I don't understand how these videos have such "low" views! They're some of the best-edited videos I've seen on TH-cam and are much better than much of the crap on TV. Deserve much more than 7,000 subscribers buddy!
+Karl Watson: Travel Documentaries Quick question, are they tagged properly?? When I searched for "Around the world trip" I never saw any of them. Only found your channel by accident! :)
+Karl Watson: Travel Documentaries yea i found it by accident aswell searching specificlly for thailand videos for long time :)
+hubbitut
I had the same experience. I was extensively searching for a Phuket video and came across this by sheer luck. But this is better than anything else I've seen so far.
I agree
+T4K Games totally agree ive been searching for weeks and only found this this evening and have watch all but 2. also huge repect to you guys for having the patience to fil it for that long. id have lossed the camera. im taking the new go pro 4 plus black this time so hoping to get all day footage with the head cam
that tour guide was a legend
you are right whale! if you came to peru please let me know, i´ll be glad to help you, and please check out this website if you are coming to peru backpacker-nation.com
I know, very rhetoric though!
Love the authenticity! No fake excitement, no luxury resorts! If u have any sponsored “reviews”, great job cuz i didnt even notice. I just came across ur vids and I’m binge watching all! I m loving it. Great work!
Thanks! There’s nothing sponsored in this entire series, paid for it all ourselves. In fact nearly all my films are self funded, whenever there’s an exception I explicitly say so 😊 glad you’re enjoying it 👍
The odds of those folks being on a boat with you guys in New Zealand and then hiking in Peru is insane, just unbelievable!!
"...six months of no exercise and rigorous drinking." Well done, gents! Love this.
and they survived! Kudos to James and Karl!!!
@G Adventures. That cake looked wonderful! 🍰
the tour guide for the machu picchu trial was great and very professional. i wish to have him as my guide when i go to peru.
The tour guide put a link to his website under @whalebomb ‘s comment above. 🧗
nice to see exchange or sharing of cultural differences 💂👬🙌 no discrimination only love and laughter.

Machu Picchu has been on my bucket list since I was a little kid and I've seen so many pictures of it but I really had no idea about the Inca trail and how insanely beautiful those mountains are. This leg of the trip really stood out for me. I'm definitely going to make it a point to do the Inca trail when I go. Love your work Karl (& James!!!)
A good guide makes a big difference in the Inca Trail. It looks like you guys had a great time.
Sure did 😊
This is amazing, I've literally just spent the day watching your videos. One of my dreams is to backpack the world, so this inspires me a ton. Awesome footage as well!
Did you backpack the world?
We wanna know!
Tell us!?
Truly that guide was amazing.....a good ambassador of Peru
😅😅
I have seen literally hundreds of great videos on youtube but this is by far one of the best I've ever seen! Keep up this great work of capturing emotions!
The bit on 33 minutes about feeling cynical to wards the day trippers - exactly! After four days roughing it, we were determined to make sure we got priority when going up and downstairs and the day trippers waited their turn. So funny that you noticed it too :) Excellent video - brought back some amazing memories.
absolutely amazing trip! Peru is on my bucket list !! amazing country , amazing people !!
I'm binge-watching this series! So far, the Inca Trail and the Amazon Jungle are my favorite part! Also, James is quintessentially enthusiastic and a go-with-the-flow kind of traveler. I hope all travelers are like James! :D
Inca Trail seemed like one of the best trekking adventures in your trip, backpacking but with that whole crew it was still like pleasant almost luxurious accommodation and the meals they prepared wow😱 and possibly one of it not the best views on the trip from the camps you stayed there, and how the fog and mist lowered for when you entered Machu Piccu - magical 🤩
Yeah the Inca Trail was one of the highlights of the 9 months
Really enjoyed when the porters introduced themselves. They seem to be lovely people :) Going there in May, can’t wait! Great Channel btw, really enjoying the HK2NY series!
As Peruvian I'm proud that you dedicated one entire episode to Peru. I hope you come back soon!
a very educational backpack travels that can be suggested and promoted to world historical books.. kudos mr. karl watson...
This was a great way to experience the Inca trail. I will definitely be one of those lazy people on the train one day when I am able to visit because I have bronchial asthma. HaHa. But this really gave me joy to watch because I would love to be able to hike the Inca trail. I feel like I was kind of there on the journey with you. Thanks for sharing and inspiring others.
Thanks for watching :)
The Peru trip was spectacular, I just booked it with gadventure , the guide was awesome. Good bless the porters
Yeah we were so lucky to have that guide and group of porters
Definitely the best episode so far. Nice to see you guys finally appreciating another lands culture.
