Rishikesh, India: Tour From My Hotel to the Ganges River

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

The hotel I showed in this video is called the Dev Ganga. I'm not sure if it can be booked online, but this is the website I use the most for booking accommodation while I travel. Huge selection and you can find some great deals on hotels, apartments and hostels: www.booking.com/index.html?aid=1724899

[@CharlieChaplinVideos]

Gabriel has seen more of India than most of Indians :)

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Much more than you can imagine. I plan to make a video soon talking about all the places I've visited in India in the past 18 years of coming here.

[@pankajmaliknewdelhi]

I think in first visit you Visited max, now u r repeating

[@MohitSharma-zx6pk]

Hi Gabriel , I recently started watching your vlogs .Absloutely loving it.

[@narinderkaur4070]

where you from ur birth place. dear??

[@RebornInIndia]

There is a shot in my Rishikesh vlog when you can see I was crossing that bridge on a motorbike haha! I love this place and the views in your video are gorgeous 😍

[@pankajmaliknewdelhi]

Reborn In India nice, I've seen your vedios

[@lunaflaneur]

I'm a big fan of Gabe too 🙊

[@anantgupta9406]

i had also seen ur videos......and this was best kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3fbpJ14YrZoq5o

[@pradjosh1]

i think you really like India. you keep coming back and you are always welcome :)

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks.

[@TravelThroughLife]

Last winter we travelled to Gangotry. We took the local bus up and then taxy. I have video about this trip in my channel. We travelled with our 1.5 year old baby there. The hot springs is worth the trip up. :)

[@JordanTsu]

Synchronicity. Before you went to India, I was searching for yoga schools. Your vids are a delight, I've already feel I'm going to have a blast there and extending my stay.

[@movie4u566]

Man your indian vlogs are legendary best out of all countries vlogs I don't know your camera makes India look awsm

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Excellent, glad to hear it. India is always interesting, definitely makes for fascinating images and experiences.

[@AmitKumar-mi4sl]

You are right, nice vedio

[@chrisbutler6258]

Loved the cow laying on the bridge taking in the view !

[@stephenworthington-white8294]

Thanks for the videos. I like and appreciate your honest no nonsense style. I miss India so so much. Watching your videos makes me feel like I'm there again! Happy Travels dude.

[@chriswalls2262]

Love it when you do these walkabouts.

[@JesseStLouis]

Wow, that area has really grown since I was there in 2014. The German bakery is great.

[@griffin2263]

Cool video ...very epic .....looks like a lot of tourists there and not so dirty ...thanks for posting

[@travelingexotics]

Wow beautiful Gabriel Traveler, .. nice video ! looks like an antique place !

[@ronrash4421]

As usual, great video!!!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks Ron, and nice running into you! I'm just about to post the video from last night, but you already know what happened.

[@KusanBiswas]

Also, I suggest you to visit Mussouri, Danaulti, Kaushani. These are not really religious places, but great hill stations, and lot less crowded(less "insane/crazy" in your words :D)

[@ashwinikhanna]

very well shot. nice walk on the road and laxman jhula with great view of ganges, along with live running commentary!

[@tigermason7624]

Wow. This looks beautiful!

[@ZhengRongShawn]

Thank you very much Gabriel! you make me feel i was there travel, almost subscribed one month ago and now can't wait to watch your every video. safe travel, love watch your budget travel series, i'm in Shen Zhen, China（深圳，中国）, hope one day you visit my place.

[@donstravelsandrants.]

Where else would you see a cow sitting on a bridge. Brilliant.

[@willhemnorde9556]

Another nice video man

[@KusanBiswas]

Hi Gabriel, I have subscribed and watched almost all videos you have done! Good job! So enjoyable. I would like to suggest you one thing: get a stabilized stick for go pro whatever camera you use, if you can. They don't cost much now a days and can greatly improve the quality of the videos by getting rid of the jerkiness! But yes, even without it, I love your videos so much, because you show not only the places, you show the means of travel and share other info like cost! Keep it up :)

[@KusanBiswas]

হ্যা খুব :) কোথাও যাওয়া তো হয়ে ওঠে না, ঘরে বসে আঁশ মেটাই :)

[@MarkBH70]

You are very knowledgeable, sir. Amazing how many animals are in India. In the USA it's squirrels and birds--sometimes a few deer--and as pets, dogs and cats, and that's pretty much it!

