Thanks a lot for watching and safe journeys!
Wow awesome that you are back there man. We are actually looking at going to either Himachal Pradesh, uttarakhand, ladakh sometime next year. Want to see how the Himalayan region is there since Nepal now makes it mandatory to have a guide hiking there. Gabe in Greece and India are my favorite vids 🇮🇳 🇬🇷 ❤
If it interests you, I have two whole series about Mcleodganj devoted to exploring Tibetan culture.
Big fan of Gabriel Traveler here.
Nepal has had many missing unsolved cases so consider yourself lucky you didn’t go missing in Nepal
GReat to have videos from India again, my favorite country to watch!
Greece is much better 😊
@@clarkmadrosen1780 Your opinion..😉
so u like to see poverty and lots of garbage on the street?😀
I'm so glad you're back in India, away from all the middle east problems.
Gabe, you're simply the best! 🌟 Your videos are outstanding, and they make us feel like we're right there with you on your adventures. Thanks for sharing these incredible journeys with us. Keep up the great work! 🏞️🙏
The Dalai Lama is at home. He’s had a bout of the flu recently and his doctors recommended he not travel right now. So he’s there. Maybe you’ll catch a glimpse of him if you’re lucky! Thank you for showing his residence
Thanks for the info, good to know. I'm guessing he probably isn't seeing random visitors while he's sick.
@@GabrielTravelerVideosimagine he's like a huge follower of yours 🤣
You never know.
@@GabrielTravelerVideosHe just met NZ cricket team.. Few cricket world cup matches r being held in Dharmashala.
@@sandipk2575 Awesome.
Gabriel-Isn't that the name of the angel of bliss.
May God protect those lovely stray dogs.
Welcome again in INDIA sir, u r in right time now, winter starting. last time due to humidity and forest fire the mountain and Himalayan range r not clear in uttarakhand. Enjoy ur trip in INDIA.
1st one gabriel.!!
And welcome one more time in India.!!!
You're third. Thanks. ✌️
You nailed it Gab. How you explained you can go to Tibet but not HH Dalai Lama and Tibetans. Thank you for your knowledge, wisdom and spreading positivity and truth through your travel journey. Lots of love and success ahead ❤
Back from brazil and now starting an adventure with Gabe in India. Awesome, safe travels
McLeod Ganj looks like an amazing town with great friendly people. Imagine doing a meditation class at the Dalai Lama’s palace, that would be an experience. Lots of quaint streets and lanes to explore, and so cheap. I know you have been there before but thank you for revisiting and showing your newer viewers this amazing part of the world. Looking forward to the hike in part II and more of the grand Himalaya mountains.❤
Beautiful looking region & impressed by your $22 Room.
Good watch, thanks Gabriel. Best wishes sent from Western Scotland.
Love Scotland 😊
Would love to go to Scotland
What an interesting and beautiful place. The closeness to high Himalaya looks great. I have been trekking EBC in Nepal but I might have to go these areas in India too.
Your comment about the dogs trying to catch the monkeys 😂
I appreciate your travel adventures to areas (Mcleod Ganj) where many would never have the privledge of visiting. Hope you have time to visit Srinagar. Have safe travels. Greetings from Toronto Canada.
Wow i love this area. Such a chaos on the streets and buildings. And this place is where the Dalai lama lives. Such a contrast lmao. Love it! It also gives me Uncharted2 vibes (game on playstation.) Such a great choice to return here Gabriel!
India is a hidden treasure, once you explore Mountains you would want be there again, nice vid !!!
Safe travels, Gabriel!
Like it 😊 thank you Gabriel! Looking forward to more ❤
Just stunning, we appreciate all the effort you put into your videos! I bought your book ‘Following my Thumb’ to give to my uncle for a gift. I think he’s going to love it! Thanks again for your amazing videos🏆
Excellent, I hope he enjoys it.
It's so chaotic there last place looks good for meditation and relaxing;
Great vid Gabe. Thank you very much
That painting is the Potala Palace in Lhasa.
gab..so happy to see u back in india..
I’m too old to feel jealously, but travelled enough to feel your intense joy. Dispatching Prayers for Daily Peace & Strength. Bless…
Thanks Gabriel.
May be try to go/explore TCV (Tibetan Children’s Village School).
McLeod Ganj nowadays is packed with traffic and Indian tourist.
The town was never like that when I was growing up.
May be explore Bir( 3-4 hrs drive from Dharamsala).
