hampi was a glorious town before the Islamic invaders came and destroyed it.
I love how beautiful the colors are. The houses, the clothes, the clay pots, etc. All very pleasing to see.
I love the snap shots (still frames) you catch of people, really feels surreal
Really liked the editing you did-- the slow mos, the snap shots , really enjoyable Gabe, good job!
Maaaaan I HAVE to go to India one day. Looks so incredible!
you never get bored on a bus journey in India, even if its 10 hours long. hampi is also my favourite place in India and gokarna my fave beach destination. go Gabe :)
well sounds like you havent been to: leh, amritsar or sikkim then lol
I miss India especially when it comes to travel like this...rough but exciting.
South India is beautiful - thats where i did spend 2 1/2 years and i loved it ( specially Tamil Nadu and Kerala )
I love how the intrigue goes both ways..
I liked the music incorporated with the video , thanks for posting
Great to see another longer format video Gabe! This will be a great start to my morning!
Interesting. What a different way of life eh ;) Love your video's. Thanks for sharing. Hope you're enjoying your stay.
- Jonny from Ontario
Don't Worry, Be Hampi. Very cool video Gabriel. Enjoyable editing with the stills, slow motion, music, and you speaking as well. Enjoy your journeys. Take care. Cheers.
Wow, interesting scenery.Great video as always, thanks Gabriel.Take care, stay healthy.👍🙏🏽
Gabe. the highway authorities will buy the land beside the roads and compensates the residents if the land belongs to them, which is the case mostly. or they notify and evict illegal dwellings built years back from highway sides.
I never really have met any Indians before though through your videos they seem like nice people for the most part.
The bus Gabe choose was the cheapest road option, you can choose other slightly expensive and more comfortable rides, from incline seats to full sleepers with and without AC.
Yes, very true. This was a government bus. Keep in mind that often the private/tourist buses go at night which is something I don't like to do. I took this bus because it was direct and left early in the morning, rather than driving through the night.
Nice video. Enjoyed going along for the ride.
Thank you for showcasing Karnataka to world.
Yammae, is what we call water buffaloes in Karnataka
sit in the middle or front of a bus, it's less bumpy there.
the way you capture images in a vedio is amazing, how do you do that sound n pause? By the way the whole trip is amazing. :)
Thanks. It's a pretty simple video editing thing actually, capturing an image from the video to pause it and then you add the camera shutter sound as an audio effect.
Pankaj Malik hamare pure India ka life hack!!😂😂😊💓
loved it as you said " there's nowhere like india for sure" 🙏
i love india, wish to visit.
Take care Gabriel, and happy travels!♥
This is by far one of the most amazing videos that I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. I actually FELT that I traveled with you! High quality video and those stills...mind blowing, haunting...slices of time frozen one still at a time. Everyday activities, people engaged, doing their daily business and there I am part of it all. Thank you!
:)
Awesome, thanks a lot, glad to hear it.
Awesome vid mate, safe travels 😎
Love your videos and travels man very authentic keep them coming!! What country next?
Really enjoyed seeing all those cows on the road! Fun times in India, for sure. 😎🌴
Nate & Adriana perfectly stereotyped comment. Interesting.
SmartAztec yes.
animals are free to roam , we dont eat cows , buffalos , dogs and no any stray animal popultaion controlling department are here . rest of fact agree with you india is dirty , poor .
sry for bad english , ia m nt english .
Watched the whole lot. Great taste of bus travel/adventure in India.
Cool. How was the volume, did it get too quiet or loud at times? This was a tough one to get right. I had to process the whole video a second time after making audio changes.
Its Perfect Do Download Apps Like RedBus For Online Deal Bookings& Buses Are Volvo Merc In South
The sound was perfect. I did not notice it too quiet or loud at any point and I watched it with headphones. The subtitles helped clarify things when the bus was moving. I am sure any bus trip in India will have lots of noise.
Yeah the buses are insane super fast been to south
Most of Karnataka lies on Uplands. So we can see a moderate temperature or cool climate compared to other South Indian states. But the weird thing is, they grow coconuts even in these land, which is above 3000 to 4000 ft. Where coconut is basically grows in coastal area.
Hi . Have you ever been sick in India? Do you have to be vaccinated before going there? Thank you for the virtual trip.
it's not bombed out. The government has broken all the houses that are built on government land.
I really enjoy seeing all the trash on the ground and in the water. Quite beautiful in my opinion!
That is not earth quake,they r road widening so removing all the houses.Some day u shud visit hogenekal water falls on kaveri river, Which is 150 kms towards south from Banglore . A great place.
Nice one Gabriel, I admire you. I loved all that local social interaction!