I cried I laughed I cried. The porters introducing themselves to the group, 4 days bonding, then culminating in goodbyes, expressing thanks to the porters. Memories made forever Karl. The editing, the music, the monologue. Wow. Just Wow 👏 👏 👏
Thanks Craig! 😊
your tour guides here are awesome! 👌🏼
I truly do not know how your videos don't have more views, better than anything in tv! The inca trail seems really amazing and it was wonderful how y'all connected with the people. Great Video!
amazing you've been in my country, greetings from Lima! ;)
I can't stop watching your documentaries! Giving me the definition of itchy feet. Love this series
I have become addicted to your videos guys! You two are so honest and you make me feel like I'm right there with you two! Great videos! Thank you!
Man, beautiful documentary series you have created. Its a perfect blend of seriousness, but also down to earth and humanized. The shots are amazing, and the background music are perfect and give added effect. I've always wanted to travel around the world, and this inspired me even more.
What an incredible journey of the famous Inka Trail, you guys inspire me to indulge into the same 4-day journey to Machu Pichhu from Cusco.
great episode, peru is one of the best countries ive ever visited and machu picchu one of the greatest things ive ever seen along with the taj mahal! bringing back many great memories, your episodes are making me want to go travelling again lol.
i wish i could visit machu pichu someday and follow the inca trail. best travel documentary I've watched to date.
Karl, this was not at all what I expected. Peru is such a diverse country. Very beautiful and so are the people there. I wasn't too crazy about all the critters running about, it's insect hell for sure. You didn't so enough leg in this video though, ha! Thanks again for such a great video tour. On to the next.
Absolutely enjoying this HK2NY series! Some of the best videos I've seen on youtube! Keep up the amazing work Karl!
This is the best thing I've ever seen on youtube! The editing is waay above youtube standard
Guys, this is by far one of the best traveling videos I've seen in a while. I am going to Peru in 2 months, super pumped now.
That guide is a legend
5:20 Shes talking about the Condor bird on the hat. She's trying to demonstrate it flies.
I found your video because I was looking for good info on Peru ... Loved your video. Loved the Inca Trail but I noticed no one looked like they were over 30? I'm over 50 ... what do you think? Too tough for an old girl?
I absolutely love your videos! I myself plan to go travelling with a friend in April next year, (Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, New Zealand ad Australia) and whilst I was more scared than exited, watching these video's has completely turned that around! Now, I cant wait to get out of the UK and just go! I love the fact that not only are your videos funny, bu they are also informative, you convey the emotional aspect of your adventures very well! Please Please keep these video's coming! You're both doing a fab job!!
:) Yay more vids! looking forward to them! Thanks again!
Already done :)
Those views on the Inca trail brought me to tears! very well made!
This is my second time watching these videos, so much to see and learn, think I'll need a third viewing....excellent work Karl (& James)
Reminds me exactly of "how beautiful life can be". Such an amazing video. Heading to Peru very soon. :)
So amazing, thanks for do these documentaries, so inspiring for us to explore the world!
Really amazing and nicely shot ! Your entire video series is highly motivating for anyone interested in traveling and visiting new places.
Awesome video Karl! thank you for sharing them.
They all seem like friendly happy people, what a life changing experience.
My favorite episode so far! I need to hike the Inca trail! Seemed so magical and spiritual!
Rewatched. I was amazed by the encounter with Ciaran and Karen. It was astonishing that they met for the second time and were able to interact with Karl.
really nice video. Peru is a must do for me :-)
I love the way tou see things.
Great job guys.
I hope these travel documentaries got you something (apart from the experiences obviously) because my gf and I both think they're brilliant. I initially thought they must have originally been from tv. Would love to know how to make professional videos like these also.
Nice! I'm freelancing too but it's for something pretty boring. Need to get into something more exciting haha.
Amazing videos. Loved watching them all, Hope you have another trip planned.
Amazing!! im taking the Inca trail with my wife and brother soon. Ive been looking all over for an informative video on the Journey. Yours is the by far the BEST. Thank you
AHHHHHHhhhhhh! I am going to Peru for my winter break in Dec. I am so stoked. Thanks for this doc, y'all.
How was it?
This was beautiful and amazing thank you for making this
I was originally thinking to just backpack Europe. But after seeing this, I'm thinking fuck it I want to do this too. Excellent videos, do you make films professionally? Because this would not look out of place on the the TV at all on as a documentary.
The 8th of September i'm travelling to Peru! Can't wait anymore.
