Foreigners will experience lots of cultural shocks wen they visit nepal but those things will make Nepal the most unique place ever. And im sure, in the end; wen u pack ur bags and ready for take off to ur home country, Nepal will still remain in ur heart for the rest of ur life. Such a place is "Nepal"
+nyima gurung Well said!
Yes. Nepal has remained in my heart forever. It was the 1st FAR east country in which I visited. The Annapurna trail was amazing, as were the people.
azumi sai ho
Really helpful thanks a loot
Because of those factors I actually don't like it that much
I loved everything about Nepal! The squatty potties, eating with hands, even the hard beds... in fact I had to sleep on the floor for a month when I got back before getting used to my old mattress! ✌️❤️ and Namaste you two
Naomi Wildermuth idk why but this cracked me up lol
Next time I will give u free entry in my five star hotel in Kathmandu nepal
Thank u so much
Thank you.
No power cuts anymore thank God!
I've been to Nepal... and I didn't prepare any of those things. But I still had a blast. I would do a better next time though.. thanks for your videos.. I'm inspired.
+Lagaw ta Pilipinas are u planning to come in Nepal again??
Hows nepal? Its safe for a girl to travel there alone?
gubgib sumontip yes Nepal is safe to travel.
gubgib sumontip,ya it,s save it,s not a arbic country
gubgib sumontip yeah its safe..u dnt hve to take worry BT I would like to recommend to go with many friends...more friends more fun nd memorial journey..
Yes some homes still have flat toilets but in more advanced residential areas most homes have commodes and toilet papers, its not like no one has toilet paper and you still have the option to eat your meal with a spoon. Everythings optional. You guys were cooking outside in firewood but if you had gas it would be much easier and the electric rice cooker is super easy . Many homes have electric cooking stuff. You guys are struggling a bit cause it looks like you are in a very basic home. And to cut noise, you can move to places that are much peaceful there are places like that such as Kapan, Lalitpur, Narayanthan, Tokha etc. all i meant is there are options. Dont adjust and compromise a lot if you dont have its habits. Thanks for visiting our country though.
well said :)
Very well said....but I guess they r talking about the most common , general and daily way of living for most of the people in Nepal . I don't think they think they are struggling even a bit , but adapting to how we have live through decades , it's all about knowing places and cultures while knowing and preparing for daily life activities for a smooth run .. let us not divert their msg saying option is there or what so ever , but appreciate there work and dedication towards our country and their effort to adapt with us ..
thanks for the input! however i liked the video because i never imagined such things! i mean flat toilets don't exist here, anywhere, and it's the first time i see one tbh
It's very good to hear that there are Western-style toilets as I’d love to visit Nepal, but I have both bad knees & lower back & it is completely impossible for me to squat!... Thank you. ❤️
they are far south in Hetauda i guess
Many people will be watching this as tourists and will probably end up staying in hotels - many of which have western toilets. Also toilet paper isn't really hard to find in Nepal!
exactly.
Me near in the future lol 😂😂😂 as a western person lol
It's not a hotel ....you will definatly find western toilet in Nepal I am sure ....but guys are spending the time as villagers ...so if you stay in a good hotel you will find all facilities
Toilet paper is available in nepal .
Guys toilet paper is cheap in Nepal Like 20-50cent according to quality and we use the same two pin sockets to all devices that we use
No power cut these days.
2019 onward. So relax and enjoy the shangri-la. Cheers.
Sorry guys I don't totally agree with you. Everything is available in Nepal if you have money. And in a small amount of money if you want a perfect service or good things then sorry not only in Nepal wherever you go you have to face Same problem.
12:49 #13 In Nepal, the week starts with sunday so, no holiday on sundays for students. Friday is a 'half day' so, schools and offices close early and Saturday is a holiday.
Mary Jane that is actually useful, thank you.
1: you can ask spoon if u feel awkward to eat with hand.
2: the hotel u have stayed was pretty below standard coz everyone uses matrix these days.
3. The food u ate was not good. It was so simple food might be $1 per plate. You can't expect 5 star rank for $1 food.
Correct !
Absolutely right
You should visit Nepal now and update this info. Lot more has changed .
Half of the things you said is only true in Hetauda. A small town.
