I did the public bus trip from Manali to leh 20 years ago.
Probably the most beautiful, tiring bus trip i ever done .
Only 4 hours to keylong, stop overnight, left at 4am next day and arrived in leh at 8pm!
Only a solo driver the whole 16 hours, he was incredible. I'll never forget the refreshment stations on the salt flats en route.
your profile picture on TH-cam is from Ladakh India while your cover picture is from McLeod Ganj India. that shows your love for the country.
Exactly.
@@GabrielTravelerVideosIndia loves you back as well ❤
It’s the rainy season here in the Caribbean.Thanks for showing us the world.
Where's the Caribbean, and who are you exactly?
At 16:27 in that shot from the plane, just right of the wing, that is legendary Nanga Parbat (8126 m), the ninth-highest mountain on Earth 😍😍 As I said in yesterdays video, just amazing part of the world. Hope today's trip over Khardung La towards Nubra valley went as planned, can't wait to see that scenery 😁
Wow, very cool.
The weather is just fine!! Btw khardung La is not the highest motorable road anymore.. Highest currently is Umling La.
Leh is such a beautiful and stunning town nestled up there in the Himalayas! cannot wait for your next video. I SO love the Himalayas! Beautiful, mystical and amazing! Your channel is such an inspiration.
That such an awesome and mystical place!!!
Gabe, thanks for timely updates on your travels to northern India. It's amazing I can start my day watching your videos about Leh, Ladakh over breakfast. In my opinion it doesn't get any better than this. Kind Regards, be safe Toronto, Canada
Love to visit Canada 🇨🇦 one day but please get rid of your woke prime minister, Dustbin Trudeau, in the next election.
@@dee74raz Trudumania has had its run. Common sense will prevail in the next election much to the disappointment of Khalistani supporters.
@@dee74raz Canada is an awesome country to visit. I don't know why Gabriel doesn't make it a point to visit & highlight the many worthwhile places to visit
Gabriel, I love your passion. I've been watching you since 2014. 🙏"
Classic Leh Views. Great coverage. Waiting for next video. Thanks for showing.
Highest motorable pass is Umling la. Also in Ladakh. It has beaten Khardungala. Just for your information
Yes, I saw that it's a bit south of Leh I believe.
Umling is at a height of 19024 feet
This is a great video. both entertaining and educational, very happy you are being blessed with clear skies and warm sun, I too am a fan of stark landscapes.
Hope you get to explore spots like Pangong Tso Lake, Phugtal Monastery, Kharnak, Zanskar, Tso Kar Lake, Hanle, Phukthar Monastery, Tso Moriri Lake, Puga Valley, and Umling La Pass (world's highest motorable road) in Ladakh. But heads up, not sure if all of them are open this month.
You have suggested entire ladakh in short..😂 it will take atleast 10-15 clear weather days..!
Keep up the good work. You simply rock.
Think I've got 2 or 3 of your videos to catch up on when I'm at Delhi airport flying back to the UK.. had a great time in India.. thanks for the inspiration!
With the shades on,you look like Sam Elliot from the movie Road House,Gabe.Great video as always.
Gabe how was your Gobble Gobble day? Did the crazy headache due to the quick change of altitude subside? I'm gonna go make dinner and then come back and watch it all. Have a good evening.
Yes, things improved after another day up here. Then it got intense again when I went over Khardung La Pass today, but it all worked out.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos It's part of the game and glad it all worked out 😎🙏🏻.
👍💪GABRIEL, CONGRATs!!! YOUR STAMINA TO PRODUCE NON STOP VIDEOS IS IMPRESSIVE!!!🌷😊
I think anyone on a trip can walk around holding a camera and filming as they go about their day. Not sure how impressive stamina comes into it?
If your headache gets worse it could be signs of HAPE. See a doctor immediate. Hape can be fatal.
Acclimatize atleast two days in Leh before travelling outside of Leh.
The weather looks to be warmish . 10 years younger and not in any traffic. Leduck has it changed in 10 years. Love ❤️ the colours and people. Peace ✌🏾 Keep safe on your journeys
Your going to all the amazing places I want to go to up on the earth's roof. Once again I can only dream of following in your footsteps 👣. Go Gab........
Oh lovely. I just love Ladakh. The sun is so bright. I never had this altitude sickness. Didn't feel anything even on top of Khardung La.
Another great tour😊
Gabriel, each of your videos are well worth watching!! Many thanks, Jul and family ❤
I really enjoyed seeing this part of the world. Thx 4 sharing
Looking at prices I agree this place is incredible.
