Best video yet. This was so cool. Also, for a guy that complains loudly and doesn't care for manual labor, you showed your true colors: humble, patient and tough. Keep going.
Absolutely loved this video, big respect to you for trying out and getting fully involved in the Nepalese lifestyle and culture; they're very hardworking, humble people! 😊 Favourite video of yours yet! 👏
You have inspired me to try and pursue my own back packing journey, I’ve just left school and finished my a levels and I’m going to just crack on as soon as possible mate, I’m gonna take my go pro camera across Europe and North Africa and possibly even to Iraq after seeing your video there, hopefully I can create stories as interesting as yours. Thank you for putting this content out Ben!
Ben I think this is my favorite video of your's. Good job not giving up! I really appreciate how you immersed yourself in to the work. It really showed how hard they work every day to live. Thank you 😊👍!
This is the best video I've seen from you yet, Ben. They make that work look so easy. I loved how you got right in it and showed us westerners what it'd be like for us to do this kind of labor. They were so friendly. It made me want to visit. Awesome job on this one!
@ 10:54 when Ben opens the door to the hotel room, the sun shines across the mountains and the rooster lets out his call. What a spectacular view to start off the day! 🇳🇵☀️🐓🌄
Thank you for doing the Real Life Cultural experience… such eyes opening ( i am not tough enough to do any of it even when the opportunity arises ). I wish they would use a bigger digging tool, why so small anyway? Ben, you are a GREAT content creator! Thanks ❤
My hats off to you Ben for having the guts to trying the Nepalese villagers life style😂 its tough mate😂 but a very healthy life style indeed. Much love❤ to the people of Nepal👏👍
@@BackpackerBen great vid Ben. What an insight into how our ancestors lived and worked. Imagine living like this in England mate. That’s how 95% of people did until a few hundred years ago.
Loved this video. Napal is definitely on my bucket list. Ben you have surpassed a lot of the other youtubers out there. Definitely in my top 3 out of 50+ subscriptions
Best video yet Ben! Just playing catch up on videos due to being in hospital but that was amazing. Nepal looks a great country. Keep up the great content 👏
Ben, so glad this video was more than 30 minutes. It could have been 2 hours and I would watch. Fascinating. And that slip on the boulder was epic. Crack on!
The dishwasher soap flavor could cilantro/corriander since many people think the herb resembles soap flavor. I used to hate cilantro and after years of trying to like it, finally I do! You can change your palate.
Fantastic video. The people in the village seem wonderful. Such great vibes. Love the plowing with the 2 buffalo. The last buffalo you milked was flicking her ears and looking like she was saying thank you. Beautiful animals. Well done Ben.
This place reminds of Mizoram, India too where I stayed for some time. Nepali people also like to stay in Mizoram also. They carry the baskets in Mizoram too traditionally and farm similarly. I love this simple style of life, seems rewarding but hard work. Instead of going to the expat communities for remote work, nice to go to these places, sometimes they do have alright Wifi.
Mate if you ever come back to the Philippines you can rent a motorbike and have a road trip to Baler on the north of Luzon. I've heard in one of you Q and A that you used to surf a lot, well, Baler is the birthplace of Philippine surfing. the roads are fully cemented so you won't struggle like this and there are a lot of zigzag roads and cliffs and the scenery is just insane. it's a must do when you're in the Philippines.
You're so young seeing the world and making a lifetime memory for you and us to enjoy, well done just for that, It's always been my dream being a travel youtuber but so afraid to start and even when I go abroad I suck at doing anything interesting.
I'd be asking how far away the hospital is doing all that work at that altitude.. good on you for doing all that Ben and awesome Nepalese hosts! Awesome video!
Great one Ben, really reminds one to be grateful for some things we take for granted. On another note though, why not walk the goats up to the leaves to eat!? Then put baskets on the goats to carry leaves back down for later too? And those leaf baskets... no shoulder straps? Just ALL NECK? Wouldn't shoulder + head spread the load better? You are a trooper carrying that thing 30 minutes down to the village. They should just harness up the goats with baskets they are great pack animals, I mean think about it... the goats get to laze around while the humans bring leaves from 30 minutes away! Something isn't right with that picture!
