Traveling Rajasthan, India | Exploring the Thar Desert

[@TheNewTravel]

Feels great seeing an old travel video like this. The good old days indeed! 👍

[@RickFidelisReed]

Yes ‼️

[@kevinfleming8034]

Love these “old school” videos. Traveling may have been easier but video stabilization was not! 😂 This was around when I started following you. Maybe even pre 50k subs!

[@TheEddieToro]

Hey there GABE. Traveling in India is an adventure hands down. The spiritual journey is even far greater. I loved it when I was there in 2019. Your vlog on RISHIKESH got me to include RISHIKESH in my North India trip. Thanks a million GABE!!!!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Very cool.

[@TheEddieToro]

@@GabrielTravelerVideos Really GABE my gratitude to you for showing me Rishikesh in such a cool 😎 way. I originally went there for 4 days and ended up staying for 10 and wanted more but my budget and trip time was coming to an end. The Himalayas in Himachal Pradesh in the villages of Bhalyani and Gargi were waiting for me. I have two simple yet nice vlogs on them. Have a good evening as yours is just starting a d mine is at 9:33pm marker Bigots, COLOMBIA 🇨🇴 time though I'm living in Guarne about 40 minutes away from Medellín. Hsve you ever visited Medellín? Bogota I know you have as I saw a vlog you made there or was it Cartagena in which you tell the story about how your laptop 💻 I believe was stolen out of your security locker at a hostel. Medellín is the city of eternal spring and becoming a digital nomad haven fast.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I haven't been to Medellin yet. Luckily I never had a laptop stolen, but my wallet was pickpocketed in Bogota. You're probably thinking of the video I made at my hostel in Cartagena talking about keeping stuff safe at hostels.

[@TheEddieToro]

@@GabrielTravelerVideos Yeah that´s the one. I got my wires crossed regarding what was stolen. You should consider Medellín as it is fast beoming the most modern city in LatAm. Many foreigners are who are pensioners are loking to m,ake Medellín their home due to the weather, nice people, much lower cost of living, great things to do in and outside of the city, great health and dental care which is awhole lot more affordable than the US, etc......

[@TheEddieToro]

@@GabrielTravelerVideos GABE and may I add that Medellin is a very safe places to visit for Americans, Canadians, Europeans and all compared to the Pablo Escobar dark period that brought this city and country such a bad rap. Near thiscity you can go and explore the small picturesque town of Guatapé, Peñol Rock (these first 2 are 10 minutes from each other and big on North Americans, Europeans and Asians MUST VISIOT list when in Medellín), nature stuff like Salto del Buey, Arvi park,Rio Claro natural reserve and Rio Melcocho. Rio Claro natural reserve is very special as the river has crystal clear water and there are these underground caves I hear of with water flowing through them and foreigners from Europe love going there. There are plenty guides there to take you in groups even if you don´t know the other folks. I am gonna do it this coming Holy week as my time in Colombia is drawing to a close after 9 years here. I´m gonna go out and live my dream of traveling the world to the destinations I want to get to know, make travel vlogs about those placers with some being about tips and recommendations and all the while working as an online English language teacher through Skype, WhatsApp and Google Meet as I am doing now from my dad´s countryhouse here in Guarne, Antioquia, Colombia. Just to et you and all know I´m Colombian-American. I was born and bred in the US, mostly South Carolina and Georgia and my teens in Queens, NY.

I was getting ready to say that Gabriel's stay in the U.S. was short-lived. Then, I read all of the intro.

[@quanbrooklynkid7776]

haha

[@WhereDoWeTravelNow]

Beautiful video, Gabriel! I could not tell it was 2014. The image quality was really damn good! That makes me wanna travel, but to be honest, what doesn't? Haha! Hopefully you find more old footage you didn't use yet. Looking forward to watching it.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Right on, good to hear. Yeah I have tons of old footage to go through, I'll definitely be coming up with some more stuff to post.

[@federicocastro6825]

Pls. visit again India. For me the most amazing videos you've done is when you were in Varanasi and in Rajasthan travelling in a bike.

[@reelhappytravellers2691]

To me, India’s always represented ‘everything’; it represents ‘all.’ Everything is there. You can stay there forever, and you’ll never feel like you’ve missed out on life!!!

[@adataylor6793]

Go for it Gabriel, for us who appreciate your videos it is worth it!

[@JacquesV43]

I visited Bikaner with my wife on 2012. After a tip on Rajasthan by buses and trains , we saw almost the same things ...thanks for your coverage, Very good memory

[@michaeladrienne7504]

I am just watching your videos and boom you are uploading a new one 😂🤣😅 I love it! The best way to travel the world is with You. I was just on the top of Mount Fuji with You when you are uploading this one. Thank You for sharing all this beauty and adventure with us.

[@joelincolnlincoln6315]

I love the India videos the most. I've never been anyplace outside of n america

[@keepcreationprocess]

But when was this Gabriel ? That's amazing, time flies......You capture history.....sssooo beautiful

[@jeromejames7145]

I like the intro. It's so good!

[@kishorejayaswal1500]

Enjoy the break! Can’t wait for your adventures to continue.

Enjoying these videos gabe!

[@TrekRoadbiker]

Great video Gabriel. Sort of hoping you return to India so we can see more of that amazing country

[@paralleluniverse7355]

Cool to see a part of India that I've never seen or heard of. I miss incredible India alot and hope to revisit one day. Bird is the word!

