Gabriel if i report a comment do you get it or does it go to the people at TH-cam
Bangladesh was a part of the “ British India” till Aug 14th, 1947. It was part of the unified state of Bengal ( the Indian side of West Bengal is still a state and Kolkata is the capital). The people are ethnically similar to the people on the Indian side and called Bengalis as well. The partition separated Bangladesh as East Pakistan and was part of Pakistan till 1971 when Bangladesh became an independent country. It was part of the Presidency of Calcutta during British India when Calcutta used to be the capital of British India.
Couple of things you want to do in Bangladesh
1) Visit the Bangladesh side of Sunderbans. The highest number of tigers are in Sunderbans distributed between India and Bangladesh. Sightings might be a bit tough since it’s a mangrove swamp and delta region
2) You should ride the Samjhauta Express to Kolkata. It’s the only cross border friendship train from Kolkata to Dhaka and back and it’s a unique experience. You will run into lots of people with ties to both countries with lots of stories.
They don’t speak Arabic in West Pakistan either. The Pakistani lingua frana is Urdu which is almost similar to Hindi.
@@gazriley624 it goes to TH-cam.
@@gazriley624 I don't see that, it goes to youtube, probably an automated system in which the comment gets removed if there's a certain number of similar reports.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos will you please remove the comment i'm talking about? i can't see TH-cam removing it they must get millions of reported comments
Chaotic capital indeed! Good to see some Gabriel style footage from there. So immersive!
Cool, glad to hear it.
I spent 3 months volunteering in the country back in 2015. The countryside is beautiful (though it's hard to find somewhere with no people at all, very densely populated) and a good community spirit means no one goes hungry. It's only cities such as Dhaka where there is massive poverty and it's frankly quite filthy - people aren't really from there, they just go as a means to earn a high salary, and so they just don't care about the environment or other people as much.
The locals are very curious. If you were to just sit down on a bench for 10 minutes I can guarantee that a crowd of intrigued people would surround you to simply watch you 😄
Also the only place I've been to in the world where people take to their fists to resolve disagreements publicly, very swiftly.
Thank you for the additional insights!
Man I'm loving these Bangladesh vids!! It's amazing that after so many times in India, you're still caught by the intensity of this place.
Yeah it's always an adjustment reentering such an alternate reality. Thailand is like Switzerland by comparison.
Gabriel High roller always wins at every place he goes. He seems to have this down and the music sections are so well mixed in. Getting smoother as he goes along. Much Love Sir.
Haha i saw that instagram post too
Wish he was a bit more edgy though i like crazy TH-camrs but yes Gabe is Great
Fascinating walk. You are so good talking with the local residents. Thanks, Gabriel.
This definitely would be culture shock for me! Stay safe and have fun🙂
It’s like arriving in Los Angeles or New York or Miami a nd Toronto ……a huge Culture Shock……‼️‼️‼️😡
This is a nightmare! Suddenly living in Bulgaria seems like paradise.
I couldn't agree more.
Why nightmares?
Once this was one of the richest cities in the world. But then Brits came.
Living in Bulgaria? I don’t know how do u compare? I don’t have the problems in Bulgaria. If i want to earn more that 2k euro i go to UK and return to Bulgaria and live very well 🖐🏻 U can travel and work anywere but only in Bulgaria the great nature, cheap prices and very well food. And tax also very less
Yes, it is. But the 'paradises' on earth come in various shapes and forms. And much of that is quite incompatible to each other.
I've been waiting for this soooo long. I have followed you since the Estonia videos. Absolutely love the way you keep the vlogs very personal and raw exploration. I am from Bangladesh but I currently live in Canada for studies. It can be very hectic in Bangladesh at times and some scammers are there, like other countries. But mostly, you will find friendly people who get amused to see a foreigner.
