How is Bus Travel in INDIA? The Journey to Rishikesh

[@vipinlamba3323]

Thanks to visit India. Love from India 🙏

[@RebornInIndia]

I arrived in Haridwar in the evening like you did and it was my FIRST SOLO TRIP in India and the beginning of a life-changing adventures. The next day when I saw the Ganga river I was simply a-m-a-z-e-d, then I caught a vikram (20rupees) to Rishikesh where the whole course of my journey in India changed as after that I quit my scholarship in Delhi to travel for the remaining 6 months... :))) River views in Rishikesh are stunning

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Sweet. I've been coming to Rishikesh since 1999. I've spent several months here altogether, not even sure how many times I've visited. When were you in India?

[@RebornInIndia]

I'm not surprised, I'll definitely keep coming back there. I was in India for 9 months from August 2016 till May of this year :)

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I see, cool.

[@mrjj1173]

Reborn In India hello mam, please visit india again. hope you had a good time here

[@vtecpreludevtec]

Reborn In India Rishikesh,,the holy mans hair,,

[@VitalityMassage]

I'm glad you went there so I can just WATCH online and that's IT!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Cool. :)

[@remotedarren]

Just incredible that's all I have to say. Watched to the end: what a view from your room!

[@321192ify]

With a view like that Gabe can do yoga right from his private balcony.

[@remotedarren]

321192ify 😂

[@CharlieChaplinVideos]

You are now eligible for an Aadhaar card. Lol

[@321192ify]

@Sateesh, Yes indeed, Gabe definitely deserves the card.

[@tinamariefarmer4419]

hey Gabriel hope you are having a great day! ty for posting!

[@wdp4wdm3a]

Go to the lakshaman jhula at about 1 am in the morning. Stand there in the middle of the bridge for half an hour. Trust me you won't be disappointed. P. S: have some cheap bread worth 10 rupees and feed it to the dogs when they bark. They will become friendly again.

[@gato7908]

That was a million dollar view you got for 15 bucks 👍😁

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Totally.

[@missaperron6791]

Wow the view!!! Amazing !! great video :)

[@raminderify]

at1304 the scene of the river, you cannot guess looking at a video how the vibrations and feeling there are like. The closest i can say is that you get a sense of awe you get a sense of the timelessness of the river as if the waters have flowed into present times from thousands of years ago.

[@nd7883]

It is time Gabriel gets voting rights in India......He shows the good and bad sides of India and it seems like he keeps coming back to see whatever has changed.

[@millvee1005]

Beautiful, i enjoyed that video, very educational and great footage.

[@randombiketrips3296]

My God that spot at the end is amazing, and for only $15 a night.

[@jungleej7224]

anybody saw a cop hitting biker with a stick at 5:55

[@gaiatravels3489]

I was wondering if anyone else caught this, I wonder what caused this now that I've seen it lol

[@bharathv499]

The Gaian Mind he is breaking the traffic rules.

[@gaiatravels3489]

BHARATH V R Thank you for clarifying!

[@bharathv499]

The Gaian Mind Welcome

[@coolspark8762]

One of your best videos Gabriel. Great content, music and editing....felt like I was there.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Cool, glad to hear it.

[@bensvlogs6354]

Good to see you back in Rishikesh again Gabriel. I watched some of your videos on Rishikesh before I went there. It's a fantastic place, I absolutely love it there. One of my favourite places I've ever been to. I still haven't got round to editing my own videos and posting them though.

[@sumedhpradhan]

Last part of river was awesome..!!!

[@atmalewis1513]

Loved this, it gave me a feeling that I am in Rishikesh, which is somewhere I would really like to go. I am bound to a job here in the states. I am on a spiritual path and do yoga. Shivananda, Anand Mehrotra, maharishi mahesh yogi, Sachidananda, etc all masters whose wisdom I value all have roots in Rishikesh. Thank you for your travel videos. They really give us the feeling like we are there with you.

