First Visit to Nepal!! The Home Of a Living Goddess
Nepal a land of friendly faces Majestic mountaintops and delicious Dal Bhat after exploring both India and Bangladesh my time has come to take in this incredible and highly recommended part of the world so we took a flight from Dhaka to Kathmandu to see what all the fuss is about this is cool the weather is nice I like it in this video we'll say hi to some locals sample some Nepali tea dig into some dalbot and climb our way to the best Viewpoint in this beautiful city the pool is beautiful all right hello or Namaste from here in Kathmandu in Nepal it is my first time here in Nepal I'm so excited to be here and to finally explore this beautiful country hello hello good start good start and then we can't go this way a lot of construction made it so we're just walking through here and already a massive sort of Temple just in the middle of this little square here it's really cool I'm loving the Vibes here in Nepal in Kathmandu already I don't know we've come from three months in India a few days in Bangladesh I like it here I like it she's like yelling out to him he's like yelling I'm all right he's like yelling out to him and like telling him and he looks like he's like teaching you how to build it or something I don't know I don't know what they're saying so we are no stranger to a market like we've been in markets a lot of places this one's really cool because you've got all like your shoes your shirts everything like that like you would find in any other Market but the scenery in this one and here just looks really cool I know there's something cool about it with these tall buildings these Cobblestone floors it just looks really picturesque and really pretty and it's different to other markets we've seen yeah in India and Southeast Asia because Nepal's never colonized right so it's it's traditional architecture it's natural architecture so on the way through we found ourselves in the middle of this massive Market sort of square area this is cool what did you say we have a specific way to go which is down that one but every time I turn and look there's something else straight looks cooler than the other look at that shiny one down there oh yeah all right how pretty how pretty is this street you've got all these beautiful like decorations like tinsel above us you've got all these cool like gold things little trinkets to buy wow this is awesome so there's one thing I would love to get from Nepal and that's a set of my own prayer Flags just so I can have them at home and like keep them forever so let's see if we can buy some today we're gonna have a look down here if not we might have to go buy them a little bit later in the video um back maybe where we're staying I was just in India for three months and I loved tea or they call it chai in Hindi so tell me what tea is called here but I need one of them I'm going to try what they like in Nepal see if there is one hi tea could I have one thank you how much 30. okay just one yes it's in like a pot over like a strainer kind of more similar to India than Bangladesh so far yeah all right you take what are they fives still getting the use of the different monies is just like crazy oh thank you like I'm not gonna fall it's really hot it smells like because it's got the spices sort of on the top it smells like spicy it's not not chili spice just like herb spices flavor spice that's so good definitely not like the tea that we had in Bangladesh it's more like the Indian chai that you have that we had for three months that's really nice it's sweet it's like creamy like kind of like milky creamy and it's a big it's a pretty big cup it says 150 ml and it's like full I really I really like this one I wonder what they call it it's not called chai do you call this is it just tea yes is it chai or tea please try okay try oh thank you I thought it tasted like chai oh it's really good yeah you try it okay it will help me oh it's different it tastes different it's nice it's good so hi there how are you you're good that's good so sitting here feels very peaceful it's really cool um I think my aim to have made a friend I think my aim to have a coffee in every country is maybe turned to a chai or a tea in every country so bye okay thank you okay so we just made it to Derby Square thank you so much thank you so good thank you so I have noticed that there is a lot of people wanting to be a taxi driver in your guide here which is fair enough because there's so many people who would come here for like Everest and stuff right so it is a popular tourist destination all these birds and one of them just pooped on me rude I'm gonna put it in the bin oh I just yeah you're a dumb [ __ ] for that third pun intended no thank you no thank you I don't want to buy anything oh I just put it on my face I'm over this what are you doing oh stop it it's not the part with the poo on it on my face I haven't got a good track record if you're new to my channel I'm kind of more of a like experience in the moment when I get here have a look at it kind of person I'm not really a educational Channel but I do know that this is a UNESCO world heritage site so Derma square is protected by world heritage it's also built between the I think 12th and 18th century which is pretty cool so it's obviously super super old it's home to a lot of things but one of them is the living goddess and I think and correct me if I'm wrong again I do not claim to know everything or even anything for that matter so I think there's a child when they're two I think they get named as the living goddess I think they find a new one when they're six so every four years it gets changed to a new living goddess and it's a living child and they believe that that's the living goddess I know that that's not that much information but that's pretty interesting to me so apparently that's the thing here but I don't think you can film them this is obviously a really old and interesting square or we've been to India at other places that were colonized but this looks completely different because it wasn't um so you can see the sort of like original architecture picture from the people here without any other influence which I find really interesting it does look different it looks different