Greetings all! I had a mental video from Thailand but it got flagged so couldn’t post it, Bangkok was wild as you can imagine. Will try get it out soon but I’ll stick out the Nepal videos for now!
Did UA-cam flag your Thailand video. What do you think the reason was? Rumble gives more ad revenue for videos only on their site, perfect place for more sensitive content.
Harald baldr and bald and bankrupt have been slowing down which has given me time to experience new channels like Kurt caz and backpacker Ben Good job, Ben. Keep the vids coming and I want to point out that I’ve seen improvement in how your videos come out
I’m currently going back and watching all of Ben’s videos….if you get a chance my favorite on this channel is Vietnam with Timmy K and Bald. So many to like on here! Also, the ones with Kat are a favorite too!
Kurt copied Harold to a tee, especially in his start. "Am I filming" was literally word for word copying. I lost respect right off the bat. Men love him though. I guess they need someone to look up to, which is sad since it's a fake personality on their screen . Is this just American men who put these characters on a pedestal?
Welcome to Nepal Ben 💐 Unfortunately You caught a wrong bus there mate . There are nice buses with ac which run to Pokhara . Hope rest of your stay in Nepal is pleasant .
I wish I had your life Ben. Wish life for our family wasn't so hard. And you have showed me people living is such harder times. And now, I feel lucky. As hard as life seems to me... It is much harder for so many others.
Been there, done that journey, probably 20 times or more. First time was in 1982 and most recently just 2 months ago. I quickly learned never take a local bus from Kathmandu to Pokhara - it may be cheap but avoid it unless you're a masochist. The regular tourist bus is great - again it may take 9 hours but I still really enjoy it. 🙂
An exhausted Ben goes from, "How much is everyone else paying?" Then immediately giving up trying to figure it out. I think we all felt how exhausted you were. 🤣
@Backpacker Ben What if that was a scam between the bus driver and the guy driving the car? Pretend the bus breaks down and then he has his friend show up with an empty car to take yu the rest of the way? 🤣🤣🤣
Love these alt-travel vids - the `godfathers` Harald and Benjamin - now the new guard of Kurt Caz and Ben the Backpacker. Can't knock it - especially Ben's sexy west country voice he's dead fit with a rugged yet cosy persona. Yeh I know he's straight!
Nepal Series finally, thank you Ben for finally coming to Nepal. Now we just need Mr. Bald to join you or Harald for a trip to Nepal in the near future 🤗
🌴🌴🌴 I truly think that these kind of videos should be shown in the school systems here in the U.S.A. 🇺🇸 We grow up with blinders on and don’t see what’s going on around the world 🌎. Thank you Ben. Blessings,Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸
Brother don't miss visiting Bhaktapur and patan when you come back to kathmandu. Bhaktapur is 13 km east from Kathmandu and patan is 5-6 km south from kathmandu. Bhaktapur is a bit peaceful than kathmandu and patan.
Man, nuff respect for your hustle. I don't know whether you're brave to take on those mountain goat tracks know as roads or you're just damn crazy. Bless up. Watching from the land downunder Sydney NSW
Mr Ben, Please inspect the bus first, decide whether you wish to travel in that bus or in a better bus, select the seat and then purchase the ticket. Google shows fantastic air condition buses between Kathmandu and Pokhara. This bus journey was perhaps worse than your Amazon river boat rides in in South America. Happy that after such a ride you are in a good hotel serving nice meal
Wow. I literally finished binge watching your India videos. 10 seconds ago. I pressed back to main UA-cam menu and my subscription told me you posted Nepal 15 minutes ago. Fate? Thank you.
Your videos are something else. Almost every video is "i am going to pay for something I know that is going to be horrible. And just complain the entire time like I didn't know what I was getting myself into..." gotta change from Backpacker Ben to Bitchin' with Ben!😂😂😂
I've driven from India to Nepal and oh god those roads that you experienced, I can't blame you for being exhausted. I was exhausted in my own car travelling from Pokhara to Kathmandu. Those were the worst roads I've ever witnessed. Period.
When travelling around Nepal in the 90's I was told to never get on a bus driven by a young guy with sunglasses, bandanna and chewing gum. Instead look for older drivers who were more likely to get you to your destination in one piece😊. PS Excellent content, yet again
@@kapilpantha1997 there aren't proper roads between most state capitals and national capital, there hasn't been much development let's be honest. Maybe where you live there has been, but not in general
I went to Nepal in 1988 and took the bus for eight hours then camped on a hillside befor3e treking for 10 days on a small group trip. LOL it looks like they never stopped working on the road. We saw where a bus went over the side and a thousand or so feet down into a revine on the way. I guess some things never change!
bless you man did this journey twice in 2010 and 2015 mental road was in a coach not a great one but you should be proud to have survived in a small vehicle you are the hardcore lol :)
Yes, the things these youtubers do for putting a show on youtube. There are luxurious buses with Ac, nice folding seats , alot more leg space providing services from Kathmandu to Pokhara with lil bit more money of about Rs 1500. But he chose the worst vehicle pissible.🤷 Thanks for showing that Nepal has worst transportation services.
I can feel it mate boiling inside the van and if you open the window it's all dust .. but I'm telling you mate exploring stunning Pokhara make you worth it 👍🏼 Have a good one
I find myself dragged from the depths of despair, overcoming the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, singing in the rain - how come, just comparing my lot with Ben’ experience.
Hahaha sorry I’m laughing but your hell is always my pleasure with your adventures 😂😂😂 great video AGAIN! Can’t wait to see more. Great job as always Ben 😁
Holy s**t, what a horrendous bus trip! I am glad Kat was not with you on a bus full of sweaty locals (although she probably would have handled it with good grace). Also, stop swiping, you've got a good one 🤪
Better take tourist Bus which starts from Sorhakhutte Chowk... Both Sofa and Normal seats available. Fare::1500Nepali Rs And my Friend Road to Pokhara is Awful no doubt. I don't knwo when Nepal Govt.is going to make it Smooth.for Smooth Ride.😮😮😮😮😮
Pokhara is really really beautiful place. It is my favourite. People their are so sweet, kind and helpful. Nepal road conditions worst in the world. I live in Kathmandu so, I rarely traveI, I get sick whenever I travel. It's hard even for some us Nepali. Nepal is still safe country, their are alot of things u can do in pokhara. Literally the best. For place suggestion visit gandruk, chitlang, (mustang if possible it's like heaven).. Road conditions are worst so, better travel by plane
After my Mongolia comments… I was like you 20 years ago (backpacking in India and Nepal). Tip for smelly toilets: put some Vicks Vaporub below your nose when you travel by bus, so you inhale that instead of the stink.
The best videos are Ben suffering and moaning. Your audience 100% enjoys it and you are good at it.
British love a moan
@@BackpackerBen Pretty sure you Brits invented it, it was then spread across the world, now we all love a good moan.
We moan about people moaning.
@@KretinzUnited 😆 moaners are the worst
Best videos when he suffers lol😂

