This is the thumb of rule for Himalayan Trips in South Asia Gabe : *Summers : Mid april to May : Hazy weather due to forest fires. A lot of Snow above 3600-4000m. Monsoon : Good air quality , cloudy weather with dangerous landslide prone roads. Post Monsoon Autumn season : Clear blue skies ,good air quality , amazing crystal clear views of peaks that are 100 odd km away. Winters : Good Air quality ,blue skies , crystal clear views but snow at lower altitudes and the roads might be blocked as well. Last time around you came to the Indian Himalayas in May as well. Hopefully you will come to India in Autumn sometime,that and early march would be the best time to visit.
The last time I did this same route was in December, which is a good time if you can stand the cold nights: th-cam.com/video/gczb0i-1NwY/w-d-xo.html But it sounds like earlier in the fall is better.
@@Stephen-ob3ij October is best for views , but it's very dangerous, even more dangerous than winter . i went to mussoorie in October, and views were super nice. but landslides are more frequent during monsoons. so i would not advice October. November is best .
@@bastlwastl497 it has it's advantages like , cheap hotels but comes with a risk. and i would not suggest you. please go in November. last year i saw a video of a place where i was staying earlier was hit by landslide. it's not worth risk. avoid monsoon. either November or later half of October would be best
A blessed good day sir Gabe Wowww another Epic adventure in India Bus trip going to Himalayas thanks for your wonderful trip Godbless u from the Philippines sir vhin 🇵🇭👏🙏🙂
Sucks there is tons of smoke blocking the view. Happened to me last summer when i went to Banff, first few days so Smokey, thankfully it rained hard and helped clear the skies. These India videos are awesome, hoping to see some mountain hikes.
I'm late, as always! I can't watch your videos until well into the evening, but then I can tune out everything else, relax and enjoy. I appreciate your India series so much, you seem happy and revived in this beautiful country. Thanks Gabriel 🌸
I have been watching you years Gabriel and i have never seen any TH-camrs travel real life as good as you do. Your Videos will be TH-cam classics someday. Awesome job.
alp , yeah and he usually plays good music in his vids . I like the way he is so down-to-earth and none of the phoniness that people do in a number of the travel vids . Many of them I can't watch because the people and the music are irritating .
This a a brilliant series of vids Gabriel, I’m loving every one, I follow many vloggers and I scroll down to Gabriel once home from work to see if you have posted, and I am buzzing if you have, loving the series, thanks from Mark in England 🙏👍
Gabriel, I envy you. Such a free spirit, just wandering around the corners of India that even many Indians don't know of. And here I am, an Indian in USA sitting at my desk trying to "work from home". I wish I was in India traveling to these places.
That’s because you’ve been programmed into western culture. Get your stuff together, move back home and I’ll assure you that you’ll live a much happier-simplistic lifestyle
You don't know where you're going to end up, you don't know where you're going to stay when you get there...i just love it...that's got to be close to a definition of freedom, but i guess it can also be a recipe for a nightmare sometimes...but hats off to you, im full of admiration
Hey i really love the way you explain things while visiting the different places. As you are now exploring himalayas in Uttarakhand state I would strongly recommend you to visit Kedarnath. Its a abode of lord Shiva and a difficult track to the glacier. The temple has just opened for this season. You will definitely gonna enjoy
I'm thinking of going there. Online it says the temple opens on May 6th. Do you know if I can still see the temple from the outside even if it isn't officially open yet?
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Would love to see you do a colab with Praveen Mohan while you're in India. Tour of a mysterious temple. Great way to also grow both your channels. Wishing you safe travels wherever you go!
Dude, you are the man. I am thoroughly enjoying watching your adventures from Pensacola, FL. I lived homeless for 10 years and had quite a few adventures in Pensacola, Panama City Beach, Tallahassee and such in the early 2000's and have been settled in Pensacola, FL for the last 10 years and now live at an elderly lady's house on the bayou but you are my entertainment away from the world news and IRC chat on civil_debate. Keep on trucking.
another brilliant video. brings back so many good memories of traveling through the himalayas. I keep thinking well it is fine to travel like this when you are young, then i realise you are older than me! great stuff!!

