Yes. He reminds me of the hippies who visited Goa in the 70s. The original flower people traversing India in their path to enlightenment (whatever that is). A homestay back then cost a couple of dollars.
Palolem was our favorite place in Goa, we would walk to the right side of the beach and cross the little river and chill on the empty beach near that island on the right. The short boat tour on that river/mangrove is also cool with the eagle feeding, hundreds of eagles
Good to know. And guess what, looks like many vlogers took a cue from the background music advise I gave you back when you were in Goa. Been a while since I checked out your channel.
how could you not go to GOA, the beautiful Goa. I didn't think you were gonna release a video today. i'm a hour late to watch it, with that said dont leave India any time soon Gabe. India is beautiful, and you do an amazing job showing it.
Know exactly how you feel coming down to Goa! After 3 months in Nepal and then another 6 weeks travelling all across northern India, we were pretty beat up and were so happy to arrive here. The little things, like being able to feel your fingers and not having to be super wrapped up as you say, it's glorious! Great adventure as always ✌
It's even more diverse than just snowy mountains and nice beaches. The deserts of Rajasthan and the rainforests of Karnataka and north east India are largely unexplored by tourists.
honeymooned in Goa in 1997. stayed in calangute , but did an overnight trip to palolem beach . very differant now . just a few huts under palm trees back then .
2nd Favorite area in Goa , Agonda just north my favorite. It has everything you could want, wonderful beaches, Charas, lovely people, lots to do. Paradise!
@Gabriel Traveler i had an amazing 6 months in india/nepal Oct 1998 to Mar 1999 and have been fascinated with it ever since. I love watching your Vlogs on it now. Will return one day. ✌️
@Gabriel Traveler unfortunately not gabe, (though I have been to SE Asia OZ, NZ since) i settled into family/work life. When my daughter gets a bit older I will take her hopefully. I really loved the South as well. Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
Excited to explore that adventurous land! 🌴 India's vibes are truly unmatched, and Goa seems like the ultimate destination to experience it all. Can't wait to immerse myself in the culture and beauty of this incredible place! 🇮🇳✨
What a relief. After seeing online what they did to Anjuna I thought i would have to cross Goa off the list. But Patnem/Palolem seems to be the same as it has been for years!
@@gogadevIt is so overcrowded that you´d find more relaxation and serenity on Times Square NYC. Hoards of tourists have trampled down the atmosphere and all that is left is noise, the sense that the world is overpopulated and the feeling that human mankind has turned into brainless selfie, "click photo" and "I pay 800Rp for 3minutes of watersport" zombies. What a wonderful spot Anjuna has been pre COVID. I am almost crying as I write this. Maybe it gets a little better as the season is slowly coming to end.
My hats off to you Gabriel for demonstrating the art of negotiation when you bought the bead necklace from the lady at the beach. I wish I had this skill👍
I probably paid too much, the real price must be 50-100 rupees. But no biggie, I was kind of helping her out. They work really hard in the hot sun and don't get much business.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Recently due to Pandemic, the tourism in Goa is mostly Indians who usually do not buy these kinda stuff because they know the actual price and also very easy to find in rest of India. Definitely its around 30-80 rupees max but glad you helped her.
@@kkumar888 I think Gabriel is probably the only foreign adventure travel vlogger who has demonstrated over and over again in most of his videos how a foreigner can save money and enjoy the maximum number of attractions in any country in the world including India. If you are a subcriber like myself you probably have seen how he has avoided the people in Morocco who wanted to extract money out of him in Fez , Casablanca and Rabat...just because he is a foreigner
Also another reason why I admire and respect Gabriel is that when he is making his travel vlogs about a place he talks about the Histrory and Geography of that place. So he acts like a mobile Social Studies Educator and Grade School History and Geography students can also derive benefits from becoming subscriber to his channel..
Very nice Gabe!! It must feel good to be there after being in the himalayas, right? I love your previous trip to Goa as well!! Your older video of your trip to Goa is what got me excited to visit there myself. I haven't visited yet, but I will someday. Happy travels and stay safe!
Good to see you back in this sort of climate. More my cup of tea than those cold harsh places. Good video. I like the way you show us the prices and the colour of the money. 👍🇬🇧👍
*Goa, India. If all goes well I will be vlogging from that beach this year when I finish my Mexico vlogging tour but I need more subscribers and comments.*
Hey Gabriel, so good to see you back in Goa. Check out the Patnem Chai shop. It’s a really nice vintage tea shop with really nice traditional Goan breakfast food
That was a nice video - beautiful palm-fringed crescent beaches. It's chilly here in a UK winter! Are you going further south - perhaps all the way to Sri Lanka?
Watched your videos ages ago on your trips to India. Definitely helped plan and inspire my own trips. Thank you Gabriel. Happy you back in sunny Goa! Please go to Gokarna in Karnataka.
