[@jeewanintube]

Welcome back Gabriel, Its nice to watch your video exactly after a year of deadly earthquake on April 25th 2015 . Thank your for promoting tourism in Nepal.

[@photon2724]

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic and mocking the dude for promoting travel to a dangerous place... OR actually thanking him for helping tourist to trust travelling to Napal again....

[@Jsart87]

Hey man. I’m in Pokhara now and you did such a great job capturing it even with equipment and editing from 7 years ago. On my way to Everest base camp next week and I owe this great experience to your videos for giving me the confidence to do this. 🤙🏼 you’re the best gabe.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Excellent, glad to hear it. EBC, lucky you, it's high on my list to do sometime soon. Have an epic trek.

[@yowgrange5038]

Your videos have kept me sane during this spell of isolation. I am 76 and have travelled to all the countries you have been to except the east European ones which I might do after the lockdown is over. Please dwell on the markets more if possible. I particularly love markets and indigenous people. Thanks

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Sounds good, thanks for watching.

Hey man I absolutely love your videos and you really have inspired me to travel and to basically explore the world. My goal is to visit the Himalayas and to also visit mongolia, russia, and the central asian countries. Your videos are absolutely amazing, although I must admit I am nervous of traveling by myself. Also what are some cheap traveling advice as I really don't have enough money hahaha. But anyway greetings from Australia.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

hey there, sounds like a great plan, I'd love to see Mongolia and Russia myself. Here's another video of mine with some more ideas for traveling cheap: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpTCc2mvjNeHgc0

[@mithubird9755]

Good thing you didn't order any of the curries at Marwadi- I was there and ordered paneer pasanda which normally has a very distinctive cashew gravy, one of my favorite dishes. When it came it was bland and more like second rate shahi paneer. When I complained the waiter actually said they use the same gravy for many different dishes. I love your videos, can't wait to go back to Nepal and I was just there 3 months ago.

[@krishansaud2371]

its too much cheaper compare to others, but may b expensive service in terms of humble care and love. thats the indentity of Nepal

[@TheHunterTravellerChannel]

Nice video! Reminds me of my happiest travel memories of cycling around the villages around Siem Reap and meeting the wonderful locals :) The trekking shops are really useful hey. Is it quiet season there right now? Hope your buddy arrives safe and well!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I guess it's kind of the end of high season, so it's not peak season but still travelers are around. But apparently because of the earthquake a year ago it's still affecting tourism in Nepal and so the high season wasn't as busy as it would have been otherwise.

[@TheHunterTravellerChannel]

+Gabriel Traveler Thats interesting. I'd love to visit anytime of year :) Considering it as my next stop after Australia and then into India. Thanks for sharing..finding your videos really helpful. Stay safe up there!

[@Suj559]

Well.. you can spend a day cheaper than 24$ .. usually the tourist areas are lot expensive.. Also the people tend to ask for higher price when they see tourists.. So you need to be a bit clever too.. Its better to ask locals about prices or little help to find stuffs.. Anyways.. I love your videos.. Keep it up :)

[@BeyondTheTrip]

we spent something like 7 dollars a day in Pokhara! You're right...you need to find the right places, then ask alway for the price and know in advance which are the average prices in order to avoid mockery

[@PrasithTharuka]

Nice one Gabe. would you please make an informative video like this while you are buying trekking gear.. Also why didn't you purchase the trekking gear from Thamel. is it cheaper in Phokhara?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I'm not sure whether it's cheaper in Kathmandu or Pokhara. I already bought most of my gear here in Pokhara, I didn't need to get a lot of stuff. But I'll make a video showing what gear I'm bringing and also other tips for trekking, hopefully before I take off, maybe tomorrow.

[@PrasithTharuka]

Thanks.. Safe trekking.

Hey Gabe nice vid mate keep up the good work! You might know this already but the actual abode of Lord Shiva and family according to the Vedic scriptures is mount Kailash...you might want to go trekking there some day if you haven't already done it :)

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yes, I actually talked to someone recently who circumnavigated Mount Kailash and he showed me some photos, it looks absolutely spectacular.

[@NomadicInThePhilippines]

great video i wanna see that place soon

[@ashandesilva5473]

Hey Gabriel nice video .. I my self hoping to go on a budget trip to nepal & trekking himalaya's late in this year . Could you recommend what are best time of the year to do so , where the sceneries are awesome and safe to trek?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks. If you plan to trek later this year then I would plan for September-November. I guess monsoons are coming soon and that won't be a good time for trekking.

[@CharlieChaplinVideos]

Never seen Gabriel drinking tea. Hope you drink one in front of camera.

[@CharlieChaplinVideos]

*once (Not one)

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I often have tea in the mornings, but herbal tea of some kind, I don't drink caffeine at all. The tea I had with breakfast in this video was tulsi which is a natural herb from India.

