Gabriel, I just want to say that you have inspired me profoundly for many years. I aspire to one day be able to live a free life as you do. Thanks for sharing your life and countless experiences.
GABE much appreciated. KEEP THE INDIA STUFF COMING. Many of us look to your videos to inspire us to go there or in my caase to return as I WILL. JUST GOTTA WAIT PATIENTLY.
Awesome video Gabriel! Love from Colombia! ❤️ 🇨🇴
Fantastic footage with perspectives I’ve never seen before. Thanks for sharing this amazing experience!
This has the feel of a vintage film from a much older time, some of that is because India is such an ancient land and doesn't seem much modern even in 2014 . Good move instant classic.
Great video Gabriel. India is amazing, the smells, sounds the hustle and bustle. I hope to return once the world goes back to normality :)

I so enjoy your travels and adventures. Esp here in UK in lockdown and I loved dearly your wonderful channel. Thank you 💖
What a cool deja vu😀👍
That's true travelling. Minimal, "do it the way locals do" travelling. You lived the dream. Many thanks for sharing.
Taking a break? Good for you!
Nepal is open to tourists. I know you been there a few times but what an amazing place
Thank you Gabe
Very impressed by your "seat of the pants" travel style. Even local indians would hesitate to take the rough basic rides to go places. You are experiencing true india, enjoy !!! 👌👍👍👍
Amazing walk in the desert !
Nice video!!
Good Luck over there

So many people seem to arrive in Banaras after a long & tiring journey eh? My first time was on the Shivganga Express down from Delhi in Sleeper. 12hrs turned into 22... Re Chotiwala- some of the best restaurant food I've had in the north. Amaaazing palak paneer.

That bus trip from the Nepal border to Varanasi was one of the craziest of my travels. I wish I'd filmed that one. It was pouring down rain like crazy and the bus was so rickety it was leaking and felt like it was about to fall apart. The towns and villages we passed through were some of the most intense places I've ever seen, totally surreal. It took longer than it was supposed to, no surprise there, and we arrived in Varanasi in the middle of the night.
Respect , you are the best travelers 🧳.

Yes, chilling in northern California, no travel plans in the works at the moment. Pondering the possibilities.

Hey, really enjoying all of your videos! And I'm really happy that you visited a Jain temple in Jaisalmer. Just one correction at 14:15 though. Jainism wasn't founded by Lord Mahavira. There are 24 Prophets in Jainism and Lord Mahavira is the 24th one. Jainism has been into existence since time unknown. Ahimsa Parmo Dharma!

It's the highest mountain peak in the world. Mt. Denali is the tallest mountain from base to height, above ground. Mauna Kea in Hawaii is the tallest mountain in the world from base to peak if you include underneath the ocean.