Hello Gabriel. I appreciate you visiting my country and making such lively vlogs about it. I am a big fan of your travel videos. While watching this video I just wanted to point out that while paying, try not to be too lenient. For example, The auto rickshaw that charged you 250 rupees, it should not be that much. They take advantage of your honesty. Which i felt really bad about. Sorry about it! Try not to convert valuations to USD always, cause 3usd might not be much for you but that’s still a decent amount of money that can give you a 18-20 km auto rickshaw ride in a city like mumbai. In goa the valuation should be similar if not slightly less.
Glad Ur taking a break in Goa why not. Just shared with my gf. She never been. Looks lovely. Not busy like Candolim. She intrigued. Hopefully may return
Try to visit the island of Divar, you can get there by a short ferry ride from Old Goa. Another place is the Tambdi Surla Shiva temple which is a marvel of ancient architecture. Calangute, Baga and Candolim are the tourist traps.
Palolom. My memory's are about 30 years ago there. Nothing there, basic room pig loos, and a crazy German GF.. I mean that in a positive way. Very rural and quiet. The Goa escape It still looks good. Amazing!
U have gone to one of my favorite place in Goa. I have been there 3 times, last time last Oct. Do visit Colomb beach, a small hike from Palolem beach and the sunset spot in Palolem beach and also Butterfly beach.
Namaste" Gabriel. I stayed in Colva Beach, rented a flat on the backside of a beachside home, .80cents USD per night! Enjoyed out my back porch the sunsets over the Arabian Sea sipping banana Lassie's while devouing my Coconut sweet and sour freshly caught prawns. Truly Nirvana! BeWellBeSafe NAMASTE'
Hi I also stayed at colva beach back in early 1990s stayed 3 trips usually 6 months at a time, blue diamond was one places, before renting a room opposite the football pitch area near Williams, most of the time on beach at Scarina's bar and evenings at Mathews Kentucky bar. So cheap back then dread to think how much it costs now, but I'd still love to go back.
Hey Gabe have you ever been to Om Beach? It's like 3 beaches south of Gokarna, Karnataka. Very pretty and from the hill it really does look like an Om with the rocks just offshore. I am curious to see how much it has changed, it used to be very chill. Happy Travels
U got a lot more to explore in goa! It's not just about beaches you will be amazed with the hidden beauty of goa! Like canguinim, Cabo de rama! You need almost 1 week to explore the entire goa!
Lived in chapora goa for I month (two in total India) back in 2004 it was nice and cheap. 1,2 euro for my small apartment (hut) 1,1euro for a bike and 1 euro for breakfast (coffee, orange juice, sandwich with cheese tomato and fried egg) happy times.
Do you think Goa's mixed culture makes tourist-friendly Goa more comfortable and attractive than other parts of India? Or its picturesque nature and beaches are its main attractions.
I stayed in Goa back early1990s did 3 trips staying 6 months at a time mainly in Colva Beach, Sucarinas bar, and Mathews Kentucky bar, visited Palolem a few times, back then there were no shops, restaurants bars, only one cafe bar near the beach and the beach was empty, went back 1999 to visit Colva very similar but Palolem was a shock so busy hate to think what it must be like now
Cheers to your Travel Spirit & Thank you--this brings back memories of late1990s Goa---maybe they will have locally made beers---Goan's version of Sikkim's millet beer "Chhang". Om Namah Shivayah, Sahajayana Da.
Hi Gabriel, it's still winter and it's time to get your vitamin D booster shot of sunshine to avoid those winter blues. Nice getaway to a warm and sunny climate topical it's a job you have doing these videos but a lot of the time it doesn't feel it right is one of them.
So...still not swimming recorded with your camera and you decide not to use GoPro anymore :) Still you dont belive in osmo action after last summer incident :) please forget that Osmo before summer in Greece we need to see that magical blue water 😎 btw of course, great video like always...
Far cheaper in Anjuna. You'd have got that beer for 70 rupees and that kind of accommodation for about 2000 a night (though don't book online, negotiate at the time). The initial tuktuk price of 120 seemed fair from Patnam to Palolem but to charge 250 to stop off in Chaudi is a bit high, it's not really that much out of the way, certainly not double the journey.
Hi gabe welcome to Goa, my hometown. Hope you enjoy it here. I'll suggest you to avoid the beach vendors who sell necklaces. They tend to cheat most of the time. Also if you get time do experience the carnival floats happening around Goa. Also you can visit places like Old Goa, Mangeshi temple to experience goan culture.
It feels like India because it is India and it was part of India before Portuguese came. It was Portuguese who invaded Goa not Indians. India just reclaimed it.
Gabe looks right at home in Goa, who's with me? 🇮🇳 😀
I felt that! 😁 But hell be gone soon from that happy place..😪
He went there so fast
He loves it
Yes. He reminds me of the hippies who visited Goa in the 70s. The original flower people traversing India in their path to enlightenment (whatever that is). A homestay back then cost a couple of dollars.
🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹***
Verry clean beach and village..right bro..
*Gabriel, thank you for sharing your joy, adventures, and all the kind souls you are surrounded with. It makes my heart smile. 🥰*

