BEAUTIFUL POKHARA! NEPAL'S TOURISM CAPITAL
everyone so it's day two here exploring in Pokhara and we've just come up to the mountains here it was about a 40 minute taxi drive pretty crazy taxi drive because some parts were just like not Road at all it was completely off-road so that cost us 2 000 that's for one way because we're gonna hike back down if we wanted a return it would have been around 3 000 overall and we've come here because there's a new attraction a large Shiva statue I can't see it right now it's above here somewhere but we're just gonna walk to it right now got a nice authentic looking Village up here though looks pretty cool cows officially an Asian Now using an umbrella for the sun so hot very hot yeah it is it's nice and quiet up here though this is some souvenirs so the drive up here was really beautiful though the scenery and there was loads of little waterfalls on the side of the road I think that's because we're in the monsoon season so loads of water coming down the mountain so that is pure lake about there just to show you how high we are so we're in the village over on that side I think this is a different side of the lake right here and this is how the road was driving up like just loads of loose Rock and that is the statue right there absolutely a massive so we gotta take our shoes off to go in this place got some like mantras going on here I don't know if you have to pay to come in here wow look at that for a statue of the golden cow that is what I call an impressive statue it is very high I wonder how many meters yeah maybe I can check online how tall that is but it is super tall I don't need to put music in this video I just use the the mantras so this is a part that we're staying down there on the Lakeside but you can see just how bigada is it's absolutely massive we've only really been around that area there and we're also going to head over to that Pagoda there the world peace Pagoda I think it's going to take about 30 minutes to hike down yeah and then we're going to hike all the way down there so I think it's going to take around two hours overall maybe amazing views from here though yeah yeah it's beautiful and we can see the the city from here because because we were unsure about the weather but it's it's okay for now yeah it's supposed to rain at some point right yeah we'll see yeah so sometimes when we're looking from down there we can't even see these Hills right here so we were worried that we might be in the clouds but right now we're okay can you see saranka which we might go to in this video tomorrow you can get like a cable car or you can drive up there but you'll just have to see how the weather is foreign thank you before we continue with our day we're going to talk about the sponsor of this video surf shark which is our

so yeah I'm just letting you know if you come here looks like it's going to be one hell of a hike on the way down though really beautiful so some people do the hike coming up here from the lake as well but because it's so hot yeah we just didn't want to do it in August it's extra humid so the temperature shows it's like 28 degrees but then on the websites it shows that because of the humidity it feels like it's around like 35 38 degrees and yeah it definitely does doesn't feel like 28 degrees at all yeah this is going to be a real nice hike though look at this so I think the pathway just goes all the way down there and then yeah we're gonna have to try and work out how to get over to that side I never understand how people can do this so they do trails and they just throw uh trash everywhere there's literally just trash all over bottles people drink water and then just throw it away bizarre foreign we're really struggling even though it's downhill from the humidity we passed a few Villages back there they have a lot of Rice Terraces here as well you can see them down there so that's cool reminds us of Southeast Asia and over here there's a school on this Hillside says a basic level School people live up here as well imagine the views living in this place this is what you see every morning so now you can really see why we're staying we're just around here on the edge we need two umbrellas yeah this is really helping me I think because I'm not getting that much Sun Ray so it's better but still I'm still melting so we were expecting this Trail to be a bit busier but there's barely any vehicles or bikes or anything passing around here nobody really walking around as well hello namaste do you have these little stores though if you want to get some drinks and stuff so we only brought one bottle because we knew there would be little shops around here that's a nice viewpoint I think everybody up here opens little shops don't they this one here some other great views probably in big season there will be a lot of people doing the hike I I guess so that's why there are so many shops I got some goats hey guys I missed a goat so cute it's like a baby goat isn't it funny little jump oh that was the big one right there he gets a bit scared of us thank you all right we have finally made it the world peace Pagoda back there so we just gotta go down this beautiful walkway and then I guess head back up again guys can anyone tell me what this is I think that's an insect making the craziest sound ever we could hear it from afar and we thought it was some sort of like mechanical Machinery or something but yeah it's coming out of that tree all right so we've made it silence we're gonna be nice and quiet once and once again another huge Monument yeah very very white it hurts my eyes you have to look at the reflection foreign so it turns out that there was a sign saying no filming or no Tick Tock there so yeah I stopped filming I didn't get to film much pretty much uh just the viewpoints that we've seen on the trail anyway and we just saw a huge snake it was like bigger than us in um in height right Carol freaked out of it but uh yeah it was scared of us we were in the temple I was like I hold the the screen yeah and now it looks like we're going into a village welcome to another Village so I guess the village is on the way down to the lake now that's where we're heading you can hear that noisy insect once again don't think I've ever heard a inside like that does sound like Machinery doesn't it yeah it might be some sort of cicada cicada I don't know what to say so this part of the trail is really nice now because we're in like the thick jungle first part of the trail that's like this and it's a lot cooler as well because yeah the trees are protecting us from the Sun foreign so even though the sign back there