[@oriax8770]

Aquarian Christianity almost all.. But you have to visit some national parks or sanctuaries to see them

[@lordvoldemort2108]

Its even more beautiful in the night

[@iiCasanova]

I was there just a couple days back. And you're absolutely right, it has changed completely since the first time I was here in 1998. I still have some vague memories. I was 5 then, but it wasn't as crowded and full of foreign nationals as it is now.

[@techmodderaryan]

dhaba is an place where you can eat traditional basic but extremely tasty and mostly punjabi type food

[@akshaykaushik668]

Mr Gabriel when is your next tour in Haridwar and Rishikesh, your welcome again come to india

[@jagminderbassi1056]

Cleaner than Delhi and other part of India 🇮🇳 👍 nice

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yes, I agree.

[@narensountyal]

This is so beautiful..Do not miss Ranikhet, Dwarahat, Binsar, Kausani ,Almora, Chopta, Tunganath, Auli in your travel trip..These are so peacefully, spirituality and best mountains travel trip in Uttarakhand...I hope you will go to there..👍✌

[@AliKhan-so3xr]

I love Rishikesh my favourite place

[@DanielVanCuylenburg]

Wow can’t believe bikes are allowed across that bridge. Barely wide enough for 2 people side by side. Awesome views though!

[@writerman242]

The lady at the fruit stand was in that exact spot this time last year..

[@amankumar206]

Its all simulation. Matrix is real

[@writerman242]

@@amankumar206 I think you are right

[@s.d.b.5803]

Love your videos. Once visit the north east India. Drone shots make your videos more interesting...

[@gianthudatravels]

If you're deciding where to go next my vote is Ethiopia or Indonesia (somewhere other than Bali, Lombok, or Java). Sumatra or Flores would be interesting. Anyway, that's my 2 cents as a viewer. Weird seeing this Rishikesh video since I'm going to be there in 10 days. The internet trips me out sometimes. Thanks for the video and safe travels.

[@dr.n.sureshkumarkumar7314]

Your videos are so addictive.!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Cool, thanks.

[@jawadvlog86]

Great video Bro

[@philipbolton6111]

Like your videos very much as going to india in fed March for I don't know spoke as long as money last and have found ur adoration and now have a good list of places

[@micky19832]

Liked it👍🏻 just two friendly informations😀 first Ganga is a Sanskrit word and second Dhaba is basically Punjabi style road side (specially highway in India/freeway in USA) refreshment area where you can get washroom, liquor, chai & food with Khatia(wooden bench with strong rope). Now people use the word dhaba in anywhere 🙄 Thank you so much🙏🏼stay well & keep traveling😀

[@hellohi8674]

Nice video I also live in rishikesh.... Jay ma gange

[@SujataMukherjee01]

Lovely. Though most of the high altitude places are getting closed within a month but u can still try to reach some trekking spots from Rishikesh

[@Bpradeep1992]

Nice video 👍👍

[@alvishah2331]

[@AmitKumar-mi4sl]

Great, beautiful vedio

[@debjitchatterjee2207]

Very nice

[@davidsmith956]

Great video and wonderfully taste of that area. Do you know your plans for the next few weeks or week? Will you remain in India or do you plan on venturing elsewhere? How are you doing with your budget compared to your expectations before you started your India adventure? Safe travels and look forward to the next video.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I'm not sure how much longer I'll be in India but not too long I don't think. Maybe another couple weeks. I think I've decided which country I'm going to next but keeping it under wraps for now. Haven't booked a flight or anything. But it will be a new place and something quite different.

[@adamjames4340]

Love it 😍

[@TheHolisticTrainer]

Vlog Music No Copyright best channel 🙌

[@RealSpaceHobo]

My view count was 666, which freaks me out, Gabe.......never knew it wasn't actual Rishikesh.....good to know.....that guest house was lovely too......and stating the view was "quite epic" must have been understatement of the year.....:-)

[@karlmckernan4476]

Hi Gabriel, really enjoying this trip to India. Are you going to Nepal again on this trip? Cheers from Australia!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Hi Karl, I don't think I'll end up going to Nepal again this trip. Getting cold for trekking now. Cheers!