As you know, Dhaka is the world's most populated city so my suggestion would be to visit other districts. Sylhet is full of tea gardens and waterfalls, Chittagong has mountain tribes and Cox's Bazar beach(Please visit St Martin island if you can), Rajshahi and Bogura are very clean districts with rich history (Mahastangar in Bogura has ruins of one of the earliest civilization in Asia), Sundarbans have Mangrove forest and Royal Bengal tigers (P.S. Cincinati Bengals name came from this) and lastly Bandarbans/Nilgiri (Hilly areas with monkeys and tribes)
Its probably cold now so idk how much you can explore but I'm sure you'll find some interesting stuff from above. Also don't forget to try the traditional food like Shutki(dried fish), Bharta(mashed), Duck, Red spinach, ilish fish and many other fish if you can. Other than that, food is mostly like India. Oh and please try western food here like burgers, pizza, Italian (not from American joints, like burger king) but from Bangladeshi stores like Chillox/Farmhouse.
Anyway, thats a lot of informationn, hope you find the time to read it. Enjoy your stay at Bangladesh and keep exploring the world 💙✌
Thanks for the info, I'll keep it in mind. ✌
I know, right? I've been also waiting for a Bangladesh series, but for some reason none of my favourites vloggers go there. And then Gabriel posts this. Brilliant!
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I have heard good things about Sylhet, might be worth checking out.
Big cities area chaotic but the villages, countryside is beautiful in Bangladesh.
@@Trashh27 nah Bangladesh is something else. I would say it's the culture that makes the difference. But yeah every countryside is beautiful.
It's shocking how noisy, crowded, and filthy this place is. Equally disappointing that the people living there don't care enough to clean it up. And yet at the same time--it's a very interesting video.
I trust Gabriel will also take us out to the rural areas, where it will be cleaner, and have some views of lovely countryside.
Welcome to South Asia bro..🤣
it's not so much that they "don't care", but rather that there are so many millions of people in one place, living in an incredibly impoverished city. there are simply not enough resources and infrastructure to handle it. the residents are certainly to blame, but the government is also not putting in enough effort to remedy the problems. there are over 22 million people living in dhaka and it's surrounding area. to manage such numbers of people takes immense effort. compare that to a city like tokyo where they have a similar population. the difference there, is that there is sufficient taxes and reinvestment in the city that keeps it in order. dhaka is still has a long way to go to improve, but they are trying. it would probably take a century or two to get dhaka to the state a cities ike tokyo, paris or NYC are - and the country as a whole. poverty and corruption is an extremely hard thing to fix
Been to quite a lot of places throughout the world. It's nice to see different countries and cultures. But I don't think I would ever visit Bangladesh. You deserve a medal for staying there for 6 days.
It's one of the most amazing countries I've visited. Challenging, yes, but watching Gabe there is bringing back all these memories of my time there 30+ years ago when I was 20. Incredible experiences of paddle steamers on vast rivers; massive formations of fruit bats taking off at dusk; meeting a transgender woman with her friends who seemed to accept that "God put a woman in a man's body"; getting to the island of Sandwip through the awesome tides of the Bay of Bengal on a German-built ship that had to go full steam ahead just to stay still against the falling tide; disturbing memories of a domesticated monkey on a rope harassing a cat; eating at a restaurant where they asked us if we wanted beer and, when we said yes, waiting 25 minutes for a guy to show up with two cans of warm Oranjeboom... Many more.
I think you all exaggerate. It's a large, crowded, not-rich city. But so far in this video, he looks safe, no one bothered him. The people look fed and busy, and mind their own business. So to me, that's not bad. Safety is always most important.
no one bothered him?
@@Thiiink No.
Dhaka is the rich city. He have visited old Dhaka. Dhaka is divided into two part. These are modern Dhaka and old Dhaka. He have presented Bangladesh like poor. But he is absolutely wrong. I recommend him to visit Gulshan, Uttra,Banani, Baridhara,Tejgonj,Basundhara,Mirpur.
@@justtravel1111 The national income per capita is $2400. That's why Bangladesh is a poor country.
