  • @wdp4wdm3a
    @wdp4wdm3a 7 лет назад +14

    That guy wasn't wrong. Initially you went at the main bus stand where the public state run buses come to and leave from. You took a private bus from the adjacent bus stand which goes exclusively to gangotri via tehri. Fun fact : tehri was one of the capital of garhwal but the whole town was submerged in the reservoir of tehri dam in early 2000s. . The entire population was relocated and a new city, new tehri came into being.

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  7 лет назад +5

      I guess it depends on your perspective. A hundred feet away from him there was a bus waiting to go to Uttarkashi in ten minutes. The other guy knew to go to the other station, he didn't.

    • @wdp4wdm3a
      @wdp4wdm3a 7 лет назад +1

      The weather was a bit hazy, still charming though. The best time to go to the upper reaches is mid may - june and the months of September and october. Also, you have got to do the gaumukh- tapovan trek. It is where the ganges originates. Surrounded by all major himalayan peaks, you would be walking at the base of those peaks (chaukhamba, bhagirathi, nilkanth, etc). Also the surrounding area of nanda devi biosphere reserve which has the highest peak of Uttarakhand, Nanda devi. I hope you come here sometime again in the summer.

      @GabrielTravelerVideos  7 лет назад +2

      I got way better shots of the Himalayas on the day I left Uttarkashi, when the skies were clearer. And yes I want to go up there again and explore more sometime during April/May or September/October when you can get up into the mountains. Too cold now, unless you're ready for some snow trekking.

    • @wdp4wdm3a
      @wdp4wdm3a 7 лет назад +1

      It is a different world up there. Specially the region where the pine trees end and the deodar trees start to appear. There are hot springs, vantage points exotic flora and fauna completely out of this world along with the nicest people on the planet. Off late many indian travellers have started hiking as well and some trekking companies have overexploited some trekking routes.But the majority of the treks are completely wild and beautiful.The best place in the world if you are interested in trekking. Famous mountainers like eric shipton, reinhold messner, frank smythe,tenzing norgay etc all came here before going on to the expeditions on mount everest. An escape for us indians, really with all the chaos in the plains. Just like yosemite and yellow stone are to the people on the western coast of the U. S.

    1:40 : That's a pro tourist right there! :D Others, take note. When random taxi/auto drivers give you an amount of 200/ 400/ 500 rs, don't just agree. Give one or two sentences and pretend you've visited already a day before .. try first for a rate at 50%. The drivers will 'pretend to be shocked' at that rate and then you both can settle at 70% of the original rate. Frequently works.

      84, country import indian dairy products. No other cow in the world can give you A2 protein milk than indian cow which can cure many generic diseases... that's the reason Indian cow are god for locals.
      The average life of Indian cow is 2.8 times more than others because cows get complete freedom to roam anywhere and cows eat all herbs and return to home at evening to her home. I love cows but I cant afford any because I live in town.

It's a bit embarassing for us to see through your eyes how our societies exist in such cramped spaces. Anyways, seeing your Vlogs I instantly remember those subtle moments I have experienced myself while travelling and experience all such moments once again with your eyes (or camera) all this feels so 'real'. Thank You..!

    Since, you are going to Gangotri, please visit Gomukh, the place from where river Ganga starts to flow. It's a serene and surreal place to be in. You will have an outburst of emotions once you reach there(Gomukh) that I can guarantee. Gomukh is way up ahead of Gagotri. It's a three days trek way up and back to Gangotri. :)

I wish you could mention each juncture when you take public transportation... details such as location, city, company name of the motel or transportation, if any mobile phones work in that area or internet usage details! Distance of the journey when you mention prices also would help... Lovely effort ❤️. Appreciate...
    It’s poor neighborhood, so facilities are run down.
