Rajasthan, India: Epic Biking Adventure in the Thar Desert 

If you would like to see much more of India, take a look at another video about my incredible bus trip into the beautiful Himalayas of northern India: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HH9RtNFOrk8.html

While most Indians are moving away from the traditional Indian greetings such as "Namaskar and Namaste" it is so nice to hear this greetings from non-Indians and when Indians hear this from foreigners THEY JUST GET SO DELIGHTED and It really DOES NOT matter which one you use.

I understand one thing here. I need to clean my country.

Once again the Oscar goes to Gabriel Morris for best screenplay. Yaaa! Clap! Clap!Clap! Speech! Speech! Nice work!

Awesome video, I am an Indian from Kerala and I am learning about India through you 👍👍

Dear Gabriel, I believe I am not alone in what I am going to say, but I have been sick for quite some months and I have found your videos as a window to feeling better and freedom. Thanks for the optimism and good vibes

Number one traveler on RU-vid!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING bro!! Can't wait to make India!! Safe travels!!

Welcome to India Gabriel..

Loved this video. Thoroughly enjoyed your bicycling trip to offbeat places in the Thar Learned a lot from you.

The most well-known story is probably the one taken from the Shiva Purana. Goddess Parvati had started preparing for a bath. As she didn’t want to be disturbed during her bath and since Nandi was not at Kailash to keep guard of the door, Goddess Parvati took the turmeric paste (for bathing) from her body and made a form of a boy and breathed life into him. This boy was instructed by Goddess Parvati to guard the door and to not let anyone in till she finished her bath. After Lord Shiva had come out of his meditation,he wanted to go and see Parvati but found himself being stopped by this strange boy. Shiva tried to reason with the boy saying that he was Parvati's husband but the boy did not listen and was determined to not let Shiva enter till his mother Goddess Parvati finished her bath. The boy's behaviour surprised Shiva. Sensing that this was no ordinary boy, the usually peaceful Shiva decided he would have to fight the boy and in his divine fury severed the boy's head with his Trishul thereby killing him instantly. When Parvati learned of this, she was so enraged and insulted that she decided to destroy the entire Creation. At her call, she summoned all of her ferocious multi-armed forms, the Yoginis arose from her body and threatened to destroy all. Lord Brahma, being the Creator, naturally had his issues with this, and pleaded that she reconsider her drastic plan. She said she would, but only if two conditions were met: one, that the boy be brought back to life, and two, that he be forever worshipped before all the other gods. Shiva, having cooled down by this time, agreed to Parvati’s conditions. He sent his Shiva-dutas out with orders to bring back the head of the first creature that is lying dead with its head facing North. The Shiva-dutas soon returned with the head of a strong and powerful elephant Gajasura which Lord Brahma placed onto boy's body. Breathing new life into him, he was declared as Gajanana and gave him the status of being foremost among the gods, and leader of all the ganas (classes of beings), Ganapati.

Very cool adventure. Simple but quite beautiful. Hopefully you tipped that young couple well at that lonely cafe. They seemed very nice. Safe travels.

Very awesome video ! Just so many great videos on this channel of yours ! Thank you so much for taking me to places I will never be able to go & see! I really enjoy watching them all! Take care & stay safe out there!

I never want your India tours to stop!

One of your best videos ever, if not the best

Off the beaten track why I love these videos

Superb sir....I hope you enjoyed Rajasthan Trip.

One of your best videos, Gabriel! I'm so glad you're off the beaten path ! Stay safe.

GABE you're definitely a back roads traveler, bus rider, mountain biker and this is the liveliest I've seen you in a good while even though this was four years ago. Keep doing your best. Incredible India 🇮🇳 ki jai!

Another brilliant video. Really enjoyed this one.

Always enjoyable to watch 👌

Amazing I admire your courage..

Yap! Enjoyed it. Thumbs up

That looks so cool , all the different animals wandering around and people just chillin out

The lady said- photo khichvadi; meaning- taking a photo of youself?

Your real explorer going in depth of peoples living, Like it

You are awesome buddy and more than that gutsy... Luv your videos... 😘

Epic capture. Truly Indian ,Vintage Gabe !

That was a really cool and different way from yourself to see the countryside. I love riding, it's so free and open, you get to really take in what you are seeing, what is happening.

Thanks for the bike view. It's a nice change.

I lived in pushkar for some time, and i took this road many times. I love the way Gabriel shoots everything. Brings back many memories

Loved this one, such a unique experience.. Wont find many videos of people exploring this place like this!

