This is the second series I have watched in your Channel (1st is the Egypt series) and I must say you are best at what you do. Best of luck for your future.

[@kevinfleming8034]

Hi Gabe, love how you structured this trip as a series. The story feels more complete and keeps you wanting more! I think you are onto something with this format :)

[@rabeenrae4062]

How many times you take a video shot, again return back and walk 😂 .. you are such a amazing person gabriel have a safe journey buddy, Heartly wel come to nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵

[@nikhilkay1]

I have same tshirt as you Gabriel, my wife got me from Kathmandu. Exact same print and color as well

[@stanleybercovitz3568]

I have been living, working and traveling in Nepal since 1987 and I send all of my Nepal clients to your videos. It has made their planning and ultimately their trips much less ... uncomfortable. Some say it "ruins" the surprise of Nepal, but it doesn't and I opt for a bit of education and preparedness over the real shock of not being prepared, being uncomfortable and not having a good experience. Thanks for your productions Gabriel! I am actually packing up to head back over in about 10 days. I will say however, that he makes traveling alone look easy, and although it's how I prefer to travel and it's easier when I can at least speak Nepali, having a guide can sometimes get you reduced rates, allows you to be accepted and to get to know the locals a bit better, saves you time that you can use to explore, keeps you safer in unfamiliar areas and gives you a lifelong friend (not to mention providing income for someone and it doesn't cost you much). Later on you can enjoy the freedom of traveling on your own! It provides encouragement to return again and again!

[@huacamaya119]

Wow! You just took me to the top of the world and back down!!! What an amazing experience!! I almost got a bit emotional as you said goodbye at the end of the trail. Watching your videos is like being right there with you. Happy trails Gabe!!! Be safe😊👍

[@sandvenexplorer]

My beat is that the popularity of this amazing country is gonna grow the next few years so this is the best time to go there I guess.. Hope the meal was good. My experience with the food was that is was good enough TASTE, but then I had to stay INSIDE the restroom for a couple of days. Good times...

[@karenf14]

The best of all your videos. I could smell the fresh air, feel the cool breeze and sun on my face, and even felt dizzy when you walked over the foot bridges. I wanted to reach out to touch the goats and chickens and ask the lady if I could hold her baby for a minute. I just didn’t want it to end. Continue safe traveling 🧭

[@oggie1967]

Enjoyed the whole series of Himalaya videos! Thanks for taking us there!👍

My first language is Tamang, second nepali,third English. I've learned Hindi through media and recently korean. Diversity is fun.

[@roodborstkalf9664]

So you are now pentalingual. Can you really speak and understand Korean now? For Westerners this is very difficult to learn. Maybe there is some similarity between Nepali and Korean.

[@thecardtrickstudent3870]

Roodborst Kalf nepali and korean aren’t similar at all. Nepalese learn Korean mostly for employment opportunities in South Korea.

What an adventure! It was really great to watch. Travel safe Gabe!

[@voxley19]

I have watched every second of these seven amazing trekking videos which are outstanding in every way. But then that is what we have come to expect from Gabriel! One thing that struck me is that some of those suspension bridges are not for the faint-hearted! I am also intrigued by the checkpoint in this last video- was it the actual Tibet border?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

That checkpoint wasn't the actual border, but the border was only a few miles away. I don't think they would have let me go beyond that check point.

[@pasqualeabarno]

💞Excellent... In the mountains are so beautiful and quiet... Grazie mille... Gabriel... For this video and so marvelous views... 💞

That one tune sounds just Eric Clapton playing that Otis Rush song All Your Love with the Bluesbreakers.

Thanks again Gabriel, quite a journey, I thought the Langtang trek had been wiped out! Good to see the resilience of the mountain folk to rebuild and carry on... definitely gonna go for it before too long. In the meantime I'll continue traveling the trail with you.....Take care

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yeah it was affected pretty badly by the quake, but they rebuilt parts of the trail and now it's fully operational. Here's my full video about the trek: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXeUfXR4q9yDftE

Just finished your series of videos on your latest trek into Himalayas of Nepal. Curious what motivates you to take on these challenging journeys. I understand the unique beauty of the place and the challenge of a winter solo trek but you don't reveal why at your age and 30 years of challenging travel as to what keeps you going! I guess I was expecting more reflection from you after this EPIC journey.....and what the future looks like for you in 2020 and beyond.