Have a safe trip
Yes-ji, McLeod is still interesting and great for brief visits, restaurants, shopping, Dharma contacts, etc., and a good staging place for further trekking and travels. But it's topographically tough (narrow lanes, steep inclines), and nowadays congested, over-developed and over-commercialized. Prices and polllution have increased. It would be good if some areas were off limits for car traffic. Between 1991 - 95 I lived in Dharamsala (mostly Tibetan Library and Kotwali Bazaar areas), and it was enjoyable and less hectic to visit Upper Dharamsala (McLeod, etc.). For a peaceful life and spiritual pursuits in Himachal other settlements or places might be more suitable. I lived in Bir between 1995 - 98, and since then have revisited India a few times. Ge'o!
Thank you for sharing. Great vídeo.
Great vlog gabe as alwaysxx
These are my favourite videos. Showing everyday life in these interesting out of the way places. Thanks Gabriel.
Gabriel, the town of Dharamshala is world famous now as it's hosting some games of cricket world cup. I am currently watching AUS vs NZ happening there right now.
By the way we are following you for last five years. Your vlogs are magnetic.
Thanks, Gabe. Although I enjoy most of your videos I'm really interested in India and hope you stay there for awhile.
Wow, filmed and edited same day I’m watching the vlog from Cali
loving your vlogs great channel
welcome back to asia Gabriel
Hi Gabe, thank you for showing us different places form the world. Chaos
Great to see your back in India 🇮🇳 I always enjoy there & your videos there.
*What did the sign in the monastery searching for new monks say? Inquire within!*
Very interesting place ! Excited to see more of India with Gabe
What genius engineer built that water drainage at 4:10???
I saw a few Royal Enfield Himalayan motorcycles in the video. Just bought a 2022 model myself, rode it for two weeks and have had to winterize it as it is starting to snow here in Canada...(your birthplace mate). So appropriate to see those bikes in the Himalayans. Maybe you should rent one there!
Amazing place... bring me back good old memories🙏.
It is so nice to see u in the Mighty Himalayas.
My most favouite place.
Want u in Nepal
once again also.
Definitely on my next visit to India list. Tysm.
Hi Gabriel, I'm wondering if is this the place where they have skirmishes with China and India border which back in 50's, or 60's England created a border between the two countries guessing between McLeod Ganji, India and China Border many stick fights have happened over the years. This area very much looks commerical in could see where many different businesses are sort of like Katmandu but a bit more relaxing look forward to seeing you on a trekk around the Himalayas.
That's Kashmir: ruclips.net/video/3o2-ctSy6VM/видео.html
Well that's Ladakh, Kashmir is where India and Pakisthan at it's odds.
Cricket world cup going on. Big game in Dharamshala tomorrow. Australia v Newzealand
*"They went on an epic quest over the Himalayas..."*
Possibly understatement of the milemium 😂
I'd love to see the video.
Indian the place you cant get enough off. Go Gab 🚶♂️
Looks like a great place to take psychedelic mushrooms and go hiking!😎
Your India videos are so beautiful that I watch them spellbound and imagine myself if I could travel around India like this every season.❤💚🙏
Many times in places with Tibetan culture (McLeod Ganj, Ladakh, Sikkim) but never in Tibet itself??
Not yet, super high on my travel list but a pain to get into since it's part of China. I think you have to enter from China, you can't just fly to Lhasa (I could be wrong about that) and then you have to be part of an organized tour.
i love gabriel...❤ himalayas 🙏👍💗💗💗💗
Third this time ! Cheers Gabe!!
Yo.
Just wondering if it is safe to drink tapwater from the sink in your hotelroom ? Thank for showing this interesting town.
No, I don't recommend drinking the local water, unless you purify it somehow. It's safer to drink bottled water.
Tap water from Sink is not suitable for consumption anywhere in India unlike Europe . Although roadside tap water is good as the boaring is way deeper there
Depends from hotel to hotel, in good hotels yes otherwise no
this town reminds me of Nepal a lot. very inspiring! I wonder is there a similar place in Uttarakhand, seems to be even closer to Nepal?
Dharamshala & Mcleodganj both towns are in Dharamshala District I think.
District is Kangra, which is a big city, Dharamshala and McLeod Ganj are smaller towns. Kangra is famous for Kangra Devi temple.
Kangra district
@@parulsinha3092why Macleodganj called Dharamshala?
McLeod Ganj is a part of Dharamshala, Dharamshala also has Army cantonment. The Tibetans mostly live in McLeod Ganj. Dharamshala has the church seen in the movie that was made on Mary Kom.
Tibet is very much developed now and it does not have the feudal system practiced till mid 20th century. In fact Tibet is much more developed and organized than Nepal, Bhutan or even Himachal you are visiting.
