Ben, I’m not normally one for leaving comments, but have to say that I picked up on your channel due to your connection with Baldy. You are right up there m8, love everting you post. Keep up the quality.
Welcome aboard!
@@BackpackerBen Bloody filthy disgusting 🤮 white English dude. When you travel different places you got respect there’s cultural traditions value social life. Get out from my country I have seen your country as well millions of people in poverty more crime child abused poor health care system lack of education hunger homeless children’s,Middlesbrough, Wells, Hull City,Liverpool,knowsley London East end,Manchester,Blackpool ,west Middle lack of sanitation poor dirty people can not afford Electricity or care own child.Bro your country has bigger problems bigger issues than my country. Your country is not Great Britain anymore 👎Poor Britain. See you cannot afford 500 rupee knife less than 4 pound. Because of you’re poor.
Don't know if it was just the editing but pleasantly surprised to see how clean the streets of Kathmandu looked compared to other major cities in neighbouring countries like India and Pakistan.
Yes it’s definitely cleaner here compared to those places
That's coz of our respected mayor Balen Shah❤
@katmandu-uc9lthe is not saying other cities are not clean. He’s just saying ktm is getting cleaner because of the new mayor. Why you so salty for no reason 😂
@katmandu 😂😂
@katmandu you seems the jhole of political parties
11:01 "that sounded like my morning fart" - 🤣 it was impossible not to say anything.
GOOD MORNING ALL, NAMASTE! Where you all from? let me know
USA 🇺🇸 worse than Kathmandu
Kenya USA cmoooon
Nepal
Ireland.
Adelaide Australia
you need to slow down and make a circle with your wrist, don't make the circle with your hand to get the sound. The way it works is that you push the vibration around the bowl and it gets stronger and louder.
Shipping from Nepal is actually pretty efficient and quick.
Riding a motorbike in Kathmandu was by far the most stressful experience off my life , even the petrol stations are absolute carnage, glad you survived in one piece 😃
Out off interest what was the maddest thing you saw there? For me it was a goat tied to the top of a car - live , it looked absolutely terrified 😢
Tell me about it. Regretted immediately
Silly idea 😬
Well there ain't no rules and regulations for transporting goats on top of vehicle 😂😂
try downtown Toronto during rush hr , what a f ing shit show .
500 $ , how much content do you think i will remeber ? if he dad tits and a see threw shirt hell yes
Wooooo hoooo another video! I’m so excited!
Ben definitely my top travel vlogger at the moment.
Legend!
I was in Katmandu in the late 90's, went there to listen to Prem Rawat speak. It was sooo much quieter then than now. Stayed in a small hostel where they served the BEST scrambled eggs I have ever tasted.
A lot of places seem to have gotten busier around the World. And crazier.
"Hotter than the sun"! That cracked me up! 🤣🤣🤣💕🇬🇧
Another great vlog! Thank you so much! Well enjoyed cafe food at the end!
Congratulations 🎊 ❤
You are exploring my beautiful Nepal 🇳🇵 ❤
Good videos ❤
It will be nice to see you in nepal again and next time please come after doing some good research on where to go, when to go, what to look for and especially how to reach there. On your last sarangkot video you took some really bad road when there are numerous well made roads to reach there.😊
I love how your videos has a bit more of an 'amateurish' feel to them, much better than other travel vloggers! Hope you visit South Korea sometime (and visit some of the lesser known cities where people are more rural)
lol its because they are more amateurish. his camera and editing skills, are, ahem....humble :P
This makes me appreciate the quiet and serenity of Tokyo even more.
Tokyo is the dream. Best city on earth
@@BackpackerBen I love Tokyo. Was there in 2013 and will go back for sure.
@@BackpackerBenkorek❤❤❤
My son really wants to visit Tokyo. He's only 17 now but in a few years hell be ready to go, unfortunately due to my disability I can't travel that far, too long of a journey from Michigan. I know he's gonna love it.
Crazy traffic glad you got through enjoying all your videos Ben 💙 going through housing crisis with my son pets so I look forward to your adventures love from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks for the video! Was fun to watch
Have a good rest break Ben, stay safe and healthy.
@14:28s you know he is pro guide when he starts his name and goes into his life history.
I wish Ben stopped interrupting him when he was trying to explain the temple.
Quality video mate. Well done😊
Nepal looks wicked!! I'd love to check it out one day.
What do you mean by wicked?? Damn it
Great episode mate. 👍🏼
“Where’s the main temple?” There are temples everywhere!
