Another inspiring video. I just got back yesterday from 3.5 week Indian holiday and of course you were on my mind and part of the reason I felt I could go do it alone. Delhi, Jaipur, Agra, Haridwar, Rishikesh, Varanasi, and Kolkata. Three overnight 'Express' trains (second class AC) and many wonderful encounters and sites. The lemon, ginger, honey tea at the Little Buddha Cafe in Rishikesh is the best - thanks for sharing your adventures!

I have recently discovered your channel. Really enjoying the content and reminiscing about our time in India 25 years ago.

Been there myself & the views from the top as well as the premises are amazing! Tipping expected when posing with officials inside :-) Great retrospective of the area! Thank you for the memories!

OMG!!! Your India series has been so fun! Thank you! I will be in Rajasthan in January and you have given me a lot of ideas for my trip. I have been there before, but I have not been to the village of Khuri. I will let you know when I stay at the Arjun family guest house!!!

So beautiful the Fort, amazing 👏 the blue city 💙 is different but spectacular ✌️

i think I have noticed more Western tourists in Jodhpur than anywhere else so far on this leg of the India adventure, and I can see why, that fort is definitely worth the time to go there and visit.

they call Rani ki Vav Gujarat the best stepwell in India. but last year a famous youtuber from India has proved that it is an inverted temple. and it is an incredible work of architecture. experts say they have no clue how much deep inside the ground it goes. there have been 6 attempts of restoration of the Temple last of it in the 1980s. but more they tried more n more staffs they found so the finally gave it up. the most unique and amazing temple in the world. a must visit when in Gujarat.

Such a place rich in history! It's indeed the place where the blue houses are so vibrant, even the skies might get a bit jealous, and navigating the narrow streets feels like playing an urban game of Twister.

Nice video of massive fort in jodhpur. It would be interesting to view the city from surrounding cliffs

Nice. Walking thru ancient streets of this place is much more interesting than seeing skyscrapers of India. Seen severa Indian step wells on YT, some have exquisitely carved sculptures, works of art.

Hi Gabriel, amazing day of traveling around the city and Mehrangarh Fort which is like a city and intact just unreal rivals anything around Europe. The only place that is more impressive is the Forbidden City in China. The one thing that made an impression on me is the overhang on the fort which is part of the style of architecture in India called Eaves is the overhang at the lower edge of the roof very interesting and has a pronounced view.

I wanna see Taudien aka The Swedish Sheep make that jump & "cooooool offff in the poooool" 😜 I'm about 1 mos behind here.... happy to see ya back in Thailand.. .the Country that never disappoints.

Cool! Indore! Can’t wait. I know nothing about it!

25:15 They are Huge vessels (called "Kadhai") - Frying pans. Perhaps they were used to prepare hot water, or for cooking on special occasions, when food was to be prepared for hundreds of guests, Indore, another wonderful city of Kings

If you want to avoid being cheated buy your tickets directly from the train station and bus station and do not rely on scummy tourist office.
