I love when Gab is going through a dead end and he goes like "ay ya yay yay" 😊
that's a classic Gabriel Traveler moment there.
Best intro ever! Thanks Gabe!🧡🐐
I am amazed by the varied mixture of goods,the ubiquitous cows ,dogs and goats especially along the fortess walls.A wonderful symbiosis!The architecture is really magnificent.Thank you for sharing,Gabriel!
I am sure non of the video games can beat navigating thru Indian alleys and roads ... 🤩
That fort is impressive. It’s a maze. A very successful fort. It’s still standing.
No one films street life as well as you do, Gabe. I can't wait to be in India - leaving in two days' time and arriving on Monday morning.
Best wishes to you mate, I hope you will enjoy your time here
To be fair he just holds a camera in his hand and walks around, which you, me or anyone could do just as well. There's no special techniques or cinematography that he displays in these videos at all.
Welcome to 🇮🇳 hope you have a great time.
Have fun. You should have a blast. Been there twice in the last 2 years.
Been there last february, to Rajasthan and Agra! It was amazing, enjoy!
OMG what a place. Complete sensory overload. The goat clip at the beginning was hilarious 😆😂
Loved it! 🥰
*More like the Gabriel Traveler Experience!*
I miss the Internet cafe days, was such a seen in India back in 2005, it was how to meet other travelers too
Ha ha things are sure different now
0:05 Whenever I see a goat I always think back to the video when this happened to you🤣
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...
I love how the cows are just chillin in the middle of the street 😂
In India and Pakistan they are considered sacred
@@DeputyDog-mh1yo not in Pakistan because it is considered sacred animal in Hinduism.
@@malharaher904 Then I must visit Pakistan to we enjoy delicious cow.
India is just a feast for ones senses. I can't wait to experience it this winter, hopefully.
Excellent, I hope you get the chance.
Love the intro. I miss your "lightsaber" camera .
Yes, that was so amazing.
Gabriel, you’re a legend 👍.Many thanks for all your amazing travel vlogs.We never miss any of your videos and often watch the same video many times on repeat as they’re all so interesting.The stunning footages, beautiful music, street life, ancient architectural buildings etc are all eye opening and breathtaking.Take care, enjoy your travel adventures and thanks again for all your awesome videos.
Good morning from Arizona
😁😁😁😁 funny opening
Gabriel, following you while I’m doing 9 weeks in Bangkok, Cambodia and Pattaya. Lots of downtime in the evening. Can’t wait to get home and see Jaisalmer on the big screen. Don’t really want to go there but lovin the videos.
Sir, this is Jay from Alabama. Always love your vlogs. Just a suggestion....we dont mind you having long conversations with locals while making vlogs but just edit it and display for few. seconds, not more than 5 seconds. It not only irritates but also spoil the rhythm of the view..
Thanks and continue the great work.
the fort itself could take a few hours to look at slowly
Several days it will take. There is a city in it with temples.
The haveli you passed was beautiful! Amazing 16 years ago and what our mind holds onto or not. I was in India the first time in 2014 I travelled alone. Just amazing, Loved the goat play! :)
Gabriel, great perspective on streets in the area.
One thing I need to ask is why you do not use Google translate to communicate more easily? Asking questions and not getting ansrs would kill me!
keep her moving gabe! Watch you every morning brother
India the Mother of Wood Sone Architecture! Amazing Lovely Full of Color.Confusing Alleys! Thanks!
Funny how tuk tuks in India look like funfair bumping cars 😃. Handy in the hectic city center !
Getting lost in Jaisalmer on the way to the hill top. 😎😎👍👍
Omg i have never seen that many animals at once in India 🤣 cows like dogs sitting in the streets watching everything, so wild this place , cute playful goat at the begining 😁 he just wanted to play lol
never seen goat that aggressive. maybe it thought Gab is the butcher.
Probably yes!😁
It's a male goat 😄
With butchers they don't fight, rather they try to resist by digging in their feet... It's very sad and painful to watch.😢
I talk to my son on Discord and if I see the grey offline indicator on for a few days, I get worried too. I understand how your dad felt when you are in an opposite time zone, you look for small signs of life.
Gabriel VS THE GOAT
He was the GOAT of goats. Hopefully he calmed down after a decade and is now married with children, and not goat stew.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Ha ha love that good fun, be safe , don't eat the GOAT please
Great video! India is truly one of a kind. Thank you for sharing!
yes indeed India is one of a kind but not for everyone, i mean you will either dont like it or just love it.
@@wickhamme Very true! We love it. I think for people who go with an open mind and can embrace the chaos, it is an amazing place to visit.
That run for your life, though. Such a raw and fun part of this video. Navigating Jaisalmer is like being part of a living fairy tale - one where the palaces have more history than a library, and the only genie you're likely to find is the one granting wishes for more chai.
The goats and cows in the street adds rawness to Jaisalmer!
