This Is How Nepalis Welcome You In The Mountains
good afternoon from Kathmandu today I'm actually leaving the city for the very first time since I arrived here we are going on a little adventure to a place that is like 45 minutes outside of the town I am very excited very curious for that and I'm looking for my Taxi oh I have a taxi already ah I call a taxi already nine five two let me see maybe he's on the other side Ah that's you ah ah there he is yesterday I spoke with him already and he said he can bring me there and take me back later hello okay can I sit here I want to see the city I want to be careful with the door namaste your confusion that's why I sent a taxi number of the company ah the number is here yeah you can see the number in the back oh okay okay ah okay um uh what is your name my name is you didn't find Enough by yourself I have your number yeah but what's your name okay yes yes okay nice to meet you my first time leaving Kathmandu really excited oh the traffic is not too bad at the moment okay and then uh you

finish after Sunset oh okay we came back okay very good yeah yeah negotiating the terms before yeah because yeah I would like to stay at the destination for Sunset which is in Sunset is on uh around six people yeah after six yeah so that's like two two and a half hours yeah uh-huh also is it a cold up there no yeah for you not gold okay but I have a jacket with me in case it gets colder because here we're going to the mountains actually that oh I just learned something very interesting from him about Nepal today is a Sunday so I was asking him if it will be busy there because it's a holiday a Sunday but he told me that Sunday is working day in Nepal so they have different weekends here so the weekend here is Friday and Saturday oh actually there are some states in Malaysia as well that have the same system if I remember correctly it was on the east coast of Malaysia some states that have this system as well that the weekend is Friday and Saturday and not as commonly known Saturday Sunday so regular working day okay that maybe explains why we have traffic here now what time is um the traffic usually very bad from 3 30 to 6 6 P.M every people they are going to back to the home that's why yeah it was 7 30 is in less traffic okay okay so the usual rush hour timer this looks almost like like a highway Ring Road wow a lot of honking here uh police here stopping the bus so now we are leaving Kathmandu but we had we are now on the ring route okay okay around 32 32 I'll be back in one minute I want to make a quick stop to buy something today like a water or something Namaste we have small water only the big one no small no uh okay can I get a two maybe I get one bottle for my driver as well how much is it 25. 50 oh don't need a bag that's okay just like this thank you very much thank you much thank you very much okay now I think I have enough water for the day I bought one water for you well uh okay now you know we have to I think today is a good day for Sunset yeah yeah yeah that's what I'm really looking forward good deal you can see yeah in the sunset I saw some pictures of the sunset here on Google Maps looked absolutely amazing so I'm really looking forward to that so you can see I'm just parking over the parking is just where you you have to come to the base table you will be there yes okay okay I will be back after sunset or the water is too big for my bag my back is so full already yeah yeah okay thank you very much see you later on your age we have arrived and yeah we are going to take the cable car to go yeah really high on the mountain I think he just told me if I remember correct uh it's two and a half thousand meter above sea level up there and we already have a first beautiful view right here over the the valley here Kathmandu and these are probably some outskirts of Kathmandu wow so I'm really looking forward to the Views up there let's see I need a ticket here ticket counter one way both ways oh it has a different price Nepalese and for Chinese and for foreigners why is the category separate between Chinese and foreigners I want Chinese people also following us here Foreigner price please oh it's a two-way right two-way yes please I can pay with a card as well all right I got a return ticket now for 2 494 which uh yeah should be both as 22 dollars um okay let's check it out I am very excited it's my first time since a while that I am taking a cable car that's the entrance up here I think so but nobody knew um the last time I took a cable car was in Malaysia in 2020 Langkawi Island maybe some of my longtime viewers still remember that video I think it was the steepest cable car in Southeast Asia doesn't look too busy here which is good so no no waiting cues yeah I just I was expecting it to be busy because I thought today is a Sunday so um a day off for all the locals but yeah as we just learned today is not a weekend here yes I'm here all right getting one just for