Relaxing on mountain top while sharing snacks with that dog was a perfect ending to your video. Love watching your videos and following your adventures through northern India.
Hi Emily they are not any mountain.....They are the Legendry Himalayas......Worlds highest....and our Pride......Love from India......And mind you we have some really remote locations out there with no one for miles away
I was so happy for you Gabriel that you encountered your dream once again when things did not look good. You never gave up! I watch all your videos since 2015 and I don't comment enough but want to say thank you so much for taking many of us to places we could only imagine! Always look forward to a notification that you posted a new video. Take care and stay safe!
I feel really sad when someone says china instead of Tibet, it's kinda heartbreaking when people straightforwardly say home of Tibetan people now belongs to china(ofc it's occupied by china) but people of Tibet are still fighting foe their homes their rights and still want to go back their homes. Who doesn't want to go back to their homes. So many Tibetan refugees live in India for their safety, they have found a second home in India, but they are still carrying this pain in their hearts, while rest of the world has forgotten their story and calls their home china while they're fighting and refuse to give up. All the countries in the world need to unite and pressurize and urge the china to #FreeTibet
My friend , I know what you mean but I didn't forget . When I heard him mention Tibet I made sure I thanked him for that in my comment ... and I made sure that I said it was a shame that so many people think Tibet is a part of China , but it's not ... I made sure to mention that it's an occupied country ... and also said Free Tibet . More people need to be aware of this , I agree . I remember hearing the stories from some of the Tibetan Buddhist Lamas about escaping Tibet and making it down to Dharamsala . I hear that no one escapes now because of the technology including the infrared tracking where they can see people's footprints ... actually I heard that maybe 8 years ago . Ashame . I really believe that someday Chima of will apologize and build a giant golden stupa for the people of Tibet .
India never share a border in past history with China...Tibet is India neighborhood country not china...it is china who occupied Tibet by conspiracy......then china occupied Hong Kong and now china small evil eyes on Taiwan.....
What about many Tibetan leaders under pressure acknowledging Chinese suzerainty .. isn't being mute to this happening in Lahsa not amount to contribute to it
10:13 hey gab that's kedarnath temple..its opening from 6th of May so if you are still there you can visit it. not only the temple is epic and surrounded by snow clad mountains the trek of 16 kms is also epic .
Finally, Gabriel. We know you’ve waiting and trying so hard to get that view of the mountains, and finally!!! I am so happy you got it and could share it with us. Good job.
Gabe you should try to visit Kedarnath Temple in Utrakhand. It has some good challenging hiking and beautiful views. Lot of people go to pilgrimage every year during the summer time.
@@musqitonebeats2129 No, it'll be cloudy during monsoon. Best views for any part of Himalayas is from September to February. During Winter, you'll have absolutely clear skies. That's also the safest time to travel. Government should provide better transportation facilities and better behaviour towards tourists if they want to promote tourism. Even recently, Modi asked tourists to come to India during his European visit. But those areas are a little risky and government should ensure safety etc before increasing tourism. As an Indian, i faced many problems similar to what Gabriel faced in Uttarakhand and Himachal. Hope the government looks into it
The Pandavas were actually led to heaven through the Himalayas, after the Mahabharata war, by a black dog. They followed the black dog who always moved ahead of them. Eventually everyone in the family died, except for Yudhishtira(eldest brother, who always abided by "dharma") who ultimately reached heaven. So your feeding a black dog, with the snowy untouchable Himalayan peaks in background is very symbolical❤❤
I’m from England but there something really deep and meaningful about that encounter with the dog- I don’t what a very auspicious bless of a kind I think, this country so a gem of truth amazing work thank you sir for sharing 🙏
Yes people in the comments section are saying that in Hindu mythology a black dog was a companion to Shiva and so it really is a blessed thing that he saw a black dog here and fed him .
