Welcome back Gabriel, Its nice to watch your video exactly after a year of deadly earthquake on April 25th 2015 . Thank your for promoting tourism in Nepal.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic and mocking the dude for promoting travel to a dangerous place... OR actually thanking him for helping tourist to trust travelling to Napal again....
Your videos have kept me sane during this spell of isolation. I am 76 and have travelled to all the countries you have been to except the east European ones which I might do after the lockdown is over. Please dwell on the markets more if possible. I particularly love markets and indigenous people. Thanks
Hey man. I’m in Pokhara now and you did such a great job capturing it even with equipment and editing from 7 years ago. On my way to Everest base camp next week and I owe this great experience to your videos for giving me the confidence to do this. 🤙🏼 you’re the best gabe.
Yeah I totally want to head back to Nepal and do the Everest trek and also Mustang. I wonder when that will happen next. Not this fall I don't think, so maybe next year.
very helpful video. I am going to Pokhara next week from India. It's going to be my first solo travel . Your video gave me a lot confidence. Thanks a lot!
Good thing you didn't order any of the curries at Marwadi- I was there and ordered paneer pasanda which normally has a very distinctive cashew gravy, one of my favorite dishes. When it came it was bland and more like second rate shahi paneer. When I complained the waiter actually said they use the same gravy for many different dishes. I love your videos, can't wait to go back to Nepal and I was just there 3 months ago.
Hey man I absolutely love your videos and you really have inspired me to travel and to basically explore the world. My goal is to visit the Himalayas and to also visit mongolia, russia, and the central asian countries. Your videos are absolutely amazing, although I must admit I am nervous of traveling by myself. Also what are some cheap traveling advice as I really don't have enough money hahaha. But anyway greetings from Australia.
hey there, sounds like a great plan, I'd love to see Mongolia and Russia myself. Here's another video of mine with some more ideas for traveling cheap: ua-cam.com/video/Hc_B6yWrTKk/v-deo.html
Hey Gabriel nice video .. I my self hoping to go on a budget trip to nepal & trekking himalaya's late in this year . Could you recommend what are best time of the year to do so , where the sceneries are awesome and safe to trek?
Thanks. If you plan to trek later this year then I would plan for September-November. I guess monsoons are coming soon and that won't be a good time for trekking.
Pokhara meteo is sun all week with high 34 celcius and low 16. Perfect weather to sleep at night and to go to the beach at day time but the beach is far far away....
Do you ever get sick eating in these restaurants? I imagine they attract a lot of reaches? How do you fin a restaurant? just walking past? recommendations? do you ever check tripadvisor for reviews first?
I've managed to avoid getting sick fortunately. But it's always a risk when traveling, you just never know. I've talked with plenty of other travelers who have gotten food poisoning while traveling at one point or another. As for finding restaurants, yeah mostly just walking past and taking a look. Sometimes I have a guidebook and will go to a place based on reading about it. I don't tend to get reviews of restaurants online, I use that more for hotels. But also recommendations from other travelers who might mention a good place to eat.
Nice video! Reminds me of my happiest travel memories of cycling around the villages around Siem Reap and meeting the wonderful locals :) The trekking shops are really useful hey. Is it quiet season there right now? Hope your buddy arrives safe and well!
I guess it's kind of the end of high season, so it's not peak season but still travelers are around. But apparently because of the earthquake a year ago it's still affecting tourism in Nepal and so the high season wasn't as busy as it would have been otherwise.
+Gabriel Traveler Thats interesting. I'd love to visit anytime of year :) Considering it as my next stop after Australia and then into India. Thanks for sharing..finding your videos really helpful. Stay safe up there!
Nice one Gabe. would you please make an informative video like this while you are buying trekking gear.. Also why didn't you purchase the trekking gear from Thamel. is it cheaper in Phokhara?
I'm not sure whether it's cheaper in Kathmandu or Pokhara. I already bought most of my gear here in Pokhara, I didn't need to get a lot of stuff. But I'll make a video showing what gear I'm bringing and also other tips for trekking, hopefully before I take off, maybe tomorrow.
I'm really not sure about that and am curious to find out the situation. I've been told that there is wi-fi at places along the trekking route, but that it's slow and probably won't work for uploading videos. So there might be a break from the videos for a while. Maybe I can at least record a couple of short clips, in crappy quality so that the files are smaller and then at least post some updates along the way.
Well.. you can spend a day cheaper than 24$ .. usually the tourist areas are lot expensive.. Also the people tend to ask for higher price when they see tourists.. So you need to be a bit clever too.. Its better to ask locals about prices or little help to find stuffs.. Anyways.. I love your videos.. Keep it up :)
we spent something like 7 dollars a day in Pokhara! You're right...you need to find the right places, then ask alway for the price and know in advance which are the average prices in order to avoid mockery
I often have tea in the mornings, but herbal tea of some kind, I don't drink caffeine at all. The tea I had with breakfast in this video was tulsi which is a natural herb from India.