myself oh okay yeah I am not the best when it comes to Heights I'm not really scared of heights but I'm also not super comfortable with Heights so yeah let's see how scary this actually is and I think I asked him in the taxi I think he said oh it's actually very fast I think he said it's going to be like a 15 right and or maybe I can sit here so you can see the view behind me wow yeah just getting uh pretty steep I'd say oh oh actually The View on the other side is even better check it out guys oh and this is just the first glimpse I'm sure it will get better oh well also it's very shaky to be honest like if I move I can move maybe I'm not willing to demonstrate that all the car is actually moving a lot so I'm not sure if you can see that on the camera because my camera stabilizes the image by itself but it is actually quite cheeky the windows here are a little bit Dusty so the view is not 100 clear I think it's a little bit better here the air gets really fresh here already I like that okay if you are afraid of heights I would definitely recommend to not take this cable car it is really steep here and really high but your reviews are incredible already wow how many others is what Nepal is famous for White Mountains beautiful views and I'm planning to visit another Mountain Area probably in a few days or next week and actually down here you can see a little Trail so you're definitely possible to also hike up here oh yeah the sauce like oh yeah I would say 10-12 minutes all right let's explore around I'm actually very hungry I think I can get some food here and let's see what else we can find I see a cotton candy already okay let's get a first uh glimpse of the view here must be astonishing the views during the ride were already incredible so let's have a look oh yeah so the sunset is going to be over there later on I even see some some houses down there another okay that was a nice first impression but I think it will get better because we can get even higher actually you can do a ziplining here highest zip line in Kathmandu at altitude of 2551 meter so that's the elevation here two and a half thousand meters high in the mountains I see some some counters here I think they're selling food hello what food can I get here [Music] I pay over there yeah and then I come here to pick it up what is this this looks good actually chicken noodle okay foreign good so maybe I will go for the noodles oh yeah we have a menu here so we have the Momos we have a noodles sausages Shelly not sure what jelly is and the chicken burger I would like to have the chicken noodles one chicken noodles and maybe one last seed we don't have no lassi yes okay then um just water one chicken noodles and once more water okay chicken noodles [Music] some spices this is a sugar or salt yeah that looks very good okay Daniel but uh where can I get a fork right here okay thank you very much maybe a little bit or you put it in the extra okay how do I go into I will come to pick it up so one hand with the camera so I don't have a free hand for the sauce oh there's a view Tower maybe we go in there after the meal let me place it here and now I will get this sauce this is just a tomato sauce yes okay so nothing uh too special yeah regular ketchup I think okay all right I'm actually very hungry I skipped lunch today and now it's 5 PM the time I had food Wars for breakfast but I had a decent breakfast okay so let me show you the noodles a little bit more up close I know many of you are Foodies you like to see how the food looks like looks like this so I would say it's there regular mixed noodles some vegetables the chicken inside onions carrots actually quite a big portion it's falling apart here are actually pretty good noodles nothing too special but also actually quite nice okay my stomach is filled that was actually quite a good meal now I want to get my water I still have to voucher for the water hello where can I get the water on water oh no selling a popcorn here as well popcorn always reminds me about going to the cinema but I haven't been to the cinema for a while thank you very much it's once again quite a big bottle hello trouble with the big bottle is that it doesn't fit in my back because I have my drone in my bag as well as a sweatshirt or hoodie actually in case it gets colder up here I just found the local guy who speaks German yeah how come you know German um actually I'm a guy are you a guide I used to be yeah not anymore I used to take people in Mountain oh so as a guide you you learn a few words yeah I have um I I used to lead a people from Germany oh yeah but I've been living now in the US I I hear your American accent sounds a little bit American we have been there too long 22 years 22 years oh it's okay I'm also on vacation your truest in your own country yeah that must feel uh nice meeting you enjoy your day okay okay um so they have this um Tower here which is advertised as a viewing Tower over there but uh it's under