We figured out the only way to experience Bhutan’s famous Tiger’s Nest Monastery ALL alone, and it was SO WORTH IT. This awesome experience was organized by Breathe Bhutan, & we highly recommend them! www.breathebhu...
We hiked straight up over 4,000 feet (The Bumdra Trek) to a campsite in the middle of the stunning Himalayan Mountains of Bhutan. The reason we wanted to do this overnight hike was so that we could wake up at sunrise and be the first to hike down to visit the famous Tiger’s Nest Monastery. We thought that would be the highlight of the trip, but it turned out to be something entirely different :)

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the #travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this #travelvlog to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling! So we extended our 1 year trip to now FOUR years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before 2020! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
The BHUTAN's travel guide looks more like a new friend to keep forever rather than just a random guide! Very good human connection, just what I love to see!!!!
Joe Samson he looks like he is enjoying his job as a tour guide. Seems like a really nice guy.
Your guide seems to be the sweetest guy in the world 👍
Tshewang was awesome 🧡
Mina, I agree. He seems like he too likes Kara and Mate. A great guide sure can make or brake a trip. They wore him out!
Trust me l guides there are amazing and very friendly. For example, my guide was a very wealthy supreme court lawyer, and the son of the royal police chief. But he was an amazing and humble person who was a guide not for the money, but for the love of his country.
So toby if you're reading this, you're amazing
Mina Mina yes he is
I wonder how much this whole trip cost you especially with tourist Tsehwang, I maybe come to Bhutan for soul searching one day with my bestie :)
I’m always wondering what Kara and Nate are gonna do after they finish visiting there last country. I hope they don’t stop uploading I love u guys so much and i love watching your videos
Izzy Dizzy after the last country, I think a cool idea would be them doing a road trip across America
I hope they have kids and travel around with them as well
maybe they should do Africa...?
They bought a van and traveled around the USA
Recently I’ve been going back and watching old videos and I can’t believe the quality difference from videos just a year ago to now. Not only the quality of the videos but seeing Nate a Kara’s translation. Love you guys and can’t wait to see your 100th country video 😊😊😊
Aww thanks Emily ☺️💛
I just watched a video from Japan (4 years ago) and then this one, um, the quality is a world of difference BUT ALSO Nate's accent has disappeared?! 🤯 Kara and Nate I love you guys, your videos are getting me through the longest lockdown everrr in Melbourne, Australia! 💕
One of the things that I love about Kara is her appreciation of all the animals and wild life that she encounters and that she takes the time to interact and give them some of her time, attention and affection. Such a lovely and loving lady.
Been there 2 years back . It's surprising to see such diversity within South Asia . It's like heaven on earth . Love your content !
*South asia
@@Shivam7 thank you for the correction.
who else just gets excited when they seen a Kara and Nate update 😂🥰❤️
🙋♀️
I’m actually rooting for them to keep travelling immediately rather than hoping I start travelling soon 😂❤️
I LOVE YOU KARA AND NATE ❤️😍
That sunset drone shot made me cry. It’s the most beautiful shot of your entire 100 country series. Just unreal.
Me too, loved the sequence starting at 0:5:26 and track was perfect for it.
Seeing Kara give the puppies love warms my heart so much. Aspiring to be as cute & sweet as Kara 💗🤍
Y’all should do a like “4 Years In Review” video. Going over like your individual expectations of traveling and just how traveling has opened your minds and in what ways. Love the channel and can’t wait for 100th country reveal!!
Probably the coolest destination you’ve been as of yet!
Might be right 😍
Callie Mendoza so true 👍🏻💞
That drone shot with all the praying flags was just beautiful! So serene. Thanks for another good one ❤️
I think that’s the happiest sounding pronouncement of “it’s all downhill from here” I’ve ever heard ❤️😂
Eating some rice crispies over here and almost spit it out when I read your comment! This made me laugh out loud. Thank you! 😊
I have watched all your videos and I think your Bhutan series was one of the best you have done! Where you chose to go and what you saw was fantastic and the editing combined with the music was perfect! Has made me add Bhutan to my bucket list! You two are just so good at what you do and it has been a joy to watch!! I hope you continue on and I agree that the Discovery channel really needs to offer you A SERIES!! Be safe and happy travels!
"How neat is that? That's pretty neat" had me rollin' at work!
I almost wish this was country 100, so powerful & so different from the rest of Asia x
I know right😍
These videos and the Everest Base Camp series are probably your best so far.