Nepal is a very very diverse country. Even a Nepali born in a certain town would feel an outsider in another Nepali town.
That s how different their cultures are within the same country.
But as long as you re a tourist there, they won't mind even if you do some weird stuff.
This is so true. Even with the festivals, one person living in the town will celebrate it and the next person couldn't even tell you why it's celebrated. That's one of the things I love about Nepal. Everything is mostly what I love about Nepal.
You are right.
well i am from nepal and i always use toilet paper. its not true that no one use toilet paper
Sonam Sherpa when I was trekking along the Annapurna circuit my toilet roll was useless due to rain. But I managed to to wipe with some leaves, at that time I felt really close to the nature. 🙏 Om Shanti🙏
we get it you rich
Watee is good.
i live in nepal and i never ever see mens holding hand😞
I live in Nepal and see it everyday. Maybe not so common in KTM.
Where do you actually live in Nepal ?
The Ticket to Travel yes that maybe right😊
are you still living here in nepal?
sankalpa baral i live in kathmandu. why?
then wc to janakpur Nepal :D
Love all your videos and hoping to visit this year
Thanks for the video
Kinda enjoying your documentary/vlog guys! :) I love the last part... This is real life! ;) Keep it up and God bless you both always!
you guys are great !
Thank you for this video!
I really enjoy your videos. They are very informative and interesting. You have a unique point of view and a very down to earth style. Keep up the good work!
This is a very useful video. Thank you for sharing this information.
I love this video too much all the logics are so real😃😃
you guys are the best !!
great video!
i love your videos,all of them.keep it comming mates.
very helpful! thanks guys :)
I'm screwed. I'm left handed and not sure I could adapt to using my right. I've always eaten and write left handed.
NO they wont mind if you are a lefty. There are lots of people who are lefty like you. Well you can use spoon and fork.So no need to use your right hand.
no prob you can use spoon and fork.
Sunray Moonbeam no pblm at all... i nepali and strictly left hander.... it is common in nepal....
Basic idea is just use the hand u don't use to eat unless u r ampituded..
You think left handed doesn’t exsit in Nepal? The concept is not to use same hand for eating which you use for toilet
GOOD TIPS. DO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
You guys are awesome! cheers!
Thanks guys you are very helpful.
I didn't really expect but this video is really useful
Thank you so much didi & daju (older sister & older brother)...your video is very useful..since lm coming to nepal on 14th march 2016 & willl be travel female solo traveller (from Brunei Darussalam)....alot of my friends nepali who work in Brunei always inform me to be prepare about shortage of electricity, noise pollution and clean water..
+nurul rani Hey Nurul bahini, we've never known anyone from Brunei, thanks for commenting, glad it was useful. Your Nepali friends have prepared you well for Nepal, especially Kathmandu where those things are the biggest problems. Have an awesome time in Nepal in less than a month!
+The Ticket to Travel some of the Burmese are Nepalese people who migrated for work in military and so on .. You will find people who still claim to be nepali Burmese and people who have settled down for good there , that means most of them don't even speak the language . They dress and look like Nepalese though . Thought I would just throw it out there . A little general knowledge .
You guys were learned a lot.. Appreciate you guys, keep rocking....
The cultural shocks is what makes this small but beautiful country UNIQUE AND MEMORABLE FOR LIFE !
haha ... i laughed so hard when she said man holding hand !!!!
where did u live in nepal ?? i ve never seen that anywhere .... haha
Raj Thapaliya oh come on it all over look at their video!
ajkal saroj tamang ra hataridai batasidai le pargai garako xa!!
Nice video...could listen to you guys "forever"... useful information...Thanks
I like you guys! I was searching for nepal travel advice and I will be stalking you on youtube more! :)
Kudos to you guys!! loving your channel, keep up the good work. Born in Nepal, I can't do what you guys do. God bless
I appreciated the video. Like some comments below, probably most visitors to the cities will stay in well equipped hotels. It is good to know what you said, so when you are traveling in the countryside, you will know what to expect. I am headed back to Kathmandu in a month for the third time. The last time I visited was six months before the devastating earthquake. I happened to sit next to the greatest Nepalese person, a local professor and consultant. I was invited to his home and celebrated the main Nepalese holiday. Since then, we have kept up on Skype and Facebook. I did get to see most of the well known heritage sites and basically just went with the flow for a week. I would recommend visiting if you can; don't worry about anything, it seems to be a very safe place the people are nice. For that matter you should always respect every person in every country you visit, they are trying hard to make it and you already made it.