@@user-yp9vr2gm7e Don't provide misinformation. The per capital income of Bangladeshi people now over 2800 USD. If you see the condition of growth of Bangladesh economy, you will get many information which will be helpful to remove your ignorance. 'The GDP of Bangladesh will cross billion and go to trillion very soon' report says. The financial express says Bangladesh will be the 35th rich country within 2030 in the world. Our government vision is that Bangladesh will be high developed country within 2041 and it will be called 'Smart Bangladesh'. After taking government power, Bangladesh Awami League starts to build our country. All development has been developed within 12 years. From 1975 to 1996 and 2001 to 2008 Bangladesh was ran by the worst and criminal party. For that no development was developed in these time. But from previous 12 years Bangladesh has been changed. Bangladesh have taken many mega projects like metro rail,Padma bridge( which is the most challenging engineering in 21 century in this world), neuclear power plant(first time in Bangladesh), Bangabandhu tunnel(under Karnafuli river, first time in south Asia), Building third terminal of Hazrat Shahjalal international Airport( will be most decorated and smart), Turning cox's bazar airport into international airport, Dhaka-Maya express way, Dhaka elevated expressway, Dressing of Paira seaport and turning into international seaport where any type of ship will be able to ran and park and can be load and unload goods. Now Bangladesh has started manufacturing car with Hyundai. This car will be used to fullfill the demand of car of Bangladeshi citizens and will be exported all over the world. 'Made in Bangladesh' will be common sentence in this world soon. Bangladesh is now 2nd country on garment sector. I don't want to make long this comment anymore. Learn about Bangladesh with good sense. You will be understood all if you have good mind.
I love travelling, I love seeing new cultures.
There was nothing about this that made me want to go there.
In general I prefer going outside cities.
But you've got to see the cities while you are there.
That did not look like a fun experience to me, walking those streets.
outside Dhaka is much better. like saint martin island for sea, sajek valley for mountains and for natural side-viewing the villages
I love that you talk to local Bangladeshis. Enjoy brother!
This is the first travel vlog I’ve seen where the vlogger actually did basic historical research of the country he/she’s traveling. Well done.
What a trip we're having. Thank you, Gabriel.
Gabriel is a rock star. This country seeing it is new to me. Thanks 🙏
I am from Bangladesh. Try to visit Modern Dhaka like Gulshan,Banani.
Visit Coxbazar,Saint Martin Iland,Bandarban hill area,Srimongol tea garden,Sundarbans tidal forest,North part of Bangladesh Rangpur Division....
Why your gov leave old Dhaka in a mess? Just clean it up like other places. Everyone deserves a better environment right?
@@keangwooichoo6138 This area is too much populated. Road is narrow.although Bangladesh 35th largest GDP In the word but its per capita income it is not much because of higher population. Government try to solve this problem to build metro rail.
@@keangwooichoo6138 It’s nearly impossible to restore Old Dhaka. Too much populated
That's an intense city, great for vlogging as there's so many local characters willing to be on camera. My barber is from Bangladesh and keeps telling me I should visit, maybe one day. Look forward to part 2!
There's just some places I couldn't imagine going....and this would be one of them.
Me too

This is going to be a great series from Gabriel, Bangladesh looks amazing 👍👍 greetings from 🇬🇧
So cool to watch Gabe, I especially like it when people take an interest in you and exchange a conversation 😉
Hey Gabriel, this was truly a profound capture. I was on the edge of my seat, watching this in anticipation, for when I visit this nation. I’m happy that you made it here and I hope that you enjoy.
Chaos. I won't go there to Dhaka, but it is interesting to see a travel vlog from there, in order to comprehend how chaotic there it really is.
I'd be perfectly happy walking those street taking it all in but it's the technicalities that would give me severe anxiety. Thank you for taken me here Gabriel.
Bangladesh is really only recommended to experienced World travelers. Best for beginners to travel to India atleast 2-3 times before going to Bangladesh.
lol
It would be cool to take a non traveler out of middle American and land them right in the middle of Dhaka.
I think Gabriel qualifies as a world traveler. lol
@@pacoandellie but why he just show poor area of dhaka only ? for views??
there are lots of traveler show netural beauty, good area . he need a guide
@@Swampzoid this would be a great idea for a reality tv show. This would be the real survivor.
Hello sir,
It's an awesome feeling to see you in Bangladesh. I'm from Bangladesh as well but currently living in Hungary. I'm a regular viewers of your channel since 2019. I saw hundreds of places on your eyes (by your channel). I wish I could meet you in Bangladesh. I hope one day the dream will come true and I will see you somewhere in Europe. If you have any plan to visit Hungary (Budapest), then please let me know. I would love to be with you. I don't know how much you like Bangladesh. But try to enjoy as much as you can 😉
Thanks for this video..... marking Bangladesh OFF my list of countries I want to visit someday!