Those drone shots!!! ❤️ Breathtaking! ❤️ Nate, they were absolutely stunning, and Kara, I love how you know how to incorporate everything and make these vlogs not just beautiful but just incredibly fascinating 🥰 I truly admire and wholeheartedly appreciate all that you both do to make these vlogs 🤗 Thank you! 🤗 And I’m so glad you had such a good guide who helped you guys ‘breathe’ so well 😅 Bhutan seems so amazing, and one day soon I hope to be able to see this wonderful Country; thank you for all the great tips interspersed throughout your vlogs ☺️ Hugs from across the World 🤗 Love, Esther ☺️
I did this a few months back. To beat the tourists I woke up at 4am and went there at 5am. Me and my guide ran up the mountain taking almost no break except for a much needed tea break. We reached from the bottom to the top in under an hour and a quarter hrs, including the break. Towards the end it gets much simpler, as there are steps.
But definitely taktsang hike was the highlight of my Bhutan trip, I was the first at the monastery. And it was beautiful. The guide said that it was his fastest time up
I was 15 at the time, I'm 16 now
You guys are the most luckiest people on earth...enjoying such beautiful places, carefree and without any restrictions and daily life tensions. Keep it up...and never stop exploring new places. Love from Canada
Oh Kara and Nate! I’m so proud of y’all! What a wonderful accomplishment! I wish I could be there at your 100th country party. I hope you feel loved, accomplished and celebrated because you deserve to be celebrated! Congrats guys.
The Happiest place on earth and all the phallic pictures everywhere. 🙏😇
😀😀😀
Being a Bhutanese myself, i never got to hike towards Bumdrak🤧🤦🏻♂️. I am happy that both of you showed me how Bumdrak really is. Makes me want to hike there more.
Kudos to both of you. Thanks for visiting Bhutan and loving every bits of it🤩.
Hello the Bhutan series are awesome! Thanks for taking the tougher trails in exchange for the more awesome views and footages. Been a fan since videos from years back. Thanks for investing in better equipments for improved footage! Hoping country 100 won’t come so soon - will miss having new videos to look forward to! =(
Kara and Nate are so nice , kind and is really smart . They are one of my fav UA-cam’s . And Kara and Nate keep on hiking .
I was there last month and it's mesemerising. So serene and such a break from the choas. Thanks for refreshing the trek. Great content.
I absolutely love this channel. You two are the gold standard for travel vlogging couples on UA-cam.
Breathtaking journey guys. You make it seemed so easy but you put lots of hats work sharing your experience. Can not wait on the 99 and 100. You guys rock. Peace and light
Brought back memories. I worked in Bhutan for 9 years. Will come back to see in the future.
Just discovered your channel few days ago and I got addictive wow guys thanks for sharing your happiness and help me with my future adventures around Cambodia 🇰🇭 Kara you have the most adorable smile ever..... 😂 lot of positive vibes from Paris 🇫🇷 Andrea ✌️😊
It’s so great to watch. I voted for Bhutan to be your 100th country. I’ve been watching you since you had less than 20K subscribers. It’s awesome you’re over 1 million now! Looking forward to your next videos. I also saw Eamon and Bec had a video with FareDrop in it. Keep going strong. I loved all the dogs you saw. I wouldn’t have left without wanting to take one.😊
The last 2 videos Kara "I will not be showering tonight!" 😂 That'd be me too with those showers! Although that solar hot water pack looked amazing!
We had wet wipes with us on hand while traveling for those types of situations when the showers weren't the greatest (i.e. in India or hostels).
Amazing video and amazing hike! In Colorado, we'd ski at 11,500 feet and one time I hiked a 14er (14,000 feet). The elevation really takes it out of you - good for you for running the last bit! Impressive!
Those showers?
Those were pretty cool showers!
And btw the sink and the flush isn't working because of the cold.
I hope you've seen the frozen water on the bed side, that's because of the freezing temp. out there
Thanks for taking me with you on this trip !!!! This will be our dinner table
“Talk” tonight !!! As most of your trips are !!! My kids like when you stay hours in the airport... they find that fascinating !!! All of us taking guess’s where country 100 will be ....
Love to hear that the who family is involved 😊 tell the kids we said hello 👋
This vlog totally reminded me of your Everest Base Camp series!!! Loved every second of those vlogs and this one too!
You guys are so incredible ❤️. The inspiration you give to your viewers is the best. I went to Japan and the Philippines earlier this year. Just got back from Korea and Laos a few weeks ago. The info you guys give in your videos have helped me tremendously. Thanks for all your hard work 😃.
