Thanks a lot for watching and safe journeys!
I sure won't ever live there in my life, just imagine all the car honks and cramped roads to drive in... as a daily driver I can't handle that lol
Beautiful walk with you through Delhi!
Love that you’re back in India 🇮🇳 I agree, it’s a land of such contradiction and that is what makes it such a rich place to experience. Your love of the country really comes across. I would put India up there as the No.1 travel experience!
Really enjoyed this unedited walk through Delhi . Such an amazing sight it's difficult to understand how everybody avoids each other. Also amazing not to see one piece of graffiti. Unlike like the video I just saw in Athens with Johnny FD. Thanks for these Indian videos ,so interesting.
perfect perfect thanks dear Gabriel for this video
Another wonderful video of Delhi. Can't wait for the next. Good work Gabe.
Thank you for showing the city and be safe out there. Love your channel.
Thanks and definitely. 👍
WHERE DOES NAMASKAR COME FROM?
namaskar
Both namaskar and the popular variant namaste have the same root word in Sanskrit: namas, which means “bowing or homage.” Namaskar is made up of the root words namas and kara, meaning “doing,” while namaste is made up of namas and te, meaning “you.” As such, namaskar and namaste are both respectful and very formal salutations roughly translating as “I bow (to you).” Namaste can be used in Hinduism specifically to acknowledge the divinity in another person or god.
Namaskar is most often accompanied by a particular mudra, or gesture, in which a person presses their palms together by the forehead or the chest. Namaskar can also be accompanied with a bow.
Its ironic that I Grew up in Delhi, passed by Red Fort and Jama Masjid every day on my way to college for 3 years taking a connecting Bus at Red Fort Bus stop to the Univ campus and never got to go inside the Jama Masjid or the Red Fort, and now seeing inside the Jama Masjid thru the camera of a fellow American traveler.
Your senses are wide awake after that journey. I'm wondering if you are going to visit any of India's beautiful old step wells. ?
Very very likely.
Gab you walking in these streets like you was born there good job man
Love it! You've convinced me to start planning my second trip to India!! I think I'll wait until after monsoon though haha.
i should also wait till after monsoon bro but as a State worker i only have vacation on July/August😫😫😩😩
Meet us plz i am from delhi
Dude, im pretty sure the chaos of dheli would give me ptsd...
It's super interesting seeing the chaos of Delhi tho I fear for your life in that traffic 😳
"Hindustan" refers to the land East of the Indus river, and not land of the Hindus. Afghanistan, Pakistan, XInjiang and even Indonesia were all Hindu lands until the 13th century
Debatable and not clearly defined it seems:
"Hindustan (Persian: هندوستان, audio speaker iconpronunciation (help·info), along with its shortened form Hind (هند),[1] is the Persian name for India, broadly the Indian subcontinent, which later became used by its inhabitants in Hindi-Urdu (Hindustani).[2][3][4][5] Other toponyms of the subcontinent include Jambudvipa, Bharata, and India. After the Partition of India, it continues to be used as a historic name for the Republic of India.[6][7][8]
A secondary meaning of Hindustan is as a geographic term for the Indo-Gangetic Plain in northern India."
@I know nobody cares but That seems logical, however the Hindus were named after the Indus river which was pronounced as "Indoos"
@@GabrielTravelerVideos He is right hindu word is only 400 yrs old word max. Actual name for religion is sanatan dharma. Hindu came from river sindhu greeks converted hindu to indu and india.Sindhu river is now called indus river
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Don't believe them. These are all ruling party BJP's publicists on social media. They spread lot of fake history of India.
Still better than Kensington ave.
Awesome video. It really has to be such an experience.
Wow Gabriel 😳 enter at your own risk! 🤦♀️ alot going on! Stay safe! ❤🙏
i gabariala welcome to india i am your subscribers from long days when you had taken a shelter in canadian national park during covid .. and there was a bear also nearby your tent.. so nice to see you here.. if you get time then please visit to varanasi.. i live here.. love you brother.