I used to ride on the top of the buses when I was in those parts. Awesome view. Safer in case the bus crashed into the valley below which does happen. Great times. Would love to be back there now.
Another awesome video, was checking TH-cam twice a day waiting for your next video - even my 1 year old son loves you videos :). Stay safe and keep uploading!!!
Great coverage Gabriel... It's neat that you share your ad hoc travel decisions and such. Over time your videography skills seem to be getting better and better. At the top of your game in fortune and fame... A cyber road bum in the finest tradition of which you are pioneering. Safe and fun travels to you Gabriel.
Munsiyari is a great place for viewing the Panchachuli peaks . while returning u can do a halt at the govt guest house cottages in Chaukori for some great views of the multiple seven thousander peaks , weather permitting.
hi Gabriel, Even in the foothills the weather is still hot at 90 degrees the pictures you showed were quite a contrast from the foothills to the snow-covered Himalayas, and those mountains look massive. You don't know if that's humans encroaching on the land by burning it or a natural disaster. It's interesting to find such towns up in the mountains there seems to be such an expansion of humans leaving crowed cities to go into the much cooler cities in the mountains.
The haze is reminiscent of the fires a couple years back in Oregon. And the persistent smoke aroma for several days. Really love this trip to India esp. Varanasi. Mind blowing.
Hey Gabriel! Nice! I am based in Delhi and have covered all of UK past 12 years.. if you are into mountain viewing.. go to Chaukori, the best view ever on a clear day.. gotta be lucky in april may.. works awesome during October and November... and from there get to Munsiyari, you would love that place just 20 KMs across panch chuli peaks! this part of UK is a hidden gem whole of south asia. :)
GABE you're an EPIC off the beaten path traveler. I'm into minute six and getting so many tips from you indirectly for my trip through the Himalayas next year. Definitely wanna avoid the sardine can jeep ride experience. Another great tip is that it's better for me as an online English Language teacher to just book two or three nights through Airbnb, Booking or OYO as I can't really trust what some dudes say regarding their internet speed. I need to have a strong reliable connection so I can continue to work a d make money. No money 💰💲🤑, no honey 🍯. For me that means if I can't work and make the dough 💰 I need, I can't enjoy my trip. GABE you're one of the best bhai. Keep doing your best bud 😎👍🏻.
Lol, I don’t think I could do that. Busses give some sort of privacy at least. Indian Himalayas is probably on the top of my travel list RN. Such a cool place and thanks for sharing all this. 🙏
The true value to travel is to explore what's not been much explored yet and that's why I love your videos, I've been to almost all the places you visited and yet with your journey video it still feels like visiting a new place altogether. Keep more of such videos coming. India is the greatest country to be at, with so much variations in culture, food and languages yet we are simple people with simple options.
Rishikesh is no where near what you would get in Munsiyari. Rishikesh is just a hyped up place, you should definately visit Munsiyari. These forest fires happen each year need not worry about that. I have been to Munsiyari once, it would be a life changing experience for you. Do consider my suggestion. All the best bro 👍
*** Gabriel, you seem to have the knack of cramming a TON into each of your days. You also have a knack for finding great places to stay overnights, as well! And, no bedbugs! How does THAT happen? Also ... *** I am curious to know (if the following are not too personal): What time of day do you awaken, usually, and what time of night do you usually retire? You are admirably thin. I'm guessing you can live on not much sleep? *** You do eat very well, I must say! I love seeing pics of what folks eat. Not sure just why I do, but I do.
yes it even made the headlines here in the states theres a huge dome of heat and humidity hanging over india much like occurs in calif and that accounts for the tremendous heat you encountered and poor visibility
Thank you for your always fascinating vlogs of interesting places in our world. I like how you Show where you stay, what you are having to eat and who you are meeting. Thank you for showing things as you see them out the many windows on your journey. They are all the best places because they are real. Looking forward to whatever is next!
