Exploring Old Kathmandu 🇳🇵
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 июл 2024
- It's my last day in Nepal, so my last chance to have a good explore around Kathmandu.
My previous stay in the city was ruined by a case of extreme food poisoning that left me confined to my hotel room for an entire week.
This stay in Kathmandu was mostly ruined by constant rain, but that stopped in the mid afternoon of my final day, so I took the opportunity to get out and have a wee adventure.
My first mission was to find a local samosa shop that had been recommended to me. I walked through the narrow streets, avoiding motorbikes and other obstacles and found the place I was looking for, Tip Top Samosa.
One huge vegetable samosa cost just 30 rupees ($0.24 USD / £0.20 GBP). Definitely the cheapest food I've bought in Nepal so far but the quality of the samosa was excellent. Nice crispy pastry, stuffed with potatoes, lentils and a delicious masala.
After washing that salty, spicy samosa down with a fresh, sweet lassi, I took a bicycle rickshaw to the Kathmandu Durbar Square. The word 'Durbar' means 'Royal', so it's the old royal square.
The chancer tried to charge me 500 rupees for a 1 minute ride. I bargained him down to 100 rupees but that's still a ripoff.
I got gouged again at the Durbar Square. Just to enter the area foreign tourists must pay 1,000 rupees ($7.80 USD / £6.65 GBP). There's a bunch of a interesting old temples in the area but it's still a regular area with shops, businesses and residential buildings. 1,000 is a bit much to just wander around those streets, especially when you have to pay for another ticket to enter the museum that's in that area.
I was planning on exploring the area myself with the information pamphlet that I received at the ticket booth, however I was convinced to take a guide. Fortunately so, because he was really good.
I'd been on the hunt for a Dhaka Topi, the traditional hat that Nepalis wear, for some time. I asked my guide, Mr Doga, to help me find one. He was determined to find one for me that was both high quality and low priced, so we tried a bunch of different shops before we found a man who specialises in Dhaka Topis.
Proudly wearing my new Nepali hat, we wandered back to the royal square and visited the Kumari's house. Kumari is a little girl who the locals believe is a living goddess. She lives in a house with a caretaker family that she's only allowed to leave 13 times a year, during Hindu festivals. Other that that, local people can visit the house to get blessed by her and foreigners like me can see her appear at the window at certain times of the day.
There were a lot of other interesting things to see in the area, including an old stone water tap that the locals in that area still use, as they still don't have running water in their homes. Nearby, there was a fertility temple where people come to worship Shiva and ask to have a boy as their first child.
My guide was very knowledge and honest, so if any of you guys want him to give you a tour in Kathmandu you can contact him on whatsapp +9779820514228 His name is Doga Dahal.

Love You Brother 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
Lot of love 💕 brother ❤️❤️❤️
Last vlog welcome again sir 🇳🇵 ❤️
Props to the tour guide. What a wonderful person and the details he gave him of the area. Majority of the tourist visit the country but they don’t take the history or significance of the place. Hats of to that brother. He went above and beyond to find palpali dhaka topi for him.
he seems really good person even i got lot of knowledge from his guidence
@@Scarface-hl4bl he was trying to earn more by putting more effort in it. He didn’t ask for more at any point nor did he manupulate dale in any way.
@@Amar_000 what wrong with you brother did he ask for more money nope, he is trying his best to get more tips , and i know you also do same in ur daily life even in the office to get promotion other to get other stuff, so nothing is wrong he is very nice and simple guy. so grow up.
500 is very cheap it self. he did not ask more. whatever he did made him satisfied which is main important thing
Working smart not harder which is fair..👍
When he met the guides, i was like "oh cmon, must be another scam"
And then i cry at the end of video because of dale hug the tour guide
big respect to the tour guides
What an honest man
❤
I was in Nepal for 10 days at the beginning of August, and totally fell in love with the place.. Dale has been a fantastic ambassador..
Someone give the tour guide a njce paying job in some government organization.