This is one of the most irritating bs scams of Delhi, the ‘entrance fee’ for the Jama Masjid. A voluntary donation is one thing but barring entry to a house of God because you won’t/can’t pay is awful. Those guys are nothing to do with the mosque authorities and any Muslim worth their salt will tell you it’s highly immoral-at best- to charge people money to enter. Next time look em in the eye, say “Astugfirallah!!” and walk on.
Catholic church does too (donation basket 🙄)
I remember going into the Jama Masjid during my visit to Delhi in January of 2020. I don't remember paying anything to go in. So i was shocked this happened to him.
@@Gemelli2906 Whilst I’m no fan of the Catholic Church a donation is a donation & voluntary. Physically barring entry unless money is extorted is outrageous.
completely agree with you that it is a scam. On the Delhi tourism website it says, the entry fee is only if you want to do photography not if you are just visiting. So this is a loophole they have created (scamsters are smart, you have to give them that!). Foreigners are least likely to argue abt it, and they know that. Don't overlook the fact that since they are sitting there openly and charging money, not only the police and government babus but, the whole masjid administration, imam etc must be in it!
God brings back memories. Some people loved it. I couldn't wait to leave. 6 weeks in India. 2008. Still looks like a dump
28:11 cows are not so sacred in indian cities. they eat from the garbage bags and most of them have a skeleton out. when they can't give milk then they often get abandoned. in South India and north east india most people eat cow meat . but it is completely different in the villages of the country there almost every family have a cow. people there have grown up drinking the milk of the cow so she is like second mother to them. actually cows have human like emotions. if you are in grief your cow maybe not near you but it would shed tears for you.
man i got headache from this video thy really love there horns :((
Is there a rich area in New Delhi? Like where everything is clean and modern?
Lots of rich and developed areas.But gab is gab we can't dictate him where to go .
Gurgaon, Connaught Place, or Noida might be what you are thinking of.
Do they never learn that honking the horn incessantly does not make traffic go faster?
Its a way of communication in india... like 'move your ass out ' etc..
Huge fan of yours sir from India... ♥️♥️please meet me when you come to Mumbai or Pune....🙏🏻🙏🏻
Welcome to Delhi.
I noticed none of the men in India wear shorts even though it's very warm. Is this because of their religion?
No no, its because short pants makes them feel and look goofy.
It’s not because of religion. Here, people view shorts as something only children wear.
Please come over to Bangalore, Gabriel?
The horns, i couldn't stand more than 24hrs in delhi thesedays.....
Beverly from Jakarta 🙋🏻♀️ nice episode 👍
at 18:23 the guy says Bald and Bankrupt
Gabriel ji, Namaste, Namaskar!Both mean the same Sir.or you can greet someone inside a mosque with Salaam Waleikum.or reply to it with Waleikum Salaam.Enjoying your vlog Sir like always!
The noise levels is hellish, the heat level is hell you have holy cow's that's is really hellish. Yes that a pick into hell. Like your videos 🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯😻😻🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵
This video could have been three hours long and I would have been on board for the whole thing.
Sweet.
How did you enter India without a return flight? Isn't that a requirement?
I've never been asked for a return flight on any of my trips to India.
❤🇮🇳👋🏻🇬🇪
🇮🇳❤️🇬🇪
U r awake it's 3 AM in the morning here
Super power India 💪💪
Hindustan was given by arabic, land of hindus. India has many names, commonly used "Bharat". "India" is taken from Indus river, melting point of civilization of indian subcontinent.
Hindustan is Persian not Arab
You means Persian?
Its so gross the way the street thieves won't leave you alone. Subbed, liked.
don't say boom near mosque lol
I remember Pahar Ganj near the railway station. Accosted by all and sundry, it was a welcome relief to seek refuge in my hotel room in Connaught Circus. Don't go here. It is a disaster. Crowded, filthy and full of rip off artists. Never again.
One can hardly see a bit of greenery in those rundown looking old 'chowks' or market areas, it looks and feels like a hippy dippy yippie wasteland of spit, grit and a British hooligan pit. lol 🤭
LOL 😋😁🤭It's no wonder you have never gotten the painful case of the 'Delhi Belly', because you never try anything risqué/NAUGHTY like those less than sanitary by Western standards street foods.
