Hii bro teach leaning English 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 IAM Indian IAM a boy 15 age
That bus driver has some good driving skills to make it all the way up the Himalaya!
No doubt. It's a tough job.
hmm they are Himalayan driver's bro. 😉
Over 50 million Indian lives in Himalayan height ,they know Himalaya
i just love to see your videos it makes me feel like i am in that place..
Cool.
thanks for your videos :)
Jessica Garcia Guerra I know right?! It’s like living vicariously through Gabe 😊
yes totally :)
@@Jessicatx956 hi i am from India in Dehradun Uttarakhand this video you watched that place my home town
Where ever you go in India, you will see Oppo and Vivo ads 😁
And the uncle in the bus talking in garwali..haha..my local language!
Pata kar lo bhaijj Mil jaali seat 🙋
Kajal where are you from
In spite of the fact that I am an Indian, I am learning more about India from your video. Thanks man!
Cool.
Mr. Gabriel that Man ( bus conductor ) Was not wrong actually he saying for government bus and you trevlling in private bus Compney her name is viswanath sewa. Sorry because my English so weak .thanks for India visit welcome again.when you read my comment so please give me answer Iam waiting
Woww.....I live in Delhi and my hometown is in Devprayag (Uttrakhand), people in the bus speaking my native language GARHWALI. 😄
THANKS GABRIEL , take care and Come back soon😊
the other side of the Himalayas is Tibet
Correct.
It's very interesting that you include the traffic in your video. I like genuine daily life mixed into your videos. Shows what it's really like to travel. Not allways easy and quick.
I love your videos. You are like my eyes and legs going to places in India that I wish I could visit. I love the way you so comfortably walk anywhere as a tourist. You must have an iron stomach, man. Your enthusiasm and energy are off the charts! The still shots are very cool. Thanks
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.
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.
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.
Oh I thought the reverse :)
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.
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.
Your love for Himalaya is depicted in your video!!! Great going bro !!!
You could actually have a real thriving small business selling food/water in the backed up traffic! What an epic video. Awesome.
Again an awesome vlog ,love it..India is incredible
thanks to visiting my hometown
Hope you visit next time soon.
Cool, you're from Uttarkashi? I will show more of the town in another video, when I came back.
2:20 Ok he is a private Bus service operator and he would definitely wont want to give info about other competitor bus operator ( Govt and other private bus services). This is normal in India. Usually private bus operator stand/roam around govt bus service stop to collect ill informed people (but you are smart !) .
Discovered you a week ago. Now I'm going back to your older videos and that's all I've been watching all weekend long! I'm a train attendant in Canada. I enjoy following you around on your trips!
That's awesome, thanks a lot for watching!
He is doing this video not for views but to share the experience that he had with others.
Being an Indian I have still not visited Uttarakhand :( .. I have been watching your videos from past few days and thank you Gabriel for inspiring me to visit that beautiful place
When asking for information I have found it best to ask more than one person. I usually thank them, walk away and ask again the next person I see.
Absolutely. Crucial tip. Never take anyone's answer as the final answer, unless it's an official desk of some sort. Try to confirm the same answer at least three times.
Your enthusiasm made me smile throughout this video. You seemed very excited!
Excellent.
Hi Gabriel; how do you take care of your gears (GoPro, Cameras, lenses) while filming on dusty road like 8:44? And, what editing program do you use for your videos? Keep up the good work bro! Namaste!
Gabriel...sorry if you've been asked this before...have you ever traveled extensively on the ancient Silk Road routes? Would live to see some or all of that!
Your channel is truly the best travel channel on RUclips. And I have seen lots of travel docs. 😊
Excellent, thanks a lot.
Super cool video! Music, coverage all reflect your excitement!! Enjoyed it thoroughly!!
Sweet.
RUclips is a great motive for lonely people to travel and communicate via the web!
8:42 that drop though :O
You definitely learned some bargaining skills here..!!
What a crazy ride! I would have been doing a number two in my pants driving up some parts of this road! LOL!
Thank u 😊
Thanks Gabriel, loved the walking tour of Rishikesh. I appreciate your consistency given the variables in India.