Gabe's head on a swivel looking for kamikaze goats
Exactly. I know they're out there, hiding in the shadows, stalking me.
That huge cow sitting on the road with its legs stretched out, nerve wrecking watching motorcycles going around it, looked like they are going to run over its legs.😮
Like dogs lol
Surprised you went up to Himalays and didn't consider Chandrashila trek. 3-6 days long trek starting from RIshikesh.
Such a cool area. I was hoping you would find the Haveli you stayed at before. Once again, I reached the end of the video all too soon. :p
Great Coverage of locals life & Classical India. Also Dad's are Dad, Always concerned. Great work.
Yes yes !!
Great video Gabe thank you for all you do
Gabe i really like your vedio content I give u like 👍 i enjoyed watching it .
😊well, plan b always saves the day, apparently !☺✌
21:42 feeling guilty for not giving him some rupees.. that's okay! They get enough subsidy from central govt now. free rice, oil, pulses and sugar/salt every month and state & central govt combined monetary benefit minimum of 3000/- directly into the bank account.
This could happen to you one day!
Surprisingly there are few cow pies in the street for the number of cows.
nice video
Imagine living there next to the road...honk honk 24hours long. Also the people on the ground selling vegtebles with motorcycles/scooters passing by must be so unhealty for the vegtebles and people. I wonder if it will change in let's say 20 years from now with electric motorcycles/scooters. It's not a easy change in a country like India/ so many people needfs a lot of electricity.
PD best moment! Aiaiaiaiai....Plan B hahaha!
The calmest are the animals just chilling around not care in the 🌎. Well except Gabriel’s #1 fan goat.😂
There are fruit and veg besides other groceries sold in the open by the road (including the farmer’s market)in the UK and elsewhere.
Also, there are residential homes above shops by the busy roads with 24/7 traffic in the UK.
At least, those veg are not contaminated by chemical preservatives, gmo and such.
Looks really nice like a movie set. Only thing is its hazardous to walk, need 360 deg vision at the same time eyes looking down for ditches, holes in the road, motorcycles, autos, cows, goats, dogs. How are you vlogging with all hazards.
Exactly.
Thank you bringing back my own memories from Jaisalmer. I was there last week, the views from the fort are great. I found a restaurant called "Little Tibet" with a rooftop view all to myself. They sold momos and thukpa soup which were really good too.
Superb
amazing place never heard of...
thank you Gabe for sharing...
GABE YOUR LIFE !!!!! AMAZING !!!! TY FOR TAKING ME ALONG WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!
@ 27:15
Future funny. 🤣
Go to dessert main areas
Dodge City, Kansas? 🤔
👍👍👍
Noise is horrendous, people so friendly, colours are amazing.....architecture jaw dropping, total sensory overload....India, nothing like it.....
haha Noise is a major problem for all of us but everything else compensates for it 😅
It looked like a movie set made for a time period when maharajas were ruling.
nice
no bangh lassi?
If My mother didn’t hear from me in a few hours when I’m traveling, she’ll be worried
My old mamories. Jaisalmer. 2008 to. 2010. Serivce. This place😂😂😂
"Lucky 13th".....
Gabe - Enjoying this series greatly! A question about India generally based upon your two years there: If you were making a 'where-to-go' recommendation to a first time visitor to India who has no more than 12 days to spend, what do you suggest? I know the typical first visit is often Delhi, Agra and Jaipur but would you recommend something else? I know in the past you have said you don't love the 'mega cities' so would Delhi and/or Mumbai even be on your list. Thanks.
I would recommend Delhi, Agra, Orchha, Haridwar and Rishikesh. Forget Jaipur. Only spend 2-3 nights in Delhi and 2 nights max in Agra or maybe just visit for the day. Orchha, Rishikesh and Haridwar will give you the smaller town experience. Plan to spend the most amount of time in Rishikesh, 3-5 days. If you look on a map they're all in line. Problem is if you fly into Delhi you have to go down to Orchha and then get back up to Rishikesh and then back down to Delhi to catch your flight out. But it will be worth it. You might also consider Khajuraho, near Orchha. Perhaps skip either Rishikesh or Orchha so you don't have to retrace your steps, but definitely try to go to at least one.
Gabriel - Thank you for your answer and being so quick. If any other frequent India visitors who are watching Gabe's videos have any thoughts on where to send the first-time visitor, would love to hear it. Thanks in advance.@@GabrielTravelerVideos
@@stevenlapidus2902 Hampi is my favourite place in India but it's in the southern state of Karnataka. It was the capital of the Vijayanagara empire (from 12the to 16th century I think) and was supposedly the largest/most developed city in the world at the time. It's like an open air museum spread over several kilometers, full of ruins from that time. You'll have to take a flight to Bangalore and then a train/bus to Hampi. Since you have only 12 days, it would be better to explore one region in India, say the north. Gabriel has several videos on Hampi which you might want to check.