construction at the moment they're doing some construction work up there so unfortunately I can't go up but this gentleman recommended another place which is actually next to the food court where I just ate and he said I can go up there as well to have a good view because you can see the view here at the moment is a little bit blocked by containers my trees construction noises in the background so let's see if we can find this other viewing platform also guys the air here is amazing just to breathe here it's clean fresh air really a big difference compared to the big city so if you need an escape from the yeah from the from the air quality in the city or the hustle and bustle of the city this is a great place to come and here was now here like a 45 minute taxi ride to get up here and I will tell you by the way the price of the taxi ride at the end of the video because yeah he's also waiting for me and will take me back later that's actually also nice for families here I think a little playground here some more over there you can do zip lining I saw a sign for horse riding as well so I think for families there's actually a lot to do here oh yeah for my YouTube videos you want to say hello to YouTube are you from Kathmandu yes so also tourists here local tourist yes yes oh okay enjoy your day bye so yeah people from Kathmandu they also like to come here escape the city came abroad can abroad I'm from Germany yes okay and uh it's my third day in Nepal today yeah just arrived here a few days ago [Applause] oh you want to take over my channel [Music] take a look from London okay so you are now also a tourist in your own country actually oh okay [Music] how long are you staying here [Music] four more days back to London oh will you miss me pal yeah of course oh enjoy your holiday here yeah thank you thank you thank you nice to meet you bye actually um I get the question a lot do I miss my home country do I plan to return home and the answer to that is actually no I don't miss Germany a lot of course I'm missing family and friends but uh I'm traveling around Asia for three and a half years now I'm excusing my voice what's happening to my voice um yeah I'm traveling around Asia for three and a half years now and I couldn't be happier I don't miss Germany I don't miss living in Germany but yeah maybe you remember like around a year ago I actually been home to Germany for a three-week vacation I also have some videos about my time in Germany on my channel if you're interested to uh to see my home Village in Germany but anyway okay we have a little Temple here maybe and ah this is the ah okay this is where I arrived we have the zip line here and then the temple here and then the food court here okay the place is called Mahadev yeah religious places always uh you need to be respectful so I'm going to be a little bit more quiet now for this section of the video looks interesting right also beautiful now with the with the sun next to it okay I think you can actually see Mount Everest from here the highest mountain in the world but uh not today I think it is a little bit foggy or Dusty maybe it's also smoke I'm not sure and actually I think down there uh this is Kathmandu so in theory you have a view over the whole city of Kathmandu here but yeah not today I think can you normally see Mount Everest from here uh if the weather is clear we can see from here but yeah no it's a it's where are you from I'm from Germany yeah three four days namaste I don't want to ruin the photo yeah you can take the photo first I just want to have a look oh I come with you on the photo okay where are you from from Nepal Nepal okay is our weddings shaking hands Nepali a German friendship I'm from Germany yeah okay okay so here the view is actually a little bit better here down to Kathmandu Kathmandu right yeah yes are you from Kathmandu yes also there's more over there right Kathmandu is actually very large right it's like that stretched a lot more 4 million four million people in the whole area right yeah okay yeah very interesting what is he doing [Laughter] I want a picture as well your wife oh okay what is this picture here yeah what is this uh what is the meaning yeah you know this language it's uh maybe 500 years ago ah okay okay building ah these are the person that captured the valley here okay okay so 500 years ago yeah this Valley was captured 600 600 okay okay nice to meet you oh that looks nice you'd like to see us here oh yeah the German Nepali friendship picture yeah sorry okay have a good day bye-bye bye-bye you're always lovely to meet the locals here in Nepal so far I'm very impressed very happy to meet all these people they're always so friendly open towards me curious happy smiling so so far my Impressions here of the locals are amazing I think it's time that I'm finding a place to watch the sunset which is in less than an hour so so far I haven't seen a spot where the sun is clearly visible so the sunset is going to be over