MOST UNDERRATED CITY IN ASIA THAT NEARLY FELL DOWN!

- Bhaktapur is one of the most incredible cities I’ve come across in Asia. It’s situated in the Kathmandu valley of Nepal.
Bhaktapur was once a Newari city kingdom which is why it’s so full of traditional Newar art, architecture, food and culture.
Walking through the city of Bhaktapur makes me feel like I’m travelling in time to an era in the distant past. It’s got the most beautiful wood carvings I’ve ever seen as well as some unique and very influential architecture.
Unfortunately it was affected by the 2015 earthquake which destroyed many buildings. I explore the beauty and tragedy in this wonderful city of Nepal.

The one you called dragon isn't a dragon but its a mythical creature called Hitimanga - the one with body and face of crocodile, eyes of deer, trunk of elephant, ears of boar and horns of sheep. Hiti manga mostly represents the water related creatures. These kind of stone water spouts were built around the town for disrtibuting water in the old times. For this, different water canals were dug and brought into a big pond like reservoir which basically can be found out on outskirt of ancient town. And then the water were supplied through underground channel system where water flowed through various channels and get filtered. The excessive water flowed out of other channel and these channels were connected. Most of these channels are broke in the present day, so most of these water spout are dry but they serve naturally when it's monsoon.

Thank you for that information. Just love the artistic talent in Nepal. I wonder, do Nepalese work in the art sectors around the world? I have seen that in certain groups in India who were know to be skilled artesians through history, now work in the creative field. They make great chefs, architects, graphic design or even in dance and music! It is like their genes carried that creative DNA in successive generations.
Its also called Makara
The Newari cities can indeed be dubbed some of the most underrated cities in Asia. Everything there makes you feel like you've stepped into an ancient portal. Those hitis or ancient water systems are pretty awe-inspiring. They serve quite well to give us glimpses of how our ancestors may have lived. And the details on almost every piece of architecture whether the water taps or temple posts always blow me away, they're just so incredibly intricate and I could stare at them for hours.
These cities have faced a lot of pressure from unplanned urbanization from recent governments and it's quite sad really. If preserved well they can be a boon to human history.
Looks like an interesting place ! I’m heading there next ! Great vlog ! 🇳🇵🇳🇵
He deserves so much. All other vloggers stay in fancy hotels but this man and molly are real vloggers ❤️
Cmon...many people still love to travel the simple way,staying in local homestays or guesthouses....specially real longterm travellers...fancy hotels are only for shorttime onelife visit tourists....
@@kikipucko3276 ok calm down. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
As a history lover, it’s so wholesome to see a foreigner so knowledgeable about our history and architecture. Your attention to detail and knowledge of specific things are so refreshing and frankly you could give a lesson on Newari architecture and culture to many Nepalis themselves. Way to go! I hope you have a great time in Nepal as much as I loved watching this vlog.
Really?
I live in Australia now studying but I’m originally from Bhaktapur and spent 18yrs there your videos make me feel like I’m back home.❤️
I know most of the people in this video 🥲
Me too 😁😁
I’m thinking about doing a fruit picking season over there at some point. I heard they desperately need agricultural workers and are paying a premium. Only reason I haven’t is because I couldn’t make content. Hope you’re well 🤙
Mlai ni auti Australia ko gf khojdinu na la 😂
AUS ma cheel hudai cha ta?
I think we are only seeing dream to Aus 🤔🤷🤷🤷
a true vlogger spotted ❣️
good job!!!!
almost every TH-camr vlog about same place same stupa but you are exploring true architecture culture and beauty of city !!!❣️
Appreciate it 🙏
As you have seen, there are plenty of wells and open taps and that's why it is imp. to make roads of bricks. If we plaster all the roads then rainwater wont get inside the soil to recharge the wells and taps so if we pave our roads with bricks, water will drip through it and it recharges the natural underground water sources.
That’s interesting mate, thanks for the explanation
Wow thank you. Never thought about it.
Cool, I basically born and raised there brother. Yeah Bhaktapur is the rich in art and architecture with beautiful history. Be there to enjoy the jatras brother. Good vibes only, Currently I'm in england for my study.
Hope you’re having a good time in England. I hear it’s quite hot there atm
@@Craig_Black yeah summer times, temperature kinda rising these days.