I've eaten tons of Indian street food and other assorted random stuff in my 23 years of visiting the country. There was this one incident, but not exactly Delhi belly: ua-cam.com/video/likTZzvu6tU/v-deo.html You can't see the date on the video but it's from 2012, thus the crappy camera and lots of "ums".
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Oh wow! Will checking out those videos for sure. Thanks.
6:12 Hindu is not a religion . the land between Himalayas and Indu Sagar ie indian oceean called Hindustan and people who lived between this land called hindu (h of Himalaya plus indu) . so it was the regional identity originally, then it became more of a cultural identity. the name hindu was given by the foreign invaders. there is no religious book in Hinduism also there is no one God. other cultures believe that God made them in india people make gods. people in india have the liberty to worship or not to worship at all . stone book animals plants everything and anything can be worshipped in this culture one can even worship himself or herself, whatever means a lot to him or her. this is the only culture which is built on spirituality not faith. it is the birth place of spirituality which completely opposite of faith . although in competition to others they are trying to build a religion in Hinduism but there they will never succeed .if you go to someone's home you would see them worshipping several gods so even they are not sure the which is The God . that's the basis of any religion that there has to be one God one book and all must follow it without questioning . that would never happen in Indian culture . in Bhagavad Gita which is claimed by many that it is a religious book is full of questions to krishna from arjuna . that would never happen in a religion only in spirituality it happens. even the Vedas (veda means knowledge) are books of wisdom not religion. Hinduism not about God and what God commanded, the first book of veda "rigveda " questioned the God existence in one hymn that is God really made us? The universe? Then another hymn says universe created by vibration than 5 elements came = space , force , heat, soil, water then life was created by itself according to rigveda.
Walking with a camera and talking through this chaos (and debilitating heat) is not easy. And you keep your calm face. I like the honesty of your narratives in your vlogs too. Not too many do this way ! A great job !
A unique land of vibrant colours, breathtaking landscapes and rich history, India is unlike any other. From the writhing streets of Mumbai to the idyllic shores of the Andaman Islands, this remarkable country offers a diverse feast for the senses.
Yes the powerlines look super unsafe. How do they know what goes where? I would not want to be the electrician who has to figure that out. :)
The monsoon can also be an enjoyable time in some parts of India. There is a whole monsoon tourist scene in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra and also Goa and Karnataka. It's fun to get wet in the rain while climbing the hills through the clouds. Everything is lush and green and you will see a different aspect of India. You should look at the monsoon trekking videos.
The talking's fine, it's better if it's about what you're seeing and experiencing as you walk along, though. The long stories don't seem to fit the videos and are a little distracting, I have to admit. Great content, though. India's an amazing culture!
Lovely view! 🌺😍 Gods creation is so beautiful!
We should spend more time on discovering beautiful places in the world....thank you to help us in that!!!🥰❤💯👍
Looks like you have handled the Delhi Touts before !! I love the friendly conversation you have with them without losing your patience ..😅😅
Both namaskar and the popular variant namaste have the same root word in Sanskrit: namas, which means “bowing or homage.” Namaskar is made up of the root words namas and kara, meaning “doing,” while namaste is made up of namas and te, meaning “you.”
personally i always feel relieved to leave Delhi...it's every man for himself there in my experience...it wears me down and i think as it gets hotter it becomes more unbearable there...i flew to Bodh Gaya from Delhi and then to Benares and it was a different world and much calmer. It's wonderful to see India again and i wish you good travels there.
Yeah big cities in India are very hectic there is a lot of fun in visiting the smaller places. Shimla, Dharamshala, Amritsar, and Gangtok are my personal favorites.
Yes, new videos of india! Those are your best episodes! They remind me so much of my time in india, you really bring back all the good memories with your videos gabriel, thank you so much!
Do you see any changes in the streets and general area around Jama Mazjid since your last visit in 2011,almost 11 years ago?
China is so much more developed than this
Forget china even War torn Syria more cleaner than this
Please dont compare superpower India with poor China

Thanks for inspiring our upcoming trip to India! Any thoughts about taking three kids aged 10, 7, and 3 to Northern India?