It's she wolf sarama of the Vedas. She is the mother of all the wolves. She and her sons represents dharma. Sarama is a Vahana (carrier) of Kala bairava form of lord Shiva. Dog is a family of sarama. In ancient times Shiva temple has wolves. Sarama represents dharma (righteousness) and intuitive. Sarama holds lamp and walk towards its goal no matter what for truth and dharma.
Wow, the mountain top and the mountain view is absolutely beautiful,-so peaceful and serene.Hope you didn’t get too tired doing the mountain track 😉.Thanks Gabriel, for another great video and for sharing all your amazing travel experiences with us viewers.Enjoy your travel adventures , please stay safe, stay happy and stay healthy.👍🙏🏽
I Watch so many travel vlogging videos, but I must say your videos have something in it... There is some kind of magic in your videos that makes me click to the video as soon as I see the thumbnail... It feels like I am there, traveling instead of you... You showed a picture of a Shiva temple with snow all around, that is Kedarnath temple... Just go there and experience those blessings... I have never been to that place, but we want to see Kedarnath through your eyes, through your vlogs... ❤️ Best of luck for your upcoming journey 💕
My stomach dropped with every step you took at the top, and no railings! That was a perfect ending with the dog and the beautiful mountains. I am hoping you continue further up.
Yes. We Indians also wants to see kedarnath as we have never spared time to visit kedarnath in our life . You'll get a million views of kedarnath temple if you go there ! That's for sure
My favorite moment begins at 19:57. You sitting there, mountains in the backdrop, a dog coming by to eat some biscuits.......I just calmly drank up those 2 minutes of video. Thank you !
Grande Finale, Boom Himalayan Peaks emerged thanks to Gabriel's determination, you had me fooled at the beginning of your trek, that it was literally cold in the northern Indian hills in April....Thanks for a great post.
The Shiva temples at top most elevations in Himalayas are Kedarnath, Badrinath (Uttrakhand), Amarnath (Kashmir). Rudraprayag and Gupt Kashi are on the way to Kedarnath and don't miss life time opportunity of visiting Kedarnath, the abode of Shiva.
So cool!I love that area and hope to head that way in September !Your videos are very real and shows the essence of Indian culture.Thanks so much and keep on trekkin’!🙏👌💪👍
This is the 1st time I'm not seeing snow in chopta and Tungnath. I took 3 hours to trek as it was full of snow in Feb. It's wonderful to see the things without snow.. Lord Shiva Bless u bro

Lmao you found a black dog. Apparently legend says that , when pandavas were on their way for moksha in Himalayas a black dog accompanied them throughout the journey, all of Yudhishthir kin fell down and died in the process (due to their karma, although they were highly virtuous but not free from their sins) , except Yudhishthir and that black dog which was Yama himself (god of death). and yudhishthir insisted Indra (god equivalent to Zeus and Thor) to let him keep the dog with him. which was ofcourse some kind of test for him to enter the realm.
Yes. Even though Pandavas won they had sinned and it was act of doing penance for their sins for so many killings. So they did not enjoy kingdom but went to penance journey. Even Lord Krishna had to suffer shrap[curse] of Kauravas mother and he died by arrow . Later his kingdom was also destroyed as all his sons fought themselves [Thats was also part of shrap]. Mahabharata is a real epic which applies today also. It has so many characters depicting so many personality traits that every human behavior can fit into it. Imagine being composed so many thousands of years ago!
It's she wolf sarama of the Vedas. She is the mother of all the wolves. She and her sons represents dharma. Sons of sarama are gate keepers of Yama who is a God of Dharma. Pandavas encounter with sarama not exactly with the dog. They met dharma at their last journey into the Himalayas. Sarama is a Vahana (carrier) of Kala bairava form of lord Shiva. Dogs are family of sarama (wolf). In ancient times lord Shiva temple has wolves. Sarama represents dharma (righteousness) and intuitive. Sarama holds lamp and walk towards its goal no matter what for truth and dharma.
You make excellent videos Gabriel, thank you for your hard work. As an Indian who lived in Canada for 20 years and I recently moved back, I believe its time for me to explore the beauty of India as well.
