I just loved that there was comparatively less honking on the roads of Sikkim. It is true in all of the North East Indian States. I hope other states and it's people learn from them. Absolutely loving this series. Cheers from Mumbai, Western India ❤️💜💚

Classic “Tall Westerner in Asia” moment with that lady trying to squeeze in next to you with her huge bags!

It's been 4 months since we visited Gangtok and Sikkim it's one of the best places I've ever been . And the MG road has given me Korean vibe . ✨❤️

[bengong]

Gangtok is definitely a much nicer place than most you have videoed in India. Enjoyed it tremendously. Thanks!

[microsatellites]

[reenarai]

Did you see that sign around 9:18- "No horn zone ". Gangtok - My kinds town !

[AnirbanDas]

Gangtok looks amazing! It's probably the only capital city in India so clean, quiet, and no beeping. BTW, it's snowing all over the mountains now.

Sikkim also known as a organic state of India. All vegitable and fruits products ar organic. And sikkim state also very clean. State capital city is gangtok.if any foreigners comes to sikkim they need ILP(Iner line permit)just come to India and come Siliguri SNT office in West Bengal to get ILP. It's very easy process. you can reach Siliguri Bagdogra airport by flight from Delhi international airport Mumbai international airport Kolkata international airport or by train. Nearest international airport is Kolkata international airport. You can direct flights from Kolkata to Dubai Doha Abu Dhabi Bangkok Singapore Kuala Lumpur etc.

I would of traveled all that way for the Thukpa too, it looked great, hope the clouds clear and you get to see the mountains soon…thank you for a great series, loving this one ❤️ 🇮🇳 from 🇬🇧

Hi Gabe, For some remote places/treks/visits in sikkim, if you find an another foreigner then you can get the permit to go. All you need to do is just go to any trek/trip organiser shop and tell them your plan and they will help you with everything. I really want you to go to the best places of Sikkim and enjoy the beautiful and almost Tibet like state. The shop will help you find a foreigner and also a guide and the best part is they also allow you the freedom and the guide is not like just sticking to you. Please enjoy and have an amazing sikkim trip.

Thanks for another fascinating video. I just want to say your camera work on your travels is exceptional. Your camera work always makes sure your viewers are the first to discover what you are seeing by giving them the first view, and then you taking the second view for yourself. You have always done this on your videos. Also, thank for sharing the local cost of meals, taxis, snacks, hotels, and travel items. I may never have an opportunity to visit the places you travel, but by watching your videos, I feel I know something about what it might be like to actually visit or live in each place, including what it must be like to pay for things there, communicate with the locals, order a bowl of soup, and use a bus or taxi. Also, you always seem to find the best bowl of soup in town!

Hi Gabriel. I am David from Sydney, Australia. Love your clips. Just wanted to tell you that I was in India in Dec 2022 - Delhi, Orchha & Khajuraho. I have been watching your clips with much intertest and noticed that when you stayed in Khajuraho, that you stayed in the Hotel Isabel Palace. After seeing your clip, I realised that you infact stayed in Room 212. The same room that I stayed in, back in Dec 2022. With the lovely verandah, surrounded with banana trees, the little room off the verandah with lovely designs in the dividing walls and 2 twin beds pushed together. I am really blown away by this. I loved Orchha the most. Please keep up your most interesting journeys. Keep safe. Best wishes, David.

Gabe with the effin content. The whole NE India is such a cool and unknown region.

[goostrey]

Another great video. It's good that you show us a bit of the sausage factory... 48 clips needed editing into this! It makes your rate of video production all the more amazing. Glad that you can work with a warm soup and a glass of wine. It's pretty shocking how Pizza Hut and all the other chains are so visible in Gangtok. Glad that Tibetan classics are still offered, though.