Love your videos from Australia , I grow up in rural Nepal as well and used to go Jungle every morning before school. Even though it was bit hard but also enjoyed.
In my trip to Nepal I saw the mountains for only 2 hours for the whole 2 weeks of travel. It looks like your luck may be similar. What a great experience getting to do some of the farm work. Everyone works so damn hard.
Thank you visiting for our beautiful country nepal❤❤ Great opportunity to know and learn Nepalese working styles,about culture ,food .people of nepal are so kind humble and helpful .😊😊
The digging part was exactly like any archaeological excavation - the students struggle and get exhausted plus sunburned while the locals hired for work are doing the heavy stuff, including the 15 years old kids who carry stones while having fun, women who handle the pickaxe better than any city man etc
I was born and raised in MalBazar, a place just 2hours from the Nepal border and we had many Nepali people living in the area and so many Nepali students in my school. My biggest regret is not learning to speak Nepali. I had Marwari and Bengali friends so I learnt those languages alongwith Punjabi/Hindi/English, but I wish I had made more nepali friends. There was only so much time. I can say basic stuff, I definitely can understand more than speak but still not at the level that I understand proper conversations. My wife is Gujarati so I can understand most of it now and it has similarity to Nepali.
Fab video. I felt your neck. Those school kids were gorgeous happy souls. I would have been watching out for the snakes. Milking the buffalo brought back memories of my mum milking the house cow. Thanks again Ben. You are the ultimate tourist guide. ❤
Nepali are great! Very curious and want to knowabout all. Most safe country travelling. It takes a few weeks to fully adept, once you get it you want to stay. Beer is pretty expensive. Tuborg was 660ml 600/700 last year. Thats the same as having dinner in a good restaurant. For non drinkers but perhaps smokers, its heaven. If you dont do both it could be a bit dull. Or climb another mountain. Always cheap😂
@17:18 I especially liked the panic that overcame the workers, when you were about to destroy hours of sharping efforts of the sickle with a single stroke of the sharp edge against the piece of rock.
thank you to Kabi once again for hosting me in his village, the people of Nepal are the best. 💛
You did a good job on the field
The audio is out of sync with the video when I watch this on Android TV. It's fine on my PC though.
Awesome video mate ❤ but I’m also getting the sound sync issue on my TV
Audio defo out !
FVCK i try to watch but can't the audio is out Sync .,......why Ben whyyyyyyy???
That village is literally the best place I've been to in Nepal. Kabi is the world's number one guide!
Agreed mate! Thanks for recommending this to me
What is its name ? I didn't catch it in the introduction ? 👍
Waiting for your videos too, brother.
Kabi
@@BackpackerBen Thanks mate 👏👏
Best video yet. This was so cool. Also, for a guy that complains loudly and doesn't care for manual labor, you showed your true colors: humble, patient and tough. Keep going.
Wish he did more days. Loved it
I teared up a bit when Ben said goodbye to the father. What a wholesome video, I loved every second of it.
Absolutely loved this video, big respect to you for trying out and getting fully involved in the Nepalese lifestyle and culture; they're very hardworking, humble people! 😊 Favourite video of yours yet! 👏
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah they are great people
I don't think Ben is cut out for hard labor but what a trooper for staying the course and doing the job. Great video.
You show that people an enormous amount of respect by trying to blend in with their lives. Absolutely great! Ralf
This is the season where all the harvesting starts
Whenever ben uploads you just know its going to be a banger. ben and bald are like the only 2 people i watch for travelling, feels rly authentic.
My man 🤝

You should follow harald baldr as well
@@nickbarritt8355Ouuuu yeaahhhh, Harold is the absolute legend on youtube hehe. Not to forget his hunt for the "Fine White Wine Man" 😂😂😂😂😂

Latest videos have been brilliant Ben...best ever
Cheers son
I agree
Superb video mate! I've wanted to go to Nepal for a long time, but keep putting it off. Watching your videos has made me determined to go. Cheers Ben!
