I used to work operating India's first white water jet boat in the rapids up stream from Rishikesh from 1993 to 1995. Some things still look the same around the bridges but most shops are zoomed up, bigger and well lit. Chota Wala was a great place to eat and probably still is today. I lived at Son Prya Ganga a private estate (only invited guests can get through the gate so do not try to go there) upstream from the Laxman bridge. Along the river we had numerous encounters with tigers, leopards and all sorts of interesting people walking to the 5 temples of Shiva way up in the mountains. South of Rishikesh just above the dam on the far side of the river from the Ganga Kanari Hotel, elephants come down to the river in the winter dry season and very colorful tiny ducks from Russia can be found in the quiet water. If you are familiar with being with wild elephants you could do as I used to and go talk to them. Once the biggest bull has made his false charge at you to show the girls just who is in charge and you do not go closer things settle down. I once saw a Japanese man sitting out in the open river bed playing his flute to the enjoyment of the elephants. Everything will happen if you are ready for the world to happen. It is India!
Part of me wants you to just live in Rishikesh until I can make it back there. These videos have been feeding my soul, you have no idea. Thanks so much.
indiatoday.intoday.in/story/maharishi-mahesh-yogi-rs-60000-crore-fortune/1/201925.html ounodesign.com/2009/07/02/whatever-happened-to-the-beatles-ashram-in-rishikesh/ Martin Says: August 3rd, 2009 at 4:07 am Hello, The ashram was abandoned in 1984 because the supreme court of India turned the whole place into a national park called the Shahaji National park. The Maharishi did not own this place and had it on lease. Once the ruling was passed, there was little the Maharishi could do but abandon the land. Just weeks before the place had to be abandoned, the local forest authorities told the ashram workers that they could take with them all that they could before the deadline and because of this there are no switchboards, taps, furniture and metal parts left in the ashram. Everything was ransacked and sold off in the local market. The meditation halls were aircondtioned… In the 1960’s n that too in an Indian forest! There was a helipad, a post office and a bank inside the ashram. All this made the place pretty remarkable. A lot of private companies are interested in acquiring this property and turning it into a meditation resort but the Indian forest act does not allow this. Only government bodies are allowed to touch the place and Indian government being corrupt and lethargic, you can expect this place to rot and crumple one day for sure. There is only one guard looking after the place. By law, no on is allowed to enter this ruins but the guards are lenient and let people inside if you just hand them some money. If anyone wants to get there, get to rishikesh and ask for ‘chaurasi kuti’ which means 84 huts in Hindi. The ashram had roughly 84 huts, hence the name. Also, there is a ‘Vithal ashram’ in rishikesh. The locals might guide you to that ashram because vithal and beatles sound the same to them. Just ask them to take you to chaurasi kuti across the ‘barage’ which means a dam. So if you want to get to the ashram, cross the dam over the Ganga and get to the other side. There is a ferry service too. Ok.. Take care all.
So happy to have met you man, and coming out in one of your videosis something i NEVER would have expected!! I'm super grateful!! Thanks for doing what you do, and being a constant inspiration to me and many others!!! OM
Awesome video! Epic view from your hotel room. Cool the cows and dogs get along. Thanks for making great videos of your travels. India is beautiful. Namaste.
I am a Pakistani national and almost impossible for us to visit India due to political situation between the two countries. Thanks a lot for showing Indian places
Just back from my trip to Rishikesh. Thank you so much for you videos Gabriel as they set me up for the trip so well! It was incredible to walk around and remember and recognise the locations from your videos! I stayed in Tapovan which is the opposite side of Laxman Jhula and up the hill a way and it was amazing. After staying in the Ashram where I did my teacher training, I stayed in the Raj Resort hotel for a couple of nights which was great as the cheaper rooms were 600 INR per night for a large bed, kitchen with fridge and bathroom with a decent shower and hot water. I had a creek flowing outside the room which was amazing for meditation in the morning and drowning out the street noise too so a great find! Thank you again for your videos, I kept expecting to see you walking round the corner videoing!! I look forward to going back again when I have more time and exploring more for example I want to do the Annapurna circuit and go up to the Gangotri glacier next time and up to Ladakh as well as Amritsar 💕✨🙏🏻✨💕
The crowd, Smell, Noise is all part of India. You can take 1,000$ with you for two weeks and live like a king there in Rishikesh. India is by far my favorite country to visit. Organized chaos is the right word for sure.
add leh ladakh , kulli manali , Nainital , massoori in ur list....its amazing to experience the snowfall in india.... November dec January are best for this.....use Google maps everywhere. ( internet is must, and people don't mins to give hotpot because most of us have unlimited data plans) ....hope this helps
You made me fall in love with country again. I m in Australia for last few years. These videos just make feel to my country that I really miss being away. Keep it up mate.
Shivanada charitable hospital people are very helpful. Last year I visited hrishikesh. It was raining, I fell down & had ankle sprain. Shivanada hospital was the nearest so went there, they treated me, gave tablets & support for joint sprain. They didn't even take even one rupee for treatment. That would have easily coated them 2000rs above. Even after repeated request they said if you want to you can donate in some temple, it's complete free service.
Dear Gabriel, this video is really amazing for me. One of my highest dreams is to be there some day. I am from Mexico City and I have practice meditacion for many years, and there is where spiritual guides give their satsangs to the devotees. Unfortunatelly is very expensive for me to get there, but you make me feel I am there. Your videos have the magic to transport me to the place. I am very grateful for that. I think you are a great being, thank you very much Gabriel!!!
Awesome video Gabe ... Will have to make Rishikesh one of my places to visit on my return to India... Also want to do some treks, though likely to follow in your footsteps in Nepal :)
the path to Ram jhoula has to be my favourite walk anywhere..Every time I've walked there I've thought I could live along there....Even had visions of fixing up one or other of the little houses along there..
Hi! Thanks for your reply. We're not worried about safety so much. You have to be smart when you hitchhike, but generally people are nice and friendly anywhere. We've hitchhiked from Thailand to Europe, through 16 countries and have never felt that we've been in any kind of danger. We know it's cheap in India :) We hitchhike to meet and get a closer contact with locals and to get a different experience than the one you get when you get on a bus or train. 😀
More locals are likely to stop & give a ride out of curiosity that a foreigner is seeking one, defenately worth trying!! l would stop defenately unless am in a great hurry.
