some physically weak/unfit people, older people, people with comorbidities and dormant illnesses related to lungs and the heart may begin falling sick at altitudes as low as even 5000 feet. Oxygen therapy, simple arrangements like carrying oxygen cans, breathing exercises for lungs, medicines like Acetazolamide when started a day or two before gain in such sort of altitudes above 8000 feet (trading name of the medicine is Diamox), acclimatisation by staying for 2-3 days every 2000 feet gain in altitude and consumption of light food before trekking, staying optimumly hydrated helps in alleviating such situation. Fit men below fifty years of age and fit women below 45 won't have much issue negotiating the heights Gabe has done in Himachal Pradesh in this series unless suffering from comorbidities or dormant diseases of the lungs, the heart or even arthritis. Kasol shown in this video has average elevation of 5150 feet (that is much below 8000 feet threshold) while the Rasol village shown in the same video sits at 8200 feet altitude.