said welcome to the Village I think if you stay on the trail you don't actually go through the village we wanted to check out how a local Village was done the light we've gone through one though took a bit of a diversion here just to see something at least are these hotels or I don't know looks like traditional houses doesn't it yeah I'm not sure I know that there are some hotels but maybe down there I think that one is a hotel oh on the other side yeah those look like Rice Terraces as well don't they yeah I think they are all right we have arrived at the bottom I never saw it walking downhill could be so tiring we're actually quite used to doing hikes as well but yeah this humidity or something else that's why nobody else is really doing this Trail we passed one guy on the trail the whole Trail so this is where we can get the boat from over to the other side where we're staying it's the only way to go across also a restaurant here though so I think we might get a bite to eat first hello are you gonna let us cross the bridge doesn't look very open Carol yeah quite a few places that we've passed have been closed anybody in there nope that's some pretty nice views right it's almost like a little beach yeah over there with the kayaks yeah so I think people can do like stand-up paddle boarding and you can come from over there if you rent some kind of check it out Shiva again yeah it's pretty nice around here even here is almost like a little Beach Little Beach area so the other place wasn't open but they have this other restaurant here more local looking one and we just went for the cold Lassie that is 120. got a big bottle of water here needed that so that's 40 and Carol got a Coke for 70. high school I went for these fried sausages here pretty simple little snack that's uh 220 and Carol went for the veggie chow mein once again you always get quite big portions when you order Charming yeah it's good A bit spicy but it's very good yeah and that's like a very common dish here I don't know if that's because of the Tibetan influence but in the majority of the restaurants you can get chow mein and that's 150 overall all right so we're getting the boat back across 650 for the boat off we go it's a robo not a motorboat so uh more relaxing nice and quiet foreign so the price that we paid isn't just to go across it's gonna stop at a temple that's on an island in the middle of the lake there's a few other spots that you can go to as well there's five overall so which go into one obviously there'll be more expensive though so this is the island in the middle of the lake I think it's the only Island and that is the tiny little Temple there Temple I think it's called got the incense burning here smells really nice very different to any Temple that we've seen in Nepal so far this design here it reminds me of the ground of Greece the islands that we went to oh yeah the ground is kind of like that but different color no it's the pigeon home Beijing Temple foreign foreign so they have this nice walkway here loads of people selling food it's not this one that you want yeah 100 wow yeah is it spicy is spicy I don't know okay take a liquid right everything it's good though first time eating that yeah the kids are laughing at me hello hello how are you you want more of them one place is 10 pieces okay yeah okay you like panipuri yes they're shy what were the ingredients that were in yours I think that's what she's as well you want the chili you want chili just a little bit what's your name I don't know shy they want to talk but they're all so shy so Carol got all these we got seven for a hundred it was actually ten for a hundred but Carol's not that hungry since she just ate yeah but we paid 100 anyway and she said the world is actually like lemon water right yes with I think it's very good yeah I think it's uh I think they have that in India yeah I think so I think I've seen it in videos of India just never tried it so Carol had her snacks now it's time for me to snack again so I got this chicken kebab here it was a hundred not much food but it's not that expensive really it's really nice here on the Lakeside really laid back they have the trees so the sun doesn't come through so it's not hot at all and one thing we like about here is that it's very rare that you see on the main touristic fat that all the establishments are local in a lot of countries this would be like the fancy expensive places but yeah here it's all local and the fancy places are inside the city on the around the area that we're staying in pretty much right yeah yeah over there is more a mix and I'm here I think it's more local restaurants and stores well they all seem local really so we went to this spot here like a little shed but they're all pretty much like that so that's nice to see thank you foreign we kept walking along the river and all of a sudden we come to like some Theme Park area which I had no idea was a theme park got the roller skate in here and then there's some rides over here as well I don't know what this is some sort of like goca it's got the Ferris wheels right there this just appeared out of nowhere yeah it was like come tranquil Lake yeah like I said here in the lake area they're like many different Vibes like some uh relax Vibes and then like this other parts were like some bars and music Latino music as well yeah it keeps changing like every five minutes so they literally called this place Disneyland welcome to Pokhara Disneyland it's funny it is very tiny but still it's kind of funny that it's a I wouldn't like to go in that one after eating oh no I definitely throw up check this one out as well it's not the funny thing is you don't even pay to come in here right no don't go on the right yeah I think that one is 100 rupees oh yeah 100 rupee right maybe they're all around that price then there we go foreign so going to end this video here now we're on the rooftop of the place that we stay in which is Portland hotel if you didn't watch the video yesterday thirty dollars with breakfast included and we get these great views from up here we come up here every day to see if we can see the Himalayas behind there but yeah still no luck they're always surrounded by the clouds and this was the last video from Pokhara So the plan is that we're gonna head to a place called nagako we were supposed to go to bandipo but because of the bad weather we ended up extending our stay here and that left no time for bandipur so yeah we're gonna go to nagako and to get there I think we're going to fly into Kathmandu and then we'll get our bus to Naga that's the plan so if you like this video just
