THE HIMALAYA EXPERIENCE | Himachal Pradesh, India

My last day of traveling in the Himalaya Mountains of Himachal Pradesh, India, from Vashisht to the Kullu Manali Airport. If you're looking for a place to stay in Vashisht I highly recommend staying at Manu's hotel, called Zuri Guesthouse or Manu Zuri House. The video I showed at the end was one of Backpacker Ben's, you can watch it here: • She Got What She Deser...

I’ve absolutely loved these Himalaya episodes, Gabriel. I’ve been to India 5 times, love the place - and have watched all your past India videos because you obviously love the country too. Apart from Darjeeling, I’d never been in the mountains (Pakistan yes, but not India), but my husband and I were planning to go in November 2022. I had a route all planned out (Rishikesh and north from there). Sadly, my husband got ill and we had to cancel, and now I know he’ll never travel again. But watching your latest videos, I’m determined to still go one day, either on my own (I’m 70 now!), or persuade a friend!

[@jacksoncornbreadmcbride6763]

Have you been to Goa to party with the Russian drunkards?

[@sayanchx]

wishing your husband and you good health and happiness ....

[@jacksoncornbreadmcbride6763]

Thanks for opening up Annie. We're here for you.

[@subratamandal5202]

Hi Annie, Rishikesh is a nice place, but being in the must visit list of most of the foreign tourists, it's too crowded. If you want peace n tranquility, I suggest you to visit offbeat n remote spots in the Indian Himalayas. There are many hidden gems. Naggar, as covered by Gabriel in one of those (as I saw it 10 years back). You may also explore Lahaul, Spiti n Ladakh. All the best.

[@annwilliams5590]

So cool of them to say "farewell" with a firework display!!!!.....Certainly enjoyed the calm of the beautiful Himalayas journey, another side of India......

[@liam5382]

Ive loved watching these videos in India. Thanks

[@ageoflove1980]

Love the traditional architecture in these parts, especially the carved wood.

[@subratamandal5202]

Naggar Castle is a hotel run by HPTDC. Once at Naggar, one should also visit Roerich art gallery (walking distance from Castle).

[@crombelsla9800]

You are a remarkable traveler covering many different regions of the world, natural disasters in Nepal ,and Iceland, Gaza and Israel Issues. You have also shared your insights and experiences with a global audience, and all of that in past year alone or so. Stay Safe great current series.

[@sandradalessandro2935]

Luv your wings against that building 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋 in. Luv with India the sky. The mountains. The people are so kind Thanks for taking us along beautiful quality video adventures And yes. Like a fairytale 💙💜🦋🙏🏻🦋🙏🏻🦋🌼

[@IsometricAgenda]

Ist's so cool to see you hiking to jogni walterfalls. I got to know my best Friends from Delhi, America, Australia and Israel in Manali, We all together went there. Awesome memories, i recognize nearly every little bit of the track ❤

[@michellesteinbeiss-bryan7366]

Oh man! I cannot get over those INCREDIBLE views!! To see that beautiful waterfall in the same scene as those amazing snow capped mountains! Breathtaking! You said it best, “That view never gets boring.” Another fantastic video, producing your best content right now. The firework finale seemed the perfect way to end this series. I’ve enjoyed EVERY single minute of EVERY single video from this Himalayas series. There’s just NOTHING that compares to the Himalayas!! One of your very BEST (if not THE best) travel adventure series. ❤️👏👏👏❤️ Bravo!! 👏👏👏

[@comfortroosterrecords]

great one. best video of the trip . ti have loved this entire series. your enthusiasm reflects the beauty of the place and of the people.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Great, glad to hear it.

[@linusr.5153]

I was in the southern part of Himachal Pradesh. Driving up to Chamba. From my view, this is most beautiful land I've ever seen. "You see the view?"

[@Peggy-Kay]

That castle was so beautiful! And your driver/guide/hotel owner was so kind (and easy on the eyes)! I am going to miss the Himalayas. It has been an epic series.

[@aakashPotter]

The "Beas" river is pronounced as "Vyaas", named after an ancient sage ("vashishth" is also the name of an Indian sage)

[@jampuppy]

Depends where in India you're from. Most Bengalis pronounce v like b, like Benaras and Aurobindo.

[@rishavlala709]

​@@jampuppydepends on where the river is from, as it's not from Bengal, hence it's Vyaas.

[@jampuppy]

@@rishavlala709 Not exactly. We take our native language and its phonetic traits wherever we go. If a sound doesn't occur in that language it is usually replaced with the closest related sound that does. In the case of v that becomes b for most Bengalis speakers. For Russians w is the challenge and often becomes v. I do agree that when learning a placename it's a good idea to try to pronounce it as locals do, though. 🙂

[@junglie]

yeah b & v are interchangeable in india i found, very confusing on road signs for me the first time in the mountains.

[@buntipapu3816]

@jampuppy Do you guys call West Bengal as Best Bengal?

[@solecasioa6334]

Gabriel in wonderland! ❤

[@jeffryan7262]

Nice shoutout to ‘Backpacker Ben’ at the end!

[@francoisbouchard9488]

We stayed at Naggar Castle back in 1991. I remember it seemed more "rustic" in those days. Either my memory is bad, or they really spruced up the place. In any event, the stay was a highlight of our 2-month long trip to India.

[@Rafa_Llamazares]

Thanks for the vid Gabe!!

[@MilaTheTravelJunkie]

Lovely videos in the Himalayas, the weather truly cooperated to make wonderful videos!

Going back to the video where you discussed the giant spider in your room, I really wish you had filmed that monster. I would have loved to have seen her (fron afar!).

Beautiful location, always ideal for mountain adventures 💚💚

[@wilfredotorres6628]

Hi Gabriel, that was an incredible getaway day. A nice start to the day hiking up to the waterfall and stopping at the outside restaurant very nice ambiance quite peaceful. I found the architecture very interesting Manu pointed out the buildings with a tower-like structure called Kath Kuni but then you have a balcony around the upper area of the structure reminds me of the similar structures you would see in Japan from what see on Wikipedia they appear to be very energy efficient this type of construction is thousands of years oddly enough this type of construction allows the structure to flex with the seismic waves offering excellent structural and seismic resilience.

[@ArcAudios77]

Was a good watch, thanks Gabriel. Regards sent from Western Scotland.