Guys next time again when you will visit to Nepal, just get some more money and u shouldn't face any problems which u r showing in this video, just we should know that we will get facilities according to how we invest.
santosh prasai Shut up !!! Dont talk like a money sucking leech. !! Its their choice.. not all ppl grow money on trees !!!
Hello man if u want to visit free in nepal u have many options we would give u that service
Accurate, precise and explained so well
You are good to supporting us thanks keep it up
your videos are awesome
excellent video,, we will be in kathmandu next week arriving 24th march'18...for 6 days(inc chitwan) cant wait , then fly onto kolkata-varanasi-jhansi-agra-jaipur -udaipur etc 24days trip
No frequent power cuts in 2020, you can buy innerspring and foam mattresses in furniture shops, cutlery is available virtually everywhere and you can buy toilet paper at most shops at affordable prices. (But a lot of the toilets are squat).
thanks you brother.....
Nice Video, People will definitely experience cultural shock..We are diverse in culture. :)
this is probably the best vlog by you guys about Nepal. Really fun to watch, infact had few giggles while watching it. Awesome work.. Love this video and Love you guys.. #FromNepal
Interesting facts. Think about doing an update to this.
I've just discovered your videos today. They are very great and I'm your new fan.I look forward to your new videos. Btw I'm from mizoram.
😂 😂 😂 lol 7:34, so true tho... Like after camping, and you get back home to your bed, that you would complain about in the past.
Subscribed 👍
I am from Nepal and Each and every point is absolutely correct and people who are planning to visit Nepal will be helped to prepare themselves considering those facts.
nice video, thanks for the uploading, btw , you can do is carry around with a role of toilet paper, i dont think it is expensive, you can buy that in most of the shopping compex.
Nice Advice...
you guys give more idea about my country than other
awesome love you guys
Most tourists get shocked with Nepal's cultures for a first visit, but me..l love Nepal's culture very much..I will visit Nepal again for second time next year ...
can i ask u a question? don't u lick your fingers after eating anything which needs your fingers to pick rather than spoons? same goes here in nepalese people after u finish ur dish.
Good job guyes
Router normally works on DC, 12V or 9V or 5V you don't have to invert the DC to AC.. you can directly join the Battery to router, or use voltage regulator..
DC → AC → DC [ energy loss :( ]
Anyway i love Nepal.Dear foreigners Its all our culture and Norms...So Enjoy it😚😚
hahaha the toilet and toilet paper part was so funny, and honestly ive never seen guy holding another guy hand however i enjoyed pretty much this video and its motivating me to record my next trip.
well these include mostly city area but in village area you will experience something different.
you guys are 100% right.
Perfect!!!
Kool video.. but u guys have others option to practice.. I can feel u that as you from different culture and we'll develop country.. I am from USA.. n I born in Nepal.. I already had those kind of experiences.. I may feel little bit uneasy if I go their or may not be cuz i already been in that situation.. you mention all stuff true but it depend upon which part you stay and how much you spend.. hope you guys enjoy in nepal.. special being recsa driver.. haha.. lol
So how did you found Nepal.
Well, you can visit to Kathmandu , Bhaktapur or other great places of Nepal.
You will enjoy there and havd lots oc fun and can get many facilities over there.
By the ways I also liked your video.☺😊
It will help public who visit there. Thanks guys.
How long have you been there or are you planning on staying in Nepal? Did you visit before you moved there?
Noel, USA
I liked the video. :)
whats the best way to travel around? in or around Kathmandu?
You guys are very funny, really. some of the things you talked about i can't stop laughing for a while.
Great video! really enjoyed that. I'm arriving in Nepal next week and found that very useful. I'm ambidextrous and use my left hand A LOT! haha, need to try to not make any socially disgusting mistakes.