Great to hear, Mel! 💗
So excited for your 100th country!
Bhutan is a very beautiful country😍
But now I'm gonna watch the vlog!
I'm so happy for you two! :DD
👏🏻🤗❤️
What I really like about them is that they are not afraid of trying and visiting the places/countries no matter how dangerous it might be. I salute you guys!
That is a good climb. Remembering your Base Camp Climb.
I had to pause the video to comment- The shots from the top of the highest peak in that lighting!! I am speachless!!
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE 100TH COUNTRY AAAHHHHHHHH
NEITHER CAN WEEEEE😍
Same I wonder what country it will be
You guys could totally make a compilation video of all the animals Kara has fallen in love with over this trip lol.
beautiful drone work as always and aren’t the locals lovely.
As a hiker in my country, this warmed my heart. Definitely putting Bhutan in my bucket list!
Kara and Nate, I hope you dont stop making videos! Yours is the only channel I eagerly look forward to and I cant imagine UA-cam without you guys in it after your 100th country. Love and light to you both!
So happy I can see a vlog❤️ i am proud of u guys!
Bhutan ... where silence talks thousand words , most peaceful and happiest place I ever been to ,, this vlog gave me real nostalgia but how I missed that camp site hike I don’t know , the tiger nest hike twice already .... I think the hike gives some real pulmonary exercises , first time I been all alone to tiger nest I reached at 8.30 am , starting at 6am , surprised the Bhutan police at the monastery door ... remember opening the door of monastery that morning it was so unreal an experience ... and those that dog my only companion ..2nd time 11 dogs accompanied me n my friend to the monastery .... such a beautiful vlog from u guys....
Love the end when Kara can't stop looking at the light 😂
While waiting for new Kara and Nate videos, I search for other travel vlogs. Haven't found one yet that even comes close to the amazing content that this channel provides. So, I end up rewatching all of the videos from the beginning. Thanks for being a bright light in this too often dark world. You have a ministry of positivity and fellowship and our lives greatly benefit from it.
Awww Misty!!!😭 Thank you so much. This means a lot ❤️
With lots of love from Bhutan❤️🇧🇹🕊️
Kara stops for every dog there is, it is hilarious and girl, same though. 😂❤
Joined UA-cam just because of your videos, what an amazing 4 years you guys have had. Your almost their. Love to travel myself just come back from Croatia and Bosnia, my 33/34 countries. Keep you your additive videos. Ps thanks for making my bucket list even bigger. 🌞✈️🏩🎥❤️
Can't wait for the 100th country! 🤩✈
Yaaaay!!!🌎👏🏻
Visited Bhutan in 2016. It's an amazing place full of amazing people. Hiked to Tigers Monastery also. It was a great experience.
Dropped everything to look at my fave youtube couple. You guys make me see the world as if i am with you guys. Thankyou for all your videos😊❤
The mornings are always beautiful, best part of the day!! Way to put in the work, the rewards are worth it!!!
That view is insanely gorgeous, nature can be awesome sometimes 😍
2:26 that cat & it's meowing was beautiful 🐱
I keep writing to tell you how each and every video gets better and better!!! It's hard to put into words, but...having watched you since day 1 I marvel at your journey. This is beautiful and you two are very special. Thanks for giving us the gift of your videos.
your vlogs with dogs >>
😁 🐶
I love that you guys always have bloopers. Your vlogs are always already so true and real, but the bloopers are just everyday life and fun to laugh along with.
UGH. Love you guys
I just love you both. You’re blogs are always so interesting and inspiring. You both have such great attitudes about life and you don’t take anything for granted. Please don’t stop vlogging after your 100th country. I can’t wait to see where life takes you.
Your photography skills have come along way. The drone footage is top shelf.
It's always worth the effort to get up early for a hike. Such an incredible place! Thanks for showing it to us!
Watching this currently in my third country (Denmark, Costa Rica and Germany)
You are so inspiring love watching your videos ❤
Was reviewing for a quiz tomorrow when this pops up, but guess who's watching 😎
You deserve a break 😁

Clicked so fast ❤️i can't believe yall have made it through all 100 countries! Can't wait to see what yall do next 💕💕 I loved this 98th adventure in Bhutan! So unique
🤗💜
I’ve loved your entire series from Bhutan. What a lovely country and lovely people. Clearly a very special experience to travel there.
If u don’t get an award for your hard efforts this year I’d be greatly surprised.
sad to see Bhutan being a mountainous country faces water scarcity . but by far the best adventure . immense love to bhutanese people
Wow that was an incredible journey and video!!! Thank you for sharing. I really love the amount of work you do in editing to make such professional film.