The effort you put in this video is inspiring.

U r best traveler.. One of ur nice video.....

Love it! Thanks!

You mix very easily with local people. It is very necessary quality for a global traveler. Really you are a great and lucky traveler.

Oh wow this guys speek very well...👌👌👌

Wow you found the true India my man... u r the real traveler

interesting. thanks for taking us there. people seem to be quite friendly. your videos r getting funnier I like it.

Very very good! Fantastic I like

I am from Rajasthan India , so nice captured by rural Rajasthan. Thanks. Namskar

Nice coverage and information. Thanks

I cycled the whole golden triangle. It was fascinating!!! Great Video Gabe.

Great to watch

Pushkar falls in outer stretch of Thar or semi arid/semi desert zone of Rajasthan thats why you can find more trees and vegetation. Real Thar is in Jaisalmer or Jodhpur where sand dunes are most prominent which I know you have been to and know very well. Great video work.

9:35 Ahh, the road less traveled. Go for it:))

Great video!! I really enjoyed seeing what is outside the bustle of the town/city. It actually looked similar to a lot of the California deserts. I just bought my plane ticket for India tonight and this got me even more ready to go. Thanks and keep up the good work!!

Good one!

Gabriel I really like your video thanks for the effort it must have been exhausted for you on a bicycle but it was totally worth it thanks for showing us around rajasthan

Thank you Brother for showing True villages and temples of Marwad. I too enjoyed.

Thank you so much for coming Rajasthan

Good video, welcome here in India

Well done. Mr. Gabriel we had a nice pushkar trip with you. You are really a modern huanseng.

Thats epic Gabes! Definitely have to rent a bike when im over there

strong man.i see your complete video .nice video

A lot better than the crowded parts of India. Amazing video as always!

I'm knackered just watching, never mind cycling 😂 You need to buy some GoPro accessories Gabriel like a bike holder although on the roads it might be too bumpy! Great video! 👍🏻🇮🇳

Been following you since your Cusco trip and you've really come on with this. You're more confident in front of camera and interacting with people etc. It's great to see. Good to see your views going up to. Keep safe on the road dude. Thumbs up from me.

Excellent!

Dude I dig your style...raw as should be for India

It is beautiful countryside. Thanks

Love the way you narrated the Ganesh story. I laughed really hard.

Wow! It's so nice video

Love this video😍😍 😘😘

You can say 'Namaste' and fold your hands in Namaste posture and people any where in India understands. It literally means "God in me honors God in you" or 'I respect the divinity' in you and it comes from the basic philosophy of vedanta that divinity is manifesting itself through every one of us and everything in God's creation is holy

Hats off for the riding skills 😂👌👌👌👌👌

Looks awesome 😎

Superb

I love this type videos

Thanks Bro. Lovely india

Lovely video..

bro......you are awesome!!!!!! i am really enjoying

Very good travel video.

That's great man,enjoy,this is how one should travel,i went rajasthan in the starting of this year with my friends on a road trip,we covered almost whole rajasthan and we took all off beat routes,traveling inside the interiors of the state ,such experience gets more thrilling when you head from bikaner to jaiselmerb,taki.g offbeat roads

Great endeavour!All wishes from Kerala,thank you.

Love the bike ride!

Nice you are doing very well that is real India Indian 70% lives in village with peace and respect

I am an indian I live in kolkata I see outside kolkata by your video You are awesome You have heavy energy Continue bro.

Amazing! You r fearless and a daredevil! Yr videos in India drew me in & I ended up bingewatching a lot of yr videos old and new as I was born in India & moved abroad & did not get to see India the way u hv so it was a fascinating journey I took with u as much as I hv enjoyed the food vloggers Trevor James & Mark Weins tasting Indian food in various places in India! U also take the time to explain which is nice & r not afraid to venture into the unknown very often somewhat unplanned & spontaneous with a relentless drive for adventure & endless curiosity and sense of wonder in exploring our world as well as yr luv of nature with a very observant eye! I am partial to yr videos of India though!

Great good awesome brother keep it up

Awesome !

Epic video and views

i like that video.....from India my favorite country

Amazing trip bro....

You really works so hard to get the touch of root village culture.

I love this video! I really missed your biking adventures when you've been to Europe, because in Europa there are so many cool biking trails! I did a biking tour at the Hel peninsula in Poland in august and did a tour at the island of Aegina in Greece inspired by you! Love these biking videos!
