Your Pushkar travel on a bike in 2017 was amazing. I watched it all over again and again. Hope there will be a re-enactment.


Sir please try kedarnath Or vaishno devi temple track you will love it
Pushkar is a really nice, peaceful little town. I was there a few years ago, went up the holy mountain by gondola, down on foot, a local guy, a theology student, a holy Brahmin , perform pujas for pilgrims on the ghat. He drove me around on his motorbike, showed me hidden corners of the town and the surrounding area. I was surprised by how deeply and almost blindly he believed in all the sacred scriptures of Hinduism that he was taught in school.we went to visit Alu baba a few km away from town….
Wow! Amazing food and fruit juices. I presume most eateries use purified water to make the food and fruit juices. Nice video. Thanks
how long are you in india…..and where are planning to go in may june summers?
The camels are so cute n funny
In Hinduism Pushkar lake is a very sacred place to offer prayers to your father and other ancestors. All indian pilgrims you see around the lake have come to do that. I have visited there last October and done it, that includes doing a round of the lake too. All the ghats and shops in your video I can remember. I see divine leela of God that you are visiting Pushkar after your father's passing away.
Hi gabe loving your videos on India it's not a place I'd visit personally too chaotic and the humidity too high for me I'm more a Greek island guy but keep up the good work
Hi, request you to visit Bhuvneshwar, Puri, Odisha. You will get lots more information of Hinduism, Temple and culture.
Best time to visit. April is too hot. You can visit Another place in Tamilnadu Kannyakumari, you can see the Three oceans at a time. Thanks
It's not easy in the hot sun 39⁰ , thank you for sharing journey.
Some of the music sounds like african than indian
.
Reminded me of Camel Joe. 6:36
I had to do the same thing today getting to Aka Island. I don’t want to even imagine that heat. 16:33 Thanks for sharing.
15:04 I cheated and caught the gondola up when i was there and walked back down
"Man, she just stepped on it!"

Have you been in Harsil Valley and Gangotri that is just a short ride up from there? I am currently in Rishikesh, and my plan is to go there around april the 15'th, and see if i can trek to the glacier there where Ganga flows out from. It's sees like the right time since it is right before the temple opens there, so that i can see that in pristine condition wihout the crowds wthat the yatra brings with it
To get that hippie vibe watch Gabriel Traveller.
Indra is sun, Chandra is moon.
please go to India's biggest meteorite crater Lonar Lake in Maharashtra a natural wonder That scientists struggle to explain. also it is surrounded by beautiful temples and step well.
Hello gabriel come to Lakkundi, Karnataka 100km south to Hampi.Its a historic place you can find many ruins and temples and archeological department is doing excavation.
You can’t stay away can you. India keeps calling your name…
Have you heard of the old Indian tradition Mr Traveller, that you have to kiss a camel if you stop to have a conversation with one ? Nah just joking …its the Indian elephant ..har , har ! Have a good one and stay cool in that furnace .
Even though all the Indians that I met were so nice India is not a place that me and specially my wife would like to visit sorry
Even after 80 years this country couldn't develop itself. Meanwhile china with same population..
Hey Gabe
Why did you decide to go to Pushkar in March?
It’s insanely hot and dry in Rajasthan during March-May and feels like Phoenix in July and August.
It’s also a pilgrimage town mainly so nothing interesting to see there except camels and Pushkar has the largest camel market in India. Plus Pushkar is also famous for being one of the very few places in India that has a temple for Brahma, the Hindu God of creation. Savitri is another name for Saraswati who is Brahma’s wife and also the Hindu goddess of knowledge and wisdom.
Indra is the Hindu God of thunder and lightning ( just like Thor in Norse mythology). Chandra is Moon.
You can head up the Aravalli range to places like Mt. Abu which are cooler but otherwise Rajasthan is ipiping hot after February due to the desert climate.
You should head up to Himalayas or head to places like Uttarakhand which are cooler in higher altitudes. North East might be a good bet too.
I don't know why but you reminded me of those camels you been looking at here: 19:34
16:47 a huge mistake! you may get a heat stroke in that hot weather.
Same as 1989 looks like, no order, People , vehicles , animals all mixed
together. Thankgod its not like that
in the U.K. . No need hooting horns
all the time. Its nice and quiet, peaceful
, orderly here in U.K.. people on pavement. Vehicles in road. Cows on
Farm.
The best time to Visit India is from November to February.
Mahadev is another name for Shiva…Indra is one of the thousand deities of Hinduism but what I do not know is Savitri …whether she is of the thousand Gods and Godesses …Hinduism can be really confusing..
Hmm..the city center of this little town has also several other foreign tourists …even in this hot and humid weather
Hi Gabriel, there's no doubt the things India has going for it are the food, which is very reasonable, and the accommodations, many of the other things are just a way of life in India and just tolerate it.
I can't imagine doing that hike in that heat, so I'm glad you did it for us! Amazing scenery.
What an epic track but so worth it,
Thank you, Gabriel.

16:30 Just a friendly reminder: never place your clothes or cap in a random public wash basin. You can’t imagine what’s going on there—spitting gutka, paan, and all sorts of unpleasantness! It's basically a no-go zone for anything clean. Keep your stuff safe and avoid it at all costs
Hello Gabriel
I like street market
Please come to Udaipur, i will show you some places around.
Hope you meet Kelly along the way…
I would never go to India. It looks absolutely disgusting.