Great video!
I want to go here so badly it's so beautiful
Wow these videos are definitely amongst the best travel videos I've seen and makes u think if I can go they why don't I?
Wonderful video Karl, thanks for your time and effort
I am planning a WOOFF/Workaway trip to South America with my 27-year-old daughter and couldn't decide between Colombia, Ecuador, or Peru. After watching this, I think Peru may win. A week of volunteer work, and then a week to explore Machu PIchu sounds like a great goal for 2016. Beautiful work, you guys!
I am so in love with your videos!
This video is absolutely incredible! Very well edited with amazing footage. I even got a little bit emotional at times haha.
I'm going to Peru in May for 5 weeks and I can't wait!
Really inspiring, my favourite video so far!
Great video! Amazing place and people. Would love to go there someday.
This is just epic:D. Thank u for sharing this with us! Will be visiting peru next month and I can't wait.
Ur vid is epic bro ..thanks for sharing...im from lima ...everyone is welcomed to my country Peru!!
ever since I watched "les cites dors" as a child Peru is my dream Destination!
Outstanding! Im planning on going to peru in 2016!
you videos are awesome, it's like I'm watching a NatGeo documentary.
South America on my list was always, but never seen those places like this, soo much fun,groups have been 😎
Travel videos are amazing
Amazing video..One thing You guys missed the truly life-changing experience of Ayahuasca while in the rainforest.
such a great and interesting video, you guys convinced me even more to visit Peru this year!!! :)
Enjoyed a lot in fact didn't notice how quickly 52 minutes gone. Big thumbs up mate.
very amazing and love to see karl Watson Tours.nice guys.i think one thing is missing its karl watson should provide every detail of tour agents and hotels there because there r too much scam there in some countries and karl Watson has lots of reserch involved in it .
Real adventure, reminds me to our travels into the jungle of Borneo on a house boat upstream to the Orang Utan Camp Leaky in South Kalimantan/ Indonesian side
What an amazing video! I'll be leaving for Peru in January, so I was looking for some travel videos. Yours is, hands down, one of the best travel videos I've ever seen. Period. Thank you so much for filming your adventures. I'll be subscribing and linking this to my fb. :)
Thanks for the video. Great!
i soo love this documantary
your Philippine travel docu brought me here. loved this one! I always wanted to go to Macchu Picchu. great travel documentaries :) Keep up the good work and keep travelling. binge watching on your videos. haha! - JR from the Philippines!
Wow I spent all day watching all your videos lol. I plan to backpack Central and South America this year. Enjoying all your video and noting down some ideas to do. Thank you for this 😁
Thanks for watching 😊
Im not convinced that the Inca Trail is more a Tourist $$ spinner than a spiritual/ enlightenment experience. Checking out the prices l would expect great food, great service and great guides. That very first village you went to the guide said "this is not dress up for Tourist benefit" (as they layed out all the obligatory souvenirs), sure. But ld agree with you walking up is the way to go and the experience and views👍👍. Glad you finally got to see some crocs all be it in the Amazon not Australia 🤣. The shots you got of the wildlife and insects was awesome. Thanks guys a great vid.
I've always wanted to go to Machu Picchu. I'm not sure if I could do the walk (I'm not in the best of shape, lol), but it would definitely be worth it. This was very informative and great to watch. Thanks!
Superb videos! Best travelling videos I`ve seen on youtube.
Loved the walking tree!
But the walking part is a myth that is taught to the guides. Yes it grows roots towards the sun and the shaded ones die off, but the tap root remains in place. Sorry.
Very professionally done video
Amazing video, makes me want to go to Peru even more. If I've never hiked, could I still do the inca trail to Maccu Picchu ?
it was a pleasure watching this video!! I hope I can visit this place soon :)
I love Peru !
the guide was such a star!
Very high quality production, I feel like watching TV. Views should be higher. I guess can't beat those bikini thumbnail with BS content.
Your editting skills tho... Hey guys such an amazing job
beautiful documentary...one day for me.
great video, great adventure, great activities guys 👍👍
Fantastic watch and brilliant editing guys you should really be proud of that! definitely sharing and subscribing! I do have a question which i am very interested to found out or get an idea of, i am planning a global trip myself and Peru is high priority on the list, (still early stages of planning yet), just intrigued to know ball park figureish of cost of peru for an adventure such as your own? Many thanks and all the best with your travels and videos! Ryan :)
awesome video. btw, what travel agency did you guys use for the tour?
oh wow James is fearless... those shoes would be painful for that type of travel lol well done.
I agree with Jay Field
