Tourism is still not developed in India, people hardly travel just to enjoy. It's getting better by the year, as disposable income increases, domestic tourism will also increase. Infrastructure development is also happening and it will make travelling easier.
This is awesome. There are so many places to visit in India. But most westerners land in India and head straight to Dharavi slum or congested streets of old Delhi. Thats only 1 dimension. There are million dimensions to India !
Hi Gabriel, with regards to traveling Gabriel, you're a hard-core traveler and travel anywhere but you do go where most people wouldn't go. I do think most people travel with comfort in mind and if that isn't there they won't go there. The curious traveler is seeking a different experience than what they know and unraveling what they're not aware of. A passive traveler is someone seeking a pleasant experience away from the stresses of life, a chance to unwind from the daily grind.
Hi Gabriel, you inspire us Indians to see more of our own country! Indians seek holidays abroad while many are ignorant about the beautiful places in their homeland! 🙏
100% right, people don't know about tons of places, we learn from YT videos of foreigners. Orchha is another magnificent midevial city, beautiful buildings in MP. I saw in another video on YT made by a US visitor. Any advertisements or promotions by govt of India to promote these wonderful places? Very few countries on earth have these treasures.
Paratha looks sooooo yummy. Awesome vid, Gabe, great to see you around India with a bike and showing Indians😉 and Indian travelers remote places of this awesome country🇮🇳❤❤❤. Great work. Big thank you 🙏. As always. Great work.BTW: the rocks👊👍😯😯😯, kind of Stonehenge in India. WOWWWW!
I’ve been to Mandu.. & it had a very strange feeling. Like it held a deep secret .. the people had a suspicious vibe. And the earth energy was very strong. Felt Like crossing dimensions.. turning a corner. & feeling as if I’d moved country.. remember it as being very odd. And not comfortable & welcoming This was 30 years ago. And the first time I’d seen youth culture in india ..The young guys were dressed like Elvis. & had a sort of proud attitude.. Also a very distinctive hair line ( swirling upwards ) on the back crown .. (first noticed on the bus …
That sink in the washroom is such an eye catcher... 😯 Mandu looks like a very peaceful and beautiful place, the kind of place one could stroll around for hours without a dull moment. Caves look old and these kinds of rock cut caves are common in that region. The small room was definitely the temple in that dwelling. Difficult to say which is more beautiful, nature or the man made things. Like you said, they kind of merge into each other. Everything looks amazingly well maintained. You're adept at capturing the feel of a place. The winding roads, the fields, the landscape, the people going about their business... the cycling... 😄 Thanks so much for your efforts and hard work. This was a such a pleasure to watch. 😍
Please do the 5 km treak around the Omkareshwar. Its a track with many ancient ruines. You will love it. You have to walk the entire jouney. Just look for parikrama marge and people will guide you.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos goo.gl/maps/8V72PTALjEM3aLRZ8 This is a great ruin temple around 1500 to 2000 years old. This also have a great view of the river spliting and dam. This will be in the way of prakrima track. This close down in evening around 4 or 5 so be earlier.
Greetings from the other side of Madhya Pradesh (Khajuraho). I was reading that they’d seen a huge drop off in foreign tourists here in the past 10 years (pre pandemic), although Indian tourists have increased in number. Someone told us yesterday that we are the first Americans they’ve seen since before COVID. I think MP was more popular in the hippy age, but hasn’t translated well to the Age of Instagram. Like you, we’ve rented bikes and we explored the countryside south of here. Today we’ll try to pedal to the Ken River Nature Reserve, where there are supposed to be crocodiles. (Hope we don’t meet any tigers from the Panna area across the river!) I’ve noticed that the MP tourist folks blame the drop off on the fact that it’s hard to get to, but we came along a beautiful new highway from Orchha yesterday morning, and there’s a big impressive airport here. I just think a lot of young Europeans perhaps can’t afford to fly here, with plane tickets high, and perhaps they are less creative travelers than we were at the same age.
I think SEA is the hippie trail of today's age. It is easier to visit than most places in India. Anyways Central India is truly underrated, and ig that kinda filters the type of tourists coming in. Instead of the loud party goers, it's the more culturally inclined. I am not saying one is better than the other. But if I was born in a pretty place I would rather have cultural visitors visit my place.
Sorry, of course, by SEA you mean Southeast Asia. Yes, I think you’re right, but it has been thus for decades. Back in the 80s when I was about 20, I flew into Penang and took the ferry to Medan. It was full of young Westerners, heading south en masse to Lake Toba, and that was not the way my friend and I liked to travel. They were all heading south from Medan to Lake Toba, so we headed north towards Banda Aceh - the only ones to do so from the hundreds on the ferry. We stopped in Biruen and headed south into the jungle and mountains, hitching rides as far as we could then hiking through the jungle to Blangkejeren. When we got closer to the Lake Toba area, we turned hard right and went up the west coast of Aceh, to beautiful towns like Tapak Tuan. All of it just stunning. An amazing trip, and we barely saw another foreigner the whole time. Better that in my book than the banana pancakes of Toba.
23:30 Striation marks here, they look a bit like those in Petra but maybe not as refined. Stone appears to be volcanic tuff, with a hardness of only 3-4 on the Mohs scale.
Last time we were in India, 2018, we started off in Hyderabad (a city I love!) and went by train to Solapur, Gulbarga and then Bidar. Three or four nights in each place. We did not see one other foreign tourist - just some European business people in Solapur because it is famous for textiles. Fabulous sights in all three - forts, tombs, even a Sikh temple, in particular. Bidar fort is incredible. If you haven’t read William Dalrymple’s White Mughals, you really should. It was his section on the fort that made me want to go. We’d been in Hyderabad five years before and I couldn’t believe we didn’t find out about Bidar then. I have a couple of blog posts on Bidar on my website, but I don’t know if it is allowed to post a link here. Anyway, Ann will travel!
I wanted to go to Bidar years ago actually. I was in Bijapur and was considering going up to Bidar, but it was a long bus ride. I guess I'll have to go for it next time.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos You really need to go to Bidar - fascinating place, with other stuff to see to. And if you are in the area, a short train ride to Gulbarg is recommended. Another fort and a fabulous old mosque with many columns.
On the guidebook issue, when I first came to India I was determined to avoid places in the guidebook because I thought they’d all be full of Westerners. I was a student at Oxford and they have the Indian Institute Library, an old colonial library housed on top of the Bodleian (it used to be in a building with carved elephants on Broad Street that you can still see, but it’s now used for something else). Anyhow, I did some research in that library and discovered a region called Bastar, which would be completely off the beaten track. Needless to say that we didn’t go there and I still had a great time. Now I see that even Bastar is in the LP guide!
So much to see and experience , so little time. You would need 2 lifetimes to see the full history of India ! What an amazing country, no wonder the Brits didn’t want to leave , they were forced out ! Nice vid Gab 😊😊😊😊
Visited mandu probably in 2009 or 2010, amazing place. It is not popular because it is not in a tourist trail, you have to plan a holiday separately to visit here. We in India usually plan 1-2 week holidays to cover couple of cities/tourist places
I love Mandu. The best time to visit is in August when it is lush green. Gabriel - I am sure you know already, but just in case, please do try Maheshwar and Omkateshwar. Particularly Maheshwar. Take a boat down Narmada. See the Rani's house. The Maratha simplicity and Spartanness is awe-inspiring.
India has a hiden gem everywhere. Good spot for rappel sport. I was impressed by the desert-raised cows in Joelsamer. What do they eat in such an inhospitable place with no vegetation? Okay, cows are sacred in India, but they don't live on the breeze.
Another Awesome and Amazing Adventure Gabriel🙂Always looking forward to Your next Video Your Adventures just keep getting Better and Better and New things to Explore Awesome🙂👍