If you're travelling places like India and Nepal it's very easy because most of the population is vegetarian, the only animal products they have are dairy. Which can also easily be avoided.
+Gabriel Marengo Yeah, India and Nepal would be probably the easiest countries to travel in as a vegan. Elsewhere it would definitely be tougher. Not impossible, I've met plenty of vegan travelers, Louis Cole recently turned vegan and he's travel vlogging non-stop like me. Certain places have vegan restaurants like Chiang Mai, Thailand, Ubud in Bali, Indonesia and Cusco, Peru. But outside of tourist zones you will find some vegetarian dishes on menus in a lot of places, not necessarily vegan, but you might figure out how to communicate it to them (i.e. have someone write a message on a note in the local language). If nothing else then you can always go to local markets and buy fresh veggies and fruits. It would certainly present a challenge while traveling but one that could be figured out.
Thanks for the encouragement and for responding to my comment. I would love to see Nepal someday. Nepal looks beautiful and I only personally know one person who has gone there. But I don't know them well and only knew about their trip through Facebook. Maybe I will contact him and find out more about his trip.
I was just wondering because I just signed up for some credit cards for travel hacking purposes that have no foreign transaction fees I thought it just might be safer
amafid That could be a good idea, especially if you get air miles or something. However a lot of places in Asia and other less developed parts of the world, then they don't accept credit cards much, especially the budget hotels and restaurants, etc. But it will work for some purchases certainly.
Hey Gabe nice vid mate keep up the good work! You might know this already but the actual abode of Lord Shiva and family according to the Vedic scriptures is mount Kailash...you might want to go trekking there some day if you haven't already done it :)
Best place and best people are there so. If u like to visit nepal hurry make ur plan and I would like to tell u one thig there is u can travel low cost
It will make it a lot more difficult if you don't speak any English. Many Nepali people speak English, but almost no one will speak Spanish, Portuguese or French. You can still go there, I don't really no what it will be like though.
You would see only Kathmandu as full of crowds, rest of the cities are really peaceful and safe to visit. Do not compare with India, Nepal total population is lesser than Indian beggars, it's only 20.9 million where India has 25 million only beggars around whole country. 🙏
Thats not super cheap, for 24$ a day you could eat here in Romania stakes and meat all day. I tought Nepal is way much cheaper than the country i live.
Well tourist targeted places are really expensive compared to where normal Nepali people go. 24$ is like a fooding cost of a normal Nepali home for a couple of week.
Most travellers spend money on alcohol which i see u avoid..alcohol increases the expense astronomically so the key to budget travel is to avoid alcohol...recently i was a watching a vlog of bald and bankrupt where it was all about cheap alcohol and desi daru..kinda funny and entertaining vlog but yours is more informative and low key..your camera was shaking a lot in this video
+Super Man I disagree with you Mo:Mo is our typical Nepali food.yes it is similar to chinese dumplings but it has totally different ingredients and tastes.
+Super Man I actually checked on this one and according to Wikipedia they are from the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. For whatever that's worth. Probably they're from a lot of different places, they're pretty much the same as pot stickers, kind of a basic concept.
Glad you're feeling better bro,not good to be ill in those parts-I caught a nice dose of giardia in Varanasi (coulda been Rishikesh but Varanasi's an educated guess !! ) That was rough....antibiotics & Ayurveda sorted it-treatment for body & soul kinda thing. Get lots of coconut water & green tea in you before you go mountain stomping eh.,And honeys good too,almost magick in its healing properties. Hopefully you've kicked it now & your immune systems had a good workout!
I'll try to do a video soon explaining. Basically I have the camera hanging by the strap around my neck so people don't think I'm filming, it looks like I just have a camera because I'm a tourist.
+Gabriel Traveler I also assume people in India and Nepal don't really give a shit about being filmed as much as Westerners do? Last time I was in India, I was filming everything and no one seemed to care.
The4thWall Yeah I'd love to do some sort of live Google hangout kind of thing sometime, but my crappy laptop here has a broken webcam, plus the time differences, etc. Maybe when I get back to the U.S. and get a new computer or use someone else's.
No, cows are revered because Vishnu reincarnated as a human cow herder called Krishna. Cow is supposed to be his mount. I think that's the reason but I am not 100% sure. So female cows are sacred but male cows or bulls are not. Basically, you can kill the males but not the females. And you are not supposed to kill the female one because killing one is supposed to be equivalent of killing a "brahmin" human which is pretty bad for your karma. :)
Hoping to get to Greece but I really have no idea yet. After I get back from the trek I'll have to do a bit of thinking, look at the bank account, etc. and figure it out. I'd love to spend part of the summer exploring Europe if I can make it happen.
Is it the inflation that's really hitting nepal now? Price seems to be too expensive for almost all the goods and services..I remember the time when we used to get full plate momo with soup, just for RS 20.