Next time you are in cars like this just reserve 2 seats for yourself in the back so that you don't have to share. The journey will be much more smoother. If 2 of us are traveling anywhere via auto rickshaw we pay for 3 back seats. It's not expensive but much more comfy..
I was just thinking that Himalayan bus journeys are a thing that you never realize that you need to experience until you do. I'm so excited to see more from the Indian Himalayas!!
Sadly, things are not looking great due to the thick smoke from the fires. But it rained a little this evening so I'm hopeful that the air will be clearer tomorrow, fingers crossed. 🤞 It would be a shame to come all this way and not be able to see the mountains.
Hey Gabriel I am a big fan of your channel. I recently subscribed but I have been watching for some time. Thanks for taking me all over the world. I noticed that you have been to Antigua. Next time you are in the Caribbean you should visit Dominica, the Commonwealth of Dominica. Safe travels.
Hi Gabe.....soooo cool as always...it would so helpful if you dedicate a video to transportations thru the Himalayas....how do you get around especially as you go higher and deeper into them.....you are inspiring!!!! :) THANKYOU
You are still in foot hills of Himalayas, the more you go towards himachal Pradesh you will get great view, himachal Pradesh is gonne be epic if you there?
Haze is due to the smoke, the dust and the pollution. You could have plan your trip for the Himalayas after the monsoon season is over when dust and pollution settled down, you get more cleaner, greener and scenic view of the mountains between Sep and Nov.
I was able to see 200+ km wide range of Himalayas from Almora in Dec. From Ranikhet also one can view from Chaukhamba peak in Garhwal to Panchachuli in Eastern Kumaon.
At 15.24 it looks like a picture of Ram Dass's Guru ( Neem Karoli??) attached above the windshield of the Bus. I'm sure the driver needs all the help he can get. Great music with the video. You are one tough man dealing with crowds,noise and chaos.
I've heard on the news yesterday here in New York City that there is a big fire on a landfill somewhere in India, which apparently is very common and is making people sick.
Gabriel you have wisely choose northern mountains of India in these months otherwise in planes the heat is so terrible and schorching, you saved yourself from horrible experience 😀
Munshiyari is must go for trekking and scenic beauty, but take a halt in chakauri and try to see patal buvneshwari cave. Also would recommend pindari glacier on the kapkot route.
Glad you are showing all that boarding buses (Ticket purchase) and sharing rides, you can tell they can hire personal vehicle too if it is available, I am sure it is available. This is good, let them how things work in interior places in public transportation, not everything needs to be unpleasant or super pleasant, somethings are unpleasant for the local people too but things are improving and it will continue to improve though not a rapid pace.
Hi Gabriel, If you are going to Munsiyari. Please hike upto Khaliya Top, You can see beautiful mountains from there. From Munsiyari. Please trek to Milam Valley. Milam Trek is a legacy trail which was used to trek to Tibet. It's a Three Day Trek. Lots of Tea Houses and Huts on the way to Milam Village. Must Stay at Martoli Village. Martoli Village is the most beautiful village. From there you can see East side of Nanda Devi Mountain.
India has just opened for tourism after a hiatus of two years, and this is off-season for tourism in India. Before the pandemic struck 18 million tourists had come to India(in 2019).
Hi bro. is good to know that you are back in Himalayas one of the most amazing and my favourite place on this planet. I like all your videos and really enjoyed it. I wish you all the best for your journey. ❤
:D loved the way you showed changed seats and buses. I miss these bus ride here in SanDiego but will be visiting india in june. Love for Gabriel from India & California :). It always refreshing watching india places through outsider eyes
These are lower himalayas. Try Auli, Sissu, Spiti & Ladakh. Though they are all in a different state from where u are though (other than Auli). U may try the Kedarnath Trek as well.
it is easy to travel in india and especially the hills as road connectivity is good and people r generally kind and helpful. Hop on a bus to either rudraprayag or srinagar and than you r very close to kedarnath. Enjoyy.