Thanks so much Millie! 💜 that means a lot to us!
So happy for a new video to watch . Thanks. I look forward to all of the new ones you post and finally caught up watching all the other videos. So good to be caught up. Love them all. You guys make the best videos. I am so looking forward to the Nashville party - I will be there. AND we are signed up for a Nashville Food Tour! You have inspired me.
Yay! Excited to see you there! 🤗💜
'i must say plenty of memories to think back on..in the years to come.. always enjoy..🎈
I’ve been waiting for this lol
Sorry to keep you waiting 😁😁
The happiness and the smiles are contagious... it makes me happy. I just hope you won't stop at 100... please don't.
what’s better than a vlog from you when i just woke up and i’m feeling sad?! 🥰❤️
Same 😁
That looks so peaceful! 😊 Perfect place to completely unplug from the internet and social media 👍 great video guys!
You’re so right!
@@KaraandNate 🤗
That should read. I love this couple. Thank you for bringing me with you. You are the best traveling couple. Please don't stop after 100. Keep going.... Or just repeat... I love you. Have you been to Maribor Slovenia? Maybe that should be 101.. Or Normandy Beach in Miami Florida? We live it here... Please keep going. So many places to go. So many people to meet. So many things to do.
You guys are so fun and upbeat ! I smashed the subscribe after my first video of y’all’s! Safe travels always! Oh and I’m a Nate too !!! Oh and my friend and I are going to Oslo end of April and me researching our trip is how I stumbled across you two ! Am a big fan already !!!
Anyone else wondering where they put their suitcases when doing this trip? lol also loved the video so happy for you guys about reaching 100 countries!
Valentina DiRubba bfr they reach two horse will be carrying luggage
I so enjoy your travels. I must say, I have a fear of heights and some of your videos make me a title uncomfortable from the comfort of my sofa! 😜 These past few vlogs have been so peaceful and I feel a lovely way to get to your 100th country.
I will miss them so much. They make you feel like we are their best friends. What a life you have both experienced. Everyday life will be very boring after this. LOL!! Every country so different but yet we all are the same inside. God bless you both.
We love youur vloogs, don´t quit!
I'm going to save watching this video until later tonight as a special treat. Really loving all the extraordinary fantastic Bhutan footage so far.
The stare down with the adorable animal at 12:39 had me both laughing and melting. The animal was curious, but also sooooooo cute 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
How wonderful to see Tigers Nest through your eyes. I know I couldn't do the trek, for the last three years I have had mobility problems. It's been great to see how joyful you both were. I would be just like Kara with all the dogs and cats. I guess flying the drone must have been great too. What a fabulous trip to Bhutan, I don't think I would want to leave xxx
That drone shot. Wow. Your videos have come a long way since the "early" days. Congrats on 1mil and counting!
WOW.... Its a nice experience.
3 Days ago we were there at tiger nest...
I wish you guys had published the vlog earlier so that I could have also tried staying at chele la and trek down from there to tiger nest..
BHUTAN IS COMPLETELY AWESOME
Dhew Sanja
I miss Bhutan so much and thank you kate and Nate taking me with you guys back home.💙🙏
What an amazing experience, such a good choice camping and then climbing down, very special!
A new video, yay! 😊 This just made my day!
I love you guys. I just started watching you guys and went back into you old vlogs in the Philippines. I’m Sorry to hear how disappointed you guys were there. I hope you guys give it another chance
Fantastic trip... loved every minute of it, even the bloopers. Kara you crack me up.. Hey from Australia 🇦🇺
Watching this makes me so happy and it would be sad if you stop on your 100 country.
Not a lot you can say apart from wow to this video, simply simply brilliant. I do wonder though after seeing and doing the things you've done I wonder how it's gonna shape you for whenever you get back into normal every day life, if you ever do lol. Great stuff you too, nobody does this kinda stuff better.
Thé drone shots are AMAZING in this video. Great job ❤️❤️❤️
Great channel, great video, great content! We love your videos and everything you guys upload. Keep it up! Thanks for being part of a global community of travelers and for keeping wanderlust alive! Live more...worry less!
I love how you two always have such a sunny outlook on everything. I get so cranky when I'm cold or bathrooms or gross haha.
i dont know man but i felt that your tour guide is so happy to be able to guide you throughout the journey. 😁
I love watching all your videos, and please please just don't stop making videos since you guys are so good at it!! Much love to you guys ❤️❤️❤️
💗💗💗
