Very busy city! 😎 Thank you for sharing!!! 🤗
Gabriel, what are the places to visit in Utterakhand starting from say Delhi and making way up to Dehradan
I have been in Mt Abu 25 years ago on my first trip to India. It is a honeymoon place for indians. Nice city for a few days. The Dilwara temples are really worth the trip up the mountain.
Hour long vlog!! Yes please !! Tea is made let’s get into it! Big up Gabe! Love and Light!! ❤️
🙏more amazing…courageous
48:27 the guys is wearing two handwatches 🤘
Hi Gabriel, unreal an unbelievable experience traveling to Ajmer the amount of commerce is just unreal there's so much room for growth compared to China. China's economy is incredible while India I could see being there at some point. It's just incredible to see structures that are thousands of years old and still standing who checks these structures the downtown buildings are very old they have to be hundreds of years old and still standing. They build something in the States, and after a short period, they tend to deteriorate. Another thing of note is that the minority group with the highest per-capita income in the States are Indians
the city of Ajmer looks so old.
check this out if you have time – " Ajmer Sharif Dargah is the tomb of Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti. Moinuddin Chishti was a 13th-century Sufi saint and philosopher"
holy crazy you almost got run over like 4 times, saludos.
are you going close to China, saludos
Off the beaten path India are definitely some of my favorite videos of yours 😊
Love the music and the actor in the ad at the end is Ajay Devgn, keep enjoying!
You're correct dating the various belief systems. Hinduism is ancient. Buddhism and Jainism date to roughly 2500 years ago or 500 BCE. CE the Common Era is when Christianity began. Islam began at about 500 CE. And then there is Sikhism, not sure from when that dates. I wonder if Zoroastrianism is common in India, it is also quite old, but being Persian in origin is perhaps not so common in India. And Bon predated Buddhism in much of Nepal and Tibet. It is ancient and is described as shamanistic rather than as a religion with written doctrine. Such fascinating history!
It is amazing so many faiths have existed side by side in one region for so many centuries with no serious friction or conflict. I wish the West had learned tolerance.
simple, sincere and heartfelt. on a frequency that keeps this world in balance.☀️🍀
Incredible! Thank you for sharing. Namaste 🙏🏻🕉️🪷
Holy Crazy you stood on the very ground where history unfolded inside the building itself, the epicenter of the United Kingdom become an empire by slaving and removing all the resources and utilizing its people in WWI< WWII. Today the United States Of Bharat population live very primitive because of the decision made on that building ,we are talking about a Billion Humans . I am Impressed . saludos
Thanks for the beautiful museum coverage in Ajmer.🤩
what it means '' no mach car '' in Bharat. saludos

You can spend 2-3 days in Mount Abu hiking and exploring, visiting temples. There are some cool temples there. Also the highest point of the Aravalli Mountain Range, Guru Shikhar, is nearby.
I hope you did not miss Mt Abu it is truly fascinating. Abu road station is where you get off. You cant avoid the 1 hr ride which itself is quite picturesque.
I wonder how any of the shop/ stall owners can make a living with so many of them. You mention yoga sometimes. Do you practise yoga? Your room must seem like a calm haven after walking through such frenetic crowds and traffic 😅
👍👍👍
It has always been clear that you favor 3rd world dung holes like India over the advanced western civilization countries that have given the world great stability and advancement … you most certainly & probably hate all things western (including Christendom) . That is why you keep returning to this dark and dirty of a country of India.
Gabe, watching the other half of this video now, just after i woke up.
At 52:01 it looks like a Hindu or Jain structures that where defaced long time ago.
Not sure though
what the westerners dont understand is that this is just 5% OF INDIA …as the tourists just visit the most popular touristy spots /markets etc ..they r bound to be crowded …its like going to DETROIT and complaining about crime 😊😊
You get a refund for a train ticket if you cancel 48 or 24 hrs earlier.
We went to Mount Abu (German). The Jain Delwara temples are unique with their incredible marble carving. And then there is the lake a ruined Fort you can climb with great views and STUNNING sunset views down a really steep cliff. Amazing scenery…should film well… (You are not allowed to film in the Jain temples, but still…) Are you in a hurry? The taxi from Abu Rd cost us about 2000 Rps, as far as I remember. But apparently you can catch a bus or shared jeep.
Indians are quite curious about people who choose to be unmarried.
They tend to go out and about with others, as well as live with other people, too.
Being solitary and living alone is quite foreign to them still.
5000 years ago Hindi was not invented, Mohenjo-daro used kind of cuneiform. Hinduism had not emerged in its present form during Buddha's time but Brahmanism while Jainism was practiced before Buddhism (563CE) or Hinduism.
Do plan to visit Bikaner if you can
NEVER would I ever drink a bottle of water that I was not dead certain was safe to consume.
ALWAYS witness anyone who exchanges money and who gives you bottled water. Make sure EVERYTHING is in your line of sight.
Well-done for choosing not to drink the water.
Again very nice video about the hustle and bustle of these typical streets. Love the vibrancy in colours of the sari's everywhere, And that musuem was a nice surprise!
Friend gabriel, your sandle is 3000.00? The shop owner charged you 3000.00 for a pair of sandals? It is absolutely abnormal price. Please bargain again and again and price will come down . otherwise purchase from reputed shop.

Have you heard of the book 'Holy Cow! An Indian Adventure' by Sarah Macdonald? I'm reading it now
20:32 Lord Vishwakarma, deity of architecture. he created ancient city of Dwarka in Gujarat which is now under the Arabian sea.
Thank you for giving us the date and day ….so many vloggers do not and seem to be re releasing old vids ……I’ve never been to Ajanta caves but have been to Ellora caves ….absolutely spectacular …thanks for sharing your travels with us
In kathmandu, what a tourist leech blood sucking area….every "foreigner" looks like an atm to them…..sorry to say..
I will never ever go to India. This constant honking would drive me crazy.
The constant honking is bizar
Hey, Gab! I love your videos, particularly those in India. Looking forward to Gujarat – never been there but heading there early next year. Travel well!
India's European colonizers created these terms- Hinduism Buddhism Jainism in 19th century and called them different religions to divide and rule India. Hinduism Buddhism and Jainism are the same all part of Sanatan Dharma or eternal laws. they are spirituality opposite of religion
