Thanks a lot for watching and safe journeys!
I had so many people tell me to visit the golden temple on my India travels so I went and it did not disappoint. It is incredible. I ended up just spending 3 days sitting by the pool people watching. Sunset was my favourite time. The prayers and the lights coming on was beautiful, one of my India highlights.
I had friends and neighbours in North London as a child who were Sikhs some of the nicest people I’ve ever known ❤️
Unfortunately not everyone is as nice as them
Gabe has been the best and most consistent content creator I’ve followed over the past decade and this is why I’ll always pop in and drop a like and a positive comment to show my support👍🏽❤️
He inspired me 😀
@@CelticMickWalks Me too. Started following around 2013 having never visited India and currently getting ready for my 13th trip!
@@unklemunky8992 great stuff, just back from Nepal, 33 days, now planning my second trip, heading to Bacu Azerbaijan
Totally. Agree. ♥️
@@sandradalessandro2935……you will like ItchyBoots more….
As a Sikh its awesome to see my favourite travel vlogger visit Darbar Sahib (Golden Temple), fun fact that spot were you were reading about Baba Deep Singh is exactly where he attained martydom.
SAT SREE AKAAL. Interesting, i read about the legendary Baba Deep Singh and his heroic struggle to reach the holy pool after reading your comment. Thanks
Holy smokes. The entry line at the Golden Temple makes TSA lines look like open meadows. For me, I rank this Amritsar episode as one of Gabe's top ten.
That temple is totally my jam. I love visiting cultural meccas like that. Definitely adding this to my long list of places to visit in India
Temples are your "jam". Ok Christopher, thanks for that. 😳
No one gave that extensive details about the whole premises & area around. Good detailing. Helps people who plan to visit.
*Leonardo Di Kabrio* 🤣
I'm relatively outgoing, but I would feel so awkward with my camera around so many people. Props to you. Don't get me wrong, they seem like super nice people.
Glad to see you enjoyed the food and opted not get the water in the bowl 🥣 so you could get a lot more rice pudding. There are donation boxes throughout the Gurudwara complex for people to drop in some dough 💰. The building right in front of the Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) entrance is where the sacred seat of the Guru is. People go in there to pay homage to all previous gurus. Those guys never lose shoes because they're so organized with the pigeon hole boxes. I've been there so many times since I arrived, I lost count but never lost my shoes. The clockwise going around (full circle) the Harmandir is known as parikarama in Hinduism. 🙏🏻😎🇮🇳
It's also called Parikarama in Sikhism. Not sure why u said Hinduism.
Such a magical and mystical place Punjab!!!!
That’s a place to visit for sure, beautiful ❤️
Hello Gabriel, I spent some days in Amristar ten years ago, I enjoyed the meal and also I slept in some kind of comunal dorm inside the temple, (one big pmace for Indians and other rooms for tourists non Indian) I don't know if exists now.. I really love the way you travel
Yes rooms still available
This video is amazing! I have admired and enjoyed it very much. Unique pictures of the Golden Temple in Amritsar. Thank you very much!
Dear Gabriel, Trust you are doing well. Excellent video of Amritsar's Golden Temple and it's surroundings on a beautiful day. Thanks for the divine experience. Please take care,
Loving this video. Thank you, Gabriel❤ It looks like one can spend the entire day there to get to experience the inside and all other areas of this temple.
It’s a great place to visit the day and at night. I did that on both occasions on the same day.
Wow! Visited India few years ago to film one of our TV episode and it's too bad Amritsar wasn't included on my itinerary. Hence, thanks to this video. I somehow felt I visited because of how detailed this video is. Hopefully, I would get to really see this in the near future when my travel dart lands here in again!
Amazing video and such an insight into Indian culture..really great
I’ve been SO wanting to watch this video, and it did not disappoint. OMG! I found this to be 100% utterly fascinating and intriguing. Your channel opens my eyes to not only new adventures, but to new perspectives on this thing called life. Loved the music you used at the very end of this video. Currently your channel is BEST travel content on RUclips! 👏❤️👏❤️
Wow, what an amazing experience.
I’m so glad you got the opportunity to visit the golden temple. You’re one of my favorites on RUclips. I wake up hoping to see another video of your travels. Watching your adventures before I go to work has become one of my favorite pastimes. I can’t wait to see where you go next. All the respect and admiration in the world for you, my friend.