I went there 25 years ago. Loved it.
Too much chaos! I wouldn't be able to cope. Take care Gabriel, may the Lord watch over you!
Kolkata your next destination is very similar to Dhaka. especially North Kolkata can be as chaotic as old Dhaka. there are places in Kolkata where the Bangladeshi immigrants are the majority. south kolkata is less chaotic and more developed. East Kolkata is most developed and for posh people.
If a migraine was a place it would be here. Pure chaos.
100% appreciate it all but my mind can’t wrap my head around the intensity. Props Gabriel.
I was recently on Instagram...and this young lady that travels was in Bangladesh. Her pics were of a lush green paradise. She must have been outside of the city in a resort area. So, of course, I've been dreaming of Bangladesh... def not Dhaka. Is it hard to breathe with all that pollution? Looks really harsh.
@@EnjoyTH-cam thank you for the advice 🙏🏼 ☺️
The constant horn beeps drives me crazy.I would have to leave there fast …..it looks like hell
Amazing. Proper travelling. Reminds me of when I first went to Delhi in 1998. Looking forward to seeing more of Bangladesh. Keep up the good work 👍
Definitely alot happening Gabriel! 😎☀️stay safe! 😊❤
Gabriel an observation not a negative judgement but that city has to be the dirtiest poorest city I’ve seen on TH-cam or ever visited myself .. man it’s got a long way to go
@Kh F even your gulshan or banani or what so ever bangladesh so called modern area still looks 3rd world with very polluted and very dirty. i already saw youtube video a couple from romania called DoDo explorer and they already explored those modern bangladesh which it doesnt looks even modern though and they are still currently in the PHILIPPINES and it is far opposite from what they saw to bangladesh.
If you want to see the real beauty of Bangladesh then you have to go outside Dhaka.
Rural environment of Bangladesh and.
Cox's Bazar Sylhet Sundarban Bandarban.
Saint Martin.
Sajek.
Chittagong.
Barisal.
Kishoreganj.
and villages of Bangladesh Rajshahi.
People in the chat are suggesting to visit the villages of Bangladesh, maybe it's worth the trip Gabriel
Stay in Bangladesh for at least one month, Gabriel. Visit places outside Dhaka city specially in different villages of the country. Bangladesh is a different experience but it will grow on you for sure if you take it slow and explore various parts of country. Wishing you a wonderful time in Bangladesh!
His visa is for 12 days
He has spent long stretches of time there though in the past. Seems like he likes all the countries that used to make up colonial India.
Looks like a really interesting country. My wife was almost having an anxiety attack at the intensity of everything 😊
I so enjoyed your history lesson this morning!!! And I was happy you survived the streets of Dhaka while teaching!!! 😮
Thank u so much sir Gabe for your wonderful walk around tour video there in Dakhar Bangladesh, Stay safe Godbless from the Philippines 🇵🇭 sir Marvin 🙂🙏🙏👍👍👏👏
T Mobile works everyplace we have been!!! We love T mobile..
What a charming place. Can't wait to take my family vacation to this tranquil and quiet town
LOL
You might enjoy Myrtle Beach
😂
My dream used to be to travel to all 196 UN recognized countries but after experiencing some countries I was like eff that. Some countries are just not worth the hassle, risk of safety for the little cultural return the trip provides.
Having a local handler will undoubtedly provide for a better experience but I’d rather spend that extra cash relaxing on the beaches on a Thai island.

Yes I agree, I have been to 129 countries, 70 still to go, I have ruled out definitely 20 countries which leaves another 50! I haven't totally ruled out Bangladesh but let's say it will be in the last half of the list!
@@cypruscats8450 129 nice! I’ve been to 95 and struggling to reach 100. Bangladesh is not off my list entirely but when looking at my options guaranteed fun relaxation somewhere in se Asia or guaranteed trudging through waste, inhaling diesel, mediocre curry…why even bother
@@Verity888 exactly! Unless of course the remainder of the country comes up trumps! So let's see.
@@cypruscats8450 true must keep an open mind. Best wishes to your future travels
Very much Χάος(Chaos) in this city but on the other hand a very authentic and sympathetic city! Gabriel a real traveler!