He was really honest in helping Dale get the right deal and not get ripped off and gave some really valuable information of the history of Basantapur Area and the locals.
His English was also really well and he could really make Dale understand properly.
Kudos to both 🙏🏽🇳🇵
@Suhrit Yogi normally 1000 vandaa badi maa garna parney kaam garesi 500 matra aauxa vanney thah hudaa ali kati frustration ta hunxa ni.
Tourist sita risaayena. Tehi ramro kuraa ho
He literally has a government job, a tourist guide
@Suhrit Yogi can you tell me what he said
@@We.getwholesome Its nothing as severe as @suhrit yogi is making it out to be. In the literal sense, he said "I'm taking him around for less money, but i'm trying to get more."
What he's basically saying is although he settled for 500 bucks (which is really very less) he hopes to provide a good service so that in the end, his customer will give him more. It is actually a very commendable attitude since a lot of people would just do a half-assed job since they already settled for a low price.
Born in Nepal and living here for past 23 years, but this video teaches me a lot about Nepali culture and history.
Same
Living here means where brother??
Tour guide guy was outstandingly great. 2 hours of exploring every single street, as much details and history possible, no bs scams with the hat hunting bit. He could've just rip Dale off in some friends shop, but no they actually went hunting for it and found it in a tiny proper local shop with local price.
Genuinely knows his culture, the hundreds of places/temples and shares everything. He reminds me of the camel guy in Egypt. He deserves the 2k and more. Hope he gets tonnes of request after this and make a good good living. Hats off to the man.
I am sad that your Nepal series is over !! 😢
Hope you will be back again , be safe man .
I can't imagine the outcome of this vlog without that tour guide, dale. Wow! He is an expert tour guide and very kind. He deserved that 2k. 💯
What an amazing guide he is. He was not selfish about the time at all. Searching for topi that is best for him for a low price while he could just buy any topi from any of the store. He could easily bait him into buying more food from that cafe but he was not interested in that. Very knowledgeable, honest and wholesome, represented the country in the perfect way. Glad you enjoyed your time in Nepal, Dale. Hope you'll visit our country again.
@Suhrit Yogi 🤣🤣
@Suhrit Yogi 💀😭🤣🤣
@Suhrit Yogi What did he say?
@Suhrit Yogi 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Suhrit Yogi secret 😂😂
Doga was absolutely great..what a tour guide..Doga made us feel proud for being so honest and genuine..Enjoy your trip Dale !
The way he provided pin point detailed about each place is just awesome. He never let him feel bored and tired. Hats off to you brother for your true guidance of the Durbar Square…🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
Yeah just one hell of the tour guide he was… wish him more luck …
Tour guide was SO genuine! Loved his dedication and hospitality. Glad you gave him a tip. Also awesome to see how many friendly people there are.
Ooo yeah because of this is Nepal 🇳🇵
Haven't seen such a nice guide ever in my life. Normally guides are scammers and they don't have much knowledge as well. But this one, oh!! Kudos to him! He was also very knowledeale, not just honest and hardworking. I am really glad you hired him else this video would not have been such good quality content and informative about their Nepali culture, what a video to end the trip of Nepal @Dale, good luck for your next country! Love your videos. I have watched full video 1:36 hours in just one go, without pausing, it was that interesting, who needs GoT and stuff when you get such high quality content right here in your channel. Very interesting and engaging. Also I would urge to nepali people to not throw garbage on the streets as we saw many instances throughout the whole journey.
Wow, Mr Doga
The best guide I have ever seen ... u can feel that he really likes to talk about his country!!!! 👍👍👍
Big shoutout to the guide. He is giving more priority to introduce nepal for his legacy ❤️❤️❤️
I'm sad that his Nepal series is over.. I have thoroughly enjoyed it all.. Thanks Dale.. 😊😊😊😊

Hi from 🏴 Scotland.
To the gentleman tour guide....thanks to your decency & honesty I am sure you will get a lot more work now.
For Dale the celebrity, you are a superstar in Nepal clearly.