Ben it's so much better you doing longer vlogs mate..long time coming.. 💯👍☀️🙌
0:18 damn that was close!
Ben, loved this vlog!
Loved the food blog, left us wanting by not actually telling us what it is or made of, and finished with an alan partridge reference, cracker.
I thought you were going to say you were off to the mountains to try Mad Honey!🐝🤭Cheers from Aussie👍
I am originally from Nepal and currently living in England. Thank you for exploring our beautiful Country Nepal.
Do you see any British thanking Southeast Asian tourist while they're in their country?
You met some good people and I like the meditation bowl.Hopefully you are well insured for riding the bike. I think that the spitting would be a step too far for me. I wouldn't have any appetite for the lovely food after coping with that.Good luck
Ben.😊
Those electricity poles are mental. 😧
Mostly (old) telephone & internet cables .. If you move to a new provider they just add a new cable to the nearest switch.
The top 3 ones are for electricity
amazing video. ben, you do a great job talking to the camera
Let’s go 🎉
i'm surprised ben survived the chaotic traffic of ktm, i hope amazing food, people and exotic places relief your stress and confusion that's done.
That was some smooth haggling with the bowl guy. Impressed!
Neat to see but I'll stay in northern Ontario Canada, 200 kms south of James Bay/Hudson Bay.
Ben, your ear for pronouncing words people tell you, in their language, is hilariously awful! LOL! Great vid's man. Enjoying your perspective.
Fun video with Ben
Cost of living has killed my ability to travel. Love living vicariously through your travels Ben.
Appreciate you watching bro
December 1988, late at night in Kathmandu. The woman I recently met who is going on the same trek as I the next morning joined me for dinner and a late night of hot buttered rum by the fire at the Rhumdoodle. We begin the walk back to the guest house and passing a bar with the sound of good jazz wafting into the street we go in. We are invited by two Nepalis and a Brittish woman to join them for yet more drinks. By this time my companion is completely drunk. Later that night we drove with them to a square to get donuts and feeling a bump while driving the woman in front turns and says "they ran him over!" as they kept driving. At the square they started to seem threatening toward us so we walked off into the night not knowing where we were, me telling my companion to keep moving if they come at us while I will stay back to confront them. Hours later we find ourselves sitting across the narrow road from each other near our guest house, kind of in shock and talking about what had happened. No one is on the street. What looks like a covered military truck drives up and stops between us and the soldier or policeman in front calls my companion to his window. Talking rapidly and aggressively at her I know this is trouble. I walk around the back of the truck to make my way to her and looking inside the back I see soldiers sitting on benches and a seemingly lifeless body face down on the floor. Trouble. I get to her, grab her arm, profusely in pretend ignorance I thank the soldier questioning her, and quickly walk her to the door of the guest house praying it is unlocked. It opens as we get to it and an arm reaches out and pulls us in. Memories of late night Kathmandu...a year later we are married.
We need more people on the planet. There's just not enough.
thank you so much brother support my country 🇳🇵🙏♥️
I always wondered about that one picture of wires bunched up was in just one place. Looks like it's everywhere. Thanks for sharing.
watching this makes me yearn for Mr. Bald's journeys through the Soviet Union.
Mate those roads look chaotic! People just walking across not even looking 🤣
Pure stress man
It really piss me off to see the shopkeepers charging him extra money... I wish people were honest
He got scammed
That ‘guide’ was eyeing up your wallet 😂
Man you are brave riding that scooter in city traffic in Nepal😂 Its total chaos...hahaha....😂❤👍
Sir please visit Bhaktapur and patan city too just few kms from Kathmandu
Way more peace,clean and unchaotic and more cultural heritages and good local foods in cheap price too..
Benjamin not only lacks knowledge about British history, but he is also even unaware of how the Gurkhas (with their Khukuri) saved British Empire around the world. It shows that Ben is a kid without any prior knowledge of his own history and of the sacrifices Gurkhas made for white Britons. This makes me just laugh!
Reminds me of India so much especially with the horn blowing
TH-cam doesn't censor your words how cool! I have never been to Kathmandu or India but moved to Thailand 24 years ago from Boulder, Colorado, U.S. where I became a Tibetan Buddhist from Tibetan Buddhist Masters visiting Boulder, ODD Huh! I certainly wouldn't like motorcycling around Kathmandu that's for sure! Plus I would dislike very much those kids wanting to get on TH-cam and swarming around me, Yikes!
driving in any new city on a motorbike is stressful as you dont know the ways of the road, and dont know where you are going. Stay a while and it becomes second nature...but agreed its not for tourists. I live in Bali and see them come a cropper every day
That tour guide was great in the little time you were with him.