I've been to India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Myanmar and have considered visiting Bangladesh but it becomes less likely as the years pass. It's as I expected it would be, Dhaka is a dirty mess but I'm sure there are some other areas that would be more pleasant and magical.
There are plenty of other areas. Sylhet, Chittagong, Coxs Bazar.
If you watched vlogs by sunkissed Bucket List. Outside Dhaka is not so bad surprisingly. Dhaka also has a new township. Looked like American cities similar to philippines' BGC.
He’s in the oldest most crowded part of Dhaka. Other parts are better.
Thanks for your dedication and showing the other side of the world. We've met some absolutely wonderful people from there and they are friendly and helpful.
Wow. Feel overwhelmed watching this. The noise, the sea of humanity, the honking is intense. Very curious to see what it's like outside of Dhaka. You're not in Thailand anymore!
Truly amazing to see you arrive and drop right into that intensity! Dramatic.
The "weird-looking" monument is the "Zero Point Square" of Dhaka or of Rather Bangladesh from where the road/straight-line distance of all the 64 districts of Bangladesh is measured
Wow, fascinating.
And I complain about traffic in LA
la is turning into this - give it 5 more years.
Good job on imparting all that history and contextual info while navigating the streets, filming and interacting with the locals, quite a skill!
Wow what an experience, classic Gabriel Traveler
that place is over populated! HOLY!!
I didn't think it could get much grittier and grimier than India, but Bangladesh may just have succeeded.
Well you haven't been to Haiti.
you know pretty much history of bangladesh awesome. hope you are having a nice tour in bangladesh
Love From Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Well, that was great! So interesting, my kinda adventure, loved it. Been in all the surrounding areas but never Bangladesh, thanks for taking us, Can't wait to see more!
The place looks like living somewhere around 20 years back at the beginning of the video. but nice weather though. Thanks for sharing. 😍😍😍
Nest time visit Chittagong, Cox's Bazar, Sylhet, Chittagong hill Area and Sundarban.
The way you have shown us the different areas of the entire Dhaka city is really amazing.
Such an intense human interaction in just a few minutes. So different experience from the snobby western world. Would love to visit this city one day and explore the country side of Bangladesh. Keep up the good work. Content from not well-known countries are always welcome.
People looks so busy , no staring
All the red-bearded men are interesting. I read that Bangladeshi men dye their beards with henna as a recent fashion trend b/c they feel it makes them look younger and because Muslim clerics have recently been teaching that Mohammed himself used to dye his beard the same way.
😵💫 it’s intensely dizzying
I can see why you went here, such an experience. But as a woman I don’t think this is the place for me!
Looks like absolute hell on earth compared 16:04 to Thailand where you just came from.
Isn't Thailand worse?
I just would like to point out something. The British people colonised us rather than conquering us. The whole subcontinent was already a unified nation under the mughal which even includes some part of Afghanistan. The Brits basically came here and took over the region that was controlled by the mughals using various nefarious ways for "business". But I do agree that the difference between the 2 words is somewhat blurry. We were conquered by various kingdoms from mughals to Turks to Persians but not the British. There is a difference between colonisation and conquering. Bengali people didn't just become Muslims due to conquering. Islam also doesn't spread by sword. We became majority muslims mainly due to Muslim preachers, Arab/Turks/Persian merchants who came to Bangladesh during the 1400s. Bengali is also a very different language compared to Hindu. The root of Bengali is not Sanskrit, it is Madhya prakrit. Madhya prakrit was a language spoken by people in the far East of South Asia. But yeah due to mixing between Hindi people, Urdu people, Arabic and etc etc people the original Bengali language has somewhat diluted. We Bengalis can understand Hindi people due to Bollywood but Hindi people cannot understand us. So the two languages are actually not so mutually intelligible. And the writing script is also very different.
Thanks for the info.
Your music is apt and has got the Bangladeshi vibe in it
Gabe you gotta love T-Mobile!!!! Also I loved the geography lesson you taught the young guys in the middle of the street! Lol 😂😂 that was priceless!
Never in a million years could I go to that country. Kudos to you Gabriel for doing so. So much poverty and the noise. No way 😮
Gabe be sure to travel to Sylhet, city in the north eastern part of Bangladesh. You'll enjoy getting away from the hustle & bustle of Dhaka
Love from India
Please go outside of dhaka and exploring the village life of Bangladesh.