I am from Nepal and am glad that you visited here !

Excellent, glad to hear it. EBC, lucky you, it's high on my list to do sometime soon. Have an epic trek.
As I plan my next trip I keep getting drawn to your videos of Nepal and think that this is just the adventure and experience I'm looking for.
Nepal is epic, you can't go wrong there.
COW is like a boss.
Yeah they own the roads. :)
hahaha
i think you hadn't visited some other parts of pokhara....there's a cow's territory......sometimes they create traffic problem.....
A traffic policia😀
Watching some old stuff... pretty inspiring to see you film when you're sick. I miss Nepal.
Yeah I totally want to head back to Nepal and do the Everest trek and also Mustang. I wonder when that will happen next. Not this fall I don't think, so maybe next year.
I was in Iceland last week, comparing the prices in those two countries is surreal..
Haha, yeah really.
Yeahhhh, I was in Feb 2018, Iceland is really crazy!!! :)

Yep, although there is a lake, I haven't swam in it yet though. It does look refreshing.
its too much cheaper compare to others, but may b expensive service in terms of humble care and love. thats the indentity of Nepal

I'm vegan and was wondering how easy it is to get vegan food when travelling thanks

Most of the restaurants has vegetarian dishes and U can also have vegetarian momos from the street and its cheap and very filling. Good luck.
thanks
Pokara looks a lot better to me than Katmandu. Thanks for posting videos of both of them.
he only showcased thamel of kathmandu, pokhara is regarded more beautiful than kathmandu but kathmandu is still worth it
and you should visit nepal dude its a great place to visit
Thanks for the encouragement and for responding to my comment. I would love to see Nepal someday. Nepal looks beautiful and I only personally know one person who has gone there. But I don't know them well and only knew about their trip through Facebook. Maybe I will contact him and find out more about his trip.
actually my friend i am nepalese and live in kathmandu there are a lot of places like ktm durbar square , patan, durbarmarg and other places
and nepal is a cheap place to travel
Thank you for visting our country😊
Great info on expenses and in general.
Don't you get sick from eating all the food and drinking all the water from different countries?
I think first couple of days is crucial. U might need to be careful not to drink water other than bottled/distilled.
Your videos rock! I saw you once in Chiang Mai in a market restaurant.
Cool, thanks. Yeah I was in Chiang Mai back in February of this year.
you can't go devi falls it a important visit Pokhara
Love your videos!
Do you ever use a credit card or do you always pay with local currency?
I almost never use a credit card, I just withdraw the local currency from an ATM and pay with cash.
I was just wondering because I just signed up for some credit cards for travel hacking purposes that have no foreign transaction fees I thought it just might be safer
amafid
That could be a good idea, especially if you get air miles or something. However a lot of places in Asia and other less developed parts of the world, then they don't accept credit cards much, especially the budget hotels and restaurants, etc. But it will work for some purchases certainly.
What is going to be the next country that you will visit for the 1st time?
I'm really not sure yet but maybe Spain/Portugal. No idea yet of my plans after Nepal.