[@Thewhitewolf23]

Thank you so much to visit. i visit Rishikesh after every one or two months i like that place so much😍😍👍👍👍

[@gopherbar]

Fantastic videos me and my wife are travelling to Delhi then across to Kathmandu looking forward to seeing the real India on trains, buses and tuc tucs

[@rishabsharma4925]

Awesome video brother👌👌..keep it up

[@griffin2263]

Amazing video .....thanks for posting ...what was going on at 5:55 .great looking view from your room worth the extra money ...

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Not sure what happened there. I didn't even notice it at the time, not until I'd finished the video and watched it back.

[@veipuniilana1842]

That is how India traffic work

[@iman9680]

Hi gabrial, I like your all videos! Keep it up continue! All the best!

[@pankajmaliknewdelhi]

Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@anubhavnegi4230]

[@shivam_singh_9999]

i am indian live in rajasthan and meet many tourist who visit rajasthan but didnt visited rishikesh i always say that rishikesh is much better place from every point of view . i always try to go there once a year

[@RamprasadSugumaran]

If you have time you can trek to the Gangotri glacier which is the source of the Ganges. The Gomuk - Tapovan trek has incredible views of the Gangotri group peaks including Mount Meru. Meru Central was first climbed by a team headed by acclaimed mountaineer Conrad Anker (The documentary is "Meru" which is incredible)

[@chrisbrown8748]

I have been busy traveling and preparing for the holiday's but I really need to catch up on these videos.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

That's awesome, where have you been traveling?

[@stefan1924]

I wonder if we'll get so far so that one day we can live stream what we see on traveling like people do it with video games on these days. Your videos are very entertaining and inspiring.

[@nimitgupta9228]

Love it! 😍😍😍

[@t0ckbeast988]

Amazing!!

[@amitmishra6624]

[@wayneleader2364]

Love the Doors sound track Gabriel

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

The songs are by MK2 and Kevin MacLeod, music info below the video. The Doors are awesome though.

[@connieainlay8057]

Love your adventures thank you..

[@f.dmcintyre4666]

Another nice video, there was a mini salad with the thali meal, did you eat the salad??? Thanks again Gabe.

[@rakeshsaini3716]

Hello Gabriel, I have seen almost all of your videos. I am from Delhi. I will suggest whenever you go to Rishikesh, take room in Parmarth Ashram. It is quite cheap and much better.

[@mehul5590]

Hi Gabriel, I have watched quite a lot of ur videos and I love how u present things in ur videos. I appreciate ur honest reviews of things as well as the budget to be maintained. I appreciate the way u explain things. I hope ur altogether experience of India would have been remembering.

[@sidhu5695]

Mehul Bhatnagar yes he deserve more than this...he should do collabs....

[@idiraitdir5276]

I made this exact trip back in 2010 with my parents when I was 10yr old

[@Travelity]

Wish you a great trip in there

[@ivishalraj]

Very nice!!

[@TheTrissywoo]

Would love to see you travel throughout Brazil! All the off-the-beaten track cities

[@akshaysingh3735]

Awesome... 👍👍

[@Fulcrum123]

Very Nice. Thanks.

[@anil4121]

So u did a vrindavan Delhi haridwar rishikesh.. by bus

[@sandeepmalik9819]

Hey Gabriel..fantastic to see your vedio in rishikesh..Gotta let me know if u happens to be in delhi again..Thanks

[@VishalAnthwal]

I'm a vlogger too from Uttarakhand State, I also explored the same place😁😁😁 Nice video sir

[@leilahellier4276]

Gabriel what is the name of the hotel in Rishikesh what a amazing view you have there definitely worth the extra money I watch the whole video I felt like I was travelling it with you I miss India. And one day I will be back

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

It's called Dev Ganga.

[@aman10campion]

Just a small advice regarding bus travel in India. Wherever possible, prefer a Government owned bus over a private one. They are more reliable, punctual and cost-effective. I guess you travelled in Haryana State Roadways and Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corp (UPSRTC) buses in this one, both government owned. Keep up the good work :)

[@bmdiscmahkotadbs5893]

Come to Indonesia, you'll get another sensation & experience of bus riding.

[@ropersix]

I guess you know you're in Rishikesh when you see a random guy carrying a yoga mat, like the guy at 12:33.

