Show Video

everyone it's a very early start to the day today  it's 6 a.m and we've gotten up this early because   we're going to Pokhara and the bus that we're  getting on leaves at seven and they say you   have to arrive at the bus station at 6 30. and  we're going on like a luxury bus apparently it's   a thousand five hundred per person that's right  isn't it yeah yeah it's supposed to be a pretty   good bisque it's a long journey so yeah we just  left our hotel now and we're either walking to   the bus station or we might even get a taxi  because it's about 15 minutes away and yeah   all this is quite heavy to be walking with  this this early good morning good morning to the bus terminal yeah yeah how much  I watched the tourist bus a 400 400 very   close yeah we go to pattern 600. our kitchen  three kilometers yeah do 200 200 300 300. yep

so we're at the tourist bus terminal it's  not really a terminal just on the side of   the road I think all these buses here are  going to pocata ours is exactly the same as   it is in the picture here so yeah I think  it's going to leave in about 30 minutes   and there are some places that you can buy  snacks if you want here but I think we're   just gonna wait to have lunch right yeah we're  so tired that we're not hungry at all yeah it's   gonna stop on the way because how long is  it I think they say it's supposed to take   seven hours but I read online hours of bending  yeah well we're gonna find out soon quickly so we've never been on a bus like this before yeah  Cinema buff look at these for some luxury chairs   super padded yeah this is the first  time that we've ever had big Cinema   seats like this got the cup holders  just like the cinema too right yeah   I think this was supposed to be a university  but yeah some of the other chairs have USB   we were supposed to be sat back there but  somebody's in our place so hopefully it's   okay to sit here in the front got a better view  anyway I need popcorn now yeah and a movie yeah   in a movie this will be the movie so we had to  move back to the prophecy here so we're not in   the front anymore you don't get much leg room you  have to open your leg kind of hard to close them thank you thank you   so they also give you some free water on the tour  that we're already in a traffic jam right now   check this out for some of these I  don't think we've ever driven around   in the clouds like this not that much space  for two cars is there no that's why there's huge trucks everywhere though majority  of the vehicles of these colorful trucks   well I think we're going inside the  clouds oh yeah wow inside a cloud everything all right so about an hour and 30 minutes in we've already  stopped for a toilet rate so it doesn't really   matter if there's no toilets I think he's gonna  have stopped quite a lot it's a beautiful drive   really crazy road but really beautiful too so  now it's almost like we're in Jungle scenery   compared to Kathmandu and yeah once again  there's like little restaurants and cafes   here if you want a drink on these long Bush  Journeys we've kind of learned to just not   drink a lot of liquids right yeah we've had  a few not so good situations in the past so   we try not to drink a lot but like I said I think  here his the the bus is gonna stop a few times so   the problem but at the same time I imagine  yeah I think the worst experiences were on   the buses in Vietnam so they had a toilets  but they were always out of service and the   driver just wouldn't stop you'd ask him to  stop and he wouldn't stop so yeah that's   why we don't really drink a lot before we get  on the bus so that we don't need the bathroom foreign foreign for a lunch break so this is the big river that  we've been pretty much parallel to the whole race   huge River full of trash isn't it wow that's loads  of trash crazy I think it's because it's just   going around in circles okay I think usually one  of the nicest bus rides we've ever been on yeah   yeah it's a very beautiful like the mountains and  we are so lucky with the weather because it's a   very sunny day so we can see everything pretty  much yeah once again it doesn't look like monsoon   season and everything is obviously super green  because it is the monsoon season so really nice   I think about 30 minutes here haven't we yeah it's  lunch time but it's 10 a.m yeah it's still early   75 kilometers from Kathmandu it says I think it's  like a buffet looks like it so it's going to be   400 and you just Serve Yourself you get whatever  you want I like pasta hair rice not even sure what   this is how does that go no idea what any of  this stuff is it smells good yeah this smells   good so it cost us 1 000 rupees overall with two  drinks and I just went for the pasta there's some   vegetables in there got these