This is nothing In front of north Pakistan, it is the Switzerland of Asia ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@altmosetz_01]

Just a few words in such vids on responsible tourism wld go a long way in creating awareness among people on what not to do when visiting a place & towards keeping places clean, less noisy & worth visiting for others n for a long time

[@Success-td6ry]

Sad your Jammu series has come to an end...It is far more beyond than this...Hope you will again visit Jammu's more new places...Stay safe Karl...Big thanks for making people aware about hidden beauty of Jammu...God Bless You..

[@ArunSharma-nt7oy]

This series is one of the best I've come across regarding jammu. Thank you very much for exploring jammu and letting the world kmow about this beauty. Looking forward to see you again in jammu.

[@isahilsharma]

This place holds a special spot in my heart-it's my hometown, and I reside just around 10 kilometers away. Thank you for capturing the beauty of this picturesque location so wonderfully!

[@gettothepoint2707]

India is full of beautiful places. You just need to know the places. Nice video, man! Keep it up👍

[@jimvortakana7316]

12:00 I've been to Matheran in Maharashtra. A small hill station for sure, but was still fun and had some great views of the western ghats and also lots of monkeys :) which were fun for me to see

[@KarlRock]

Thanks for sharing

[@awesome220]

I’ve been there too. Was quick trip from Mumbai. Also enjoyed

[@Rohit-qq8it]

​@@KarlRocku must visit jammu kashmir .Mountains here are more lively and majestic then in the south

[@aesthetixus]

Woah! Karl! You're back to Jammu again! Makes me wonder if jammu has longed for you or not, cause this time, its becoming crazyy. First Bhaderwah, now patnitop, you're enjoying the most of it! Really happy to see you again! Lots of love! 💓

[@punkbassandcovers]

So beautiful, Karl. Great series of videos. Thank you.

@7.24 Instead of donating to big charity organisations, just pay extra to locals for whatever service they are providing .. That way you make a difference right at the grass root level & directly to people who need it to better their lives how they want it

[@Rolo555]

I been to Naintal, Shimla and will be going to Shillong in 2 weeks.

[@KarlRock]

Nice! Try Patnitop sometime too

[@LadyDixon100]

Wonderful journey with you Karl, 41 deg this week in Rajasthan, feel cooler just watching your video.

[@samewalt6486]

I've been to Almora and points north, Bageswar and then up to Munsyari. Beautiful. Budda Kedar and all along the Bagriathi on the far side away from the pilgrim highway is often unbelievably scenic and peaceful, very few tourists of any kind.there.

[@Parveen385]

Great brother you are loveing Bharat. You are always welcome brother. You can come whenever you want.Coz in my country guests are like god.

[@PJL7095]

Karl - you briefly mentioned safety concern with eating food from the stalls found alongside the mountain roads. What exactly are the issues with eating the food (for example you said bacteria). Is the food unrefrigerated?

[@AshishAryanfilms]

Karl, wating for you to come in kishtwar❤️😁

[@KarlRock]

That'll have to be on my next trip. But I'm coming.

[@atlanticza]

Only hill station I've been to so far is Darjeeling... magnificent!

[@mihitsaxena]

You should also visit the place before patanitop know as katra its surrounding got a good amount of small trek you could got not good as kashmir but a good experience known as devi Pindi.

[@garhwalidude]

I don't have to visit hills, well I am from hills . I have seen Chamba, Dharamshala, Mcleodganj, Dalhousie, Palampur, Kangra and Shimla in Himachal Pradesh , Srinagar,Kotdwara, Lansdown,Dehradun, Mussorie, Nainital, Kausani, Almora, Ranikhet, Pauri and Kedarnath in Uttarakhand and many more.

[@KarlRock]

Wow, you've seen a lot!

[@garhwalidude]

@@KarlRock Saach paas and Jammu are still in my list they need to be seen, I will suggest you to visit Bhadarwaan region in Jammu and Niti valley in uttarakhand these places are at different level and not crowded as well

[@akshimamahajan]

You have to try patisa from kud near to patnitip

[@shauncarter924]

Hey Karl, could you maybe explain what exactly a hill station is? Would you say it’s equivalent to a little town or something? Is it basically the same thing as a little village on a mountain side? Thx man.

[@deepghosh7626]

A little town/village in hilly or mountain region.

[@KarlRock]

I really should've done that in this video. Basically a town in the hills. Some are big, some are small. But all are beautiful and have good weather in summer months. There's many in India. But there's 10 or so which are set up for tourism, Patnitop is one of them.

[@bhupimalik1743]

Nice Ji

[@IncredibleBhagat]

next series update or hint? :D please visit pathankot again.... there are lots of places you can visit near pathankot approx 80km distance like mcleodganj, dharamshala, dalhousie, jot, khajiar, masroor temple, pong dam lake etc

[@sharmarahul5201]

You still left Kishtwar, Paddar killer road, Sinthan, warwan ( he still snow fall continues) hopefully in future

[@KarlRock]

I'll come back for those, I have head about them

[@jimvortakana7316]

5:15 First time I went to india I avoided even cooked/fried stuff on side of street, but in my subsequent visists I just said screw it and would get chai and fried stuff from all sorts of stalls. Including the 'jankiest' stalls where someoen just has burner and some pot on side of road and no real stand as such and I was totally fine; never got sick.

[@YOUTUBEL0VE]

I live near patnitop just 44kms i go there every Sunday 😢😂

[@Mistrymatrix]

Bro come to Kishtwar as well

[@ManOfSteel1]

4:37 what is this you should make a detailed video on it.something i have never seen.

Thanks for mentioning how weird it is for guys to hold hands while walking. You know what the assumption would be in the west.

[@samosa438]

Go to spiti valley

[@HairyMalik]

As expected, nothing specifically special about the place, just another hill station like Shimla. My favorite one so far has been Ladakh 😍

[@Rohit-qq8it]

Just like kashmir I mean better than kashmir as there is no terrorism 😂

[@aesthetixus]

Yeah, I mean all hill stations are similar in one or the other way! Btw Have you visited Leh? Cause its crazyy!!

[@jimvortakana7316]

7:20 Do you have video of getting surrounded by beggars?

[@KarlRock]

Na, it was on my first ride to Leh, before I started KZbin.