Hitchhiking in India is a good experience and u'll wonder many indians love it. U'll find most of the people here friendly and helping though at times it's more than desired. You can enjoy the country side and explore what usually is left unseen and unnoticed. Yes weather is a thing to be considered which I am sure evry hitchhiker understands.
Rishikesh just seems like such a peaceful place compared to India's metros - I definitely want to put that on my radar when I travel more extensively in India. Thanks for sharing, I know you're heading to Rishikesh again now after 5 years? Hope you have an amazing time!
Thanks for these marvelous adventures. Because I'll probably have only 3 weeks to visit India I think Rishikesh would be a great place to just hang out at without trying to see a punch of other places. Maybe Jaipur or Delhi on the periphery. But I just love this town best in your videos.
Brought back memories of my many trips to Rishikesh 15 years ago. Great video. All of your reviews are really respectful of the culture where ever you go.
I had to pause the great video to comment on the guy who stood there looking at the camera..unknowing to him the incognito travel photographer just made him world wide famous. Hilarious...
I love these older videos you did where you dig into the prices and nuts and bolts of a place. I'm thinking of doing a yearlong journey abroad, so these videos are incredibly informative and helpful.
Thanks for taking us on an informative and vicarious tour of Rishikesh, off the beaten path, as it were. You must have oodles of stamina, my man, trudging down roads and alleyways at such a brisk pace. Your friendly greetings to the locals not withstanding, I find that your interaction with the locals is limited. Perhaps, it is more trouble than it is worth? At any rate, I am happy that you were not harassed by the seemingly ubiquitous scammers, who build a wall of distrust between visitors and the genuine warmth of India. Keep up the good work, bro!
omg, i remember that place at 10:43. I have some photographs of the bridge and that Shiva statue , It was like 10 years ago. i remember crossing that bridge on my moms back coz I was too scared to walk on it😂, thanks for bringing back memories.
Yes, GoPro 5, built-in mic. And yes I am in India at the moment actually, but just a short visit to Vizag. I'll be posting some videos from here soon. I've been to a bunch of other countries since I posted this video from Rishikesh.
Enjoyed the video. Very much. I have Family living in Rishikesh for three or four months every year. They love it! Thank you so much for sharing and for all the info! It’s awesome.
Thanks for the update on prices there bro..I'll be going to Rish in September, other than ashrams, with guesthouses can you bargain on the prices for longer stays or monthly prices etc much like other countries I've been to? Thanks Gabriel.
Gabriel, I'm so excited I've purchased my tickets for my first trip to India for Feb and March. Looking forward to visiting some of your suggestions and trying some of the meals
Johnny Rockitworld try to go to rajesthan, goa,mumbai,agra(for taj mahal),delhi,mumbai,karela.. etc etc....don't worry for meal 😇 indians meals are Osm you will definitely love it💟💟💟 go and enjoy by your own experience you will love india💟💟💟
Hello Gabriel...... from last 3 days I hv seen ur most of the vdo...I appreciate ur work man....I would definitely say dat u r a good RUclipsr as well as a good communicator .....u r so nice to everyone ......keep it up .....👍👍👍
Hi Gabriel and Padmini. Gabriel you are a great man you did documented Rishikesh quite well. It's my hometown and I too LOVE it. There are many places more to document. Padmini you are welcome to our town. Hope you'll like it too.
Jai shree ram🚩🚩 You must visit neelkanth Mahadev Temple....... Almost 40km from Rishikesh Most visited place .... Gangotri Dham..... Kedarnath Dham..... Badrinath Dham.... Yamonatri Dham..... Can you visit easily from rishikesh.... And Mata Vaishno Devi temple in Jammu..... Amarnath cave in Kashmir..... And many these indian religious place .... This place is holy india.... And etc places......
Hey Gabriel Meant to mention on the ashram vid. It's gotten pretty expensive there. No longer by donation. At least according to what it says on their website. Lovely place though and we thought it would be like a refuge from the street for a while
I love your videos Gabriel. Even though I have been to a lot of the places you have, and in some cases stayed at the same hotels, watching your videos takes me back for some really fun memories. If you get a chance go to Kunjapuri Devi temple for sunrise.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos if you are visiting Maharashtra in your next trip I can show you all the small town, village their culture, smallest mall and supermarket. No one has ever came to these small town where greenery and peaceful environment can be experienced along with all modern facilities. All modes of transportation are available in the small town which will be another amazing experience for you and all viewers.
@@vaibhav3946 what is the name of this village? I support maharastram nationlism I think they should have their own country and rule india like the golden times of ShivaJI, khalsa raj plus maratha empire saved bharat.
As you mentioned, prices can be considerably lower at low key places. Out of all the things Socks were most expensive compared to Indian standards. They can be bought for Rs. 50. Dry fruits are actually expensive here in India. India imports a lot of dry fruits from middle east. Also in big to mid size cities there are a lot of pirated books for less than Rs 200.
Hi, Gabriel, awesome work. Watching your videos I decided to travel to India. Just a question, if I were to go Rishikesh, is it better to book hotel online or just walk in?
Great. You can do either one. If you're going during high season such as when the yoga festival is happening then it probably would be best to book a room online ahead of time. But you could probably still find a room when you arrive as well.
Thank you so much Gabriel, it is so kind of you to reply so quickly. I booked Shelton hotel for Delhi trip because I am arriving at midnight, but if schedule works out, for Rishikesh, I will just go in person. Really excited.
The restaurant you ate it. Not bad. And as I recall about what it was last year The dharbas near are great too..MUCH chaper as you said. And clean and friendly.
Nice video! I wish u b more elaborate in showing whatever subject you choose. I was looking for more price comparison. Well haggling is a good idea in India.
Awesome video Gabriel!! This truly helps with understanding how much this place costs as im thinking of travelling here in near future. Cheers man and safe travels!!
Enjoy watching your videos from LA. Hope to travel to Rishikesh when I retire in 4 years. Originally from India but never been to Rishikesh. BTW how come you don't go further up to Badrinath .
Great video Gabriel! My first comment about one of your videos and all I can say is I want to go to India! You must really like where you're staying just outside of Rishikesh if you've been there for two weeks? I like the feel and hippie vibe of the place from your video. Are you off further north, more into the Himalayas after here?
I spent quite a lot of time in Rishikesh in the 1990 s at Swiss Cottage in the town .and had a friend Mukesh RIP who made digideridoo s and jemba drums