Excellent as always Gabe, Thank you very much. You staying abroad for the holidays, if so Happy Holidays to you. Be safe
Wonderful footage!!!! 😊 I’m subbing to your channel because I love your videos and you blog very very good! Keep up the wonderful work and wonderful videos! Sending love from Detroit Michigan 💜😊
Your Vlogs are just awesome.. seen your Old Delhi vlogs too, respect for showing the uglier side of Indian cities and hats off to your sense of adventure. 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..!
I'd be glad if you replied..
10:45 Tehri dam, Uttarakhand in 2008; dam is 800 feet, tehri village is submerged into this dam and the population was relocated to the new built town called "new tehri"
you could listen to the folk song dedicated to tehri village ruclips.net/video/zcxmd5DN8S4/видео.html
Fantastic video! Thanks.👍👍👍
Epic, and that cow almost entering a restaurant - in the west?....call in the national guard!....:-)
Lookslike She has been coming for long (they say in video) and they ask restaurant owner to feed her by giving rotis (Cow munch on roties in cities where they cant find grass).
That could be someone’s Aunt. lol
This video contains some info as to why a cow is revered. ruclips.net/video/DiaASD7to2s/видео.html
vaibhav satpute thank you 🙏 for details
Gabby can you please elaborate more on food each time you try, options taste cost etc
Will you be coming to Shimla anytime soon? Not very far away from where you are. You'll love it!!
I passed through there in 2014 on my way to Manali, nice area. But I won't be going there again on this trip.
Looking over the edge around 4:42 made me dizzy. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Beautiful place!
You are a killer negotiator my friend.
Gab , thank you for sharing.
I am just like you :) always crazy to see himalaya mountains.
By the way, sitting in last row of himalaya bus is a challenge ;)
phaaaa, that cow's a killer.........love it!
Patti Zayas india is great COUNTRY
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.
You rode that bus on the back seat all the way!!..it must have been one hell of a dumpy ride!!!!! And must say, you've got a great camra there...
This is incredibly interesting. I'm afraid of heights.
Osm bro I am from Uttrakhand..
I this place my Village..
Missing my Uttarakhand again. Happy journey onward to Gangnani for hot springs and don't miss Harsil (too beautiful town)
Very nice .... awesome
You really got a good deal there only 480rs and it had TV and hot water
I was in Rishikesh in April,2017. Its a great place. Nice to see ur vdos. Seriously, it feels I'm there again...
Trop cool Gabriel merci from France 😊💙🙏
No doubt uttrakhand is amazing.. but just travel Kinnaur once. You will love it. We at our hotel apple pie, will assure you to give best services.
hey Gab, that guy on bus stand was a govt bus conductor and that stand was govt bus stand but you got a private bus on private bus stand, so he may not have information regarding private bus. he gave you information about govt bus.
19:20 It is the staple every day vegetarian food at Indian homes. Those with paneer masala /tikka etc are not every day but restaurant foods. No one eats paneer everyday in homes.
This is so inspiring
Watching your vids first thing after waking up, ive decided id follow your trail next year till the Himalayas
I liked the pic snap sound effects ,
And you identified the chardham pics (i can only identify 2)that shows how much work and planning you do on your tours . I didn't visited as many places as you did in India
love from India
OMG monkeys walking in the streets, beautiful destination, hug from Bogota! watch our videos in Colombia and animate to come!
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. :)
Even the locals are on the side checking the views. I live by niagara falls and take it for granted
Super amazing place
THANK YOU GABRIEL TRAVELER.
Thanks for the video but as I am from India, I have to make one suggestion and that is never to keep your hands out of the window. Never.
I like your videos. I feel I'm the traveling.....
Hie i stay up there in himalayas n u can even drink that water of ganga in rushikesh bcz its very clear.
amazing. I can’t believe you went out after that long journey. shower is my week point, if I can’t get a good one I’m grumpy 😆
looking forward to next videos from here. gopro took some really good footages in this video.
take care.
Love it when the music kicks in at 9:02! Those views look amazing too. Have you booked a room on top of Mt. Everest yet Gabe?!
Next time come to kenya
You walk straight, that's great:) Keep on trucking!