🎶 "What a looooong, strange trip it's been..." 🎶 I kept hearing "Truckin" in my head watching this. 😄 That's quite a PINK room, tho'! What a wonderful taste of India! Thanks! (BTW, that Iconntechs footage is way better than any of the GoPro stuff, IMO. It's been a great performer! Love it! Poor Olympus, though... I know. You'll get to replacement as you can. It's just interesting to really see the difference. Still, the story is great & that's the most important thing.)
Yeah too bad the Iconntechs crapped out. That's a trip that it looks even better than the GoPro. But I'll be showing much more of Hampi in coming videos, working on a new one now.
Gabriel Traveler I'm not a fan of the GoPro fisheye distortion. It really gets up my nose. So, the Iconntechs has no distortion like this, and maybe it's just a subjective thing, but I feel like the stabilization is better, too. It seems like a really solid camera for the price. I may even decide to get one. Do you have affiliate links/are you on the affiliate program with Amazon?
The stabilization is definitely better with the Iconntechs. And you can actually change the angle of the lens on it, which you can't do with the GoPro. Amazing that it's less than a third of the price. I asked them about an affiliate program but they didn't have one. It's somewhere on my do list to set one up with Amazon. So for now, just go for it, looks like they're still only $90. That camera totally improved my channel, I think it's safe to say.
Everyone is talking about 4K now, but is hard to see how you can beat 1080p / 60fps in today's environment. Great vids with that Iconntechs! From what I heard, 4K file sizes are so huge that they are hard to process on standard equipment and I don't understand how 4K gets you anything on a 1080p monitor unless you get some extra detail sampling down. I just don't understand the interest in 4K unless the manufacturers are hyping it to get you to buy new equipment.
I agree completely. This computer I'm using can't even play 1080p properly and it's brand new. The video lags relative to the audio during playback. So 4k isn't going to be watchable for most people anyway. 1080p is great quality, if it ain't broke don't fix it as they say. I don't see the point in shooting in 4k for travel vlogs, although I guess there are a select few people out there who have huge 4k tv screens that utilize it. But for me it isn't worth the bother to have to deal with those bigger files and everything.
Love these long videos 😃
How come you only made 10 hours? what was your itinerary more exactly? Which towns? Thanks!
You should buy the "Don't worry, be hempi" T-shirt!
Nice! Your videos rank among the best on TH-cam (and I am a travel vlog addict with hundreds of hours watching).
Awesome, thanks a lot. Curious, which other travelers do you follow? And I have to give some credit to India itself for being so dang unique and fascinating. I knew they would get better in India, combined with my better cameras compared to the last time I was here.
So many travel vloggers make the scene about themselves - if I want to see some creepy hipster doing the Funky Chicken up and down the Champs-Élysées, I’ll dial into the comedy channel.
I like your videos because you insert just enough of yourself to propel the narrative. I also like that you provide costs. I am on Social Security so this increases the fantasy value for me because I can say to myself: “Hell yeah, I can afford that”.
I like good production values and you obviously spend a considerable amount of time with edits and sound.
I also like quirky and sincere and real slice of life. I also like the food travel vlogs with details of the eats found. I’d rather see a guy exploring the backstreets of Siam Reap and finding a good noodle shop than some dude humping around Angkor Wat.
Here are a few of my favorites:
Mark Wiens
AV Daniel Violin (quirky)
Mikey Chen
2012escapee1
Aden Films
AlmazanKitchen
Matt Granger (International Photography)
I poke around all the time so there are probably several hundred channels I have visited more than once. Once I find one I like I’ll go through their back catalog - I think I have seen about half of yours to date and I keep up on your new ones as they are released.
Very well said Mr. Stokes. My thoughts as well.
Super cool.! BTW what's you love out of India much and what's that you don't like?
I really enjoy and appreciate your videos, Gabriel (and like the occasional "stills") - very informative. I'm about a year behind you in travels - am currently living at Lake Atitlan, Guatemala and will probably stay here through 2017 . Am considering India for 2018. Thanks and stay safe!
A couple of years ago, traveling from Delhi to Agra I was surprised by the huge number of different modes of transport. Similar to this trip. The number of times the drivers would use their vehicle horns for little reason was surprising too.
Yeah it's seriously crazy. Whatever will get people around.
Mr Gabriel ...if u have time i would recommend u to visit the 7 sister states of india especially meghalaya + sikkim. ....but i am not sure about if it is the right season.
check it out..bye the way i love ur video...this whole week i have been watching ur trip to eu ...
Cool, thanks. Yeah I'd love to visit that part of India at some point, especially Sikkim and Darjeeling but also the northeast. Now is probably okay for the northeast part but not Darjeeling and Sikkim because they're in the Himalayas, too cold.
visit mysore in karnataka also otty do visit sikkim or dalai lamas McLeodganj, also called Upper Dharamsala in Himachal
There was no earthquake or bombing. They broke the constructions for making way for highways expansion. This is happening throughout India. The country, huge as it is, in the midst of a massive infrastructural transformation. Ten years from now the country will be changed forever.