Very cool Elizabeth, glad to hear you had such a great time in Rishikesh. It's definitely an amazing spot to hang out for a while.
Come here again I'm from RISHIKESH , india
The crowd, Smell, Noise is all part of India. You can take 1,000$ with you for two weeks and live like a king there in Rishikesh. India is by far my favorite country to visit. Organized chaos is the right word for sure.
North east India is not crowded ,also Himalayan interior like Leh , Ladakh donot have noises .
If you would like to get rid from crowded places then visit Meghalya
It is a dream for me to visit Rishikesh. I want to breathe and inhale India. I am heavily drawn to yogi way of life. Namaste!
Organized chaos!
Very interesting word👍
Seems high price for such accommodations n area? Heck I lived in rich part of Turkey for 1000us for a MONTH! Thanks tho I'll keep that in mind.✌
Flying to Rishikesh soon...So excited to fly to the Yoga Capital of the world Again.
this place never ceases to feed peace and calmness to my soul
India is so beautiful!
Been to India twice but never to Rishikesh. Might go next time - thanks for showing us around!
So u must visit Rishikesh such a peaceful place on Garhwal Himalayan foothills.It will give u peace of mind being in Rishikesh 😄😆😊

You made me fall in love with country again. I m in Australia for last few years. These videos just make feel to my country that I really miss being away. Keep it up mate.
Shivanada charitable hospital people are very helpful. Last year I visited hrishikesh. It was raining, I fell down & had ankle sprain.