@@GabrielTravelerVideos sorry my mistake I ment Ajanta instead of Arjuna. Ellora caves in with the area were Kailash temple in situatuated Ajanta is more Buddhist as you will know. The Kailash is as you know Shiva and Hindu 🕉

Great find. Never knew about this. Its good you are noticing the middle and central asian invaders and how their architecture is now part of india where in other places it would be demolished
I really like your channel. Anyway. There were buddhists in India also in the early days. Buddha had his awakening in Bihar.The low green plants in that field you were crossing looked like alfalfa, a fodder plant.
Yes, the Buddha lived in India and there is lots of Buddhist history throughout India. I was just referring to Mandu specifically and whether there was Buddhist culture in the area. Glad you're enjoying the vids.
Great coverage ! THE PILLAR has to be either Hindu or Buddhist because there is sculpture of birds or ducks on it ( creatures are not sculpted in Muslim art) and looks much older then Muslim time in India .
most foreigners go to the same place generally. those who want to see tourist places go to Old Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and bit of Mumbai. those who want to see 'real India' harald style goes to Old Delhi and Dharavi Slum.
I could be horribly wrong but Madhya Pradesh used to have lots of Buddhist monasteries. Buddhist monks used to live in complete isolation leaving their monasteries for months to meditate. They used to live in such caves for months, this might just be one of those. If this was a hindu pilgrimage there would definitely be at least one Sivalingam somewhere nearby. So it seems like one of those meditation caves of Buddhist monks.
You're right, some of the best preserved Buddhist ruins are in Sanchi, Madhya Pradesh. But that's a ways away from Mandu. Not sure about Buddhists in Mandu but it's certainly possible.
Gabe, I am predicting you are heading to the Ajanta and Ellora caves. I was at Ellora, five years ago. Well worth it, as are some of the forts in that area, as well as the tomb of Aurangzeb close by and the mini Taj Mahal outside Aurangabad.
I was just sitting down after a shitty day and thought I would check and see if Gabriel had a new video to watch. Nice!
I love the idea of riding a bicycle around local sites! Nicely done..
As an Indian, I am learning so many new places to visit and appreciate
Thank you so much
If Mandu existed in Europe it would be one of the most popular, most celebrated tourist attractions on the continent, in India, it's hardly visited.
Most popular and loved place In INDIA are - ANDAMAN & NICOBAR islands. You guys must check them out, not much foreigners know they are a part of INDIA. A BRITISH couple recently traveled it, you guys can checkout on YT- (dabble and travel)
1 live like 2 hour drive from Mandu and visited several times but never visited these caves. Next time definitely.
Coz india has way too many.

Hi Gabriel, with regards to traveling Gabriel, you're a hard-core traveler and travel anywhere but you do go where most people wouldn't go. I do think most people travel with comfort in mind and if that isn't there they won't go there. The curious traveler is seeking a different experience than what they know and unraveling what they're not aware of. A passive traveler is someone seeking a pleasant experience away from the stresses of life, a chance to unwind from the daily grind.
Think you just compared a tourist with a traveller
Yes, and he likes to challenge himself through his travelling it seems.

There will be allot more travelers now visiting this place after watching this video
9:15 if i am not wrong i think that's the statue of a Jain Tirthankara not of Lord Buddha...Madhya Pradesh is home to several ancient Jain temples
The hair looks the same as Buddha statues, but maybe someone else can clarify more decisively who it is.