Great still images from a moving bus.
Good day Gabriel, nice video. :) , curious to know which camera you used to record the video as it looks real good.
Glad to hear it David. For future reference, whichever cameras I use are always stated in the info section below the video, since I have three cameras right now and use different ones for different videos. So for this video I mostly used my Iconntechs camera. Then all three of my batteries for that ran out and I was going to switch to my GoPro but it turned out it wasn't charged up at all. Too bad, because the ending part would have looked way better. So instead I finished filming the video with my old Olympus (there's a subtitle in the video mentioning when I started using it).
Those houses were demolished for widening the Road ,.. from single/double lane road to 4-6 lane roads.. sooner you will see wider roads... For 3-4 years this part of the world did't have enough rains,... this years most parts had rain.. you should visit these places now, this time of the year.. it will be greener much greener...& pleasant..
Cool one, Gabe.......gr8 shots from vehicles......made my sunday...:-)
Sweet.
cant wait for tomorrow :)
Are you still traveling in India since last 2 years or you have came back to India again? Because I have seen your Indian video many days before.
I'm now back in the U.S. I was in India for six weeks that trip. But that was my 7th time to India, so I have a lot of videos of India from previous times that I was there.
OK. I have been following your videos since long time. Not regularly but randomly.
Most interesting journey! Thx.
ur amazing man!! u lov to travel best thing in life and u give great infos thanks!!
Thanks a lot Wayne.
had to make a video about bangalore also to show how India really looks like, looking forward for it n u have done nice work 👍
at the end of the video you are entering a restaurant by putting off your shoes. Question: isn't this dangerous in means of risk of a theft? This would be interesting for me to know, so I can compare India e.g with Morocco, where leaving the (good quality) shoes in front of a mosque during prayer is not adviced. Thanks!
Yes, it's a risk. I actually got my sandals stolen in Hampi the last time I was there four years ago while visiting the Hanuman temple. So pissed, I'd just bought them the day before in Hampi and really liked them and when I went back to the same store to buy another pair, they didn't have the same ones. I think that's the only time that happened. So it's not a bad idea to decide to take them with you, just depends on what you feel like. I think I just figure it's unlikely and if it happens, then I buy another pair so maybe it's better than worrying too much about it.
Nice video, i have Travelled in india but only in the north. i wish i'd had a video camera
welcome to india my friend
This is the real deal -India!!
I'm visiting Hampi next week.Now its monsoon. Never visited Hampi when its Raining. Can't wait for it :)
Great, enjoy. At least it will be cooler. It was so hot when I was there.
Hey Gabe,nice video man.by the way, which camera are you using for vlogging?
Cameras are always in the info section, you just have to scroll down a little bit. :)
hey loved ur videos especially from goa tour ur always welcomed in india well r u alone doing this tour and making videos on ur own...
This is crazy! I was staying @ Hampi too for a couple of days! Wish i could have bumped into you :) Have been subbed to you for years now!
Cool, you were here recently? I've been in Hampi about 9 days now. Funny thing is this is the place where I've gotten recognized the most in my travels, it's happened three times already. Had nice conversations with everyone and went out to dinner with a group of four Indians who had seen my videos before their trip here. Pretty cool.
Gabriel Traveler That's amazing! Yes, I just returned to Mumbai from my mini vacation in Hampi. I am a full time blogger so I travel in collaboration with brands. So was in Hampi for the same. Do you plan to visit Mumbai?
I see, very cool. I won't be making it to Mumbai this trip, I'm flying out of Bangalore in a couple weeks back to the United States.
If u ever get time than visit manglore,dharmasthala shri manjunatha tempel its a nice place
looks like you feel at Home in India :-)
brother you are real traveller ..I love your video...I asked you before to visit north east i would consider you again to visit arunachal pradesh
Do you fly straight into India from the U.S. or from a different an neighboring country? I'm planning to hop over to India from Thailand in May 2018.
I flew from Paris. I was traveling in Europe before I went to India.
Excellent job, Must say in the "Top Ten List" Thanks MB.............I'm spreading the word
Curious whats your favoirte place you have been to in all the years of your travels and why?
the top of the bus with the luggage is where it's at bro.
Yeah I did that once in India. Fun times.
Nice vlog.. Good that the bus wasnt crowded. You should check out Ganpatipule or Ratnagiri, Vengurla n malwan; if possible by a bike. The roads are along the arabian sea. Great for photography. Also have few spiritual places. Accomodation is affordable. And a lot of spots where can feel very peaceful even with many people around. Message me if you need any info on getting there; that is if you are in India now.
Hey Bro.. Is this video filmed and posted during Feb??
