This was the first video which i watched of your channel and from that day i am in love with Harish Sir and Visa2Explore .
I have watched your mumbai Goa and Kerala series more that 30 times and still counting ...
Your chhattisgarh series and Uttarakhand series was so extensive that even tourism department never made that.
I appreciate your efforts to go to dangerous terrain like of hemkund sahib and spiti.
God bless you.

[@abtking91]

Harishji, you’ve gained massive respect from people because of your simplicity and natural style of presentation. I read in the comments section your concerns regarding expression and voicing, I would say that you don’t need to worry about anything, you’re great. Your natural behaviour is the most binding part of this series’ success. I also appreciate the fact that you invest lakhs of rupees, time and effort to entertain us and give first hand experience of places both explored and unexplored. Thank you. Keep up the great work!

[@visa2explore]

great to hear from you..... Next episode you will see tomorrow sunday this will be about our journey from Bhiri to Triyuginarayan - Uttarakhand then after that Kedarnath Dham yatra

[@Changewithsaurabh]

Your shot is changing after every first bite that you take like while have sheera or chiltoo.. we want to see your first impression of the food which should be honest like other RUclips channels

[@visa2explore]