[@IMRANKHANWORLDAKSHAY]

You can visit Punjab Also

[@riddhi6tha908]

Must be windy & cold on Laxman Zulu?

[@langemakki6269]

epic again!

[@soumyamondal9744]

Such a nice video.. I think you enjoyed a lot... Can you please mention that what time you made this tour.. ? In which month?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

In November, I filmed it just last week.

[@JTT2505]

Nice video. Very fancy room you got there in Swarg Ashram area. Nice.

[@MarkBH70]

Beauty! Mts.

[@mohitpareek86]

The plethora of knowledge you possess about India can put even many Indians to shame, including me, I last visited this place in 1996, its the same, the way of storytelling is something very distinct which I believe makes one addictive to your videos, have a grt time in Himalayas !

[@travelguruji4811]

Great videos

[@truthseeker3241]

I covered that route on a bike from rishikesh to haridwar ......

[@ShiDit]

What are your thoughts about Haryana Roadways, the bus you travelled in.....

[@srijantyagi4855]

Volvo service are also available on this route in every 1 hr from ISBT bus station New Delhi

[@smvdkvlog1295]

welcome in India

[@RealSpaceHobo]

Oh man, this is getting better by the day......that was an epic view and the restaurant - don't ever leave that place, Gabe......settle down, get married......it's about time, I'm sure your family will agree....:-)

[@RealSpaceHobo]

What has this to do wit my comment?

[@akashbhanu]

He's on weed.

[@tejasvi18joshi]

I was replying to some one else. I don't know how this is happened.

[@RealSpaceHobo]

I sorta gathered that, happens to best...:-)

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yeah but if I settled down the videos would be SO BORING. ;) It'll happen eventually but probably not in the near future. You never know. Maybe I'll find a woman who loves to travel and then she'll help make the videos more interesting.

[@joezennn]

Nice video Gabriel. What is the name of hotel in Rishikesh ?

[@TripGlobally]

Very good video! How long will you be in Rishikesh?

[@harrysharma9961]

Amazing video I like it

[@dedemulyana9209]

very interesting, the situation is like Indonesia in the 1970's - 1980's

[@mehul5590]

Gabriel, have u experienced River rafting in Rishikesh? If not then you should give it a try. If yes then please share ur experience about it. Would love to hear from u!

[@mikeyscott9336]

Massive shout out and respect gabriel man your videos have become my chill out time and especially love the Indian/nepalese vids remind me of my two six month trips, Tibet was incredible too very lucky to go there filming not so easy i reckon worth the trip :) Peace man how old are you my friend didnt start travelling proper to my late thirties now 47 intend to be travelling onwards :) So lve the himalayas fave place in the world for me

[@PrashantKumar-bv4vi]

Incredible India

[@melodicnostalgic3823]

Most of us Indians also prefer to travel through Buses, Best choice to travel around from one place to another are Luxury Buses which are pretty comfy. Trains are just messy, delayed and too much of an inconvenience. My personal reason though to travel in Bus is to experience the country side and nice breeze during long Journeys during the night when you travel. Not to mention you have a lot more privacy compared to noisy trains.

[@rocknroll9749]

Do not miss river rafting this place has to offer

[@patriciadesayles4434]

Hey Gabe did you manage to catch some sleep on your bus trip or not? Wonder do people have fear about getting robbed while they sleeping?

[@marchauck2501]

Hello Gabriel. How is the smog/air pollution situation in Delhi? We were thinking about traveling there in December but have heard that the air there right now is not the best.

[@pankajmaliknewdelhi]

Marc Hauck I live in DELHI and it's fine now. Will be better after some days. Delhi is also Famous for it's Winters, wonderful ⛅ Sun. Right now we're on Rooftop our home and sitting into the Sun with Amazing food 😀

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yeah it was just a temporary situation due to the burning of crops by farmers. Air pollution in Delhi is always present of course being a massive city, but the recent news about it was an especially bad situation that isn't the norm. Good to hear from Pankaj that it's back to normal.

[@marchauck2501]

Pankaj Malik Thank you

[@marchauck2501]

Gabriel Traveler Thank you
