Thanks a lot for watching and safe journeys!
Palika Bazaar is an underground shopping mall, known for cheap prices and a lot of haggling, kind of like the souks you have visited it’s not a subway …..still hoping that when you come back in Delhi area you may see Akshadham , you probably won’t be able to film a lot inside it’s about a 4-5 hour experience, hour long mega movie, boat ride and so much inside….. it’s near Raj Ghat…also Modi decreed years back to rid streets of cows, dogs and monkeys….they are my favorite parts too.
Thanks, good to know. I guess that's why it's called a bazaar, haha. Next time I'll have to check it out. I visited the Akshardam temple years ago, it's incredible.
Palika bazaar is bogus, it could be avoided.
@@USA_MIKE that a yoga aasan lol 😂
U can get best ripp off in palika nazaar.
Yea,he almost got to the entrance but turned around. It’s an ok bazaar,lot’s of clothing and electronic stuff from memory
As someone who just booked a one way ticket to India this September, this is exactly the content I was looking forward to
Have a nice trip!
Bring plenty of immodium.
@@rebelcounty2078 I've built up an iron stomach from travelling around Africa, but immodium is something I have high up on my to take list
@@haze6164 Thank you, I've been planning it for two years, so it's fair to say I'm excited
@@darrynmurphy2038 Watch Karl Watson's India videos. They're great and will give you an idea about how to travel the country
This is so different than the old Delhi! I cannot wait to visit these places myself. Thank you for the trip, Gabriel!
Avoid paharganj, instead of that go to "majnu ka Tila" ( Aruna Nagar ) north Delhi or go to B2 Market near Hauz khas
As a Delhite, my humble request to travelers. AVOID staying in Paharganj and Old Delhi, that's like one of the shadiest and filthy areas in Delhi. And avoid the roadside street food. Even locals think twice before eating from such places. You can find the same street food but with better hygiene and quality at restaurants like Haldiram.
Your channel is criminally under watched Gabriel. Can't wait for more.
I will be there in 26 days (3rd visit to India. Last time in 2016). These videos are perfect as I need to refresh my memory.
Check out "Harald Baldr" and "Bald and Bankrupt" as well.
Visit ladakh and Kashmir on bike
Visit kerala...... Better than all North Indian state.... You will amaze
GABE old boy I hear ya'. You were running on E during that first trip to India 🇮🇳 towards the end. Same thing happened to me last year in Mexico 🇲🇽. Thank you for reminding me of that Jain temple that I saw across from the Red Fort when I was there. It is EPIC. Old Delhi is Amazing 😍. Keep doing your best bud.🕉️🙏🏻😎✌🏻
Wow! Had no idea New Delhi was so green. Loving those white columns two story buildings.
Nah, hellhole
Yes because for some reason most foreigners end up traveling to Old Delhi which is like shadiest and filthiest areas in city with shitty food. Even locals avoid that area. Call it Poverty p*rn. That's what sells in the West.
They will never ever visit beautiful places in India. they only want to show poor side of India , like old Delhi, Mumbai slum, random remote village etc to travel cheap and get more views..
@@essee3984 it is pandering to the western audience, and partly also because its true. that being said, they should also show the shitty shady areas western countries.
India is far far green than Europe and USA
it's called connaught place cause u cannaught afford to live there
Ha, good one.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Ha, see u in India foo 🙏
@Nakky Travels He wasn't disagreeing, he was acknowledging the joke.
@@rupaksingh2848 its one of the most expensive places on earth bruh
@@rupaksingh2848 you don't live to New York to know how expensive Manhattan is 😜
Hoping to get to India at the end of 2023 or early 2024. Such an interesting country. Great video Gabe!
Try to make an indian in india your friend. He will make you travel much more easier.
@@mr.rananowactive2992 💯💯💯💯
Welcome!
It is perfect weather in the Himalayas. Visit Tungnath, Kedarnath,Gangotri, Valley of Flowers etc in the state of Uttarakhand.
Yeah I love Uttrakhand, warcging from Estonia 🇪🇪 ❤
It’s been over ten years since I been in India so I’m loving your videos! Hope you can get to Akshadham Temple it’s best to start around 2:30 so when you finish it’s be dark for the amazing light show, the whole experience is unlike any museum or theme park on the planet 🙏🏽

Delhi is really green, if you visit the south delhi & Lutyens delhi, Hauz khas, diplomatic conclave parts which is the capital.