You will be fall in love with Bangladeshi village life.
Nice chaotic and energetic vibes.
Good work Gabriel. 👍👍👍🍀
It is the oldest city in Bangladesh.
If you want to see new Dhaka then you have to go to Gulshan 1 nd 2 Banani.
Followed Gabriel for years even as to details as knowing he has a book out, slept to the ASMR sound of his boots in snow back when he went home to the library and even as thorough as Teal Swan interaction of him... thus it is always a delight and pleasure to see the BOSS in my hometown which I left.
Very Interestin looking forward too these vlogs, my birthday today 17th, -3 degrees today here in Scotland. Enjoy 👍
Thanks for the awesome adventure love this channel!!!!
This is one of those destinations I would say that are for travellers: level experienced
It's not that difficult especially in Dhaka. There's not much tourist infrastructure which can make it a challenge. On the other hand it's safe (crime wise) and the people are wonderfully welcoming.
In this video Gabriel stuck to the main roads. A block back in the lanes of old Dhaka is where you want to be. Still crazy with people but a different scene altogether.
Wait till you see the river. It's alive with activity
Hey Gabriel. Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to the sites! I think your quiet time is over, my friend.
Once you arrive in Kolkata, do visit the new town area, it is spick and span. However, central Kolkata is a bit crowded . If possible do dig in some bengali food ; recently Kolkata has been chosen as one of the 11 food destinations in the world.
Being the seat of British India and the first capital, our city boasts of several heritage buildings and structures like the Victoria Memorial, Marble Palace , Town Hall, Howrah Bridge, St.Paul's Cathedral, High Court area, National Library, Fort William , James Princep Ghat, Metcalfe Hall ,Governor's House and so on.
Also try to visit Mother Teresa's House, Rabindranath Tagore's House, Shobhabazar Palace, Dakshineswar Temple and Belur Math.
Have a wonderful time in Kolkata.
If you have time do visit the hill stations of West Bengal including the world famous Darjeeling!
Kolkata is the London of the East, with palm trees and chaos.
I visited Kolkata last year. Found central Kolkata very vibrant & full of activity. Took a long walk from Bhawanipur to Howrah Bridge via Burrabazar. Such is the city vibe that the distance didn't bother me
greetings from Kuala Lumpur! you are one brave hombre Gabe ❣️
WOW! Gabriel, thank you for showing Bangladesh and sharing the history of the country. You are a great story teller!
Its sad to see soo much litter everywhere...
My god, I was getting dizzy watching the streets and whatever was happening there - and I thought India was bad.
You looked like a celebrity on the streets of Dhaka!
Bangladesh was part of Pakistan. That's all you need to know. Thanks, Gaby, for showing us the effects of nuclear explosion. I think I'll pass on this one.
That was hectic!
Thanks for coming Bangladesh
This might be the most chaotic place on earth.
Hello sir..Welcome to my country Bangladesh. Have a nice tour.
Pollution is problem, crazy
You can also say 'KI OBOSTHA' or 'KEMON ACHEN' , Its a casual thing we use in daily basis, basically it means 'Whats Up' Or 'How ya doing'
Wow! I’m glad you’re there instead of me. It looks absolutely horrendous! I actually came away from watching your video feeling extremely depressed! Those poor people!
This place is so scary. Close to getting , ran over, bumping into people, or a bike getting you. Those buildings look like something out of a horror movie, this trip, watching you makes me hold my breath. Be careful Gabriel. You the man.
Yikes! The opening video looked like you were in a landfill. We take our sanitation/garbage service for granted.
Great to see you in Dhaka, Gabe! This is travelin'
Makes me think of the George Harrison song "Bangladesh" from 1971 about the war and famine. Hope you get out of the capital. The ferries are quite an experience but i think they've retired all the old 1900s "rocket" paddle steamers by now, or they have sunk. From what I see, there are much nicer ferries to travel on now. Waking up on the river is something you will never forget. For what it's worth, I crossed the land border from India and there's a train to/from the border to Calcutta, so you have other options besides your flight. I was going the other direction from you, but I took a bus from the border crossing to Khulna.
Good to know, I wasn't sure if I would be allowed to cross that border, but I guess it's possible. It must be a long line.