Been a while since I checked out your channel.
Good tip, maybe I'll check that out today.
When u mentioned the previous Goa visit I realized that I've been watching you for at least 7 years. Thanks for your perspective on planet Earth!
how could you not go to GOA, the beautiful Goa. I didn't think you were gonna release a video today. i'm a hour late to watch it, with that said dont leave India any time soon Gabe. India is beautiful, and you do an amazing job showing it.
Can't blame you for recharging your batteries in Goa after the hardcore travel of the Himalayas. The beach looks glorious 😍😎
From the cold to the heat. Fantastic, Gabriel. This looks like my idea for a vacation.
Know exactly how you feel coming down to Goa! After 3 months in Nepal and then another 6 weeks travelling all across northern India, we were pretty beat up and were so happy to arrive here. The little things, like being able to feel your fingers and not having to be super wrapped up as you say, it's glorious! Great adventure as always ✌
I had no idea India was so diverse! I can tell why you made the journey to Goa after all the cloudiness and coldness in the Himalayas
Just search Andaman and Nicobar Islands. You get to know actual diversity of India
India is the most diverese country in this world in every sense.
This happens to foreigners like you who only visualize entire India as old Delhi.
It's even more diverse than just snowy mountains and nice beaches. The deserts of Rajasthan and the rainforests of Karnataka and north east India are largely unexplored by tourists.
@@HemanthKumar-pr4qg those rainforests are truly amazing
Gabes upto something !!!
From Himalayas to Hyderabad to Goa .. wooooooaaah !!!!!
Nice Atmosphere For India, Reminds Me More Of A Caribbean Life Style, Thank You For Your Tour, Wendy
I'd love Goa. So glad I can experience it thru your video.
Really appreciate the way you do 360 degree views when you're walking around. Great videos, as usual 😀, thanks for the tour!
WOW...what a beautiful area 🤩🏖looks really cool 👍Thanks for sharing 😁✌
honeymooned in Goa in 1997. stayed in calangute , but did an overnight trip to palolem beach . very differant now . just a few huts under palm trees back then .
At last blue skies and sunshine ☀️🙂🎺🎵 enjoy Gabriel.
Great to be along the coast from you but heading south to Gokarna tomorrow....so close yet so far! Have a fab time Gabe!🙏🏻
Nice to see Palolem again, had great times there 13yrs ago.
Goa, the place I wanted to see, fantastic. Thanks Gabriel, enjoyed it a lot. Thank you ! 🙏
2nd Favorite area in Goa , Agonda just north my favorite. It has everything you could want, wonderful beaches, Charas, lovely people, lots to do. Paradise!
whats there to do in Agonda? besides charas.
@@SchokoKekseFTW Swim, eat, chill, scooter around
What if the beach is curved OUT vs in? Do you still like it?
goa is ultimate destination in india love the vibes
Great, thank you. I've always wanted to visit Goa. 👍
Thanks for sharing and your traveling experiences enjoying watching take care blessings 💯👍
Amazing. I was in Palolem in 1999. Looks much the same. We used to go to Canacona fish market and then have bbqs on the beach 🐟 good times!
I was in Benaulim in December 1999.
@Gabriel Traveler i had an amazing 6 months in india/nepal Oct 1998 to Mar 1999 and have been fascinated with it ever since. I love watching your Vlogs on it now. Will return one day. ✌️
I was in India exactly a year later, October 1999 to March 2000. Have you been back since then?
@Gabriel Traveler unfortunately not gabe, (though I have been to SE Asia OZ, NZ since) i settled into family/work life. When my daughter gets a bit older I will take her hopefully. I really loved the South as well. Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