Go for it! Enjoy mate
The children at the end were so gosh darn cute giving Ben high 5's ! What a beautiful culture and sense of community ☺️
Nepal it is 🇳🇵
That was a crackin' video mate!!
Your content surpasses reality sir!!!
Keep going and stay safe.
Kat is waiting for your return...
Wow such kind generous people. So beautiful there. 😊😊😊
How wonderful Kabi and his family are and how gracious they were to you. A fantastic and interesting video, Ben. One of your best.
Can't beat a bit of Backpacker Ben. Brilliant video, giving an insight into what happens elsewhere in the world.
Appreciate that mate
Best 😊
what an amazing experience. so glad you got to meet that generous family and take part of their life. So glad you could share with us.
Ben, you’re an absolute mad lad. I love it. We’re here for your suffering😂
It neded more moans 😂
Thank you for doing the Real Life Cultural experience… such eyes opening ( i am not tough enough to do any of it even when the opportunity arises ). I wish they would use a bigger digging tool, why so small anyway? Ben, you are a GREAT content creator! Thanks ❤
Appreciate it 👏🏼 no idea why the tools are this way
My hats off to you Ben for having the guts to trying the Nepalese villagers life style😂 its tough mate😂 but a very healthy life style indeed. Much love❤ to the people of Nepal👏👍
Yo! Mad respect to Ben for all that very difficult work!! Also I'm glad he didn't hit his bare feet with that metal tool...
Fantastic episode mate, it makes everyone back home realise how lucky we really are xx
Well said
What a wonderful vlog, one of the most moving I’ve seen you post. You’re glowing by the end of it, mate! Thanks especially for this one.
What makes me really want to travel to Asian countries is the friendly and humble people there like this family
Kabis English was very good. What an awesome family. Makes you appreciate the easy lives we have.
Well said
So great to see these beautiful hard working, kind, lovely people. Fabulous vid
Proper grafters. Respect to them
@@BackpackerBen great vid Ben. What an insight into how our ancestors lived and worked. Imagine living like this in England mate. That’s how 95% of people did until a few hundred years ago.
Great video, Ben. I’ve watched all of your vids but this is by far the most captivating…looking forward to more
Awesome, thank you!
Congratulations for your amazing video. Kabi and his family are very heart-warming people.
Yes they are! Great people
Great job Ben!! Always noble to help the locals!
What a fantastic and insightful video into the culture and way of living. The food looks amazing and I very much look forward to your next video.
Loved this video. Napal is definitely on my bucket list. Ben you have surpassed a lot of the other youtubers out there. Definitely in my top 3 out of 50+ subscriptions
Awesome! Thank you!
Best video yet Ben! Just playing catch up on videos due to being in hospital but that was amazing. Nepal looks a great country. Keep up the great content 👏
One of your best video, very down to earth. ❤ thanks for taking us there.
Kabi is awesome so lovely to see him and his family again. Great video Ben 😊👍🏻
Ben, so glad this video was more than 30 minutes. It could have been 2 hours and I would watch. Fascinating. And that slip on the boulder was epic. Crack on!
Haha 😆 was agony can’t lie. Cheers mate
That dish soap flavor is the rose water used for flavoring. Us in the west use rose water as the main scent in our soap
Much love and respect to Ben and Nepal from Pakistan ❤
The dishwasher soap flavor could cilantro/corriander since many people think the herb resembles soap flavor. I used to hate cilantro and after years of trying to like it, finally I do! You can change your palate.
Nepalese are just so bloody tough no wonder they make superb soldiers. Great video again. I've been binge watching for 2 nights now.
What an experience Ben you surprise us all the time great video
Fantastic video. The people in the village seem wonderful. Such great vibes. Love the plowing with the 2 buffalo. The last buffalo you milked was flicking her ears and looking like she was saying thank you. Beautiful animals. Well done Ben.