Delhi to Gwalior, Khajuraho, Orchha, and Jhansi route is very popular among foreigners visiting India and it is very interesting and beautiful.
But one should visit in winter or it gets very hot there. In summer, it's better to visit somewhere in the hills like Shimla, Manali, Palampur.
Mostly though, one should first decide what one would like to see... mountain area, rocky plateau area, ancient ruins, temples, beaches, wildlife, adventure...
Surprised you're not using the traditional maps from before to navigate in case you're lost. Especially if people don't understand where you want to go. I also understand you have to use your camera in one hand and that doesn't make it easier.
You mean a paper map of the city? I can't imagine where you would find one in India. Not necessary anyway, you can't really get that lost and if you do, you just find the next rickshaw and ask them to take you back to your hotel. ✌️
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Yes, a paper map makes it a always a bit nostalgic but I get your point. Also not convenient in your case as a world traveler to take everywhere a paper map. You would carry an extra luggage. Sorry being a bit of an old school guy.
No worries. ✌
What is your vlogging camera 📸 name.😮 I'm want buy this camera 📸
DJI Osmo Action, there's a link below the video, I recommend it.
Enjoying your vids in India 🇮🇳
Goat gave up so soon. What a Pss..
In your last video u said 40 rs for room was a trap to sale camel safari?
Yes, but not a bad trap. The camel safari was a decent deal and I spent another week in the room afterwards at the same rate.
Omelette with jam? 🙈
Cheese omelet, pancake with jam.
600 INR is expensive.. Haha in big cities no decent places beoow USD 150
Why is Jaisalmer so filthy, even for India? Garbage on the streets, overflowing open drains, littering everywhere (even inside the fort). There is so much potential in this place and I want to go there but the filth everywhere will mean that exploring will be a headache, not fun.
😊😊😊❤🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦
India is distracting - imagine! 😂
Women’s traditional dress is gorgeous - especially in Rajasthan. So tragic what they endure. I hope you will find that lady by the store that supports them and if not buy something, then share it with us so we can support them. I buy deodorant from a similar business. It smells like incense. Soooo nice!
He also needs to go back to the funky shirt shop!
There are plenty of Rajasthan based online stores that come up with the same story, you just have to do a search to look for them so you can easily support them that way if you really want to.
Pretty much the oldest trick in the street vendor book - "buy my stuff because of xyz sad story". I'd be very wary of stuff like that.
@@ethanwillis6970yes, and the trick works particularly well on foreigners 😄
A tourist helps them simply by coming and staying and spending money. There is no need to go out of one's way to support anyone. One should buy only what they want to buy.
first + first = second 🙂

Come Pakistan explore Northern Pakistan, its very beautiful place
I definitely want to see Pakistan sometime, looks amazing.
First😊
So sorry to say..Your video of 29.13 min. is not worth to enjoy minutely because you filmed the places inside the fort too quickly rather to say very fast filming of India's Golden fort.
However my congratulations for you.
I showed much more of the fort in another video: th-cam.com/video/Cs0j6i_IzBs/w-d-xo.html

for your viewing pleasure. 🤗

Hi Gabriel, it's very confusing getting around the city of Jaisalmer, you're better off getting a rickshaw ride, they have better knowledge of the city you may just end up in a place you didn't expect. There's no doubt traveling is such an adventure it can be euphoric or nerve-racking a place like India with such crowds can be a distraction these have such high energy with so many motorbikes moving around simultaneously.
You miss the point of these vlogs. Gabriel walks everywhere, especially where motorized travel cannot access. He takes us to places only intrepid travellers go and interacts with local people as a friend. That is what makes his vlogs so special.
@@carolinecaiger6717I think you miss the point also Caroline - he heads straight for the nearest rental car shop in countries where he's confident enough to drive in and or has the option to get a car (or other form of motorised transport). I doubt he's crazy enough to try and endure the India driving experience or rely on their dodgy rickshaws, hence he walks. Not quite the barefoot explorer that you romanticise about.
So show us the much more to see and not the same old, same old. Get out of the city and explore.
Loving the India video's, all of them. Keep more coming Gabe.
If there's one thing we can rely on it's the constant negativity from Mzungu in these comments.
@@martinhollingsand your trolling, get a life troll!
🐐😆🤣👍
THIRD BABY
Yep, got it.
It looks too primitive i would rather spend the cash to go somewhere moden
How boring!
Jai rajputana 🚩 🙏 ✨️
Majority of the population not being hand - to - mouth in the past several years , say 5-6 years or so surely has helped & India too will soon find it's place in the Sun , back on track to the former Glory 🤔....who knows
The government should start with the basics of keeping their streets clean and more importantly the locals should have that basic civic sense to want to keep their streets clean otherwise whats the point of wanting to go back to their former glory when the streets are dirty everyday.
First
Boom, got it.