Delhi and nearby regions have some of the very beautiful parks. You can include, Lodhi garden, Sundar nursery, dalit prerna sthal similar to Lincoln memorial. There is okhla bird sanctuary also nearby accessible by metro rail.
The Circle or Bravery looked very beautiful. You are in my dream destination Gabriel. I feel like I've been to India thru your videos over the years. I remember the ashrams where the Beatles went. That was magical.
Yes that place is magical 🙂
I've been to New Delhi it's an amazing place like nothing you've ever experienced
Wow,it's a really beautiful place, culturally and spiritually. You appreciate it the longer you stay....
Thanks for sharing dear!!!
Exactly. Also it's important to go to the right places in India. The smaller towns are nicer than the big cities.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos 100% true
Delhi is not spriculity place😁😂.
India is #1 on my bucklist...yet the over zealous men trying to make money would drive me crazy. Wouldn't stop me from coming, but wow, some of this is overwhelming.
I tell them that I live in Delhi when I visit and you need to be really dominant/ blunt with them. If you take a cab be very clear where you want to go and that you don’t want to go to the market. (They get money from the vendors ). Sadly just about anybody who approaches in the street wants to sell or scam something. The magic/culture/history and spirituality of India is well worth the effort though.
Skip delhi, go to the himalayas directly the day u arrive
Get two taxi apps OLA and Uber. Problem solved!
Yeah, if you tell them to piss off in an assertive way. That is it. If talk in a soft way.. they won't leave you.
Please avoid delhi
Delhi is one of worst cities in india
Namaste Gabe! Wonderful to see Mahabharata and central New Delhi again! Visited the capital last 11 years ago - it seems remarkably clean now. The Connaught Circus area is great for up-scale fashion shoping, when time is limited. Otherwise I'd heartily recommend Ajmal Khan Rd in Karol Bagh for shoes and everything. So much to see, for instance the fab Baha'i Lotus Temple gardens, and in Old Delhi the Majnukatila (Tibetan quarter) - great also for jean apparel. I resided 1991 - 98 mainly in the lower Himalayas (Dharamsala and Bir) with cooler weather, plus one winter in the garden town Sarnath by Varanasi, and Tibetan New Year down south near Mysore (another favorite town). For the hot season the Himalayas are of course best, but many hill stations (e.g. Ooty near Mysore) are also passable. Other tips: Get a light-coloured cap to shield your head from the sun's hammer-blows. A water bottle is also handy, not only to quench thirst but to pour on your head (- better than passing out). Phrases: Namaste (= Hi), Namaskar (= Hello, I salute the Divinity in you); Shukriya (= Thanks), Dhanyawad (more formal = Thank you), Bahot dhanyawad (= Thank you very much). Happy Travels, looking forward to your new Vlogs!
Hope people who got wrong idea about India by only seeing your previous video about Chaotic old delhi see this as well. New Delhi is capital not old delhi. As always nice vlog mate.
What about old one ? U can't hide
@@rishablamba5142 who's hiding? Its just that people only think of old delhi when delhi is being discussed. India is not only crowded by lanes of old delhi.
@@rishablamba5142 U just wanna live in that stereotypical thinking forever?? Who's hiding it..? But atleast see other part of Delhi as well !!
It's looking a lot less polluted than normal, the sky is nearly blue! Can't wait to get back.
New Delhi is very nice. 👍👍
Air pollution in India is less between mid of March to mid of October especially towards the end of the rainy season that is between August and September. Air quality worsens in winter.
Look who is back..real original travel legend☺️✌️🙏👍Love from Nepal bro🙏
He is amazing vloger
I remember walking regularly from pahar ganj to Connaught place in the last week of my India holiday in 1996. I was stuck in Delhi for a week with very little money in late spring and my treat was walking to here and buying a strawberry flavoured milk. Most of these fancy shops weren't in Connaught place yet at the time.
Your right the chaotic streets are more interesting, cultural & extremely diverse. Thx 4 ur vids. Looking forward to seeing more of India 🇮🇳 again through your vids.
nah it's headache. constant honking.
@@friendlyatheist9589 for us it is but for foreigners its maybe a part of enjoyment as we always suffers from chaos they for sometime
@@aryansharma7794 Connaught place is a nice place to escape the chaos for a few hours once in a while.
that was an awesome adventure in new Delhi India. nice walking to that park.