Cool. What is it about the Himalayas or India that makes you want to keep going back? Just curious. Could you maybe make a video on that?
M G chicks
Hi Gabriel, I was curious if you had missed that 10 am bus would you have to wait till the next day to catch a bus? Would you just stay in that area until the next morning? Great scenery. Good luck and safe travels.
Good question. I'd asked about buses beforehand and been told that direct buses to Uttarkashi left until 11 in the morning. I made a point of getting there by 10 so that hopefully I'd get one around that time and if not one at around 11. But I didn't have a firm confirmation on the bus times so I wasn't certain. In case it turned out I'd missed any of the direct buses, I had a map of the area and I would have caught a bus to a town in the right general direction, and from there caught another bus going in the right direction. The difference would have been that I might have had to take several buses instead of one direct bus, and perhaps wouldn't have made it all the way to Uttarkashi that day and would have to stay in some small town along the way. So I was prepared for that possibility. The awesome thing about traveling by bus in India is there's always, always a bus leaving soon going in the direction you want to go if not directly there, so you can always get moving and make some progress.
Buses in the hilly areas of uttarakhand don't run in the night. Most buses start from their source stations early and reach the destination by 7-8 pm. In the neighbouring himalayan state of himachal pradesh buses do run in the night but on select routes. If you go to a remote village up in the himalayas, you won't get anything after 1-2 pm. Hitchhiking is easy though in the himalayas and people are friendly. Can't say the same about rest of india.
wdp4wdm3a Well I can say that for Chandigarh, Himachal Pradesh and Uttrakhand. Can't say about the rest of India.
the buses which will reach there after evening are allowed because it is not normal indian Highway. But you can easily get private rented card or bike which is very cheap
Wow ! Your adventures are fascinating. This is an alien world to a westerner like me. Not a tourist around. I want some Lintel Curry, too.
I like detailed vblog of yours. I like how you mention pricing of food, motel and transportation. 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.
Cool, thanks. I'll keep it in mind.
beautiful video
your commitment to studying to give us facts is impressive ty
Did you visited the norway if yes please send me the link or if not please visit there world most beautiful country after Switzerland

Good to see you bargaining.
Can’t wait to find out your next destination!
Awesome Gabe, fabulous journey!
Amazing video
By seeing your videos, I feel I myself is doing the travel.
Thanks bro for visiting Uttarakhand my hometown 😇hope you liked the ppl and atmosphere out there 😄
Lots of love ❤️ sorry for any inconvenience
Yeah it was great, people were amazing. Beautiful part of India.
Happy and safe journey best of luck
Wow....very adventurous
That was just amazing to watch.
Wow what a great video.That bus on the side of the mountain scares me I would be hiding down back of the seat.Matedo you carry yyou're laptop and go pro gear in you're big rucksack?I'm off to Thailand/Cambodia in February and not sure if I should put my gear in the back pack or a desperate smaller one.
My cameras, laptop, wallet, passport, etc. always goes in my smaller bag that I have with me. I never want to leave that stuff out of my sight. Your big backpack might end up in a compartment in the back of the bus, on top or who knows where. So just in case it disappears, I want to have all the essentials with me. The big backpack is just for clothes, blanket, toiletries, books, etc.
Gabriel Traveler thanks buddy its exactly what i needed to hear.Ill get myself a smaller one too .Enjoy youre travels and keep em vlogs coming.
hey gabreil next time pls visit harshil u will be surprised and beware of forgery and high prices of tickets
Visit villages in andhra pradesh , especially Godavari districts .. they are beautiful...
Reminds me of home in Appalachia. Maybe you're going to China. Tibet.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
I would sit near the exit, ready to jump!
Formula for a long Indian bus trip: put your mind on infinity and your ass on eternity.
Visit Visakhapatnam it's one of best tourism place in Andhra Pradesh, India
Thanks for the ride :)
drive through mountains is like adrenaline rush... you could have tried a solo ride on bike... u cant even imagine the experience...
Char dam yatra,might be gettin a bit cold,nice to do.That ice lingam its apparently gettin smaller.
Sri Krishna Sudhamsu Kambhammettu vthanks