[@tsetan4792]

+Gabriel Traveler man, ur breakfast is expensive! I think bcos u ordered from the hotel that's why or else it should be cheaper😬

[@lpoolfc4879]

Do you ever get sick eating in these restaurants? I imagine they attract a lot of reaches? How do you fin a restaurant? just walking past? recommendations? do you ever check tripadvisor for reviews first?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I've managed to avoid getting sick fortunately. But it's always a risk when traveling, you just never know. I've talked with plenty of other travelers who have gotten food poisoning while traveling at one point or another. As for finding restaurants, yeah mostly just walking past and taking a look. Sometimes I have a guidebook and will go to a place based on reading about it. I don't tend to get reviews of restaurants online, I use that more for hotels. But also recommendations from other travelers who might mention a good place to eat.

[@WitcherDAD]

cheaper bro is when you are after high season and when you eat in local bars .

[@kalaghimire1456]

thanks bro...it really helps in promoting tourism ...U r welcome again...

I'm vegan and was wondering how easy it is to get vegan food when travelling thanks

[@Wanderer1]

If you're travelling places like India and Nepal it's very easy because most of the population is vegetarian, the only animal products they have are dairy. Which can also easily be avoided.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

+Gabriel Marengo Yeah, India and Nepal would be probably the easiest countries to travel in as a vegan. Elsewhere it would definitely be tougher. Not impossible, I've met plenty of vegan travelers, Louis Cole recently turned vegan and he's travel vlogging non-stop like me. Certain places have vegan restaurants like Chiang Mai, Thailand, Ubud in Bali, Indonesia and Cusco, Peru. But outside of tourist zones you will find some vegetarian dishes on menus in a lot of places, not necessarily vegan, but you might figure out how to communicate it to them (i.e. have someone write a message on a note in the local language). If nothing else then you can always go to local markets and buy fresh veggies and fruits. It would certainly present a challenge while traveling but one that could be figured out.

[@Gabrielowns321]

Yes i noticed that many people were vegetarian in india, thank you very much and keep up the channel, its really great! ps gabriel is a cool name

[@tsetan4792]

Most of the restaurants has vegetarian dishes and U can also have vegetarian momos from the street and its cheap and very filling. Good luck.

[@Gabrielowns321]

thanks

[@dirty93]

Are you going to upload for your 30 days of trekking? Will you have Internet?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I'm really not sure about that and am curious to find out the situation. I've been told that there is wi-fi at places along the trekking route, but that it's slow and probably won't work for uploading videos. So there might be a break from the videos for a while. Maybe I can at least record a couple of short clips, in crappy quality so that the files are smaller and then at least post some updates along the way.

[@AexoeroV]

Thats not super cheap, for 24$ a day you could eat here in Romania stakes and meat all day. I tought Nepal is way much cheaper than the country i live.

[@manukarki3190]

Well tourist targeted places are really expensive compared to where normal Nepali people go. 24$ is like a fooding cost of a normal Nepali home for a couple of week.

[@SubodhKhanal]

where do you live? I don't think any one can survive on 24 dollars for couple of week.

Glad you're feeling better bro,not good to be ill in those parts-I caught a nice dose of giardia in Varanasi (coulda been Rishikesh but Varanasi's an educated guess !! ) That was rough....antibiotics & Ayurveda sorted it-treatment for body & soul kinda thing.

Hopefully you've kicked it now & your immune systems had a good workout!

Most travellers spend money on alcohol which i see u avoid..alcohol increases the expense astronomically so the key to budget travel is to avoid alcohol...recently i was a watching a vlog of bald and bankrupt where it was all about cheap alcohol and desi daru..kinda funny and entertaining vlog but yours is more informative and low key..your camera was shaking a lot in this video

[@PankajMalik2016]

Cool

[@amafid]

Do you ever use a credit card or do you always pay with local currency?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I almost never use a credit card, I just withdraw the local currency from an ATM and pay with cash.

[@amafid]

I was just wondering because I just signed up for some credit cards for travel hacking purposes that have no foreign transaction fees I thought it just might be safer

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

amafid That could be a good idea, especially if you get air miles or something. However a lot of places in Asia and other less developed parts of the world, then they don't accept credit cards much, especially the budget hotels and restaurants, etc. But it will work for some purchases certainly.

[@MaytaneVideos]

Looks a bit calmer than India

[@zohnbon]

You would see only Kathmandu as full of crowds, rest of the cities are really peaceful and safe to visit. Do not compare with India, Nepal total population is lesser than Indian beggars, it's only 20.9 million where India has 25 million only beggars around whole country. 🙏

How do you get away with filming in so many shops and restaurants? Do the people working there ever ask you not to?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I'll try to do a video soon explaining. Basically I have the camera hanging by the strap around my neck so people don't think I'm filming, it looks like I just have a camera because I'm a tourist.

[@radiosification]

Great tactic haha, I look forward to seeing your video on it

[@doctorrugonline]

+Gabriel Traveler I also want to see a video on this. You should do a live q&a or maybe even talk about how Internet access is in all these places

[@qwwertys1167]

No, cows are revered because Vishnu reincarnated as a human cow herder called Krishna. Cow is supposed to be his mount. I think that's the reason but I am not 100% sure. So female cows are sacred but male cows or bulls are not. Basically, you can kill the males but not the females. And you are not supposed to kill the female one because killing one is supposed to be equivalent of killing a "brahmin" human which is pretty bad for your karma. :)