Gabe really nice series
I am so loving this town! It is so colorful and seems much cleaner, plus the beautiful mountains. I can’t wait for the next video!
I got stuck in a traffic jam there from Sonamarg too once, must happen a lot. Was a beatiful area.
Great place. Spent a week there a few years ago whilst climbing in the mountains. Loved the place and the people.
Please visit pangong lake. U will love it
So so beautiful! 😊
Great, All the best for exploration of the various cultures of different places.

I only heard of this place about 30 minutes ago. Now I want to go there.
Endless stream of vlogs!
Hi Gabriel, I have a theory about Tibet and why you identify with this culture I believe there's a close relationship with Native Americans and you visited the Southwest many times and you know there is such symbolism regarding depictions and artwork drawings many similarities but different and as you know Native Americans have been described as Asians and as we know Native Americans were already here when the Europeans arrived. The theory is they crossed over the Alaskan bridge when the Continents were closer. Even when Columbus arrived in the Caribbean, he called them Indians thinking he arrived in Asia there is a connection between these cultures in the distant past.
Gabriel may be a reincarnation of an ancient Himalayan master.
You're really digging deep for your linking him to Native Americans, Asians and Columbus etc. He's just an old hippy-ish dude and his type tend to be drawn to places like this.
The american natives came from siberia down to northern China area
Thanks for the history lesson buddy, but I don't need you to take me back to what we all learned in highschool
Tibet was part of Indian civilization and culture since time immemorial. Kailash mountain and Mansarovar lake in Tibet are where Shiva and many other great indian beings stored their knowledge and wisdom in the form of energy. these two are most spiritual places in the world while visiting them people start bursting with tears of ecstasy.
though Tibet is a Buddhist place but all the Tibetan deities are Indian Hindu ones with slightly modified names. when I$lamic invaders attacked India and people were persecuted most of the sages went higher up in the Himalayas and Tibet to escape it and meditate in peace. They brought their deities with them.
Typical ignorant Brahmin mentality bundling the minorities like Buddhists and Sikhs as Hindus without their consent and liking and calling other minorities like Muslims and Christians as invaders and foreigners...
Do you know Buddhism was started by Buddha as a rebellion and resistance against Hindu religion, rituals and customs and even low caste Hindus adopted Buddhism as a rebellion against Hinduism and you still have the audacity to bundle them as part of Hindus? Do you care what the Buddhists says about your this association of them as part of Hinduism? You don't just like you don't heed to the Sikhs protesting against your continuous association of them as part of Hinduism... disgusting
As for muslims islam spread through the work of innumerable sufis like Shah e Hamdan whose mosque is still found in vicinity of leh city which is said to have been constructed on the land which used to be a sea and was drained miraculous by the great Sufi.. you love to believe your hate Preacher politicians that islam spread only through sword if that was case Chengis khan who was most brutal person in history would have destroy islamic religion but he couldn't the French and European Christians who converted sub Saharan Africa to Christianity couldn't convert north African muslims although they killed millions.why? The truth is force can never ever completely change a people atleast not for long especially in far flung areas like ladakh where no one knows what goes on .. islam spread through the sufis who shrines dot ever nook and corner of Indian cities and towns where more Hindus pay reverence than Muslims.. even your famous god Sai Bagwan in whose name you have built millions of temples is a Muslim Sufi and name hindu also given by Muslims so be grateful not an jealous inferiority complex ridden insecure bakht .
see the script of tibetan language. it's almost same script which bengali and assamese language use. and we can even read it
Juicy! 🎉
Gabriel , Thank you for this introduction of this area . Hope that you can find dohething to relieve your throat . Unless you carry around a medicine bag . Maybe one of the venders has a good home remedy , to keep you going . Take care , try to find something to take . Will say a prayer for your well-being 🙏🏻
Yes, found some medicine and cough drops here in Leh, there are lots of pharmacies. Thanks for watching.
The Land of Bruce Leh 🤛
Lol 😂
Thats a good one actually.
Gabs the best travelle vlogger on TH-cam 🎉❤
Your 2nd tour, nice zafar from Pakistan 💯👍🙏💛💚 now I'm watching the video
5:40 Umling La is now highest mot road in da world
Juley Gabriel! Welcome to Ladakh. I recommend you to visit Zanskar if you have any time. You can explore a unique cultures and landscape view. Have a good time in Ladakh.
Jammu is majority hindu but a significant portion of population follows islam around 30%-40% while kashmir is almost 99% muslim
10 years later and a lot more white hair… I am in the same position.