Another good video.
Hi people of Nepal.👍
I'm really glad that you got this tourist guide. He was very knowledgeable and honest. Good job!
As always this is better than Netflix✨️Love your vlogs man❤
Aali kati dherai kando chatai vako jasto lagyo hai 😆 Netflix sangai ta compare na garum hola sir 😆
You got very honest, faithful and decent guide in last day. He is really good, everyone came in Nepal should carry him.
It was beautiful experience. Thanks to the guide, got to learn so much new things that I was unknown although had visited that place like number of times. Hope you had a beautiful experience out in Nepal. Have a safe journey Dale. Come back again to Nepal and explore some other good cities as well.
I just started watching his vlogs when he arrived to Nepal 💗.
Now I am feeling bad that he is leaving Nepal...I used to wait for his vlogs...✨
Same here dude🙂
I'm feeling same ,u r leaving our country
Watch indian theme park adventure its hilarious 🤭😍
Yeah, we have so many city guides and mountain guides which are very honest, educated and certified and want to show our country to the visitors. Don’t be sacred of them.
Scammers are not certified and you can complain against them if you encounter with any. Nepal is a safe country.
Have a safe trip to another journey dale. 💜🇳🇵
Love the guide, he just ate the whole history..so cheerful and amizing man.. beautiful vlog brother
Bye Dale. I am so happy that you visited Nepal and shown our beautiful country, introduced our culture and traditions to the world. Happy to know your experience that Nepalese are so friendly and all. I hope you will come again to Nepal. Have safe journey. 🙏
mr doga seems nice person i am nepali but i learn lot of things about kathmandu and really thanks to show our culture tradition and how we treat to everyone we are different relegoin different culture but we always live with happiness to everyone i am proud to be nepali and we should learn from mr doga the tour guide how generous and nice person and thanks to dale to show real nepal
Another awesome vlog from Dale and this time the guide stole the show. What an wonderful person he is. Thank you, Doga brother. :)
Much appreciation to the Newa people who had such acute sense of human civilisation, their concept and creations from centuries ago make sense even today. They built all of these heritage sites without any reference to the outside world. The architecture and engineering that have lasted for more than 10 centuries is a result of their vision, passion and craftmanship which is truely admirable.
Bro, again a awesome vlog from Nepal. Beautiful country and friendly people. The guide is a good man. He has given lot's of time to find the beautiful traditional Nepali hat for you. Another point to add, after watching Scotsman's several vlog, I know that although he is a good bargainer, but he pays well who deserves it.
What a Professional Guide. Thumbs Up For Mr Doga For His Loyality And Patience.
Really loved the way how you spent most of your time in this video with the guide. Most of the guides are dishonest and just want to finish thier session as so as possible. And you respect every culture and religion that shows how a humble person you are. Respect to the guide for giving you true and maximum information that he could. Cheers brother!
The best channel on RUclips strikes again! what a great vlog. Keep up the brilliant work Dale, from one of your biggest fans!!👏❤️
Thank you so much dale for visiting Nepal and promoting our culture!! Dhanyabaad 🙏🙏🙏
Best vloger, keep exploring dale. Hope to see you again in Nepal( country of peace and harmony).

1:03:00 though kasthamandap was believed to built in 12th centrury, carbon dating and archeological discovery shows that it was built in 7th century during licchavi period. And this temple is dedicated to Gorakhnath. This temple have withstand dozens of massive earthqaukes over centuries. On research it was found that there was one pillar missing in this temple. If there was one more pillar, it is said that it could have withstand one more earthquake in 2015
Your tour guide was amazing! I loved hearing the history and information he shared. Great episode Dale!
Many many thanks for deeply explaining about the uneseco heritage of Kathmandu . One day there was a time we liked to visit all the places you captured in your great blog.❤️
thank you for visiting our country Nepal dale, You're such a humble and kind person. Have a safe journey to your next destination. Hope to see you in Nepal
Thanks for visiting Nepal Dale.We hope you will come back again and explore other remaining beautiful places too.You're doing great work, my friend, truly appreciate that..
mula saag (wonderful flower).......