Those were the days. Riding on the roof doesn't seem to be as much of a thing anymore.
dave , scary to know that's a fairly common thing for buses to crash down into the valleys ?
Awesome bus trip Gabriel 😃😎☀️ can't wait for more of the Himalayas! ❤
10:24 "Oh my Tourist! eating diner!" The look on his face. Excellent video Gab. Thx!
Hello Gabriel sir
Do you know Himalaya is Sanskrit word

Wow what a Journey to Himalaya Gabriel 👍 😀

Rishikesh isn't too pretty to look but people go there for spritual reasons mostly, not for landscapes.
So true.Rishikesh is awful these days.The journey from Bageshwar to Munsiyari is beautiful

*** Gabriel, you seem to have the knack of cramming a TON into each of your days.
You also have a knack for finding great places to stay overnights, as well!
And, no bedbugs! How does THAT happen?
Also ...
*** I am curious to know (if the following are not too personal): What time of day do you awaken, usually, and what time of night do you usually retire?
You are admirably thin. I'm guessing you can live on not much sleep?

I love seeing pics of what folks eat.
Not sure just why I do, but I do.
yes it even made the headlines here in the states theres a huge dome of heat and humidity hanging over india much like occurs in calif and that accounts for the tremendous heat you encountered and poor visibility
That is what happened to me when I went to the Himalayas, and Zermatt in Switzerland . Could not see the
Mountains , completely hidden.
Raniket is the near by town where cave of mahavatar babaji is situated...mentioned in "autobiography of a yogi".
You may visit Chaukori from Bageshwar. A small scenic town
Thank you for your always fascinating vlogs of interesting places in our world. I like how you

A Uttarakhandi song - Almora Angrej ayo taxi mein ( A foreigner came Almora in Taxi ) - hence proved 🤣❣️
Love the pictures of Neem Karoli Baba on the bus and jeep window
Hi Gabe.....soooo cool as always...it would so helpful if you dedicate a video to transportations thru the Himalayas....how do you get around especially as you go higher and deeper into them.....you are inspiring!!!! :) THANKYOU

You should go to phitoragarh, Dharchula and then Gunji to visit Om parvat.....
I've heard on the news yesterday here in New York City that there is a big fire on a landfill somewhere in India, which apparently is very common and is making people sick.
That was not that common a hundred years ago.
Really enjoying this series Gabe

Munshiyari is must go for trekking and scenic beauty, but take a halt in chakauri and try to see patal buvneshwari cave. Also would recommend pindari glacier on the kapkot route.
Great stuff Gabriel! Thank you!
Pro tip: if you pay 50-100/- extra shared taxi drivers will always give front seat.
love from pensacola, fl
The summer haze is the problem, you'd have to get very close , maybe on route to the pindari glacier before you could see the mountains.
Love your style of v-logging👌👌
You know vlog in the North Eastern part of India too .
By the way great vlog .

Glad you are showing all that boarding buses (Ticket purchase) and sharing rides, you can tell they can hire personal vehicle too if it is available, I am sure it is available. This is good, let them how things work in interior places in public transportation, not everything needs to be unpleasant or super pleasant, somethings are unpleasant for the local people too but things are improving and it will continue to improve though not a rapid pace.
thanks for exploring India again
Hi Gabriel, If you are going to Munsiyari. Please hike upto Khaliya Top, You can see beautiful mountains from there.
From Munsiyari. Please trek to Milam Valley. Milam Trek is a legacy trail which was used to trek to Tibet. It's a Three Day Trek. Lots of Tea Houses and Huts on the way to Milam Village. Must Stay at Martoli Village. Martoli Village is the most beautiful village. From there you can see East side of Nanda Devi Mountain.
I’ve been watching all of your India videos and I haven’t seen a single tourist. It’s crazy 😜
India has just opened for tourism after a hiatus of two years, and this is off-season for tourism in India.
Before the pandemic struck 18 million tourists had come to India(in 2019).
tough times currently due to the covid situation and all . hopefully things will get better as the year progresses
Hi bro. is good to know that you are back in Himalayas one of the most amazing and my favourite place on this planet. I like all your videos and really enjoyed it. I wish you all the best for your journey. ❤
:D loved the way you showed changed seats and buses. I miss these bus ride here in SanDiego but will be visiting india in june. Love for Gabriel from India & California :). It always refreshing watching india places through outsider eyes
Mahindra cars and jeeps are rugged, torquey, abuse friendly and fuel efficient. That’s why very popular in Himalayan towns and villages.
Which is better (and which do you prefer), Mahindra or Tata? (serious question, I'm not Indian so I'm curious)
@@kitty_s23456 Mahindra cars and jeeps. Tata for trucks.
@@CharlieChaplinVideos thanks for the info. Good to know.
Currently tata is number 3 in passenger car.
That's a really nice hotel room maybe stay there two nights if needed.
i remember being on these busses to nepal from rishikesh😂so crazy. got food poisoning too
These are lower himalayas.
Try Auli, Sissu, Spiti & Ladakh. Though they are all in a different state from where u are though (other than Auli). U may try the Kedarnath Trek as well.
Beautiful Historical Place
it is easy to travel in india and especially the hills as road connectivity is good and people r generally kind and helpful. Hop on a bus to either rudraprayag or srinagar and than you r very close to kedarnath. Enjoyy.
Great video & adventure.