Filipino Spanish walk. Ur saying absolutely right.
Another awesome video! Thank you for getting so much content out Gabe, I think we are all craving India adventures.
Loving these videos!! Keep them coming Gabriel!!!
Cool, glad to hear it.
Wecome back Gabriel last time you visited India may be in 2017. I am following you from many years. Your way of exploring world is diverse & unique. India is unique & diverse, multicultural - Tradition,food, language,relegion,so much to explore. Enjoy in India.
Wowww what a very Beautiful interesting place of Delhi India and thanks for your sharing history Of India and some Historical places of India stay safe Godbless u 🙏🙂 from your solid fan viewer from the Philippines 🇵🇭 sir Vhin 🙂🙏👍👏👏😍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hi Gabriel, I'm sure from your videos we're going to see many facets of India it is truly a fascinating country with amazing diversity many people speak English of course but there are some 700 languages spoken in India of which 22 languages are considered official.
No bro, you are wrong, only 10% peoples of the population can speak english and most spoken understood language is hindi which serve as lingua franca all over in india.Only hindi is the official language along with english at union or national level & 20 recognised regional languages at states level.
@@संस्कृति-ठ8ङ you are wrong bro.. Almost 60 65 percent people understand English here, but many are not able to speak properly..

Great to see some of these places of interest - sights and stories with Gabe!
Gabriel, I read your book awhile back and it was interesting. I don't know if you realize, the stories your share within your videos are very interesting and are a bonus part of your content, so don't stop sharing:) I am glad the airline ticket thing worked out for you.
You can visit srinagar, pahelgam ,kokernag , Great lake trek. Amazingly beautiful places pleasant weather. Enjoy ✌️
Are you from J and K?
Hello from Boston,
I enjoy watching your videos.
Thank you for showing the good side of india.
Another Bostonian living vicariously here
Gabriel, I was at Sikandra (Agra) a week ago and the entry was now only cashless. I don't know if this applies to other cultural/heritage places but in case if it does and you don't know about this already: it would help a lot if you have set up a UPI or have some online wallet.
Basically you scan a QR and enter your details and pay (dirt cheap, it was 25₹ for Sikandra), which will give you your pass with a QR that will be scanned at the entrance and you're good to go. In case you don't have it, you can ask someone else to do it for you and they can send you the pass (it's a pdf, a screenshot will work too). This can save time.
Love your videos. Stay safe man last summer I had to pull up and eat glucose at the side of a road in June and I've lived here my whole life. The south will be far more tolerable than here during the summer.
I will be here in the Fall… mostly Delhi and Northwest India / Kashmir… your guides are great! Plus knowing Hindi will probably get me a bit farther! Thanks Gabe!
You should visit northeast India.
@@ketanparashar9390 Definitely on the list... Although I have family I can visit in Kashmir this time... ☺️
@@Ashley_Schaeffer Himachal, sikkim, Uttrakhand is more beautiful then kashmir.. Kashmir is just overhyped.... Uttrakhand is best place in India ... And best himalyan state. .. U will get skiii... Trekking.. Oldest temples.. Drafting... And many more
@@mohitthakkar8362 Is there a high desert there...? I am very inclined to visit the high desert of the mountains...
@@Ashley_Schaeffer ladakh... And himachals predesh( spiti valley)... Is the cold desert in India...
Palika Bazar is an underground market of several miles. Full of all kinds of shops. Nice music on your CP to India gate trip.
Looking forward to more Incredible India videos! You capture everything so well!
Lol They will never ever visit beautiful places in India. they only want to show poor side of India,like old Delhi, Mumbai slum, random remote village etc to travel cheap and get more views.
@@freespeech3154 exactly..
@@freespeech3154 india is poor
The traffic noise is so much better to listen to than music!!
The Mughals had destroyed most of India's ancient temples, universities and books and oppressed many people here.
Keep the videos up. Makes me miss India but can live vicariously through you! I think it’s time to head back
37c a few days from now lol. March-May is apparently the hottest months. The more you know, I thought it was more similar to Europe/NA.
Glad you showed that Delhi has another side to it, the cleaner side!
We locals avoid old Delhi because it is filthy, smelling like rotten potatoes and of course the crowd. But I don't know why expatriates like to swarm these places...
The best shopping can be found at Lajpat Nagar and Sarojini Nagar as well as Chandni Chowk.