Good luck with that 😊
@@janed7774 thank you! We’ve traveled in Southern India with our kids when they were younger. We’re looking forward to coming back.
@@BagsPackedFamily I’m envious of that .. but not bitter 😊💕.. exploring is perfect for balancing and grounding 😊 peace
Haha go to the himalayas straight from delhi.
Moonshine is traveling with his kids..u can follow him on youtube..
Constant horns blaring you know where you are. I don’t see how anyone gets anywhere on time. They should all just walk!😮
26:15 - the answer would have to be: more! 😍 of this epic, (nearly) unedited content! 30:40: 😂 I mean, you are literally and by far the coolest of the youtubers I follow 👏
He is indeed 😎
Namaskar is attained from Sanskrit word meaning to bow down in respect to the divine energy, while Namaste is attained from Sanskrit word meaning to greet in respect to the other person. Namaskar is used only for the elder people, higher authorities etc while Namaste is used by everyone including young people too. In south of India you can use Namaskaram
Also, it depends on the language. Like in Assamese and Bengali (Odiya, I’m not sure) its “Nomoskar”, North, West and Central India normally use “Namaste” and in south it’s “Namaskaram”.
I’m from Assam, so “Nomoskar” 🙏
India is certainly chaotic. I wouldn't 'just go' to India - next time.
A blessed good day sir Gabe thanks for your wonderful walk around tour There in Busy Streets, in India nice Vibes, and Beautiful 😍 Markets, And products, and goods, and local food, to buy, stay safe, Godbless u 🙏🙂 from your solid fan viewer from the Philippines 🇵🇭 sir Vhin,🙏😍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Dude why can't you explore travelling destinations in India rather walking on streets? Propaganda? Shame n unsubscribing your channel.
See the comment I pinned under this video. This is the last video of Delhi. Next I will be showing many of the most amazing places of India. You can see where I went next on my Instagram: instagram.com/gabrieltraveler
No offense weather in the Indian sub-continent is very much predictable unlike Europe. No guarantee of 3 Ws (Weather, Wealth & Woman) there.
Bro we Indians and maybe foreigners are bored to see 😴 same , chaotic,old , crowded places go where most of foreigners don't go and which is actually for tourists most of the foreigners don't know about , no need to show this because already BBC , CNN and other channels are doing that. 🥺
See my latest video: ua-cam.com/video/Dd0PecruwRA/v-deo.html
Well done Gabriel. My favourite kind of travel vlog is an Indian (and Nepal) travel vlog...keep 'em coming.
So if you want to hear honking, head to India. haha
Horns need to be banned!! Lol what chaos! Wow not for me
Delhi has some of very beautiful gardens, how can you miss that?
What's the point of that
The Hindu in Hindustan doesn't mean people following Hindu faith, it means people who live east of Indus river (which is in Pakistan now). In Arabic India is known as Hind and Indian as Hindu no matter what religion one follows. This Hind has come from the word Sind which is River Indus in English. In India one can river Indus in Ladakh but it most flows in Pakistan.
Make sure you get the pickled mango with you meals. It takes curry to a new level.
Hi 👋 Simply next level walking tour! ! ! That was above and beyond goodness! ! ! 👍✌️
Cool.
namaskar more formal
namaste more casual
Amazing...admire you so much, u stay safe though
PS...want more, never boring!
I really love your India videos. Hope you go back soon. They are lots more interesting than hanging out at the beach all over the place. But I guess many people like that sort of thing. Thank you for your work. I appreciate it.
As a Connoisseur of fine whiskey, I recommend you try India's Bagpiper Whiskey brand, I'd rank it among the best in the world in terms of taste and quality -- light malty aroma, smooth woody character, Gabe.
Why people vhen go to India just visit a City's. Never visit a nature

Al jama3 masjid is a mosque where muslims pray because there are many muslims in india, that's why there is a mosque for islamic people to pray
Thank you for the impressive video! 😍🥰😘
GABE I'm number 8 in the comments today I think 🤔. I'm gonna watch this on the big 55' tv in 10 minutes. Love your India 🇮🇳 vlogs brother. They keep me going till I can go back in September I hope 🤞🏻. Keep doing your best bud. Phir Milenge dost.