vegetable pastors  and some bread soup thing right yeah I think   it's uh like a little motor okay some potatoes  yeah some peas peas and yeah the spicy sauce   yeah this is by far the best place that  we've eaten so far look at this Furby   definitely stopped at the perfect spot  yeah because on the way there's loads of   places I think that buses and trucks stop  yeah there are many buses on the narrow   then the road is not so good so good chaos yeah  because it's big vehicles on a tiny road yeah   we even saw an accident with a truck a bad  accident yeah it's beautiful yeah foreign foreign so the journey was really good highly recommend  getting on that bus because even though the road   was very bad at some parts since the sofa  was like so thick and comfortable it pretty   much just absorbed it all so we went like jumping  around or anything I think if you go in a normal   bus you'd be yeah jumping around a lot probably  it'd be pretty sore but for us it was just really   comfortable and yeah the best coach that we've  ever been on anywhere because never been on a   coach with like Cinema sofa chairs before so yeah  definitely worth it and this is the hotel room   where we're staying so it's called hotel Portland  and it's just 30 a day and this is a four-star   hotel so that 30 also includes breakfast but  just got a super spacious modern room TV the AC   and then through here the bathrooms also pretty  good it's kind of funny that there's a window in   the bathroom so you can see outside but nobody  can see inside unless you open curtains don't   see that very often though and another cool thing  is that each room seems to have its own router so   we got really fast internet here I think I've  been able to upload the YouTube videos in like   20 minutes which is yeah super fast for us uh  traveling even in the other place in Kathmandu   the internet was good so so far Nepal seems to  have really good internet and here's the view   from the balcony so as you can see the weather is  not so great cloudy very rainy so we've actually   been here for four days this is four days after  the bus trip and that's because when we arrived   it's just been raining all the time super hard  rain like proper Monsoon so we haven't really   been able to do anything so this place also has  a rooftop where you can get some pretty good use   I'm not sure how the visibility is right now on  the back side oh wow yeah it's real good actually   sometimes it actually looks kind of cool with the  clouds wow look at the clouds on that side so this   is a mountain that you can get a cable cat up to  if we have the time we are gonna try and do that   but yeah it looks pretty cool The View  pretty big lake as you can see then over   there there's an island with a temple you can  also do a boat trip to that so yeah there's a   lot of stuff to do around here we just have to  see if the weather's gonna cooperate with us   I haven't even seen on this side yet check that  hotel out there it looks like a temple foreign spot called Debbie's Falls a waterfall here  and here's the ticket so it's a hundred per   person not so bad yeah and the waterfall is right  here I don't think you have to do any hiking you   can already see actually whoa got some cool Stone  sculptures here elephants head and here's the view   thank you but it's going to be extra  powerful now right monsoon season wow   look at the water falling down yeah splashing  up I'm gonna be able to see you even closer   let's go down so you probably already noticed  already focare is extra green and beautiful   pretty much jungle like scenery all  around got the banana plantations there   really beautiful place from what we've  seen so far guys just listen to that that's like one of the most powerful  sounding waterfalls that we've ever seen goes into the abyss yeah I think so scariest waterfall I've ever seen the sheer power very scary nature beautiful it's just  crazy like how close we are to chaos yeah we're all wet out of nowhere foreign explosions happening when the water goes down yeah   it's like a cave here  something like okay so I think strength of the water and then it's like yeah it  goes into an underground tunnel 30 meters below   the ground so that's where that's going right  now 30 meters below and I read that it's like   150 meters long in the tunnel I think even in  normal season it still is a powerful waterfall insane like this is just insane foreign another part of the Fall now there's this  little fall here it's almost like it's raining   so look there's a little fall going down here   and this is still the tunnel I think it goes  into there on the ground maybe that one's only   flowing because of all the rain oh yeah it doesn't  even look like it's coming out of like a river or   anything bizarre all right I'm