to anything that we've seen oh I've missed it but we've been asked for a guide probably 10 times I keep I keep missing it from camera so yes you know so much things thank you very from by the way please go yes but there's a lot of people asking a lot of people on the hustle for a guide to guide tourists around um we don't like to do that um but this guy's getting absolutely harassed back there by him I've been watching him for like 10 minutes this guy will not leave him alone and I heard him say if you like the price if you're happy I'm happy if anyone ever says that to you I'm giving you I'm telling you right now Ram so it's 154 this Tech what's that which I'm assuming is like English India Bangladesh um Sri Lanka maybe I'm assuming it's those other countries so that's 150 Nepalese rupee but four casters like a thousand and I'm assuming that locals are free because people are just feeding pigeons and sitting in there I can't imagine you'd pay to go in just to do that every day I don't know but there's places in there that they're still rebuilding the structures so obviously the devastating earthquakes that happened in 2015 I believe some of the things it's been being rebuilt I think it's definitely gone and still is under a period of sort of reconstruction um from the devastation I remember that all over even in Australia there were so many fundraisers from the earthquakes in Nepal so yeah if I got to Australia it was obviously massive and devastating okay so we're just here waiting for a Patel which is the app kind of like Uber or Ola we use this one in Bangladesh but basically it just gives you a price and it kind of changes along the way um so you offer a price or they accept Mr Price or they offer a price and then along the way depending on traffic I believe I don't know sometimes the price just goes up at the end but um we're waiting for this guy to get us and then we're gonna go to the temple hi Namaste what's your name Robin we're on the way to the monkey temple the name I actually can't pronounce I'll put it on the screen um we're heading there now now I feel really bad because I'm not my usual self today I'm feeling a little bit under the weather um so I'm not gonna climb the stairs I'm just gonna get a car to the top I'll show you it and then I'll probably walk down the stairs I don't feel up to walking up the stairs today but you can at this Temple I'm missing them but there's so many monkeys just in the side of us when we're driving up a little bit in there oh that's a dog that's a dog yeah you can have the 500. all right thank you the salt country tourist was the 50 Nepalese rupees and Ours from other countries is 200 and for these rupees I know I saw it but I'm trying to figure out why everyone's throwing Queens is it like a wishing well or something anyway the monkey's just running around so I'm not scared of monkeys I'm scared of them like taking my stuff if that makes sense so I'm a little bit on the Edge at the moment namaste can I have one sec so I watched and everyone else got a whole stack and I only got four for the same amount of money anyway I almost got it oh I got it I don't know what it means but I got it okay so I got one in the pot can someone please tell me what that means I'm gonna go give it to someone oh wait come back you know what okay okay do you want to throw this off for you put in there so we're heading up the stairs now like I said we cut out half of them by taking the car here so you can do the whole way not feeling optimal on my best this is not oh wow this is not what I want to do today and then I say things like this this is stunning so up here you have all of these tourist souvenirs necklaces some animals bracelets just a very small frog I can't see just big progress yeah Michael's mom loves frogs thank you so much done your bud so I don't get it on camera but I've met probably like what seven families today that um saw me in India all right so we just got to the top where the stupa is under construction but for size reference Michael's been to Myanmar I always compare Buddhist stupas to sort of in Myanmar because it's like for lack of a better term the Holy Grail right and of like Buddha's temples to go to and this is beautiful it's really complicated probably probably maybe 50 times the size of this island 50 times so Michael just told me and pointed out I didn't actually notice it on the side of this is like turn I don't know what you call it the hey things that turn Okay Michael's gonna google it we're gonna call it a prayer wheel I don't know it's it's made of like looks like tin or metal or something Michael's telling me that you walk around in a clockwise direction do you know why clockwise or is that just the double I don't know why there's nothing wrong if you'll notice you'll see that there's people who have been walking around multiple times foreign and then of course at the top of any of these things there's a lookout and they're the stairs that I think we missed coming up here right there Michael just heard that we're surrounded basically by mountains and we are like everywhere we look there's like a bigger city than I expected and it Mounds along the side Nepal is Nepal is beautiful really beautiful monkeys monkeys monkeys hi do you have water water is it Kitty Pizza how much 35 25 could we get one please okay is it cold or not a little bit not so much not so much yeah it's okay is it fairy weapons like why yeah thank you thank you we're gonna take the stairs down because we didn't take them up I feel a little bit better taking them down um because I don't feel very well puppies over there yeah all right so we're just waiting for a car to take us back and we're gonna go to an area called I think it's Tamil or Tamil so when we get there I'm hoping to find some bell Bart and try some of that here as well [Music] um restaurant Nepali dalbot that's what we want that's all we want let's get some local food shall we oh awesome all right so we've got sets Namaste I was just after some uh dalbot yeah we have uh yeah all kind of set yeah let's just share do you want to do chicken chicken chicken yeah chicken's good okay is it spicy can I have not a lot oh little little bit thank you what just happened I saw it happen you saw her what