Love your videos, man! Just started watching them after discovering you through bald and bankrupt. Love the British cynicism as well. Keep it up 👍👍👍
I did that journey on a big bus in 1991, there was a landslide on the way and the road got blocked for hours while they dug it out
I have about 8 videos to watch now of you! Gonna binge watch them this weekend! Keep them coming 🎉
Good man!!
@@BackpackerBen still waiting for your UK tour, I’d be all over that!!! If you do a weekend in the uk or Scotland would love to jump on that

Ouch that's a proper nightmare of a ride, mate. You're a true highlander 😂
Wonderful video as always brother. Cheers and travel well!

I was done 💀

Hahahah imagine
As a shy traveller it's great to see you grow in confidence as a traveller.
Went there in 1992. Standard of accommodation has improved a great deal. Roads look better than I recall them. You had it easy mate !
I love Ben’s travels, the whinging is 24/7. Remember the train in Tanzania, was hilarious!
The classic

Hi from a subscriber from Nepal
Hope you have a good time here.
Brother don't miss visiting Bhaktapur and patan when you come back to kathmandu. Bhaktapur is 13 km east from Kathmandu and patan is 5-6 km south from kathmandu. Bhaktapur is a bit peaceful than kathmandu and patan.
Bhaktapur is considered a living museum. Love the vibe. Love the local newah culture. Reminds me of my childhood.
3:26 For some reason the lady thought slapping the bag of crisps was the right thing to do.
Yeah for little crumbles we all like in crisp bag 😅
It's to remove the dust on the packet 😅😂. Sadly shops besides roads and highways are really dusty in Nepal.
@@ZenaJoshi Thanks for your answer. I guess feather dusters are a thing of the West.
Crisps had more dust than flavour. Needed a slap 👋
Man, nuff respect for your hustle.
I don't know whether you're brave to take on those mountain goat tracks know as roads or you're just damn crazy.
Bless up.
Watching from the land downunder Sydney NSW
When I saw the small bus I thought this isn't gonna end well sweating 😳 nightmare journey glad you got good accommodation..love you Ben 💙
could get a better bus with ac and everything but I guess people like being cheapskates
The lack of leg room would be the worst for a 7 hour trip, brutal…

Welcome to Nepal Ben! Kathmandu to Pokhara road is under construction. It'll be much better within a year or two. Enjoy your stay in Nepal!
they were saying that when I was there 7 years ago
@@anonmon6236 Come visit after 2 years and you'll know.
the decor in that cab is very hip dude.........😱😱😵😵👏👏😁😁👍👍
Finally some video worth watching. Everyday life in Nepal.
I am from Pokhara and i feel suffocated travelling in this small bus(Hiace)....i prefer using big bus(Deluxe or best one is Jagadumba).
wow ben is finally in nepal..i used to follow your all videos...is benjamin is also with you?
Your videos are something else. Almost every video is "i am going to pay for something I know that is going to be horrible. And just complain the entire time like I didn't know what I was getting myself into..." gotta change from Backpacker Ben to Bitchin' with Ben!😂😂😂
Just 6 videos shot in Mongolia? Not enough mate.
Loving all your videos Ben!
Oh wow! never expected to see you in Nepal. Welcome to nepal 🇳🇵♥️🙏.
I truly salute you! Went from Pokhara to Chitwan was enough for me.
Glad bald has introduced me to your videos
Another eye opening amazing video. Those roads ... yikes lol.