@@dutcheastindies8354 I realised when the lockdown happened in early 2020 that this was just the beginning, there was no way that the powers to be were going to let this go. I don't want to go into the details but I could have explained this to you better if we were talking face to face. My experience so far is good. I have developed a 25 acre fish farm and business is about to take off, I have worked hard. I never knew the beauty of India because the west had advertised otherwise. I have learnt that we need to find the excitement in these difficult times, find the happiness in uncomfortable situations. Push yourself, the west and the media have potrayed a fake sense of happiness. We need to adapt to these dangerous times and try to be prosperous and industrious and not lose our sense of reality. Small example is that I am working to make money but I am also growing my own organic food. By the way, I spent one year in Rotterdam back in 2010, I really enjoyed myself. The Dutch people are very easy to get along with.
Morning Gabe. (It’s 6.30 here in the UK) I’m only 1:16 in but yaaay! Finally you got those white peaks:D Totally worth the wait😃 I’m looking forward to Rishikesh- have a malai kofta in Chhotiwala for me! Also look at Tapovan for some great places to stay there. It’s a bit away from the action around Laxmanjula but nice and peaceful. Search the littler guesthouses up behind the New Bhandari Swiss Cottage. Really nice spot👍
Unkle , its 2:10 a.m here in Dallas Texas . Cheers . Lucky you being in the UK , I was there was in '93 , did not want to come back to The States . And I'm glad you have wonderful memories of trekking around in the Himalayas . Always wanted to go there but still haven't .
@@jayz2352 top tip- if you turn right out of the back entrance go up the hill a little bit and find the guesthouse the next door: the landlady makes the best damn biryani I’ve *ever* had
Not kedarnath it's badrinath . Rameshwaram , Jagannath Puri ,dwarka and badrinath are the main 4 dhams , these are 4 dhams of uttarakhand ( kedarnath , badrinath , yumunotri and gangotri ).
Hi! Gabriel..... it's nice to see u again in India..... UR 3rd visit isn't it.... 2010, 2015, 2022, & so on..... depressing to see haze, smoke hiding the majestic views of the mighty Himalayas.... call it the evil effects of the green house effect, global warming, human encroachment, fast approaching doomsday etc etc. Today's vlog is the best. U made an error yesterday, instead of coming down to rudraprayag u should have gone to Chamoli frm where there is a bypass route to chopta, tungnath, ukhimath etc joining kund guptkashi connected to the road towards rudraprayag. Lot's of planning required as one miss & the detour is of hundreds of km on treacherous mountain roads.... 15:08 to 15:20, towards the rt. the peaks were Chaukhamba (Chau means four & khamba means pillars, one can see only the three pillars as the fourth one is towards tibet) 6975 to 7138 mtrs... Sumeru 6331 mtrs... Bhrigupanth 6772 mtrs.. Bunder punch 6315 mtrs.... Gangotri group 6611, 6595, 6537 mtrs... Jaunli 6632 mtrs, Swarg Rohini 6196 mtrs. & towards kumaon & hidden.... Neelkanth 6596 mtrs, Hathi Parbat 6628 mtrs, Trishul 7015 mtrs then Nanda Devi etc etc.. the list goes on & on on both sides.... We r lucky to have the mighty majestic Himalayas in UttaraKhand, Himanchal, Kashmir & Nepal, Bhutan.. My best wishes for ur onward journey... The westerly disturbance will certainly douse the forest fires & we all will b entertained by grt vlogs frm our lovely frnd Gabriel... Thanks a lot....
@@lucasfreire8360 I have never visited Kedarnath but I know for a fact that April-june is best time, July-Sept is monsoon time[OK but landslides possible on way] and weather temp reaches 10 degree[50 F] . After that from Oct it comes cold and snow covers around Nov and temple is closed which again opens next year around this time.
Hi Gabriel finally you started seeing peaks of Himalaya. Congrats. You feed a black dog, it consider good in Hinduism. May God bless you and help u to complete your Char Dham journey.