Go to bhatbhateni store for raisins and everything
You got the same tee as mine. Cheers
Why don't you travel to Mustang
Its about yr comment...and im googling MUSTANG...thanks
FANTASTIC sir
Hey Gabe nice vid mate keep up the good work! You might know this already but the actual abode of Lord Shiva and family according to the Vedic scriptures is mount Kailash...you might want to go trekking there some day if you haven't already done it :)
Yes, I actually talked to someone recently who circumnavigated Mount Kailash and he showed me some photos, it looks absolutely spectacular.
Best place and best people are there so. If u like to visit nepal hurry make ur plan and I would like to tell u one thig there is u can travel low cost

If any vaccinations are needed before going to Nepal?
I'm not certain of the latest requirements, but I don't think so. Just search online for Nepal travel restrictions and you'll find updated info.

I would like to ask if you get vaccinated before your travels?
No, those kinds of vaccinations aren't required for Nepal.

Is possible to go to nepal speaking very bad english? I'am brazilian and speak only portuguese, spanish and a little bit of french....
It will make it a lot more difficult if you don't speak any English. Many Nepali people speak English, but almost no one will speak Spanish, Portuguese or French. You can still go there, I don't really no what it will be like though.

How often do you file a tax return?
Once a year, I did taxes right before I left on this trip.
like a boss ..good polite reply ..cheers bro,
Thankyou sir iam indian
Cool
Glad you're feeling better bro,not good to be ill in those parts-I caught a nice dose of giardia in Varanasi (coulda been Rishikesh but Varanasi's an educated guess !! ) That was rough....antibiotics & Ayurveda sorted it-treatment for body & soul kinda thing. Get lots of coconut water & green tea in you before you go mountain stomping eh.,And honeys good too,almost magick in its healing properties. Hopefully you've kicked it now & your immune systems had a good workout!
Gettin' better slowly but surely! The tail end of things, I think I'll be ready for the trek in a couple days, just in time.
How do you get away with filming in so many shops and restaurants? Do the people working there ever ask you not to?
I'll try to do a video soon explaining. Basically I have the camera hanging by the strap around my neck so people don't think I'm filming, it looks like I just have a camera because I'm a tourist.
Great tactic haha, I look forward to seeing your video on it
+Gabriel Traveler I also want to see a video on this. You should do a live q&a or maybe even talk about how Internet access is in all these places
+Gabriel Traveler I also assume people in India and Nepal don't really give a shit about being filmed as much as Westerners do? Last time I was in India, I was filming everything and no one seemed to care.

Is it the inflation that's really hitting nepal now? Price seems to be too expensive for almost all the goods and services..I remember the time when we used to get full plate momo with soup, just for RS 20.
nice
"Only $10.00!" . . . which is my monthly budget for staying in Nepal.
You are beautiful sir , love your efforts sir 😊
You over payed for everything ... they got you, man. :)
If I did it wasn't for very much. I'm not worried about every rupee.
They likely need the money more than us Americans anyway