Hey Gab! You have to visit the other parts of northeast India. It will be amazing especially at this time of the year.
India is an overload of the senses. So interesting and captivating!
Finally!
The Dalai Lama has been not travelling since couple of years ago due to his knees as he needs support to walk.
If you have an Airtel simcard, you can use the newly launched 5G there, or you can use the existing 4G network which is decent. Not sure how you're getting 1G there 😂
Yes the Dharamsala Mcleodganj Gondola is new and the region is recovering from a torrential flood and landslide so power cuts and road repairs are common right now.
Nice room fair price
Lots of yoga in Dharamkot area - iyengar
Hey Gabriel ,
What was the name of the hotel in Mc Leod Ganj please
You should have stopped just a minute before for lunch, at Nicks, the best restaurant in town, imho, for breakfast, lunch or dinner 👌🏼 just after Lhamo's Croissant 😉
Hope you had a nice walk to Bhagsu, and through the indian temple up to the waterfall 🙏
Good to know, maybe I'll check it out as well.
well , i doubt power outage is common in india
i live there
Dont miss bhagsu waterfall.
Hiiii can you show the cost of the dresses and other clothes.
hey Gabriel
Gabe this is a special place I want to visit. Thank you for the video.
You are my fav ❤
👍💗💗💗💗❤❤❤❤ himalayas
If you are in India till Decembre then go to bodh gaya.
Hello 🇰🇭
Are you going back to Vashist?
Was there in 94😅.
Was also there in october 1994!😀
@@martintoepke3269 Looking back ,time goes fast.
Gabriel will you visit Patna on this trip?
Nice
23 a night. Aweso
Hi from Arizona noon 70 degrees
Wow, the prices are so cheap
Great video Gabe, Im in Canada and due to our jackass Prime Minister Trudeau, i now cant visit India, which is high on my places to visit. Thank you for showing me what I am missing.
Such a bummer situation, hopefully they get that sorted out soon.
Thanks Gabe, I think only with a new Prime minister, which cant come soon enough.@@GabrielTravelerVideos
fellow canadian and i agree with your sentiment... election can't come soon enough. Have a great trip to India when you go!
Its sorted now ❤
Hi Gabriel, please accept this constructive comment to help you build viewers. Namely, the whole world uses metric units. Unless you only want your videos to appeal to the last country in the world to not use kilometres and meters, that is.
First🎉
Second.
Say Hi to Itchy Boots!
👍👍👍
Happy travels. Are you meeting up with Harold? Is it easy to visit there?
Nice place and view
😊😊😊❤🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦
11:51 Ananda Dhaba is good one
you should go to a cricket match. Theres a big stadium at Dharmashala It would be a fun experience.
😁👍
Fun fun… except for all that goddamn honking lol
👍👍💯💯👏👏✔✔
Bro's comment about the Dogs.😂
Bro is very humourous

Boom, you're on it.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos This is going to be an amazing series...I love the scenery
@Posey12345 Congrats on first place!
Inaccurate account of what happened in Tibet but widely circulated in the west. It was rebellion in Tibet over the slave system, ccp wanted to abolish it and the feudal government in Tibet refused
I don't know what exactly was happening in Tibet at the time, but regardless, what business did China have in the affairs of Tibet, an independent country at the time? This is an absurd justification for one country completely taking over another country.
@@GabrielTravelerVideosThabks Gabriel, above is a CCP BOT spreading lies and propaganda on anything related to HH Dalai Lama, Tibet and Tibetans.
Ppl always mentioned China invaded Tibet 70 yrs ago, and nobody even mention Japan invaded China 70 years ago lol😂
This is because China is still occupying Tibet while Japan is no longer occupying China.
@@sskk1617 alright, make sense
Some believe reincarnation is not a good thing, some believe that reincarnation is a trap, because of cults and bad religion and technology etc., so if the Dalai Lama was a true "Master" would he not be resurrected as opposed to reincarnated, we are hearing not so good things about the Dalai Lama either unfortunately... and another one lol
Reincarnation is a fact of life in this dimension. Everyone reincarnates, whether they believe in it or not. Just like Karma applies on everyone, whether they believe in it or not. Sometimes, enlightened souls incarnate only to help others on the spiritual path, not because they have karmic baggage. Normal people incarnate because they have karmic baggage. Facts.
Resurrection is a weird concept, if one can be resurrected why let them die in the first place. Eastern ideologies believe that death is certain after birth, no one can escape it, not even avatars of God could escape death after being born in this dimension, neither could Budhha. He died too.