Beautiful visuals!!
Hope to visit the Golden Temple someday. 🙏
Visited Golden Temple in 2019,I am privileged to be returning next year❤
Quite an experience, almost otherworldly. And so colorful! Over here in the West one sees mostly grey and black hues. Original way to serve a meal, too. I wouldn't be surprised if the water they serve comes from the central lake. 🤭
No it doesn't. They aren't that stupid. Hygiene is important even when making ton of food. More safer than your tacobell or Mcdonalds food.
They are feeding 1 lakh people every day they use filtered barrel water for drinking purpose it is totally safe
I always enjoy your India content. Hopefully I can get there to vlog in a few months.
WOW it is 4:30 am here in Toronto could not sleep and now I have a wonderful video to watch
Watching him from Hong Kong.It’s 5:51 pm here.
Watching him from London 😌 I love how his viewers are from all around the world 🌏
Generally, how is your daily sleep Posey?
Why couldn't you sleep? Leafs lose again?
I watched from the threadmill in a gym in the Yucatan, Mexico.
A fascinating look at the Sikh religion thank you so much for bringing this culture to us
Incredible temple, so nice
some of the most beautiful places in Ladakh- Zanskar Valley, Nubra Valley, Khardung La Pass, Pangong Lake(Pangong Tso).
places to visit in Kashmir-Yusmarg, Gulmarg, Sonmarg, Pahalgam, Gurez Valley.
Loving this video. Thank you, Gabriel❤ It looks like one can spend the entire day there to get to experience the inside and all other areas of this temple.
That meal service is so cool! When you think about it you wonder why not more religions do this, to make a sort of almost spiritual experience out of sharing a meal with your fellow man. There is little more intimate and essential in life than to share a meal.
It's to feed the poor and feeble.
Its a standard practice in ALL Hindu temples.
Great vlog can't wait to go to that part of the world soon. It's so different to the west.
Thank you, that was AMAZING from start to finish. 🙏
It has become a plgrimage to see 'golden temple' which houses the 'Adi Granth' - writings of Saints and Gurus. Teachings based on Shabd ('Word' of Bible), Satsang and Seva.
Smoke and mirrors
Beautiful golden temple always tops up few days in amritsar on the way back 🙏😀🇬🇧👍
Looks like a cool part of India Gabriel "the impressive" traveller 😁🇮🇪
thank you for sharing this beautiful video. Wahe Guru! 🙏
Waheguru! So happy that you made it! A rich history indeed. May your journeys continue with the Divine blessing,
Thanks for the visit,may god bless you.
Hello from CA & thanks 4 Amritsar Temple video. 🙏
Wow,looks a fantastic place gab,just awesome all them places you visit ,watching your video everyday ,absolutely brilliant ❤
Hey Gabe this was my favorite vlog. Been a subscriber for years.
Really enjoy watching you engage in the culture. Great work
Very different way they serve the food at Golden temple , amazing video thx .
Zeck, Hawaii
Seems like a very exhilarating place…That would be a no from me standing in that long long line…Good job filming Gabriel.
It is a famous place, but I noticed that the town looks cleaner and more organized.
Go to Kargil zanskar padum you will love and they have many things to explore
ruclips.net/video/uY3rKXl4Pxc/видео.html
Upper Mustang, here we come!
Let's go!
Howdy Gabriel. This trip you must go to the northeast. Hornbill festival in Nagaland is starting soon. This time of year is really great for Meghalaya also. Beautiful places with great food.
So Beautiful episode thanks to Gabriel
I love the Turban 👳♂️ , what a beautiful temple,
It must be Leh your off to next
*Turban
Looking forward to your next journey ! To the North ? See ya !
Wow 🤩 Gabriel is going to the Kashmir Valley and perhaps then go to Ladakh. People always seem to leave out Jammu which is also nice to see as well.
I still have no clue why indian music sounds like it's broadcast on AM radio. even live those guys sounded like they were really distorted. sounds cool though.
Hi Gabe: Nice vlog of the Golden Temple. Would definitely want to see the Jalianwala Bagh Museum where hundreds of people who had assembled peacefully were gunned down without any warning by the British Army led by General Dyer. By the way, the name of the state Punjab (the first part of the name is pronounced exactly like the English word "pun") means land of 5 waters (rivers). The rivers are: Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas & Sutlej.