Little bit of correction Nanda Devi is the third tallest mountain of India 1)K2 8611 metres 2)Kangchenjunga 8586 metres 3)Nanda Devi 7816 metres also loving your content.
Visiting the holy shrine of lord Shiva, at the highest point, partly surrounded by the high peaks of the Himalayas, is absolutely an incredible experience. Even I had been there almost two years before in the month of early March, recollecting the memories of footsteps from the same trail which you had been through, was fully covered with snow and after reaching the Chandrashilla top, the view was utterly clear and mesmerizing.
What joy I felt when you viewed the Himalayans. Lucky for the rain and the changes in your journey rewarded you with that view. I have been to the Himalayans and can remember the awe and wonder I felt viewing them, Thanks for enduring Gabe
Hi Gabriel, That was unbelievable what a hike well worth it just breathtaking similar to the dolomites hike which was spectacular in every way. it also looks a bit like the Canadian Rockies' majestic mountains. That temple a thousand years ago must have been a very solemn place with people moving into the mountains has changed the dynamics of the area even though these places are still very sacred and protected.
Extraordinary you have Himalayan temple areas all for yourself - and for us viewers too. Panorama and Himalayan contours of breathtaking experience. No words to share our appreciation and gratitude. Gabriel, you are Messiah on a spiritual journey born to enlighten mankind.
Gabriel, long time fan here. I've read both Following My Thumb, and Your guide to budget travel. I am truly envious of your wanderlust and bravery to travel so abroad. One day I hope to trek through apart of the Himalayas. Some of the best content on UA-cam to date. Keep on trekkin' man.
Gabe, what was the elevation of that final spot where you were sharing the cookies with that dog? Must have been 3-400 hundred feet higher than the temple? Those snowy peaks were worth the effort. Never realized just how big India is until this series. Any chance you might go to Dharamshala?
glad you opted for uttrakhand to explore himalaya's uttrakhand ia raw beauty and a very scared place for hinduism lots & lots of accient temple and history which is very unexplored. plains of india are not even peaked its summer and it is 46 c its a wise option to be in uttrakhand
Hi Gabe: the placement of some of the rocks up on the top reminds me of Manchu Picchu…. Is it so from up close…???? Thanks for sharing these places that the elderly and disabled people can’t go….only a dream for my next life…..❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸
Good to see you catch a glimpse of the mighty himalayas. Waiting for what is about to come next. Of course a Trek to mansarovar lake and mountain Kailash in tibet in the next trip would be great...
Relaxing on mountain top while sharing snacks with that dog was a perfect ending to your video. Love watching your videos and following your adventures through northern India.

Lmao you found a black dog.
Apparently legend says that , when pandavas were on their way for moksha in Himalayas a black dog accompanied them throughout the journey, all of Yudhishthir kin fell down and died in the process (due to their karma, although they were highly virtuous but not free from their sins) , except Yudhishthir and that black dog which was Yama himself (god of death). and yudhishthir insisted Indra (god equivalent to Zeus and Thor) to let him keep the dog with him.
which was ofcourse some kind of test for him to enter the realm.
Yes. Even though Pandavas won they had sinned and it was act of doing penance for their sins for so many killings. So they did not enjoy kingdom but went to penance journey.
Even Lord Krishna had to suffer shrap[curse] of Kauravas mother and he died by arrow . Later his kingdom was also destroyed as all his sons fought themselves [Thats was also part of shrap].
Mahabharata is a real epic which applies today also. It has so many characters depicting so many personality traits that every human behavior can fit into it. Imagine being composed so many thousands of years ago!
Hari , I really hope Gabriel reads your comment
It's she wolf sarama of the Vedas. She is the mother of all the wolves. She and her sons represents dharma. Sons of sarama are gate keepers of Yama who is a God of Dharma. Pandavas encounter with sarama not exactly with the dog. They met dharma at their last journey into the Himalayas. Sarama is a Vahana (carrier) of Kala bairava form of lord Shiva. Dogs are family of sarama (wolf). In ancient times lord Shiva temple has wolves. Sarama represents dharma (righteousness) and intuitive. Sarama holds lamp and walk towards its goal no matter what for truth and dharma.