Riveting comment
Hello Gabriel, thank you for your travel videos ! I always enjoy seeing them.
By the way, you were talking about a pain throat.. I'd like to know if you have a medecine kit with you, and what kind of medication, drugs in it ?
This is useful for such journeys.. Thanks, François
I don't travel with any medical supplies, but you can always go to a pharmacy wherever you are and find medicine. There are lots of pharmacy shops in India, including here in Leh.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos And a lot of medicines can be purchased over the counter in those pharmacies without a doctor's prescription.
Thanks for your reply 👍
Bro do visit SHANTI STUPA. If you
Don’t visit your trip is WORTHLESS
I was expecting Leh to be a relatively small remote outpost, not the thriving mini-metropolis it appears to be. Especially surprising considering how barren the surrounding area is, with little or no local agriculture? Wondering if you can explain how the local food economy works? (I could google it, but that would be less fun :-)
you need to go to tibet my dude
Taxis have commercial number plates, usually yellow in color. Normal number plates have white color.
Islam spread through sufis all Indian cities and towns are dotted with sufi shrines..even in leh there is a mosque called Shey Masjid around 10 km outside the town which was constructed on land miraculous created by draining a sea by the great sufi Shah e Hamdan..
No, it was spread through violence.
@@amitkriit that is what your politicians tell you and keep you ignorant FYI even your famous god sai bagwan in whose name you have built millions of temples is a Sufi muslim..
@@basharatali9946 it is a fact.
No. 1
Boom, got it.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Take royal enfield bike and enjoy the ride
Sir i may be wrong but leh city already have 5g coverage 😮 ???
Wonderful vlog❤
Take some zinc and vitamin C for your sore throat. Take care dear Gabriel. Lovely video as always.😊❤
What about Thanksgiving? Aren’t you going to join the family in States?
These traffic jams in the hills just outside the main town in India are common place
egg momos are fancy and fancied in Leh and as they when in Rome do as the Romans do !
i took that road in 2012 in spring. was terrifying
A lot has changed in the past 10 years.
👍👍👍
You can notice the changes in condition of road infrastructure back than 2014#khangress😂
Bon Julley- Leh Your Hands On Me 😋
Who are you, exactly?
@@ErvuJukl I am God. Now obey me 😁
@@dee74raz oh, so God truly exists? 😲
Hi can I lease make a video on all the gear u carry… sandals shoes jackets and all. U are out for months with just a backpack
I WONDER IF THE ROADS THERE HAVE A SPEED LIMIT. DOME OF THOSE CARS LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE HAULIN ASS THROUGH TOWN. ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE PEOPLE WALKING ALONG THE ROADWAY.
You have an obsession with Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist that dominates your conversation. Concentrate on the cultural aspects. As a secular country we find overemphasis on this a bit cringeworthy.
He is providing knowledge
Not cringeworthy at all, he is providing valuable information that many people may not know.
2:57 Was that a Go pro as well? Has lesser stability, but nice colors.
No, that was my old Olympus SP 810 UZ that I used to film most of my videos years ago.
Have you ever been to the Mumbai area of India?
I think he has
Yes, on my first trip in 1999, when I was in a Bollywood movie:

YEP....I'd pay $3.50 for a ride up the mountain anytime !! lol....Cheers!!
A small correction,it's not capital.
"Leh (/ˈleɪ/)[2] is a city in Indian-administered Ladakh in the disputed Kashmir region.[3] It is the largest city and the joint capital of Ladakh."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leh
I thought the next video was already posted 🤔
No, working on it now, will post it later today. 😊
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Thanks 😊
👏♥️🙏
62/night 😮 oh wow, why so expensive?
Sorry but FYI the natives of ladakh follow only two religions islam and Buddhism the Hindus sikhs etc aren't natives but immigrant workers from mainland speak different language and have different culture..you maybe surprised to know that there is not a single native hindu in entire ladakh although there are few dozen Christians.lol
CAME BACK ISTANBUL CABRIEL ..?
Christian monistary?
invasion of the muggles?
Mughals, different from the Muggles.
Your burning cash on hotels unbelievable how much do you spend a month o hotels u think?
That’s how Gabriel high roller traveller operates. Comfort is a priority to stay mentally and physically healthy during course of his epic adventures.

Gabriel Morris please do not put some horrible music in the background. Your videos could be interesting, informative and better. But the music is making the video bad.
These dogs are happy 1:12 . 🤎🧡🧡 They seem happy. Sleeping on the pavement in the pedestrian zone. Not a care in the world.