Unfortunatelly is very expensive for me to get there, but you make me feel I am there. Your videos have the magic to transport me to the place. I am very grateful for that. I think you are a great being, thank you very much Gabriel!!!
Carolina Smith do you think india is more expensive than your city?
expensive than Mexico??? ....you are joking
She probably mean the flight to get to India.
Tydrix Yes, you are right, I am on the other side of the world, and I am poor.
sorry...I didn't want to hurt your feelings...
The Mountains look Beautiful!
i was in awe when you walked out on to the balcony and showed the view
Cool.
Me too! My mouth was wide open!!
Awesome video Gabe ... Will have to make Rishikesh one of my places to visit on my return to India... Also want to do some treks, though likely to follow in your footsteps in Nepal :)
Very informative video. Thanks for sharing mate! Looking forward to watching your other videos.

Welcome
15:14 Marcus(shiva) he is my good Friend
bdw nice video Gabriel traveler
love from rishikesh ❤
Nice video. Makes us want to travel in India. We're hitchhikers. Do you know anything about hitchhiking in India?
Timezone Junkies u can but i dont think its safe but u can takes public transport like train and buses its cheap .
Hi! Thanks for your reply. We're not worried about safety so much. You have to be smart when you hitchhike, but generally people are nice and friendly anywhere.

17:17 nice to see jamarcus, tell him to upload more videos Gabriel, i saw 1 video of his on his channel
Yeah one of his videos actually came up as a related video to my video, pretty cool. I didn't even know he had a youtube channel.
Thanks for these marvelous adventures. Because I'll probably have only 3 weeks to visit India I think Rishikesh would be a great place to just hang out at without trying to see a punch of other places. Maybe Jaipur or Delhi on the periphery. But I just love this town best in your videos.
swampzoid u should go agra too!! If u dont mind, have a look ruclips.net/video/3r2by-2OpHE/видео.html

I wish you would visit Guatemala again and shoot more videos there. The camera you are using now seem way better than the one you had in Guatemala.
Hi Gabriel.... are u filming w gopro hero 5 with built in mic? Also are you still there in India?
Yes, GoPro 5, built-in mic. And yes I am in India at the moment actually, but just a short visit to Vizag. I'll be posting some videos from here soon. I've been to a bunch of other countries since I posted this video from Rishikesh.
Gabriel Traveler thx for info. I’ll prob be in Rishikesh in aug-sept. If you are around hit me up maybe we can do a quick collab.

hi gabriel. nice vedios you making for us thanks 🙏
Things are sure to get expensive in future too as it's a growing economy. Expect a rise of 5-6% in prices every year.