Apart from the numerous gardens and parks of Delhi, places like Shillong, Kasauli, Khajjiar, Dharamshala and Jammu & Kashmir are absolutely lovely to visit, especially at this time of the year.
Do take time out of your busy schedule to have a dekko at these places.
Nice to get an idea how international travelling was back then. Very nice video, stay safe!
That war memorial at India Gate is so amazing! Jai Hind 🇮🇳
I respect for the knowledge you already had about India !! You are a knowledgeable traveler
Actually 80% of Delhi looks like this….Delhi’s outskirts the NCR region is even more modern filled up with skyscrapers and businesses centers….do visit Aerocity, Gurgaon and Noida to witness the modern side of Delhi…..also use the Delhi’s excellent Subway/Metro system to commute within the city instead of taking expensive cabs or Tuktuks
That's only partially true. Most Delhi is small rural colonies except for central, south and southwest delhi, Gurgaon and Noida. About 60% of Delhi's population lives in illegal construction.
Foreigners don't come to India to see skyscrapers and nice roads. They can see lot lot lot better in other countries. They want to see the shabbiness and disorderliness of India. That's fanciful to them. This abnormal ugliness is what sets India apart from the rest of the world from a tourist perspective. It is bizzare that while the locals want to run away to Europe, America and middle East forever to escape from this suffocating hell hole called India, the foreigners flock to India to revel in the same.
@@HeartistMurali hate monger get lost
@@HeartistMuraliWhat you said is partially right but The adjectives you have used are really not appropriate! India is not a hell hole. Mind your language. FYI, India is a land of legends, history, diverse culture, diverse food, spirituality, peace, old civilization, etc. Its not less than a grand grand mother compared to other countries in the world. Don't you dare again to say any rubbish about my mother land!!:Your name doesn't really go well with what you said!!
Hey 👋 Gabe! Keep living the dream brother! God Bless!
Hey Gabe Palika Bazar in connaught place is not a Metro station , it is a underground market .
I lived in India from 2001-2018 - I've never seen such little traffic in Delhi! Maybe an after-effect benefit of Covid?
Absolutely great! This is a very exciting video and awesome content. Presentation is also very good. Various genres of content give people joy and vitality.
Your content reflects your outstanding talent and passion. It will give pleasure and enthusiasm to others. Thank You! Have a great day!
I Just love Everything Gabriel Traveler! Wish to meet you in person

LOL 🤠🤪🤭👍🏽 Wow! First time for me seeing you ride in an "Auto-Tuk-kuk-Mr. Rick Shaw" in all these years of you traveling, Gabe.
Tough to visit planes of India in summer. Welcome to India.
Gabriel I am so jealous, I wish I was there with you enjoying India. I really hope you have a good time on this trip. Please make longer videos in India, as its different from other countries.
What is the difference??
@@tigerpandey7636 a lot different
Why aren't you coming then?
Any man that eats brownies and ice cream for breakfast is my kind of dude!! 🤙🤣
India's capital is New Delhi.. not old Delhi.. it's different world... many foreigners get confused..
This is awesome... love to watch 😍😍... Come to Odisha, Gabriel and explore the state... 🤘
Gabriel is doing well but he has only just begun to explore India. Such a complex and diverse country, not possible even in a lifetime.
Epic music selection @11.25
Hi Gabe, I remember the big Sunday Examiner with the travel section. They had cheap consolidator tickets worldwide. I did a courier flight in the early 1990's from San Francisco to Bangkok for $350.
Don't go south India because of too much hot weather I suggest you go himachal, Parvati Valley kasol tosh manikaran kheer Ganga
The old idea of 'budget travel' has been obscured and is practically vanishing most everywhere. We are very happy you still venture out - it is most inspiring, making connections on the go as you do, but the absence of inexpensive hostels and guesthouses is telling. We understand that the modern calculus is $30-40 hostels and $75-150 hotels. People also budget for them, but it's no longer 'budget travel'. 🙏.
This is the reality now and it’s sucks to accept this. Inflation is real and wages aren’t keeping up with it.
If you have the patience to walk around , you still can find a lot more cheaper places. Gabriel booked it online.
@@gogadev Agreed...btw one definition of patience is 'suffering'
@@pleasantjourneys But most travellers are great walkers and explorers too. Finders, seekers, keepers.
@@gogadev Thanks for the positive reminder
Totally agree.....good to see all sides, but the old area is way more interesting.