getting soaked  so on this side here there's some historical   information on why it's called Davis fog so it's  because there was a Swiss lady in 1961 that went   to bed or Swim here and she drowned obviously  I imagine it wasn't like it is right now so   crazy but yeah apparently she drowned so they  named it after her oh look that guy looks dry   oh yeah totally different totally dry even  there right it's like a pool or something   yeah but here in this picture it's like  it is now yeah that's like it is right now   wow so it can get dry then bizarre I think we came  at the best time though yeah more impressive yeah   sorry at its most aggressive so we're heading  to the next spot now which I think is only like   a three minute walk it's a cave that's near here  like a holy cave this is how it looks in this area   so we're not in like the center of Poker anymore  but this is still a part of Poker I think oh it's right there yeah okay I said three minute  walk that was like not even a minute so that's   the name gupteshwa mahadev's cave entrance if I  pronounce that right it's like a market isn't it   souvenirs bracelets I already got a bracelet here  yeah here nobody really bothers you in Nepal even   going through these markets barely anybody who  speaks to you nobody's trying to force you to   buy things you go in the stores if you want  I also look at this for a entrance into the   cave there's like a spiraling staircase again I  guess that just goes down into the cave really   cool colors as well looks different to anything  that we've seen in Nepal so far so on the way in   you already got some really cool sculptures from  Hindu mythology all the way around I always like   the elephants I don't know why you get elephants  in Nepal by the way I haven't seen any yet sure is   one hell of an entrance girl yeah yeah oh I like  that one the face at the top look at this too what is that that's like a snake or something  I don't know ah so this is a hundred to enter   by the way that's that's for the both of us  so 50 per person even cheaper than the falls   so we just go in down and down   really deep obviously very dark down here or  only artificial light so we're out of the cave   now it turns out that you can't film down there so  there was like a temple and there was also a door   that's locked and it's cut it's the monsoon season  normally you'd be able to go through the door and   walk further down and you'd end up going to the  point where the water is from that Dave is false   so like yeah I guess 30 meters below the ground  I got some tic tacos Echo Tick Tock dance yeah   so we come to a park now right near the lake  still about a 20 minute walk from where we're   staying I thought we'd just check it out  and walk along the Lakeside and this park   also has some statues here we just saw them I  don't know if they're old statues or anything   no I think these are modern statues sculptures  I mean that's like that put ahead I don't know   what the other half is I think that's the first  time I'm showing a cow here in Nepal so obviously   since the majority of people in Nepal are Hindu  it's also like a protected animal I don't think   you can really find beef in that many places  they eat buffalo though that's quite popular   here buffalo meat but not a cows and sometimes  around here you just see them hanging around in   the streets like in India in Kathmandu we didn't  seem to see it that much but here in Pokhara we've   seen it more often and here is part of the lake I  guess pure lake it's really Brown the taxi driver   just told us that people don't really swim in  here I don't think it's that clean to swim in foreign so we've now gotten our first glimpse of some of  the Himalayan Mountains in the background it's   opened up a little bit so yeah we hadn't seen  it yet in like four or five days can even see   the snow it's clearly covered in snow it's  funny it looks way closer doesn't it yeah if you look at this one it's like a it from here  it seems like almost the same size but the one   on the left yeah but we know it's not because of  the the snow so I think that's very far from here   but still since it's so big we can see it like  that Kyle it's almost like we're back in Amazon   that's what I just said from this look here  and also the color of the river yeah it's   very similar it's a cool Lodge over there so  you can stay over there and you just get this   like boat transfer across there be an amazing  place to stay sounds of the wildlife you can   already hear it from here so this place is  full of surprises right next to the main road   you got this other Park here it's called a yoga  park I think look at that first statue I think   that's the Monkey King Hanuman or something  like that it's called pretty sure that is um foreign