Thanks for the Indian videos. Through your videos, I'm becoming more inclined to visit.
We looked at that EXACT room about January this year...and it was the same price. What a view!!!
No way, that's funny.
Gabriel Traveler lol AND the hotel guy also told us price was special because was low season I live India haha
Prob my fav city you have been too. Looks amazing!
After whatching lots of your India videos... those motorbike horns are really getting in my mind. :S
I have been there nice place indeed could go again if lord permit me again,.
I'm planning on going there later this year, thank you so much for this video!
Hey Gabriel Meant to mention on the ashram vid. It's gotten pretty expensive there. No longer by donation. At least according to what it says on their website. Lovely place though and we thought it would be like a refuge from the street for a while
Oh okay, I guess maybe things have changed since I stayed there.
Hallo Gabriel
I am Indian and I like your videos because you shared right information this places.
Great, thanks.
You are so good ! Love watching your stuff
I love your videos Gabriel. Even though I have been to a lot of the places you have, and in some cases stayed at the same hotels, watching your videos takes me back for some really fun memories. If you get a chance go to Kunjapuri Devi temple for sunrise.
Thx to u gab..im finalky in rishikesh..been a week now...awesome place and atmosphere...
Excellent, have a great time!
@@GabrielTravelerVideos sure will...
i love your 'hippieness' lol
Hy
Go to some "not so famous" indian places...u ll love em
I agree. I've been to many of those places. Been traveling around India since 1999.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos if you are visiting Maharashtra in your next trip I can show you all the small town, village their culture, smallest mall and supermarket. No one has ever came to these small town where greenery and peaceful environment can be experienced along with all modern facilities. All modes of transportation are available in the small town which will be another amazing experience for you and all viewers.
@@vaibhav3946 Sounds great! :)
@@vaibhav3946 what is the name of this village? I support maharastram nationlism I think they should have their own country and rule india like the golden times of ShivaJI, khalsa raj plus maratha empire saved bharat.
Wow very fun to watch and interesting thanks for sharing :)
Superb Gabriel 👌👌
Love from india
Thank you...Love your adventures...
As you mentioned, prices can be considerably lower at low key places. Out of all the things Socks were most expensive compared to Indian standards. They can be bought for Rs. 50. Dry fruits are actually expensive here in India. India imports a lot of dry fruits from middle east. Also in big to mid size cities there are a lot of pirated books for less than Rs 200.
Shantaram is an excellent book! The sequel, well, you will have to decide???
Hi, Gabriel, awesome work. Watching your videos I decided to travel to India. Just a question, if I were to go Rishikesh, is it better to book hotel online or just walk in?
Great. You can do either one. If you're going during high season such as when the yoga festival is happening then it probably would be best to book a room online ahead of time. But you could probably still find a room when you arrive as well.
Thank you so much Gabriel, it is so kind of you to reply so quickly. I booked Shelton hotel for Delhi trip because I am arriving at midnight, but if schedule works out, for Rishikesh, I will just go in person. Really excited.
Grt work.. 😊 those gulabjamun 😋
What a VIEW?? It is worth twice... MARVELOUS VIEW... i LOVE RISHIKESH.. i WAS THERE IN 2010.. Beautiful Place...
The restaurant you ate it. Not bad. And as I recall about what it was last year The dharbas near are great too..MUCH chaper as you said. And clean and friendly.
0:14 thank you for using the correct map of India 🇮🇳☺️
Nice video! I wish u b more elaborate in showing whatever subject you choose. I was looking for more price comparison. Well haggling is a good idea in India.
Hi brother, loved your video.
Wow man Excellent video's !
Keep it up... From Balochistan !
kohprush .. I dont mean to be rude, but I thought you did nt have electricity let alone Internet in Balochistan
Awesome video Gabriel!! This truly helps with understanding how much this place costs as im thinking of travelling here in near future. Cheers man and safe travels!!
Enjoy watching your videos from LA. Hope to travel to Rishikesh when I retire in 4 years. Originally from India but never been to Rishikesh. BTW how come you don't go further up to Badrinath .
Great video Gabriel! My first comment about one of your videos and all I can say is I want to go to India! You must really like where you're staying just outside of Rishikesh if you've been there for two weeks? I like the feel and hippie vibe of the place from your video. Are you off further north, more into the Himalayas after here?
Thanks Paul. And yes and yes.
i have been to all these places just last week. its like i am travelling to past.
Thank you for coming Rishikesh, bro. You can go Gangotri.

Ved Niketan..same prices as last year....basic yep!! Apparently the food in the canteen there is good..never tried though
I spent quite a lot of time in Rishikesh in the 1990 s at Swiss Cottage in the town .and had a friend Mukesh RIP who made digideridoo s and jemba drums