Durban square, cloaked in heavy fog, so early the rickshaw drivers are asleep on the street. Silence, peace, the old woman pours an offering on the ancient lingum, almost completely alone we two. That memory, walking in solitude embraced by the fog into the square at 4:30 AM long ago, has never left me.
Thanks Ben stay safe 🙏
It's surprising to me that people have such good English there and also as others mentioned before the streets look pretty clean
You're a brave soul Benjamin
Amazing video Ben
Adventure as always 🎉🎉🎉
Wow. I would've given up on driving myself especially when the traffic officer WALKED right in front of you. Manic is a perfect description. @10:55, 🤣😂
Wowwwww.,hard adventure there 😊
It's like a race driving it seems that's awesome
"It doesn't do it when I do it."
Hahahaha, awesome mate. 👌
Those power poles give me anxiety
😆💀 death traps
I got 2 knifes and a stand from exact same place about 10 years ago. Put it in the Check-in luggage, no problems.
What a place Ben take your life in your own hands . Ben try Bulgaria / Serbia
you're actually so good at bartering with those street vendors.
id of ended up being talked into buying the shit bowl for like 10,000 lol
2 weeks is enough rest , we need more videos
Hotter than the Sun! 🍏🥟Great video!
Like watching Horace Goes Skiing. Crazy place.
Great vlog I was told if koori comes out got to draw blood I served with Gurkhas in falklands Great soldiers
Nearly took a pole to my eye 🤣😂🤣 LMAO...
Backpacker “I've got my bowl” Ben 😁
Sounds like your morning farts lol made me laugh that plus the guy carried on blowing it 😅😅
Driving they roads ben 😅squeaky bum time lol the people seem very friendly 🫡
Cool purchase - Tibetan Singing Bowls are very famous.
Very nice video keep it up sir
A very interesting city ! Thx.
Love your Brit slang your true down to earth nature I am Brit heritage way back on Dads side love Britain devoted subscriber Australia 🇦🇺 💚
Awesome! Thank you! I miss Australia and the banter there, class
👍🏻👍🏻
One word for this video: MENTAL.
Ben deserves adequate downtime to recover.
Mate I’m dying and finished. Get me home 🤝
A Momo is a dumpling and very enjoyable. Yes, they are still hot inside when they are just cooked
Mate, if you are going to do stuff like this, make sure it is in a country with decent hospitals. Go well.
Hi dad
The only danger in those places is the danger of people bumping into you accidentally.
I went to Durbar Square in 1996 and it was nowhere near as hectic. Still, you could not just sit by yourself and watch the word, hawkers came at you all the time... It must be far worse for that now.
Almost can't believe that chaos, oh my... And those electricity wires.... 😅😂
Mumbai is way more mental at night than Kathmandu also less people trying to scam you covertly in Kathmandu. It’s pretty overt 😂
I am Nepalese living in UK. Your momo review should be better 😅. Knife you talking about is also called Gurkha Knife. Where is Bald anyway? Is he been kidnapped by Mongolian? Anyway we are also descendent of Mongolians…
He’s still in Mongolia
10.55 the Nepalese man with the bowl says "mincer,mincer" honest🤔👍🤗🤗.....2021 Alan Partridge did the same thing with an Apple turnover from the petrol station....7 minutes microwave 👌😆😆
Can you visit some Hispanic countries like more of south and Central America
you need to practice on the bowl. I have one from Nepal and can do on second try. It's for meditations, so focus on technique is important. My Nepali friend brought me the Gurkha knife from visiting his family there. Just not carryon. Since you are from UK, you should know about the Gurkha warrior - they were hired by the Brits during the wars, including against Japan in WW2 and still train in the UK to this day.
Funny when you tried to do it, and said "doesn't work when I do it" with your fingers touching the side, so no vibrations = no sound. It'll work great probably on a flat hard surface.
Another great video! When are you planning on coming to America? Or do you have to wait a few years because you recently went to Afghanistan and Iraq.
Yep I’m off limits to that until I get an embassy appointment
where do you mount the camera while riding?
I get the spitting thing... Its "culture" in bognor regis high street
Funny how a simple video can make you stressful. People honking their horns for no reason, dangerous driving, constant noise...I guess that's what ants' life's all about.
You can take a knife in check-in luggage. Generally no issues
The UK is a nanny police state from hell.
I've been to Yala cafe!