Himalayas puts life into perspective, they are majestic and magical…….
Beautiful ending....love your videos!
You present some of your best travel moments and experiences. It's positively addicting!
Hi Gabriel! The view of those magnificent mountains gave me goosebumps. It must be an unforgetable experience. Love your videos!
You make excellent videos Gabriel, thank you for your hard work. As an Indian who lived in Canada for 20 years and I recently moved back, I believe its time for me to explore the beauty of India as well.
Welcome back home...... Is the grass really greener on the other side ?😏😏😏
Lol old people come to india lol no need this type of people in india
What brought you to return? And how's your experience so far having moved back?
@@ritaranee4787 The grass is green on all the sides Rita. Everything depends on our outlook and vision for the future.
@@dutcheastindies8354 I realised when the lockdown happened in early 2020 that this was just the beginning, there was no way that the powers to be were going to let this go. I don't want to go into the details but I could have explained this to you better if we were talking face to face.
My experience so far is good. I have developed a 25 acre fish farm and business is about to take off, I have worked hard. I never knew the beauty of India because the west had advertised otherwise. I have learnt that we need to find the excitement in these difficult times, find the happiness in uncomfortable situations. Push yourself, the west and the media have potrayed a fake sense of happiness. We need to adapt to these dangerous times and try to be prosperous and industrious and not lose our sense of reality. Small example is that I am working to make money but I am also growing my own organic food.
By the way, I spent one year in Rotterdam back in 2010, I really enjoyed myself. The Dutch people are very easy to get along with.
Morning Gabe. (It’s 6.30 here in the UK) I’m only 1:16 in but yaaay! Finally you got those white peaks:D Totally worth the wait😃 I’m looking forward to Rishikesh- have a malai kofta in Chhotiwala for me! Also look at Tapovan for some great places to stay there. It’s a bit away from the action around Laxmanjula but nice and peaceful. Search the littler guesthouses up behind the New Bhandari Swiss Cottage. Really nice spot👍
Unkle , its 2:10 a.m here in Dallas Texas . Cheers . Lucky you being in the UK , I was there was in '93 , did not want to come back to The States .
And I'm glad you have wonderful memories of trekking around in the Himalayas . Always wanted to go there but still haven't .
I’m in London uk too I stayed at Bhandari Swiss Cottage in February fantastic
His seeking blessings at bagnath Temple must have done the trick !
@@jayz2352 top tip- if you turn right out of the back entrance go up the hill a little bit and find the guesthouse the next door: the landlady makes the best damn biryani I’ve *ever* had
Excellent video Gabe I enjoyed it very much
Absolutely incredible, Gabe. Beautiful, peaceful place. This is definitely on the list.
10:14 that's Kedarnath temple that's where I'm going this month. hope you visit Kedarnath temple very beautiful places 👍 BTW nice vlog
10:54 The four Dhams are Dwarka , Jagannath Temple , Kedranath & Rameswaram , do a char dham yatra if possible , good for your life.
Not kedarnath it's badrinath .
Rameshwaram , Jagannath Puri ,dwarka and badrinath are the main 4 dhams , these are 4 dhams of uttarakhand ( kedarnath , badrinath , yumunotri and gangotri ).
Nobody asked lol
@@EverythingMusicPro Same with you nobody asked.
@@EverythingMusicPro i asked
That feeding dog part was just amazing.. great shoot… you can use this for DP and testimony 😃😃
so serene...this is what adventure travel means
STUNNING view!!sky not so clear but can't expect more.THANKS!!!
This is so cool. Also a lot more obscure than what you usually see.
Simply wonderful trek up the mountains! ! Pure therapy for the mind, body and spirit! ! Thanks! ✌️
Wow...you got your views, Gabriel. What a magical town. Look forward to your next video 🌻🌷⛵🎺🌟
Finally you uploaded… the crux of entire trip.