[@martinarodmell5196]

Hi Gabriel! Thank you it was uplifting. Watching here in England, can't even visit my own country Czech republic for last 5 month. These are hard times now, this gave me hope that one day I can go again traveling. I wanted to see Nepal.

[@Amacott99]

Hello from India Gabriel! Awesome video yet again! Take care!

[@MrTraveller.]

Great times, places & memories in the open road. Cheers to more travels ahead. Hello from Taiwan 🇹🇼

[@soumyadeeplovestoexplore6631]

Travelling in our country's buses is really easy and cheap, you don't have to book ticket first, just ask the people around there which bus will go and they'll guide you, then after getting inside, the bus conductor will come to you and charge for ticket. But on the other otherhand it quite risk and dangerous also as they sometimes drives too much reckless which causes most number of accidents compared to other countries.

[@jasontheworldisyours]

Miss these cool t-shirts you use to buy in India

[@travelandtash]

Agreed! Such beautiful T-shirt designs. 😍

[@TucsonArizona]

Wow! Interesting! Thanks for sharing! There are some cool places here in Tucson, Arizona where I live, but I still miss visiting other places too and like watching these travel vlogs until I can see them myself. Keep your content coming! I’m following!

[@PatriceIci]

Please don't stop making travel vlogs, Gabe. Your videos are great.i especially like the longer ones. Put your feet up for a few weeks then take us all on a road trip!

[@waitaminute2015]

Thanks Gabe!

[@TheEddieToro]

GABE I´m in COLOMBIA now and have been for 9 years now. I wish I were back in INDIA now too. It´s my home though I am not there physically speaking. Going onto Mexico for 6 months and then hopefully India will be reopened by December when I plan to travel from Mexico. INDIA IS MY SPIRITUAL CONNECTION, THUS MY HOME.

I love looking back on this fabulous adventure 😍

[@TheSwede70]

I am Tanzania. No tests required, no quarantine. I really had a great month here now.

[@dreamthedream8929]

But you need visa and complications due to that, in fact this applies to most african countries. I cant even find any useful information where and how i can get visa for tanzania

[@TheSwede70]

@@dreamthedream8929 Most countries can get a visa on arrival, like I did. Where did you do your research? Or did you just write here making something up? :-) I dont know you residency so I cant answer for you, if you need a visa or not.

[@dreamthedream8929]

@@TheSwede70 this is true, you are from Sweden I am from Latvia and there isn't even enough visa information for Tanzania. When I went to South Africa I had to do loads of paperwork in the embassy in Stockholm and slept at the airport in Namibia because people from my organisation told me that I could simply go to Namibia without visa. These African countries can be tricky. Thats why we Europeans dont go to them much. We can go to the canary Islands, reunion, madeira, martinique, guadeloupe and the azores freely without any such worries

[@TheSwede70]

@@dreamthedream8929 It is always important to check the latest of course. Out of 78 countries visited now, Tanzania must have been one of the easiest to get a visa on arrival. It is all over the internet, this information. So easy with Tanzania. There are far more worse countries in terms of information. You can go here tomorrow and get the visa on arrival. That is the rules right now. 50 USD in cash and you are in.

[@dreamthedream8929]

@@TheSwede70 how do you know this? Where is the link? They also told me just like that how easy it is to go to namibia and get visa there upon the arrival and i slept at the airport a few nights there until the embassy sorted out the situation. No more

[@donstravelsandrants.]

Amazing footage.

[@valeriehaskins7238]

Just wanted to share how I started following your vlog , during lockdown last summer I wanted to just get away wanted to experience one of my fav places Patmos. I googled and started watching your video and I thought this guy is walking all over this island, I liked the style of your video so authentic so I have been watching ever since and actually bought a GoPro to do some of my own filming.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Very cool. :)

[@KenMathTeacher]

Great video, I love seeing the roads less traveled. I'm just curious but when you do go off the beaten track and into these small villages, where do you stay and how do you communicate? It seems hotels and English is almost non-existent in these type of places.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I stayed at a guest house in the village. I forget how I found out about it but I might have just showed up without knowing if there was a place to stay. English is pretty commonly spoken around India but otherwise you manage to get by. For example when looking for the right bus all you need to know is the name of wherever you're going and then ask around, it doesn't even matter if anyone speaks English, they'll point you in the right direction.

[@KenMathTeacher]

@@GabrielTravelerVideos Thank you! Great advice, I admire your adventurous spirit! : )

I've got to edit some of my old footage too Gabe. Inspired to go to India from your vids that's when I first started watching you in 2014 I think

[@HeyVernTravels]

Ha I was thinking huh...Indian now ....Had me there for a moment!

[@adventurekumar]

Great old day indian video, visit once again northeast india

[@anatolienreisen]

At 6:55 did you notice the swastika or hook cross on the door edge in the back ground? The Germans used it back in time of the Nazis. It was often discussed, where this sign comes from. Here we are, now you know it better.

I heard travel to India for tourists may open up in June.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Excellent news. Good time to go to the Himalayas. Everywhere else will be crazy hot.

No problem, thanks for watching.

[@jpham346]

Do you need certified covid19 vaccined to get in there, then out to other country, and back to U.S. airport?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Not sure, I haven't been to India since before the pandemic. You can't go to India right now, it's completely closed to foreign tourists. I heard that it might open up in June but no idea if that's true.

[@roberthayes2027]

I'd never heard of these cranes and I'd love to see them. Do you believe Marie Antoinette actually had something to do with them getting to siberian lands? I'd skip that siberian winter too. In fact, for skipping US halloween, thanksgiving, Xmas AND new years these demoiselles might be the excuse. Thx