U are totally right
U guys r amazing loved yr video. missed my country.
well it totally depends on where you are staying at, if you are staying in nice hotels like in pokhara you wont have to worry about such stuffs where as if you stay in more economical places these 15 things are to be known.
I like your traffic tips. One of the most dangerous things for tourists is when they step out of a bus and a motorcycle is cutting around traffic and hits them. We just started promoting our RUclips channel of tips for Nepal. Hope you guys come back again.
YOU BOTH ARE HILARIOUS.
I'm a Nepal-Canadian and I love you guys so much for this video......thanks a lot!!
nice description about NEPAL for tourist............ Great and thanks for your contribution to respresnt our NATION
Thank you for this. I will be visiting Kathmandu in November. Any tips for that time of year?
+John James Dress warm :) No indoor heating, pretty chilly up there at that time.
My wife and I are going to Nepal to do the Annapurna circuit in September. Great video, although after you described the situation at 3:38, I couldn't but help stare at your hands for the remainder of the video ;)
Hi, where do Sherpas live in Kathmandu? I need to visit them for my research
u guys aee awsome
COOL, Tk's Mates
I have two questions. First, I'm left-handed. I think I know the answer to this, but are there any concessions made at all for lefties, even for writing or using utensils? Also, for personal hygiene, I know in South Korea (where I currently live), most places have trash cans beside the toilets for used toilet paper because of delicate plumbing and septic systems. If I were to use my own toilet paper or moist towelettes, would I be able to flush them or are there receptacles in Nepal similar to Korea?
There are toilet paper easily available anywhere in Nepal and yes u can throw it in the toilets where there are flush system and if there isn't any flush then just throw it in dustbins. In addition, it isn't necessary to hide your left hand or sth like that. Even in Nepal there are lots of lefties people. There are spoons available in markets, restaurants, hotel.
This video is a little exaggerated.
OF course you can throw toilet papers but make sure you flush them properly. And dont worry about you being Left-handed. Better use spoon and fork before eating cuz i do the same thing.
Cold we can cope no problem , just need the right and proper gear , went up to 5400 meters and i had no issues . Regarding the squat toilet ,its something to get used to and my experience is the more you eat like the locals ( dhal bat ) and no fancy food ( basically trying to eat what you eat at home ) the less time you will spend in a squat position.You dont have to use your hands , cutlery are available.
Hi! Awesome video! Me and my girlfriend are headsing to Nepal next month, and we would like to know if it is appropriated for woman to dress short clothes, such as shorts and tank tops? And regarding to water supply, do we need to take any sort of water filter system or chemical tablets?
+André Sato It is more modest here, no one will stop you but to fit in more modest would be better, next month won't be that hot anyways. You can buy water bottles anywhere, but if ur staying for a while or doing a trek, a life straw go or a SteriPEN might be a worthwhile investment. Hope that helps, André!
here in kathmandu its normal... elsewhere idk
You guys are awesome.. Are you guys in Nepal now..
Blowing Horn without reason is also banned in Nepal from 2017 end
If you wanna feel Nepal need to go to village area but if you wanna live with lots of facilities it’s good to go city area. I love village with purest air, morning bird sounds.
This is probaly a strange question, but do I have to consider the different calendar, when booking a room, or saying to someone, that I'll come at a particular date?
If you say the month for the Gregorian calendar, there will be no confusion. If you said next month on the 15th for example, there could be confusion.
@@TheTicketToTravelNP Ok, thank you for your answer!!!😀
very helpful, don't know how i feel about the toiletpaper thing though, will have to get used to thatXD
good work..... Best Luck
nice video .
This is so great. Emma is prepared to come to Nepal. I am so happy to have a video to give our families all a visual of what we are talking about with squat potties etc. And this proves that we aren't making it all up!!!
visiting Nepal would give u many exceptional experiences and of course the daily life might not be similar to of the places u belong but it will surely give u some wonderful memories and i can bet on that
cool informations...
now in 2016 loadshedding is extint in nepal
avi Land it only happened during the blockade and the fuel crisis
I'll be there at the end of the month!
(Or, halfway through the month in Nepal...)
I laugh when the eating with your hands number! I cannot relate as a foreigner being stared at but I can relate as the person staring to the foreigners ahhaah