The Himalaya range
Hi! Gabriel..... it's nice to see u again in India..... UR 3rd visit isn't it.... 2010, 2015, 2022, & so on..... depressing to see haze, smoke hiding the majestic views of the mighty Himalayas.... call it the evil effects of the green house effect, global warming, human encroachment, fast approaching doomsday etc etc. Today's vlog is the best. U made an error yesterday, instead of coming down to rudraprayag u should have gone to Chamoli frm where there is a bypass route to chopta, tungnath, ukhimath etc joining kund guptkashi connected to the road towards rudraprayag. Lot's of planning required as one miss & the detour is of hundreds of km on treacherous mountain roads.... 15:08 to 15:20, towards the rt. the peaks were Chaukhamba (Chau means four & khamba means pillars, one can see only the three pillars as the fourth one is towards tibet) 6975 to 7138 mtrs... Sumeru 6331 mtrs... Bhrigupanth 6772 mtrs.. Bunder punch 6315 mtrs.... Gangotri group 6611, 6595, 6537 mtrs... Jaunli 6632 mtrs, Swarg Rohini 6196 mtrs. & towards kumaon & hidden.... Neelkanth 6596 mtrs, Hathi Parbat 6628 mtrs, Trishul 7015 mtrs then Nanda Devi etc etc.. the list goes on & on on both sides.... We r lucky to have the mighty majestic Himalayas in UttaraKhand, Himanchal, Kashmir & Nepal, Bhutan.. My best wishes for ur onward journey... The westerly disturbance will certainly douse the forest fires & we all will b entertained by grt vlogs frm our lovely frnd Gabriel... Thanks a lot....
Just magical Gabriel! We did a hike up there and that line of mountains is like no other. Just truly beautiful. PS Loved the ending with the 🐶
17:00 appreciate your hardwork Double times 👍
Thank you Gabe for sharing the great views up there! I couldn't have made it up there in my wheelchair. Magnificent!
I feel like Gabriel really wants to visit the Kedarnath, All the best buddy. I hope you will manage it out.
Someone posted latest image on twitter and it seems they lit up at night also. View at night is stunning. I want to see that if Gabs goes.
@@truthteller2991 Does it snow the whole year in kedarnath or only in one season of the year?
@@lucasfreire8360 I have never visited Kedarnath but I know for a fact that April-june is best time, July-Sept is monsoon time[OK but landslides possible on way] and weather temp reaches 10 degree[50 F] . After that from Oct it comes cold and snow covers around Nov and temple is closed which again opens next year around this time.
You made it!!!
Thanks for taking us with you!
Glad you saw the Himalayas; grateful to have seen them with you.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So glad you got a chance to see those mountains, Gabe. Spectacular views! thanks for sharing
Yeah prayers answered it rained for putting out fires and smoke, great views ahead! Enjoy
A true world traveller, great video yet again
Hi Gabriel finally you started seeing peaks of Himalaya. Congrats. You feed a black dog, it consider good in Hinduism. May God bless you and help u to complete your Char Dham journey.
Wonderful trip vlog. I always dream to climp this peak🙏
Welcome to sanity! Thank you for sharing your travels & the world to us!
Little bit of correction Nanda Devi is the third tallest mountain of India
1)K2 8611 metres
2)Kangchenjunga 8586 metres
3)Nanda Devi 7816 metres
also loving your content.
k2 is in Pakistan..not in india
@@dharmeshnatanta4616
In Pakistan occupied Gilgit and Baltistan that is legally part of India.
kanchanjunga in Nepal only the some base part is in sikkim region
Visiting the holy shrine of lord Shiva, at the highest point, partly surrounded by the high peaks of the Himalayas, is absolutely an incredible experience. Even I had been there almost two years before in the month of early March, recollecting the memories of footsteps from the same trail which you had been through, was fully covered with snow and after reaching the Chandrashilla top, the view was utterly clear and mesmerizing.