Which was worse, this bus ride or the train in Tanzania?
Tanzania train no questions
Should have brought Benjamin too alongside you. Big fan of him.
4:35
Are you not with Kat anymore .
Should have travelled in delux bus for comfier experience, ben 😂
Hey Ben good to see you in Nepal . Is Bald also with you in this adventure? Love to see u guys going places together.
bless you man did this journey twice in 2010 and 2015 mental road was in a coach not a great one but you should be proud to have survived in a small vehicle you are the hardcore lol :)
The things you do for UA-cam, Ben. What a gruelling journey you put yourself through. Not sure I’d have the balls
Those are the kind of journey I love to go on. So many beautiful things to see on the way. Especially if you are driving by yourself.
Yes, the things these youtubers do for putting a show on youtube.

Great Content Bro, that carzie looked minging, I had the same prob in Saudi and that was the airport :O greats hotel choice mate : @ )
hilarious!! great video.. everything i wanted to see
Note that: Pokhara KTM highway is almost in reconstruction , better you travel in AC bus or Airlines..
I can feel it mate boiling inside the van and if you open the window it's all dust .. but I'm telling you mate exploring stunning Pokhara make you worth it 👍🏼 Have a good one
Omg THANKS BEN FOR VISITING NEPAL, HOPE YOU WILL GET BEST hospitality IN NEPAL🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵.
Heartly Welcome sir 🇳🇵
Ben that was a savage journey mate 🤣
I find myself dragged from the depths of despair, overcoming the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, singing in the rain - how come, just comparing my lot with Ben’ experience.
When was this ? Interesting bus trip 😊 Reminds me of a bus ride in Papua New Guinea a long time ago !
Literally 2 days ago lol
K-K-K-K-K-K-Katmandu
I think that's really where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
I'm going to Katmandu!
Ben swiping through tinder for Nepali babes in a bus cramped with boys was something 😅😂😂😂..
Yah that was pretty funny lol, don't let Kat see that!
Globetrotting Ben does it again!
Mostly road r under construction...sorry for difficulties
Hahaha sorry I’m laughing but your hell is always my pleasure with your adventures 😂😂😂 great video AGAIN! Can’t wait to see more. Great job as always Ben 😁
Ohhhh a new video….hoorayyyyy!
My first Google result was a nice luxury bus with AC haha 😄
That literally looked like hell crammed in a hot box.
Exactly that
Ben this is sadly the truth but it is getting better maybe in a few years the journey could get better bit by bit
watching you in the bus already made me extremely tired
Holy s**t, what a horrendous bus trip! I am glad Kat was not with you on a bus full of sweaty locals (although she probably would have handled it with good grace). Also, stop swiping, you've got a good one 🤪
I took this exact bus ride a few years ago. He ain’t exaggerating about that stench
Thanks for agreeing 😆
I can sort of understand the appeal of your channel. Every episode is like "Mr. Bean Goes to Hell, Complains a Lot and Pukes".
THANKYOU BEN
There was no Winnetu in Kathmandu?
Stay Safe 👍Ben.
Better take tourist Bus which starts from Sorhakhutte Chowk...
Both Sofa and Normal seats available.
Fare::1500Nepali Rs
And my Friend Road to Pokhara is Awful no doubt.
I don't knwo when Nepal Govt.is going to make it Smooth.for Smooth Ride.😮😮😮😮😮
Holy frack...I think I would have had a panic attack in that bus! A very hot enclosed area...not good.
How old is your Camera 6 years ?
Two men watch from the same bar
One sees the mud other the star ....😊
Finally getting that content of Ben on the toilet I hope.😅
You can take a tourist bus it's quite comfortable. I mean, it's a ten hour ride.
Pokhara is really really beautiful place. It is my favourite. People their are so sweet, kind and helpful.

Should have booked for big bus which obviously has a bit big leg room compared to this micro bus 😂😂
Well ! Welcome to Nepal 😅😅 Quite a hectic video 😂😂
It's always interesting to travel with Ben 😊
Welcome Nepal bro 😍
Ben, I had 12 years of this is Asia… takes all the fun out of traveling eh

Only barely 5 min in on my first watch and I can definitely say rule number one wherever you are in the world is to not act quite like that
come off it
You’re talking bollocks. I assume you’ve only got the bus to work.
should have traveld by air it only takes 15 mins to reach from kathmandu to pokhara or atleast taken a tourist AC bus
By far your most funniest video 😂😂
pakora is a deep fried dish pokhara is a beautiful place
The more miserable Ben is.. the more entertaining the video! Lol!
🫠💀💀💀
lol😂😂😂😂
