  • I got the local bus from Kathmandu to the city of Pokhara in Nepal however it was perhaps the worst bus journey I have ever been on! 9 hours of absolute hell in scorching heat and crammed in with 15 other locals. An experience I would never want to do again!

      Kurt copied Harold to a tee, especially in his start. "Am I filming" was literally word for word copying. I lost respect right off the bat. Men love him though. I guess they need someone to look up to, which is sad since it's a fake personality on their screen . Is this just American men who put these characters on a pedestal?

    Been there, done that journey, probably 20 times or more. First time was in 1982 and most recently just 2 months ago. I quickly learned never take a local bus from Kathmandu to Pokhara - it may be cheap but avoid it unless you're a masochist. The regular tourist bus is great - again it may take 9 hours but I still really enjoy it. 🙂

    Yeah those vechicles sucks while travelling for long journey. A proper bus is more better option, you can look into the tourist bus while traveling back because those are much better options if you travel by bus instead of the plane but the video was very fun to watch haha.

    I've driven from India to Nepal and oh god those roads that you experienced, I can't blame you for being exhausted. I was exhausted in my own car travelling from Pokhara to Kathmandu. Those were the worst roads I've ever witnessed. Period.

    Should have booked for big bus which obviously has a bit big leg room compared to this micro bus 😂😂