Loved that conversation with dog and you both sharing and eating, sitting on top of the tungnath glazing at himalayas
What joy I felt when you viewed the Himalayans. Lucky for the rain and the changes in your journey rewarded you with that view. I have been to the Himalayans and can remember the awe and wonder I felt viewing them, Thanks for enduring Gabe
LOL 😁🤭 The Shiva full sleeve shirt finally came back out of your closet, Gabe, and an Epic Screen Shot @14:40!
Hi Gabriel, That was unbelievable what a hike well worth it just breathtaking similar to the dolomites hike which was spectacular in every way. it also looks a bit like the Canadian Rockies' majestic mountains. That temple a thousand years ago must have been a very solemn place with people moving into the mountains has changed the dynamics of the area even though these places are still very sacred and protected.
The dog and you at the peak at the end was great! Safe Travels Gabe!
Finally! We all got a peek of the Himalayas! Excellent vlog, Gabe. Do visit Kedarnath also.
That temple in the picture to which you referred u wanna go there .. was Kedarnath. ✌🏻🙏🏻
Extraordinary you have Himalayan temple areas all for yourself - and for us viewers too. Panorama and Himalayan contours of breathtaking experience. No words to share our appreciation and gratitude. Gabriel, you are Messiah on a spiritual journey born to enlighten mankind.
Great video Gabe! Very sweet of you to feed the dog at the top of the mountain and thanks for showing us the Shiva temple.
Have been waiting for this amazing video🔥🔥😍😍
Stunning Video❤❤❤!! That is the grandeur of the Himalayas!!!
Gabriel, long time fan here. I've read both Following My Thumb, and Your guide to budget travel. I am truly envious of your wanderlust and bravery to travel so abroad. One day I hope to trek through apart of the Himalayas. Some of the best content on UA-cam to date. Keep on trekkin' man.
Right on, thanks for watching and reading.
Gabe, what was the elevation of that final spot where you were sharing the cookies with that dog? Must have been 3-400 hundred feet higher than the temple? Those snowy peaks were worth the effort. Never realized just how big India is until this series. Any chance you might go to Dharamshala?
I think it's at 4,000 meters or 13,000 feet.
yup India is very large and versatile country.. You can find plus 50 Celsius and -40 degree temp same time in India
3800m to be precise sire.
Welcome to the "Land Of Diversity" 🦚🇮🇳🙏
@utahsalvation no to chennai, either Mumbai, new Delhi or Bangalore is the way to go
Watching your India series. Great vlog
What beautiful sights Gabriel 😃😎🙌☀️❤ thank you for sharing ❤ 😊
Thank you for sharing your cookies with that doggy 😌 reall nice of you.
Lovely view really worth the journey.
The quiet and solitude was amazing...Very meditative. You have these very precious moments Gabe.
Gorgeous views. Nice of you to share your cookies
The last scene was epic. Your kindness towards the dog was really amazing. Nice vlog! Great presentation.
7:31 "Thanks, Mom!!!" How cute 😀😊
That snowy temple is Kedarnath.
After a long I am watching vlogs that I really liked a lot. Your videos are highly satisfactory. Never stop!
Great your trips!!! Really you are doing my job. Traveling around that places. Im enjoying from here watching you .
glad you opted for uttrakhand to explore himalaya's uttrakhand ia raw beauty and a very scared place for hinduism lots & lots of accient temple and history which is very unexplored. plains of india are not even peaked its summer and it is 46 c its a wise option to be in uttrakhand
I been there too in December 2020 and climbed upto the height of 3000 mt to the chandrashilla peak
I been there 3 July didn't make to chandrishalla due to heavy raining but blessed to see the tungnath temple
Hi Gabe: the placement of some of the rocks up on the top reminds me of Manchu Picchu…. Is it so from up close…????
Thanks for sharing these places that the elderly and disabled people can’t go….only a dream for my next life…..❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸
Most probably the rock stack is for marking path. In winter this whole mountain would be under snow.
Good to see you catch a glimpse of the mighty himalayas. Waiting for what is about to come next. Of course a Trek to mansarovar lake and mountain Kailash in tibet in the next trip would be great...