10:14 Pigeons are the messengers of peace and they add out to the beauty of Nepal and the temple itself!!

Hats off to the Guide. Not tried to scam dale a bit , not at all. What a great guy. So mch respect . Wow..
Once again Amazing series dale.
Thank for Visiting Nepal Dale. Tons of love and wish for a safe and great journey ahead❤️ Hope to see you soon again with same positive vibes❤️🇳🇵
Oh man, your vlogs are spectacular. The tour guy was a real legend. Thanks Dale :)
Thank you for exploring, and revealing our hidden stunning beauty to all outsiders and also to those who are planning a long expedition to relocate the picturesque nature of Nepal...love you from all the four chamber of my 💓...✨✨✨
Dale, this guide is really nice. The time he rejected the expensive 4800 tourist price topi, I had the urge to continue watching this blog. Hope he remains to inspire many other tourist guides.
Dear Dale,
First of all thank you for visiting our beloved county Napal and showing to world.
I am really happy that you enjoyed your stay in Nepal … but bit sorrow that now it’s over.
I just wanted to suggest one more visit to Nepal to explore more …
If ever plan for second chapter in Nepal please note on your diary to visit 1. Birthplace of Budha - Lumbini. 2. Jungle safari - chitwan and 3. Traditional and topical village - Ghale gau. … these three places will make your trip to Nepal a complete one.
Kathmandu and Pokhara is nice one but the above mention places will give you complete and diverse picture of Nepal.
Thank you 😊
Love from Nepal ❤️
We really enjoyed your vlogs at Nepal ...We wish you'd come to Nepal again♥️🇳🇵
Will miss your Nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵vlog Dale . Hope you enjoy alot here and lots of love from Nepal ❤️❤️
Excellent guide. Thank you Dale
Probably, the best guide I’ve ever seen.
#Huge_Respect_for_the_Guide 🇳🇵
the guide was really so honest and genuine
Hi Dale, I appreciate your vlogs as they are so engaging and addictive. I am glad you enjoyed your stay in Nepal, but there is still much to explore. It was monsoon so obviously there was difficulty in travelling. I am sad that you were sick. YOU SHOULD come to Nepal again, but this time during Tourism season ( October, November, February, March, April) and go on some trekking to the mountains, and visit other famous places like Bhaktapur, Chitwan, Lumbini, Everest, Lukla.❤❤ I hope you had a good experience with the Nepali people. The Nepali people are Kind, Helpful and Honest and this guide himself is an example, unlike the guides you had in Kerala and other places. For this guide, the your satisfaction was more important than money. Gave his 100% in explaining and finding the topi. You are most welcome to Nepal again, please visit soon, but this time for a longer duration. ❤❤
Thanks For Visiting Nepal, Dale. Hope you have fun in your next adventure
Huge Respect for you Dale.Nepal and Nepalese will not forget you.
Wanna see you again!🥰🇳🇵
There are so many good places you have missed to visit inside the valley, I think you should extend your blogs 👍👍
Turned out Mr Doga is very good tour guide with passion; having taste also with craftsmanship, can be seen how he is very particular about the topi quality.
Kudos to guide and thanks to dale to show nepal to the world…
It was a awesome experience watching your volgue and getting to know more about our own country Nepal . Thank you for visiting our country and tour guide was so honest,his hospitality so great. Hope you too come again in Nepal . lots of love ...
You're the best travel vlogger. I can't say that enough. I said it a million times so far. You're straight to the point, show interesting things and don't waste viewers' time with stupidity or nonsense. Great job Dale! Love your production!
Was eagerly waiting for your new video , thanks for uploading dale!
Nepal series is one of my favourites .

It has been a wonderful journey Dale. Hope you'll be back soon. There are more places to explore. Kritipur, Lumbini, Gorkha, and out of most the trekking routes.