Actually, it's Panjaab. Panj = five, Aab = rivers
Go Waga Border its fun if nothing else. Even better if you can get in the VIP area by the gate..
Fascinating video! ❤
Incredible experience and great video, Gabe. You looked very stylish in that orange head covering!
I love love this place
Go every year and just back on the 5 after visiting..
For anyone the first glimpse of the Harmandir Saheb is totally overwhelming…
And the Sikhs are one of the best race of people
Love love this place
i am a long time subscriber. I really love your videos which is posted as the thing is and without bias. keep it up . good job.
if you come to mahabalipuram or pondichery i definitely host you as my guest.
!!! Your near Kashmir and the silk route ! This is where Jesus was in the 18 missing years ! Go there and talk to people! Wow omg
The Ahmadi Muslims believe that
Christ was in Varna, Bulgaria during his lost 18 years
Great video, I bet that sunglasses ban was a challenge but what an experience!
It was bright, that's for sure. I saw other people wearing sunglasses though so I could have kept them on and probably gotten away with it, but no biggie either way. I survived.
I was visiting the golden temple earlier this year and wasn’t allowed to inside while I see so many people doing it. I was only allowed to make pictures. Amazing place ❤
why u were not allowed ...everyone is allowed irrespective of race, gender and religion ...u should remove ur shoes , cover ur head and should be wearing decent cloths...do they told any reason why they stopped u?
This is very interesting. Especially how they serve you! Very good video of your experiences.
Enjoy Amritsar Gabe! It is a v special city for all Indians. The Golden Temple is an amazing space. Try the langar when you can. I am told the street food is awesome too, esp Amritsari naan bread and kulcha and lassi and...😂 Good luck!
A wonderful wonderful tour!!! Thank you 🙏. I hope to visit in January, 2024.
1:21 right one - this is where Bald filmed the Kulcha food vlog. Please do check it out
Gabriel please apply some antifungal spray or cream on your feet. I do not mean to sound like a racist, but in any community foot wash pool you need to be very careful. Toenail fungus is commonly caught in such situations. Another common area is in public pools. See if you can get your hands on lamisil (terbinafine) in spray or cream form. Interesting video. I am assuming your next stop is Pakistan... interesting time to be visiting Pakistan at this time with all that has been going on in the Middle East. Safe travels!
That's quite racist. Would you say the same for a Finnish foot wash? I dare say you wouldn't. Check yourself fella
That water is clean, it's not stagnant water.
@@DaltonMirklesteinAbsolutely. Please read the comment carefully. “but in ANY community foot wash”. I even go on to explain that another common place is in public pools. Please make sure you comprehend what you read before posting stupidity.
@@parulsinha3092clean is a relative term. There seems to be 3-4 pairs of feet at any given time.
@@kostasg7109How dare you. You should be ashamed of yourself. You have no right to degenerate Eastern cultures.
The golden temple looks amazing in the night. We went in the daytime and then visited again in the night where we queued up to see the inner sanctuary where the line was not too bad.
simply put you are the best, Gabe
Very very nice video ❤❤
Wow!! What a colorful and interesting place.
Looks like an amazing place, thanks for showing us
Gabriel, your next destination perhaps Srinagar/Kashmir.
Thanks!
THAT IS ONE - COOL GOOD LOOKING SHIRT - GABRIEL - AND THANKS FOR AN EXCELLENT TOUR -- YOU DA MAN -- DUDE .. RIGHT ON . - T,Y.
Hmmm...thats interesting that Amritsar restaurants tend to be vegetarian since Sikhs are not generally vegetarians.
What they do there is so commendable.
My Sikh guru told me historicaply they have prided themselves on being fierce warriors.
Cool tour, Kabrio. 😊
Sikhs in Punjab are mostly vegetarian. Lots of vegetarian dhabas here.
LOL. What the fcuk are you smoking ? Sikhs are primarily. vegetarians. Its one of THE MOST Vegetarian states in India.
@@parulsinha3092 I see. Thanks for the info!
Baptised Sikhs are vegetarian. But Sikhs like myself who follow the religion but are not baptised, eat meat. In fact, Panjaab has some of the very best meat dishes in the world such as tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, and butter chicken. Amritsar's most famous dish is a fish dish called the Ambarsari machi. Goat is widely available throughout Panjaab, and two of the most popular goat dishes are desi bakra (goat masala curry), and the other is saag bakra (goat in spinach).
