I'm curious what people think about the intro to this video, since it was a long one. Does it work or too long? You can vote in a poll here:

Don't blame you. Sometimes I wish I could get a chick to tag along on my yearly Euro trips but solo traveling is best. You dont have to worry about anybody but yourself and your plans and do things at your leisure. I wish rooms were that cheap in Europe lol 150-200 for a 2 star room seems about average these days over there
Gabe I recognized the song in your introduction immediately. It’s the same song you used in your video on the bus journey from Kathmandu to Langtang National Park in December 2019. That series is my favorite adventure! I’ve watched those videos so many times. I LOVED that song then, and I LOVED it again today. Sets the tone perfectly for this upcoming EPIC adventure. The view from your hotel balcony is incredible!!! I am so excited for this upcoming travel series!!! ❤️
Go to next punjab state
Crazy amazing with the same room!
Congrats on 594,000, you deserve more. Wish more would hit the like, cuz there always the best.😊❤
what song @ 15:00? @gabrieltraveler
That brought back memories. My wife and I did our honeymoon trip in India in 1991. We took the toy train to the beautiful hill station Shimla (what a ride!), and after a few days decided to take a bus to Kulu. That didn't go well. The bus was swaying wildly from side to side on the narrow winding road like we were on the high seas. Several locals were sticking their heads out the window to throw up. I swear one lady was almost decapitated by an oncoming bus. My wife went into a full blown panic attack and we had to be left off the bus at a roadside temple, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Fortunately we found a taxi to take us the rest of the way. We stayed at the very rustic and very cool "palace" in Kulu for a few days, and then made our way down the valley to Manali, where we had a very enjoyable stay, before heading back to Delhi by taxi (had planned to fly, but winds were too high for the plane to land safely). Good times!
Another good one!
You, sir, are "the" global trekker – respect:) namaste
In India, the unchecked construction boom – especially along the flash flood prone mountain rivers and their landslide prone banks – is a major environmental concern for the Himalayan region. Your vlog continuously captures so many new and unfinished concrete structures.
Hi Gabe,
Hope u are fine.
The best thing I like about yr way of travel, is that u do not Tag yrself with any pre arranged tour programme.
U move along like a free n
flexible traveller.
Happy hiking.
Waiting to see the Himalayas once again thru yr lense.
Thank u.
I was there last year, was worried about possible damage by recent floods but looking good thankfully!
25 years since I went there on my first big trip. Looks quite built up now but still beautiful. Not sure had a road to Manikaran back then.
Wow this is incredible lol it’s so nostalgic, I was there in 2018 or so and I almost forgot this place existed. It’s so quiet up there
I love that you returned to the same hotel room by complete coincidence. Sikhi is not related to Islam or Hinduism. They believe in one God and they believe in equality for all. Sikhs believe any religion or path that helps you connect with one God is a righteous one. They also believe in protecting humanity and making the world better for everyone. It’s a very interesting religion and I highly recommend reading up on it!
Stunning
the song is amazing
1:00 nice song
15:48 nice room with plenty of windows
Great video!! Amazing you ended up with the same room! If if was 12 bucks now I wonder how much 10 years ago? hahaha Cheers!
I am surprised to see foreigners traveling on Indian roads despite knowing how dangerous the accident fatality rate in India is. If you did not know, India has the highest number of road travel related deaths in the world due to poor safety standards on everything from expressways to village roads.