it just went boom oh no it was on that was it maybe it was hot oh thank you thank you right going through learning 10 of the regional languages in India and then what Bengali and now a little bit of Nepali my brain is getting very confused so I'm trying my best thank you do I eat with my hands or with this yes with my hands thank you that's okay eat with my hands or Fork would I like okay thank you so we've got a big silver plate of Del bar so it's just like a mixture of the local things I believe actually I've noticed since being in Nepal they all have this like Bendy straw thing I love that I don't know why we have a um a couple of bowls here this one looks like uh like lentils like a lentil kind of soup this one kind of looks like potatoes or like some kind of like cut vegetable thing this one just looks like a whole bunch of greens it looks like chips but it's obviously not chips I don't think and then you've got a little bit of sauce which looks red so red scares me it might be spicy if you're new to my channel I don't do well with spice and then you've got the meat here in this spoon we ordered chicken and then a whole bunch of rice in the inside I'll definitely be using this I think white yogurt neutralizer sauce a little bit of the potato let's give this a go maybe a bit of the doll and I have a big spoonful of all the different kinds of fruits oh more oh yeah I'll have a little bit a little bit yeah yeah that's enough even that like potato type mixture is spicy I got a whole bunch of that like spinach really soft nice food and the potato itself The Taste is good the spice is gonna be but it tastes good though it's okay that chicken is really soft that's really good it's spicy there but it's really good I want Michael's opinion on the food because he can take much more spice than I can oh it works oh I'm okay thank you though this is nice sugar it's super soft it looks really nice chicken's nice which is nice having up the grains yet I'll have them last the taste of the food is making me keep eating it anyway uh how much would they uh 660 minutes 664 everything okay the money's so colorful 660 is that right count it just in case I don't want to get it wrong that was a cool place to eat if you're ever around Kathmandu come to Om Restaurant they were so friendly and so nice and the food was good I just am very weak with spice so that was really nice they were lovely we are in a touristy part we're in Tamil right now so it is very touristy so it does make sense that they're having some bit more cafes than usual to cater to westerners and other Travelers but this area is kind of known as they call it a backpack as ghetto or a traveler's ghetto this one koala he knows koala hello Namaste we're just looking in a camera shop because I need uh well this is broken we both use this for Michael uses the GoPro for his channel and then I have a second Channel um called jestro see I'll link in the description bar below and I kind of just do more local like casual things but this is like broken it doesn't stay well I think that's a better option that's right if you ever have a GoPro you need a longer lasting batteries I'll tell you that much Michael wants a little awesome thing from the show you different qualities yeah awesome this one will cost you just 400 rupees okay this one will cost you 800 rupees so I like the idea of the crack face like we have different uh designs okay so the ohm and the wisdom this this star represents wisdom the symbol of wisdom oh yeah the staff yeah okay and this represents sun and this is the mandala and this part represents the purification purification right okay so you got the Sun the OM the energy a little bit of energy in my life we got this one perfect thank you so much yeah you have a good day thank you so much all right we got Michael's um painting and now I'm gonna get my PreFlight hopefully oh yeah I just have a look at this oh so small medium large t-shirt fine hello he was speaking in Hindu to me that's why I spoke to him back I missed it ready for a chocolate in that dog's mouth with the wrapper on he didn't eat the chocolate but can we just carry he was just carrying the chocolate for him that was so cute so Michael's buying a drink but I just wanted to talk about these prayer flags for a second and why I actually wanted them but it would be really cool if one day um I could do base camp or climb a little bit of Everest I don't want to obviously climb the whole thing I don't have that much money um I know that they're all at the top of the mountains and hills and all along the way I actually broke my back about five years ago um so since then like physical activities and things like that are a lot harder for me than they used to be so I'm not in a position right now where I think I could physically climb um but I'm hoping that one day I can be and I'm gonna keep these with me um as maybe some motivation or a reminder of the things that I can hopefully do again one day okay well good first day so far that's for sure pretty cool I really like it after India's India's been great Bangladesh was great but after sort of so much chaos in those places yeah but you get more relaxed you get so used to the chaos that you don't notice the constant noise then you come here and it's like oh this is quiet yeah you're right before we go in we have to respect the sign please do not destroy okay that is so cute he's super cute thank you so you come in and you've got like this little like area I've got my bag everywhere so don't worry about that obviously we're staying here and then the bed is massive it's not very comfortable I will be honest and then we have this sort of separate room over this side which has like a little couch and like a coffee table which goes into a desk um and then into a lot of another little one or another the only bathroom that we have the bathroom which is also pretty good it's a wet room no complaints everywhere in Nepal has a wet room so no complaints really I can't wait to see more of Nepal next time I will taste more of its food and meet even more people subscribe to see that one next or if you're watching this in the future it's already on the screen for you to watch right now I can already tell this will be a trick to remember foreign