Correct.
had a look at my hometown Sirsi in your video
Really? Very cool!
yea.. it was refreshing! ... i have been away from home in a different country for a 2 years ..now.so. And Gabriel .. you really got have very positive vibe across all your videos and love the details in the video.. also narration is awesome. ! you are living my dream currently. :D good luck
hi bro what kind of camera do you use sorry about my bad leangage keep going dud
This was mostly filmed with my Iconntechs camera, then at the end with my Olympus. See the info section for the full names.
I thought I got lots of stares when I travel. I think you got me beat. LOL
yea bro In india staring at someone is not exactly perceived as being rude. me being indian also get lot of stares for no reason lol so i can only imagine about foreigners like you
Is it safe to drink lassie's since there is ice in it?
Usually they don't have ice in them. If there is ice, you're definitely taking a bit of a chance. But I've had them anyway and things worked out okay. You never know 100% whether food is safe in India, or elsewhere for that matter. Luckily I've managed to not get food poisoning in all of my travels.
They are widening the road, hence those buildings were demolished
Thanks.
looks like my country, brazil...except people..it's all the same...mess, dirt, crazy traffic, religiosity...
Where do you get the nice music for this?
Fun ride :)
Will you ever go back to Reykjavik in Iceland ?
Totally. When I can afford it. I'd like to do a camping road trip or bicycle trip around the island, something like that. Definitely interested in seeing more of Iceland beyond Reykjavik.
EXCELLENT film-making .... i dunno what the actual attraction is to Hampi ..... -but i think my travels to India would be
to Benares on Ganges ... -close enough to Himalayas and tiger preserve ......
I'm from north Canada...the coldest climate .....- and i haven't seen a winter now...for 5 years .......
Varanasi ...will give me and girlfreind a full dose of India .......
Gabe !..... HAVE YOU BEEN TO CEYLON?
thx: CS
Thanks a lot. Nope, haven't been to Sri Lanka yet.
nooo.....Bombay, Madras, Benares, Ceylon...... [ what will they call them next week?]
Loved it! :-)
Thanks Hans. This way you got to see the views you missed on the sleeper bus eh?
Hey congrats on passing 100 subscribers, that was fast.
Thank you, would not have been so fast without all your shoutouts and promotions Gabe, thanks again!
Any problems with dysentery?
Nope, never had that myself.
8:30 that man is strong! lol
Ms Babe lol. You didn't disappoint me 😁
It looked bombed out, because these properties were built on the road. so the road authorities bulldozed the encroachments. Its a good thing.
Nice ride... Pimple on your nose? 😆😄😘❤
Not bombed out! Its for road expansion
Thanks.
Gabriel SAY something
abt india
Y u silent
no guest houses for me thank you, i ll sleep in my 4WD.
and in the cities in at least 4 star hotels, i cant concentrate in the slums
Appreciate the time and trouble you took to make all this to TH-cam
I can't lie, India looks like a place I wouldn't want to visit. It seems hot, dirty, overpopulated and pungent! I respect your bravery and curiosity, but I'll just travel there through your lens. Peace and love!
toddms41 Visit himalayan states and you wont regret ;)
India would be much more prettier if people understood the meaning of littering
The Govt broke the roadside houses for make the roads broader. Everywhere in India road expansion is done that way. Not bombed out man :)
Good to know, thanks.
Dibakar Chakraborty and they are given monetary compensation for that.....
Those cows in the middle of the road are really good drivers. They go straigh and don' t hit cars. They most be better than women because there seems to be no women driving anything in India. Women who don, t drive are not good in bed.....
Prices don' t go up, its only busy season. Of course, its a hot spring break destination !!
women in rural india don't drive vehicle by own...( expect Students and working women).
Hi ...dear Gabriel ..
..m indian gay guy 30 years old, I'm fan of you..wann meet you once
Seems u have a fixation for the sewers :D
And cows
:D
Did you see any king cobras
Never seen one in the wild, just with snake charmers.
Gabriel Traveler have you seen any snake charmers during your travel
love how u got yourself into a small predicament on the bus...
Co-passenger : "is it costly?"
You: "no its actually cheap...$100...around 7000 rupees (shit just realized I'm in india, let me course correct)...its cheap for a camera"
that copassenger was expecting much more...and he said its just 7000.... indian expect this price only when something is 'made in china' product..... interesting vlog.
No disrespect to India, but they just don't see all the garbage around them... everywhere it seems. Thanks for posting , very interesting, safe travels.
Fancy BobbyBob we are still in dark ages in some places in India. Hope ppl will learn soon.
There are good AC coaches available
True. But usually the a/c tourist buses go during the night and I prefer traveling during the day so that I can see the countryside (and make videos). Also this one was cheap and direct. We didn't need a/c, it wasn't that hot out.