Cool, let me know how it's looking on the big screen, video and audio quality...if you feel like it.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Will do buddy. I'm gonna watch it now and give you some feedback. It's all good from one traveler to another.
You’re always good optically and audibly .. spiritually you are top notch
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Gabe the audio is good. The video quality is not as good. I compared this vlog to the latest one by another dude traveling in India right now and his video quality is excellent. I don't know what cam 🎥 he's using. Have you ever used a gimbal with the action cam you have? They really stabilize the video a whole lot thus creating a very crisp video image. I lived the walk through old Delhi and you took my down memory lane as I had gone to the Jama Masjid and the market place in front of it in 2019 plus where you start the vlog in front of the Jain temple. When I was there that whole street was under renovation all the way down. I went to Haldi Ram's sweet 🧁 shop and restaurant. Awesome 👍🏻 sweets and food.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos One more thing about using a gimbal is that it makes it smoother when we are turning the cam 🎥 left and right and as a result people who suffer from motion sickness won't get dizzy. Better audience retention with that.
I do not understand why the mosque it charged fees to get in side gabriel??it is a place for Muslim to worship and they never ever charged any one fees to get inside !
I love Indian food and products from India. I would spend a lot of money there! Thank you for the awesome video. Love the channel.
Many times you visited india but never srilanka , why ? What is the reason for that ? Are you angry with us ?
I wonder how they make that with the electricity, cabels everywhere, thats crazy. I not will be an electrician there XD
Generally hindi speaking people say "Namaste" rest of the people say "Namaskar/namaskaram/namaskara". Same meaning.
It looks plenty hot in April, but I have only been there in July so I might trade for that.
Namaskar is Sanskrit, while Namaste is Hindi. So, Namaskar is more appropriate, but Hindi speakers will use Namaste.
Enjoyed the video! Thanks for taking us with you ☺️
This is one of the best VDO I have ever seen. It is very exciting view. Cheer...Cheer.
Pleasure to know you are visiting Kolkata. It's called "City of Joy".It's also known for people's elegant culture. So many great soul born here. Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda, Rabindranath Tagore, Rishi Aravindo, Raja Rammohan Roy, Iswar Chandra Vidya Sagar and so on. All have contributed a lot in social reforms in all over India. Though it saddens me sometimes observing somehow now a days society reversing back from great men's ideology.
Anyway, you may visit Victoria Memorial, Fort William Kolkata , Howrah Bridge, Belur Math, Kolkata Indian Museum ( one of the oldest Museum in the world), St.Paul's Cathedral Kolkata(said to be the first cathedral built in the overseas). Visit Rabindra Sarovar very early in the morning, peaceful. Most importantly don't miss " Botanical Garden" founded by Robert Kyd in 1787. Here the "Great Banyan Tree" will amaze you. Many more you can explore.
You may visit few kilometers away from Kolkata- the world largest Delta "the Ganges Delta" along the bay of Bengal. Then you may head towards Darjeeling in North Bengal. I must assure you you will enjoy your trekking. Many more you can explore there.
The other great soul who I remember born in Kolkata is Oscar winner Satyajit Ray. All in all a culturally rich city.
@@exchangeyo yeah. Thank you.
Namaskar is the educated and polite form, rather than the informal Namaste.
Gab you should walk on the shady side of the street that way youd be less tired. The heat tires one out
Delhi is too crowded now and sound pollution is very high but first time on your video, love it
During Monsoon time you can visit entire Meghalaya(June to August). The capital is Shillong. It is called the Scotland of the East. It is situated north east Region 3 hrs from the Gauhati city( the capital of Assam).
And please visit Darjeeling, Sandakfu and North Sikkim during summer season when you can see the beautiful mountain range of Kanchanjangha. Thanks
Scotland could be called Shillong of West Europe!!
At last... my sanity has come along ... really looking forward to your escapade into peace 💕👋
I love gabriel video so unique and profesional❤❤
Haha...INTENSE. :-)....and never boring.