About 90% viewers are nepali ! Becoz we love nepal ! One heart for nepal 🥰🇳🇵
My favourite city in nepal:Bhaktapur,its what it is most ancient
Thank you for promoting our tourism ❤️
Yep! I am already planning to visit Nepal. He sold me on it!!!
3:43 love the way ur showing every little detail ,it is really touching TT ur probably the only one tourist who took interest in it thankyou
Glad you enjoyed it 🤙
I missed my hometown . #Bhaktapur (Bhadgaun)..
It looks a Roman city civilization. The architecture is stunning!!! You are right, it is so underrated city. Isn't the whole city a UN Heritage site?
I think so yeah
Finally Bhaktapur. 💙Hometown💙
Beautiful my motherland Nepal 🇳🇵 I love my country Nepal 🇳🇵❤️❤️❣️
She’s a good’n
@@Craig_Black Yes dear friend thank you 😊
awesome vlog
The reason why it's lower is they used to be fed by natural water streams that flows under the soil. But with the construction of houses around, all of those natural stream has dried up and most of running stone taps are now fed with pipes.
Thanks for the explanation bro
@@Craig_Black and balen shah is thinking of reviving dhunge dharas in Kathmandu
Visit lumbini bro famous place of Nepal
@@Craig_Black those temple and city are really old bro .like from the time of egyptian civilization 😀.you can learn a lot about history from those temples
Who is complete God?
The Holy Bible gives the answer to this question. Let's find out.
Iyov 36:5 - Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)
See, El is Kabir, and despiseth, not any; He is Kabir in ko’ach lev (strength of understanding).
Translation: Supreme God is Kabir, but despises no one. He is Kabir, and firm in his purpose.
In all Bible translations, the word Kabir has been translated as "Mighty" or "Great" whereas Kabir is the original name of Supreme God.
Conclusion: This verse of the Bible proves that Kabir is Complete God. The one who worships God Kabir by taking initiation from the complete saint sent by him gets complete salvation. After attaining salvation that souls rest in peace in the eternal abode Satlok forever. The throne of God is in Satlok.
This is actually very close to where I live! I even think I recognize some of the people in your video! super awesome to see Bhaktapur get recognition and I love your attention to detail! The flower patterns you see on the floor are found on the main doorstep of almost every household and it's significant for morning worship!
Quite detailed, difference between a traveller and a tourist is quite evident. You sir, are a traveller.
Started in Bhaktapur & ended in Pokhara! Cheers man!
You have a good eye
Bhaktapur is Awesome
Namaste and Thankyou for pointing out that the Pagoda style originated in Nepal also even from Kathmandu. People tend to have a misconception about it originating from China. Awesome video keep em coming! 🇳🇵
true. The architecture originates from Kathmandu
11.8 that is my place where I am born it's called Pottery square I can see my mom doing her work thanks a lot for traveling our beautiful place Bhaktapur and nepal
Thank you for portraying our country in a beautiful way. Much love from Nepal🇳🇵
Your narration is top class and you handle the material very sensitively. It is endearing. Besides you have done research too.
Thanks brother
Love from Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
Heaven is myth but Nepal is real
hlo big fan
Thank you so much for exploring Nepal .
Nice fact about the pagoda temples. Newar history is quite far reaching the more I learn about it. I remember reading that back then Chinese commissioners were sent to visit Nepal, I think around 8th or 7th century, and were impressed by pagoda temples in Newar kingdoms. At that time there weren't any such architecture in China. This started the exchange on pagoda designs with China.
You are such a soul traveller ...i believe lots of viewer specially the foreigner find your vlog gratifying and sparking their interest in travelling Nepal once in a lifetime. Thanks brother .
From Bhaktapur , Nepal 🇳🇵🤟🏼
I absolutely love the architecture and handicrafts the carvings and all arts it's really pretty, amaze me every time.. I look with awe like a child everytime I see these
Bro... You have some impressive knowledge about Newars and Kathmandu valley. Thanks for sharing knowledge to all the people watching this. Being a Newar, its very great to watch.🖤
VERY INTRESTING VDO.
That is hitimonga, a water monster which provides water
That architecture shows how beautiful our ancestors are wow..💕
You are living a lifetime experience man, do enjoy every bit of it...