Legend in backpacking, back in india😊🙏.. welcome bro
You should come to Jaipur in Rajasthan for some incredible food and culture.
Hi, see this video: ua-cam.com/video/jdlyfz947WU/v-deo.html
Gabriel just come to Chennai, it is one of the place in India to explore more about Chennai to world and I too glad to see you if you visit Chennai
What is a dollar or 2 dollars? Yes, they over charge you. I don't sweat the price if we're talking 1 or 2 dollars more.
Hey Gabe another great video i have been to all these places in Delhi you walked passed the Blues bar where i spent New years 2005
Welcome Sir , Back 2 India , Delhi . #Real traveller
There is always a other side of every country that many foreign vlogger don't explore. You were the only one. Thx 🙏🙏
Always love this place at the center of Delhi :) Cannot get enough of it…haha.
Recently found this deep dive kinda UA-cam series about Connaught Place called “Walk with me Connaught Place”.
Namaste sir 🙏 And thank you dhanyvad for coming to India 🇮🇳
Always welcome 🙏🙏hope you feel here with everyone as ur family ❤️
remember travelling from new delhi to old delhi station in early 90s by horse and cart got footage on video 8🤣.will returt one day to explore.just loved eating basic eateries and people watching
awesome video gabe. how long are you planning to stay in india? love the videos.
I stayed in CP when I was there 3 years ago.
Palika bazar in an underground market. That wasn't a metro station but one of the enterence of the market.
Welcome to India
Hope you will have great experience 👍
I’m still watching your videos brother. Awesome
Hey James, right on, thanks for hanging in there. ✌
Yes ,Old Delhi looks more interesting.I want to visit the Mosque you went to. Maybe they will let me observe the Quiballah.Thanks for your info.
mostly in winters these places of delhi is filled with huge crowd. during summers there are hardly any crowd in the streets of delhi in afternoon.
Its funny that the old delhi is barely 0.5% of delhi ncr. The other side which you are showing in this video is rest 99.5% of delhi ncr. Irony is that most back packers stay in the 0.5% poorer part of delhi.
Yes, this fellow is a budget backpacker.
Because that is the way they(foreigners) see India or want to see India. Cows on the streets, poverty, chaos, slums, etc. That is their idea of India. For Indians when we think of America, we think of skyscrapers, times square so when an Indian tourist goes to the US, he wants to see that.
Tbh I don't understand why Indians get upset about it, they want to see what is different from their cities and towns. You see Gabriel isn't fully enjoying this part of Delhi. There are parts of Delhi-NCR that are far nicer than this but those things exist in his country too. So, let them enjoy the chaos which we have in plenty in India.

Just in the corner of Connought Place is Agrasen ki Baoli, a mediaeval step well which is really beautiful
Battle of longewala was fought b/w India and Pakistan in 1971 in which india defeated Pakistan .The tank regiment of pakistan wanted to invade the western side of india but only a hundred of Indian brave soldiers not only gave tough resistance but destroyed their whole tanks .Still these pakistani tanks are under control for vistiors in jaislamer .
One of the best vlogs about Delhi...
Great video, Gabriel! Online booking startet (for real) in 1996, with Expedia being one of the first. :-)
Right on, good to know.
i am glad you added that weird indian music no indian has ever heard of in the start of your intro. A video about India never completes without it.
take care from intense scorching heat stay hydrated
If you want to see greenery travel to Kerala, weather is hot this time of the year but climate is manageable in hill stations like Munnar
Re your story of the return ticket. This week on Rick Steves podcast, he was talking to a US embassy guy who said that overseas embassies can lend money for a ticket home when there is a difficult situation. I thought that was good to know.
this area is nice more modern ... not to far from the American Embassy and the others
FYI : When that Rickshaw Driver was stating Golden Temple he meant Gurdwara Sis Ganj in old delhi, you are correct the actual golden temple is in Amritsar, Punjab !!
1:09 yessiree! (no, I'm not talking about the Colombian one)
If you are still in Delhi, I advise you to go Sundar nursary. It is newly open park near humyaon tomb and have man to historical buildings
Bhai zyda mehmaan nawaji se log sir pr chadh jaate ha. Hum Indians ki koi itni help nhi krta foreign me

I was planning to head to the northeast, Darjeeling, Sikkim, etc., but I see the weather is all rain and thunderstorms. I'd like to see the Himalayas without clouds. How is the weather where you are?
