    Like your style, dude - no artificial drama nor corny ‘jokes’ to own the libs, just show the terrain and a glimpse of the lifestyle, give some facts, and let the viewer reach their own conclusions.
    As they say, different strokes…and likely a more mature/older audience. Well done.

    I watched your video 4 weeks ago before I flew there myself. When I first watched your video, I was still thinking, "Oh God, what have I gotten myself into?"
    I had never been on a vacation like this before in my life, been there for 3 weeks now, and I've been back home since last Thursday.
    I can say without a doubt that this trip was the best thing I have done in many years.
    I recognized many of the places in your video now watching it again.
    The whole vacation was indescribably beautiful.
    The people, the nature and (even) the food.
    It's like another world for a German, like me.

    This video I keep coming back to and it makes me happy every time! I keep looking forward to going to the Himalayas myself, and it looks like that might happen later this year. Until then, just wanted to say what a wonderful guide you've made, and that you've given this place the justice it deserves, without editing the sound and adding music over. You brought these mountains closer to the viewer. :) Keep it up Gabriel, hope to see more treks from you in this region in the future!

    Dude i found your channel yesterday and you just keep walking the exact same footsteps i did in India and Nepal. The Goa, Gokarna, Hampi episode and now the Langtang trail is basically reliving my journey with you as a travel buddy :) Thank you very much for this! Sadly it looks like one of the lodges where we stayed just below Langtang Village does not exist anymore still hoping the lovely Pema and his Family are alive. But happy to see other familiar faces still alive. Keep exploring :)

    I am pretty sure Nepal will be the next country I visit in the area. I could easily spend a few months there just wandering. After over a year being trapped on an island in the cold north and still snowing its slowly killing me not being able to move. Just sort of spoiled like yourself traveling everywhere. It is not a life for most people but in my case I feel blessed.

    All the people you met seemed to be wonderful, loving people. Isn't it amazing how they all speak at least a little English. We are so lucky when we travel that so many people speak English. So sad about the village being buried by the earthquake, and landslide.