Everybody who has a chance to be in Nepal...are living a precious experiance...JAI BHOLENATH
Believe me I watch every vlog that is made on my country Nepal I mean every vlog from all the popular vloggers. But I've never felt goosebumps not even when I watched Harold Balr videos like I felt on this video. Keep it up bro
He’s a true man
He is the best. Used to love herald balders videos. But real budget traveller is my favourite now.👍
Thank you man for showing the world this great land and historical place. And the road is made up of brick to recharge the ground water as it absorbs the rain water.
The way you say Namaste, is really amazing 😍
Bro We Just Love to Watch Your Videos. Thanks For Visiting Our Country brother ❤️ Keep Uploading.
Lots of love from Nepali Fam.
Thank you brother, I appreciate all the support 🙏
I hope you liked it, Thank you so much for explaining everything in detail..
It was awesome
Mass urbanization and disregard for local culture is almost bleeding this city dry .
Kathmandu valley: The city of mystic and wonder...
Welcome to Nepal, Land of Himalayas and architetucture...
you are awesome ! You narrate all each and every small things and old structure which is very important to know and most visitors ignore it !
Thank you for your kindness, I’m glad you enjoyed it.
@@Craig_Black most wellcome dude ! M waiting for ur upcomming videos visiting nepal !
22:12 that's because water can penetrate through brick pavement and helps in ground water recharge!
Beautiful vlog...✅🇳🇵🇳🇵
Thank you 🙏
You are more than a vlogger bro. Have a nice stay in Nepal.
Beautiful Nepal. I'm so big fannn ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 🙏
Love from bhaktapur ❤️ if you need a friend I live here
Namaste I'm from Nepal 🙏🙏🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
I appreciate your true words to the place which is underrated, hopefully everyone would know how beautiful Nepal and its culture is. Thank you again.
21:46 it's the best road which keeps our mother earth alive. It's durable as well. Only thing is, if we keep it dirty for a longer time, it gets slippery, especially in the rainy season.
Beautifully covered.. great content..
Deserve more subscribers
Ah I appreciate it a lot
Proud to be Nepali 🇳🇵🇳🇵
Brick roads are better than pitch road because they allowed water to absorb through them more naturally. bricks have amazing longevity and are very durable.Bricks became a great option for creating streets, because they were extremely durable.
wow very danger place nice vloging sir❤️❤️🙏🙏
First I also have no idea for what was the use of those bricks on road. I hoped that they should have black topped that road.
But those bricks have positive impact for our nature. Bricks helped to absorbed the water during rainfall and they helped to recharge our water resources. This knowledge is I get from our kathmandu mayor @Balen sir. Thank you sir providing me such a great information so that I can share this information to other as well.
Really amazed to see how you went through all the details even having less information ..thank you True Budget Travelling 🙏
Thank you so much make wonderful video ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great video man! Love to see different places being visited! I'll be heading to Nepal soon I can't wait looks amazing! 😎
Make sure you check out Bhaktapur! It is special!
I recommend you to go to temple changunarayan it is the first temple built in Nepal. Also the main door of the temple is made with gold. And the doors of pashupati nath temple was inspired by this temple. Also it is said thereis a huge rice grain which is from c.450ce also called Lichhavi period in Nepal.
My hometown
I really wanted your channel to be recognized by more and more people. Your contents are being great day by day!!💖,
17.13 it's my maternal uncle house where we had made childhood memories.. we played In these places..we just grownups...now♥️
🇳🇵▶️❣️ thank you 🙏sir
In old ages the watertap were natural and had intricate waterways underground but nowadays due to global warming and earthquakes the waterways are stopped and there is a pipe system connected to main provider which sends water at schedule times
Will always gonna appreciate your efforts to promote our country nepal sir!!
7:34 The tap are below ground level because no water springs flow to the top of ground level ,water table is below the ground level ,all water collected and recharged in monsoon and formed a water bearing stratum called aquifer .So the aquifer are generally below the ground level in big valley .
Really appreciate your explanation brother
I’ve been busy with work and it’s incredible to come back and see you channel has grown from 1k to 34k!!! You deserve it!!!
It’s pretty crazy, I don’t know what’s happened lol
Bhaktapur Municipality gives 35% of the cost for artistic wooden doors and windows. But the wood and the cost of such work is getting higher and higher that people with less money but who needs home are building houses with aluminium windows. So far the City has preserved its originality pretty well, but the municipality must have to do more.