That’s ox. Buffalo’s are only for meat and milk.
Animal that were used to plough were Ox not buffalo

Wow! What an awesome video 💕🥰I just can't imagine that life style 😁Stay safe and keep up the amazing adventures!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Woohoo new video!!! Yas!
Thanks for loving culture of Nepal 🇳🇵 ❤

Sound and image are not syncro anymore after you reach the tarmac road.
what you watching on
Same here on my Google TV, audio is fine on my phone (Samsung).
@@Tonyshandleyes TV a has an issue 🤷🏼♂️ weird mate
@@BackpackerBen Did you happen to use the TH-cam online editor? It's famous for messing up audio sync.
@@Tonyshandle YESSSSSS
You're so young seeing the world and making a lifetime memory for you and us to enjoy, well done just for that, It's always been my dream being a travel youtuber but so afraid to start and even when I go abroad I suck at doing anything interesting.
same
Great video Ben. Love too see the hardwork behind the journey. Take care.
Great episode! This constant struggle is awesome 😂
This may be your best ever video. Your TH-cam channel is the best channel I’ve come across; everything is so original and you’re you in the videos.
Thank you bro 😎
Wow, didn"t expect that ! The best vid from you
Is it just me or does the audio go abit wonky about the time you reach the tarmac?
Think my camera took damage from the roads 💀 hopefully rest sounds okay
@@BackpackerBen could you please re upload if possible? Your videos are pure fire these days 🔥🔥 we love your content.
Took 15 hours to upload this on this WiFi in Nepal 😆 so nah no way
I'd be asking how far away the hospital is doing all that work at that altitude.. good on you for doing all that Ben and awesome Nepalese hosts! Awesome video!
What a great video! Lovely hard working people and you tried your best ;)
That was so entertaining! They made you part of the family, hard working family 😅
Awesome video mate. Living the dream man.
Great one Ben, really reminds one to be grateful for some things we take for granted.
On another note though, why not walk the goats up to the leaves to eat!? Then put baskets on the goats to carry leaves back down for later too? And those leaf baskets... no shoulder straps?

Higher chances of getting goat eaten by tigers and leopards.
Love your videos from Australia , I grow up in rural Nepal as well and used to go Jungle every morning before school. Even though it was bit hard but also enjoyed.
Kabi, bless you and your beautiful family. Thank you for putting Ben to work.
I don't know you, but it's friggin hilarious watching Ben trying to do manual labor!
Great video Ben!
Thank you so much for exploring our nepalese village life stay healthy and safe ❤🎉🇳🇵jaya nepal
Great video Ben, when you handed the man the sharp knife. Glad towards him. I laughed my head off! I thought he hand was coming off haha
In my trip to Nepal I saw the mountains for only 2 hours for the whole 2 weeks of travel. It looks like your luck may be similar. What a great experience getting to do some of the farm work. Everyone works so damn hard.
Probably because you visited during the monsoon
Thank you visiting for our beautiful country nepal❤❤
Great opportunity to know and learn Nepalese working styles,about culture ,food .people of nepal are so kind humble and helpful .😊😊
Good vid Ben. Liked it. That guy was good. His phone was great.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Killing it with the videos lately, more than usual 👏👏👍👍
Thats my village dude 😅 good to see you in Nepal and Keep loving this beautiful country.
One of your best contents Benjamin. I really love that you emerge from Nepalese culture. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Woow what a humble and adorable person and honest kid i love you, thanks for visiting Nepal
I think you oughta do the Amish next
Would be well funny. He’d learn to build a house in a day 😆
That’ll be great can’t lie
Wow 😯
one of the chillest guy i have ever seen.. keep up the good work man!
Ben idk if you'll see this but your vids keep getting better and better!!! Keep it up !!!
Either I’m tripping or the audio out of sync ?
Me being a full Nepali urbanite, you've experienced rural Nepal more than I have!