there so there must be a spot somewhere over here and let's see if we can actually go up here excuse me can I go up here closed yeah can I where can I see the sunset so you can see it in bedside on the back side so I walked around yeah you can go from girls I can go here yeah okay thank you very much it's already closed how come and what uh well I would have thought that sunset time is the most popular time up here but seems like that's not the case also I realize it's getting really um what's the right watch uncrowded less busy um so I'm wondering if we actually if this is the best Sunset View that we will get not really ideal I'd say let me search for a sunset spot and then see you then okay some behind the scenes now for you I just tried to fly my drone I have my drone with me I'm of course in a modern area like this drone shots would be amazing but it's too windy to fly the Drone I just got a warning when I tried to start the Drone that it's too windy to fly and obviously the Drone is super super light I think it's 249 gram already so in case the wind gets heavy the the Drone actually can be blown away by the by the wind so that's why I get a warning on my phone that it's too windy okay so this side is not the side of the sunset obviously but I actually decided to walk back to the station of the cable car because yeah there's not really a nice spot to to see the sunset here so I'm hoping that down there at the cable car there's a better View and you maybe notice I put on my my hoodie very glad that I brought it because yeah it gets really chilly up here now I think from here we will be able to see a very beautiful sunset over the valley right here okay I'm back at the cable car station now and I think this is the spot that I will choose because yeah it looks absolutely uh amazing here we'll take one selfie okay where in India are you from actually in this house right yeah close to Sri Lanka yes true true yeah it's beautiful with the sun in the background yes you have to come a little more left yes I thank you in India thank you I learned that when I was in North Sri Lanka um uh like hello welcome Monica oh yeah I remember here yes and I remember like a North in jaffna they speak Tamil as well okay okay and that was close to Chennai that's fine that's fine yeah of course of course okay okay I'll take a picture how you doing okay no problem how many pictures did I take today already yeah this is really an incredible Sunset to witness like watching the sun go down over the mountains here that is really an incredible moment one of my favorite moments so far here in Nepal definitely that was a magical and by now I'm the only person left here I don't know why nobody wanted to see the the grand final of the sunset okay tell me about thank you very much I'm a little bit more relaxed now than I was on the way up ah and also from this view here I don't see a see how stupid goes you know you see from here I can't really see how deep it does you wanna have a look oh okay [Music] yeah let's see if my taxi driver is still there but uh pretty sure he will I haven't paid them yet so he will definitely be there but also um he made a really honest impression to me I will tell you at the end of the video why and I will also tell you the the price at the end but first let me find him and then head back to Kathmandu hello hello the sunset was very beautiful yeah and the cable car is a little bit scary it's very very high and steep yeah yeah but it was worth it very beautiful view out there yeah all right okay so I guess the the way back will be a little bit faster because it's after rush hour traffic time now and we are back at the hotel okay tell me about thank you very much that was a really nice trip so good you know what else do you need taxi yeah if I need a taxi again I mean uh before I have half an hour okay yeah okay no problem yeah okay and we said three thousand right yeah okay here's four thousand are you happy yeah okay that's very nice thank you very much it was a nice day okay good evening hello how are you sure I'm very good yeah make a little movie oh yeah my water yeah okay thank you very much enjoy your evening bye all right okay Namaste thank you very much and I am back at the hotel which I showed you in my first video when I arrived here and yeah what I wanted to say now is something important um I think he's a very honest guy because he was asking for three thousand which included going there waiting for me and returning and earlier I checked the price on one of the taxi apps here and the price there was 1250 for one way so two ways would have been two and a half thousand that means he only charged uh 500 extra for his waiting time so I think that's a very fair and honest price and yeah if you haven't seen my first impressions video from Kathmandu where we explored around this interesting City check out the video right here it's the healthy stay positive and then see on the next episode ciao guys