The streets in Bhaktapur are paved with bricks. This helps the earth soak water when it rains. This keeps the wells in the city with water. This also saves streets from sink holes. However, the brick street does require frequent maintenance.
however, the ongoing maintenance gives desperately needed work to the people - so actually it's a win-win situation. .Slight problem is the pollution caused by brick kilns in the Ktm valley. If the kilns could be powered by electricity made from hydro and/or solar, this would be even better. Another project for Balen ji :-)
Love the way u explain 👌
8:30 those stone taps are called "Hiti" in newari language and "dhunge dhara" in Nepali. They do not have any mechanical parts. Its totally based on ground water. Interestingly, it is one of the oldest and still in use water supply system in asia. It may look simple but it has very complex system under ground which supplies water without the help of any external force. But unfortunately due to unplanned urbanization and over consumption of ground water, these hitis don't work nowdays. But on a positive side, community and city authority are experimenting with refilling the ground water artificially rather than letting nature do it which would take decades. Water is the backbone of newa civilization after all its the primary source for food security. Hitis are considered equally important as temples.

Love you a lot bro ... always love and support from Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵❤️
hey, its my hometown. Thank you for the video😊
1:06 My homeland. The lhonhiti(stone tap) where I spent my childhood . The temple you had shown is known as Navadurga Temple.
bro you are a true explorer
In Nepal, Ganesh or Ganapati is a Tantrik deity and is worshiped in both Shaiva (Shiva) Tantra and also Vajrayana Tantrik Buddhism, together with Saraswati and some other deities that are syncretic to both traditions.
My home town ❤️🇳🇵
3:56 you know what mate, you are the first person in entire Neplese history nobody ever showed Dregon sculpture, first time I noticed Dregon sculpture in Nepal. You should make special video highlighting about it.Nepalese people don't know this, how old is it.
We have snakes, God goddesses, lions, birds, peacocks, elephants, deities, but Dregon, this is the only one. I never saw one.
But matters is it newly sculpted or old one.
The one he showed Dragon is not a dragon but a mythical creature called Hiti Manga. I also commented about it, so you can also read it up. Well, talking about dragon sculptures, you will find it on most of the Mahaviharas - the ancient Buddhist monasteries of the valley
@@frannkeyfranz Hiti Manga definitely dragon, perhaps Newari term for dragon. Thanks for information.
@@station2248 no. Dragons do have a different local term, don't get mixed up on it. If you know Golden temple, please do visit there - you will find century old dragon sculptures of metal and also engraved in wood carvings too. Dragons are known as Mipwala, a mythical creature that holds three jewels and is a creature from Bajrayana Buddhism that is practiced in the valley. You may find sculpture of dragons on every place where Bajrayana, Mahayana and Sutrayana sect of Buddhisms are practiced. Dragons are not new for newars as they had it for centuries but sadly its a forgotten creature now
@@station2248 Hiti Manga, is a mythical creature believed to bring the monsoon. Its a creature with crocodile's face and body, eyes of deer, ears of boar or pig, trunk of an elephant and horns of sheep. As it is associated with monsoon, you will it in every water spouts here. The round designs on the neck of water spout is about the monsoon clouds that are ready to bring water on the ground. This is how artistically and symbolically a water spout represents about water. Hiti Manga do have it's own form and myths.
@@frannkeyfranz Very interesting bhai.
Thank you for exploring my country ❤️🇳🇵
Thank you for promoting nepals culture🙏🙏🇳🇵
Namaste.
Lot's of love brother from Nepal ❤️❤️❤️
You get to experience everything in its natural authentic state in Nepal be it nature (The Himalayas, greenery, naturally flowing rivers) , rich and diverse Culture , Art or Tradition. The ancient city of #Bhaktapur full of tradition, culture and craft is till date preserved as 'Open Museum'. Thankyou for the visit and acknowledgement .
Seems that you are genuinely competent as you can simplify and deep dive instantly. thanks for visiting my country and sharing the knowledge.
Here after the first vid of yours, there you mentioned about how the doors of the old houses to be small. Its not because the people there were short, but the people not only in newari culture but everywhere else have short doors (mostly old houses). It resembels their home to be a sacred place as a temple where you bow down to show a sign of respect. They were intended to be short.
my best bro thank you for your huge respect against cpec friendship countries lot of love from your cousin viki 💙
🙏 namaste
great video I really want to go there!
It’s an awesome place and I only showed a tiny amount. Not even that much of the main city so it’ll be a great surprise if you go there.