Ladakh
Or he might visit the Kashmir Valley
💡👍Brilliant !!
The inscription (In marble) at the entrance to the Golden Temple is to the soldiers of the 16 Sikh Regiment who were killed in Sri Lanka in 1987 fighting to recapture a fort taken by the Tamil Tigers.
At 4 am in the morning there is not much crowd . You can go into the temple easily.
Or in the late evening
GOD Bless u 🙏🙏
Thank you Gabriel for the video.Nicely shown
Looks like an amazing place to visit
Hello Gabriel.
I spent some weeks in the northwest of India and loved it. I was not taken by Amritsar and at the Golden Temple and the crowds were massive. My favorite place was Srinagar. I stayed on a house boat on Dhal lake. It was so peaceful, beautiful and quiet. A wonderful rest near the end of a 6 week trip in India which mainly concentrated on Tiger safaris in Central India. Mind blowing.
Sadly Dal Lake is very polluted. I went there over 10 years ago and it was bad and I don’t think anything has improved since then
Please go to Jallian wala bagh. Thanks
Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh... that turban really brings out your persona Gabriel
Man oh man, Aa spectacular scene there at the Golden Temple Gabrial.. I’m guessing you’re heading toward Kashmir. We will have to wait and see
Too good bro,following from papua new guinea🇵🇬👍
That would be a place I love Gabriel to go and visit 😊
@@dee74raz yes bro,that would be great,i would be more then happy to be,his tour guide for free👍....its a land of diverse cultures and 800+ different languages✌️
Mind-blowing place 🙏 everything was impressive, i can only imagine the inside of the Temple 😍 the food serving was unique, vegetarian? 🙋♀️ good , i didn't know that ♥️
I don’t know about you, but my feet still hurt from the paths through the villages in the Himalayas!
8:20 a potential Starbucks employee 🤣
Mind blowing experience, that temple, way too crowded and yet so neat !!✌✨
The music is "kirtan". It functions somewhat like an oral tradition and was how the original teachings were transmitted.
The food is deliberately "course". Eat to live. Don't live to eat. Sitting on the floor has always been symbolic of our fundamental equality (no separations of castes, "believers"/"non-believers", etc.). The water is as safe as bottled water.
Covering your hair is kind of an act of coronation. It symbolizes your individual sovereignty. Sikhs began wearing turbans in response to a law that forbade non-royals from covering their hair/wearing turbans.
The martial aspect of Sikhism and its impact on India as a whole cannot be understated. It is arguably the formation of the "khalsa" that led to the unified country now known as India. Prior to that, "India" was many separate kingdoms and had been for thousands of years. There is obviously a lot of history to unpack here, but only the uninformed would argue to the contrary. 3, 2, 1...
I'm happy u r going back to the north. Hopefully Ladakh and Kashmir. Big cities are overwhelming. It's too crowrded and dirtier, it's not my vibes. I'm interested in the nature view, less crowded and quieter place.
You are flying to SriNagar but Vlogging a Dead Horse is still Dishing out the Delhi vlogs 😂😂😂
There's not a single slum in Punjab and if there is one it'll be rather small and a contrast to the prosperity of the people of Punjab - who have one of the highest per capita income in India
There are many slums there. Sad 😞
Punjab is in 19th position w.r.t per capita income in India. There are 18 states in India which has higher per capita income than Punjab out of a total of 28 states.
Gabriel when are you going to explore mighty Rajasthan!?
That temple food hall must have been a very unique and special experience. How was the food?
The food was typical, nothing special but it was hot and seemed freshly made.
Hey Gabriel, I have been twice - in 1998 and 2003. It wasn't even half as crowded - wow, I wonder why it is so busy. There is a live feed from inside the Golden Temple if you want to take a look. Or if you go very early, it might not be as crowded. It's a shame not to go inside. Beautiful memories and great footage.
Kashmir? Wherever you are going man have fun Gabe!! Can't wait for you to get back into the himalayas again 😁
Or perhaps Ladakh
@@dee74raz Maybe
Yes, He is headed for Srinagar in Jammu & Kashmir state
I had the water at the Golden Temple and it was fine. I never had any problems. They will never give you polluted water or anything bad. After all it is a sacred place.