Hey Gabriel, so good to see you back in Goa. Check out the Patnem Chai shop. It’s a really nice vintage tea shop with really nice traditional Goan breakfast food
My first time traveling outside of Europe and first time traveling alone I went here. Back in the beginning of 2012.
Gabe everyday I look forward to your videos .......this was a really nice beach town
Thank goodness you got out of Sikim. Feeling overwhelmed.
Try the Xacuti - Veg or Chicken. (Shack-Cute E) a Goan speciality a unique taste ...my favourite
We saw footage of Goa during the peak monsoon season ...what a difference and yes probably cooler temperatures ....
That was a nice video - beautiful palm-fringed crescent beaches. It's chilly here in a UK winter! Are you going further south - perhaps all the way to Sri Lanka?

In Goa, the prices are hiked because tourism is the state's primary revenue. But I agree with you, he is overpaying by quite a lot !

Great to see the blanket in prestine condition.. not a spek of Massala in sight 😂.. happy trails, keep it comin 👍
You Really Deserve Goa After Himalayan Tour
You see ... if you made a video of you getting a massage, that would be epic!
Nice Jamaican 🇯🇲 music playing at the bar while you were having your beer 🍺
We filmed a music video on the point near Goa. And I remember having a drink on the northern point looking over the beach. Nice spot.

Great destination, not surprised you have not ventured before. Was taken aback so quite, big draw card for many tourists. Enjoy 😄

Hi Wilfredo, there you are! How have you been and what places are you planning to visit in near future? India or elsewhere?
Hey Gabriel, I love the videos. Im hopefully heading to India in January and find your videoss very informative, thank you.,

Did you land at the new airport in Goa ? What did you think ?
Yes, it was quite nice.
@gabriel they’ve quoted you higher prices everywhere bro. That necklace is worth 50-100.
I am very happy to see NO TRASH on thet beach. None at all. I guess there are people employed to keep them clean?
Amazing video India 🇮🇳 isn't the cheapest not expensive but not as cheap as South East Asia.
Thanks for sharing
Gabe loves goa
Hi gabe welcome to Goa, my hometown. Hope you enjoy it here. I'll suggest you to avoid the beach vendors who sell necklaces. They tend to cheat most of the time. Also if you get time do experience the carnival floats happening around Goa. Also you can visit places like Old Goa, Mangeshi temple to experience goan culture.
Such a nice place with different vibe
5:34 "Ask and you shall receive"
It feels like India because it is India and it was part of India before Portuguese came. It was Portuguese who invaded Goa not Indians. India just reclaimed it.
Hope you go off trail to some new non touristic places,Goa and Hampi has every square inch filmed and uploaded on TH-cam already!
Lovely. I haven't been to Goa yet.
