Gateway to the Ganges: India's Holy Cities [Rishikesh, Devprayag, Haridwar]

Happy Holi, India!

i think what alot of these huge youtuber creators/filmmakers on this platform lack in their travel content is the ability to tell a story and a true one of the places they visit. u got these dudes doing back flips and perched up on mountains looking cool, then you have what you create which i truly think is art. im not here to ask u a bunch of questions about equipment. i just want to say how much i admire your work. your ability to truly show the essence of a place and capture the beauty in it all is unreal. it feels raw yet the editing techniques add a new flare. well done Brandon!

continuity, story telling, transitions, sounds, its all perfect! Finally! Film making isnt about transitions. Love it!!

Love from India.

Hi Brandon thanks for this beautifully created video. While I was in North India few years ago I have traveled to all those three places that you have mentioned. Whenever I think of the river Ganges and the city, Haridwar in specific, the first things that come to my mind is the Kumbh Mela. Kumbh Mela is a mass Hindu pilgrimages of faith in which Hindus gather to bathe in a sacred river Ganges. It is the world's largest religious gathering. It is held every third year at one of the four places by rotation: Haridwar, Allahabad (Prayag), Nasik and Ujjain. I would suggest you to making documentaries or videos of this pilgrims, devotees and the gathering. I bet it'll be one of the best. Regards!

Amazing as always Brandon.

My country is looking more beautiful form your eyes ❤ You are truly an inspiration for small filmmakers 🙏 Love form #India 🇮

Q. What's the difference between a guy with a camera and an artist? A. This.

Man, you're stuff is always inspiring! Great work bro!

You're videos are amazing. Keeps me entertained throughout the whole video. Your sound effects, scene changes, transitions!!! All so amazing! Looking forward to more

This is amazing work ....a true masterpiece ; you my friend in a whole different level.

Awesome man, this film is one of my inspirations for becoming a nomadic film maker. Thanks Brandon.

Incredible as always. I love how you respect the people you film and how you seem to always portray them in a honest way.

So glad you posted this to youtube, It deserves even more recognition than it already has. Beautifully shot and edited. I love the story it tells. Great work!

Absolutely exquisite. So well shot and, in particular, edited.

Your work is truly inspirational. Many videos from peoples travels are cool looking and maybe have a few things that are interesting to see, however, your videos suck me into the world that you are capturing from beginning to end. When you don't want to blink in fear of missing something, that is when you know someones work is phenomenal. Cheers! ~ Gabriel

I've watched this over and over and keep coming back to it. It's like a classic album, you notice something different every time. It's like a masterclass in everything for film making. Just epic!

IMO you are the best sound editor on YT. You really show how sounds can enhance and add texture to images. Love your vids man, keep up the great work!

The way you compose your story through this perfect symbiosis of sound and image is truly outstanding. I really felt the intensity of the city and then the calm of the mountains, couldn't stop watching and that's how it's supposed to be. I really admire your work, great job!

One of the best short travel video's I've seen on YouTube, this is pure art. You captured the place you visited so good. Huge inspiration :)
