Enjoying your vids in India 🇮🇳
🐐😆🤣👍
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.
Nice! Thank you.
Jai rajputana 🚩 🙏 ✨️
GABE YOUR LIFE !!!!! AMAZING !!!! TY FOR TAKING ME ALONG WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!
Great video Gabe thank you for all you do
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.
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.
I love when Gab is going through a dead end and he goes like "ay ya yay yay" 😊
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!
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.
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
👍👍👍
🤍
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.
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.
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.😮
OMG what a place. Complete sensory overload. The goat clip at the beginning was hilarious 😆😂
Loved it! 🥰
India is just a feast for ones senses. I can't wait to experience it this winter, hopefully.

I miss the Internet cafe days, was such a seen in India back in 2005, it was how to meet other travelers too
Love the intro. I miss your "lightsaber" camera .
What is your vlogging camera 📸 name.😮 I'm want buy this camera 📸
That fort is impressive. It’s a maze. A very successful fort. It’s still standing.
I am sure non of the video games can beat navigating thru Indian alleys and roads … 🤩
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, 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!
Best intro ever! Thanks Gabe!🧡🐐
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!
I love how the cows are just chillin in the middle of the street 😂
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.
@ 27:15
Future funny. 🤣
600 INR is expensive.. Haha in big cities no decent places beoow USD 150
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.
Go to dessert main areas
nice
If My mother didn’t hear from me in a few hours when I’m traveling, she’ll be worried
It looks too primitive i would rather spend the cash to go somewhere moden
Omelette with jam? 🙈
Surprisingly there are few cow pies in the street for the number of cows.
no bangh lassi?