[@stankormy5717]

Straight Outta Rishikesh

[@shubhamrawat3801]

Plzz come to uttrakhand's kumaun region there are many scenic places &sites..like nanital , kausani & Munsyari etc👍

[@AlokKumar-xh7nh]

Hello are you still in india than plz comes shimla and kulu manali here its awesome weather here

[@madhavdhanraj]

Nice video

[@SandeepRawat-sl4pn]

Come Dehradun Gabriel. it's only a hour ride from Rishikesh

[@IncredibleVision84]

Which Hotel You Stayed In Rishikesh.

[@abhilasharadhya7836]

Visit Mysore and surrounding place

[@Everio620User]

where does all that monsoon rain go?i couldn't see any drains in that road!

[@pradeepjoshi7973]

You should visit to Rohtang pass... Awesome place in himachal pradesh near to manali....

[@oltiousgoinham]

How do they allow the motor bikes on that bridge LOL. Great video though !

[@pankajmaliknewdelhi]

oltiousgoinham there are onlt two bridges and locals have only these options

[@writerman242]

Soon they won't....they are building a huge road bridge about 3 km at the other end of the town and it's like a bypass.

[@oltiousgoinham]

Ya i was not meaning any disrespect just seems very unsafe to have then also on the bridge !

[@writerman242]

I think one of the resasons the prices are going up is when they feature on videos and lots of tourists turn up..so prices go up. So many travel vloggers (not complaining of course) actually impact...to some degree or other..But that's life. lol

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

True.

[@writerman242]

yes..Also I think that there is a different kind of tourist going to India now and especialy places like Rishikesh being a big yoga place. People have more money to spend. Last year it was still possible in swarg ashram to get a reasonable room for $10 or actually a lot less in a few places. We stayed at both ends. There is a hotel just near the cafe you go o in your bus video..Forget the name bt the room was right on the corner of the building overlooking that exact view and it was $8 but was onl available for a couple of weeks and then we woul have hd to move, so we didn't move there..

[@dbtez1212]

Hey Gabriel I enjoy your videos so much. Try visiting Chile and Argentina please🙏

[@arafhasan1059]

I see your all video and I love your still and your video please coming to Bangladesh

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

It was called Dev Ganga.

[@vijaybharuch1984]

Gabriel Traveler thanks a lot.

[@pankajmaliknewdelhi]

There is a Waterfall in Rishikesh & Ganges Beach?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yeah there are nice beaches, I'll show them in another video. Also I tried to hike to the waterfall today but didn't find it. I've been to it before though. It's up a trail that goes through the forest. It was getting late and I had to turn back.

[@GadgetMeta]

Please visit in KOLKATA it's a lovely place

[@harishkumar-nv9uf]

[@bazzatheblue]

Were the Beatles there? George getting a few sitar lessons from Ravi Shankar maybe. ;)

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

YES, Rishikesh is the place. There's even a Beatles song about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpzEcoGcl9GindU I plan to visit the abandoned ashram where they stayed and make a video there.

[@bazzatheblue]

Gabriel Traveler cool,that'll be interesting,not seen anything about it since those times.

[@pankajmaliknewdelhi]

you have an old vedio about that already I think?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmKpXqB_d7uCg9k I'll make a much better one though.

[@pankajmaliknewdelhi]

Are Beatles very popular in US? Was that the first Band.

[@fellow111411]

I can tell you are still traveling.

[@shubhamrawat9718]

Hey Gabriel, could you share more about your room and the prices please ;)

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I made another video about prices in Jaipur: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJXPqpmwbplqjbc I'm not sure if I'll make one for Rishikesh as well, but I'll think about it.

[@TheArtoftheheart]

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I don't think I'll go to Nepal again after India. Next time I go I want to do the Everest base camp trek, but it will be getting too cold for that trek now.

[@ritur9063]

Is Rishikesh your fav spot?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

For a long-term stay, I think so. There are other places that I like more in certain ways, that are quieter, less touristy, etc. But Rishikesh has so much to do and so many places to explore that you can stay for a while and not get bored. I'll be showing lots of those other places to see around Rishikesh in coming videos.

[@rahulrana3240]

[@rocknroll9749]

Gabriel Traveler True!! any plans for Gangotri

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I think it's too late in the season now. The glacier is up pretty high and requires a 24 km hike. I might get a little ways up into the mountains though.
