this is what to do on a rainy day in Pokhara.
Hey you guys! Thanks for joining us on another journey today we're in Pokhara. If you're new to the channel--the
mosquito's coming for me--that's April and I'm Wayne. Sit back, relax and enjoy the journey! get
some views of what's really here these are the boats you can normally take yeah we have
a three lakes one of the Phewa and then two from Kathmandu Highway and this this lake is the bigger
lake in the city what do ya think soggy got a little chilly lakeside I have the goosebumps now well we came
we saw it's soggy we're gonna call it a day we're out here at the cave in Pokhara this is where they
found one of the kings crazy rainy day but what are you gonna do then we have one full day here
so we're gonna try to make the best of it it was raining yesterday we're hoping it was going
to clear up today but it hasn't so the cave is relatively new we're going to go explore when all
... the king found the cave and that's why it's called Mahendra Cave how long ago
45 years ago last time we were in a cave I was freaking out in Guatemala at Semuc Champey but
I did it I pushed through how you feeling Wayne he's kind of freaking out about all this huh yeah
I'm trying to keep my cameras dry this is taking uh Go Travel On The Cheap's filming to new levels
I don't think we've ever encountered this much rain Croatia Plitvice you can hardly watch
that video but we'll put a card above and then we see the many kind of like a stone obviously
like a god of the designing face and then we see the many people make to this stupa with a stone
because in Nepal the people with [...] about life and they will finally having the
stone house everywhere in Nepal oh okay they do that in America too uh the Native American Indians
we used to make stone houses in Arizona we were expecting it not to be raining in the cave
you good or you need help here let me get in front of you
just be patient that's my name-Mr. Patient-no-they don't really have too many stalactites or stalagmites
in this case it's a relatively new cave oh that's cool I think the coolest one
was the Mayan cave that we went into the Cenotes he was playing the stalactites and
stalagmites as an instrument the women would come here and pray to the God for
fertility so they can have babies it cost 150 Rupees to come into the cave which is
god of the Ganesh is we've got all kinds of little offerings it looks like this is the elephant
face right there and then this is the actual statue of the elephant then next we have all
what do you want it to be here some people they would like to [...]
from the Ganesh they will take some brown what they have small material and they're doing the
rope and they can take out from the water from here then after whatever they drop you take on
Ganesh you can come down here and get blessed by a Hindi monk we stayed at Hotel Shaara in Pakhora
which was about $57 a night we're here in Pokhara if we're saying it right in Nepal
this is our hotel for the evening so we're here at Devi's Falls all right we're inside
I'm expecting to see an amazing waterfall because it has been raining cats and dogs
for a couple days now so the waterfall should be flowing well the mountains are typically
covered over with uh clouds and stuff so you can't see them so they just made a replica
Annapurna two Annapurna three Crystal Mountain [...] and Annapurna South if very good weather from the mountain so
you can see the same like that view from the [...] in the afternoon on July 31st 1961 Mrs.
Davis from Switzerland was swept away while taking a bath with her husband a few meters
ahead of the falls and she died her dead body had been taken out with a lot of efforts and
since then it's been called Devis fall we have problem here the they're writing like a two name
one is on the gate sign d-e-v-i-s Devi and they're writing a d-a-v-i-d that's a problem
something obviously happened in the translation because they have two different names here we
think it's Devis is probably the real one from Switzerland okay if if we will go to the
inside the cave if there is no any water to we can originally inside the cave kind of a temple like a
so then next again we can see the many lighting stone when we reaching the cave inside
and then and then next we see the waterfall place so what are they fall from here then
after when we reach all the way in the cave inside so we can see that this part of the
place to waterfall is inside the cave it's nice [...] this is closed though right yeah
I know when Switzerland lady she drop the hill and they found the body this part of the place
it cost 100 Nepali Rupees to get into Devi's Falls they become on a rainy day
it's blowing you wouldn't even know there's a cave down there the forest engulfed the cave it costs
150 rupees a person to get into the Bat Cave slowly okay okay so please now slowly okay
ow mind your head sir yeah I got it thank you
so what we have is a bunch of bats hanging out on the ceiling I don't know if you guys can see that
or not we did our best trying to see the bats we could see them but I don't think you guys could
see it it's kind of neat seeing the bats in the cave like that wish they would have taken off that
would have been even cooler definitely a slick walk in there what'd you think about it April it was okay some bats in a cave
Bishnu god people want to try to wish and try to [...] they can throw the coin if when they
put inside the pillar they be the lucky I know when coin go inside the pond you don't have luck
I don't need to have any bad luck I'm not doing that I got enough bad luck you're wishing well
it's different if you got good luck or bad luck if you make it in the right spot that's no good
for our next soggy adventure we're going to the Tibetan Refugee Camp 1963 China came into Tibet
and kicked everybody out everybody ran to India and to Nepal and Bhutan and so now we're here at
the refugee camp in Pokhara Dalai Lama went over to India a lot of people went to the refugee camps
in Nepal the people at Tibet are very religious Buddhist they even have a monastery there
in their Tibetan refugee camp this is Dalai Lama one day they were starting pretty early morning
six the next like one o'clock and then next there will be like 6:30 I keep thinking of that
movie Seven Years in Tibet with Brad Pitt you haven't seen it you should watch it it's a good
movie I was glad that we watched it before we came here so 1963 the uh this time they have a
wall of the ground this they will make the tent or they will live with the tent and after 1964
they will make this small house with a bamboo house 1965 or 1966 so most of the people from
volunteer from France from Russia everywhere to they will come to Nepal and they will be
teaching for him like English 1967 1968 the most of the people they will come be traveling in the
Pokhara if you would like to see the how was the Tibetan the people who was living in the typical
refugee camp and then they will come to here they would like to be helping for the money for him
okay that's a little bit of interesting facts so we were looking at the young kids that are
monks their families give them to the monastery to become a monk and they are a monk for their
entire life second kid second kid so all you second kids out there you could have been a monk
like my son Ethan yeah I don't think Ethan would have done well maybe he would have maybe so they still live here as refugees
most of them just never left no he cannot leave from Nepal because for him like a free life in Nepal a better life
but I mean they have to stay in the refugee camp they can't go get a house out in the village some do but
most of them prefer to stay here yep when some people want to traveling like a city or village
they can do it for him he's okay they can make it when they go back to Tibet they can use to
the Chinese rules they live in Nepal for him like free life that's most of the typical people they
can live in Nepal so the Nepali government built this for them yeah they want to give the land
free land for him we just left the museum for the uh Dalai Lama and the Tibetan people from
it's very interesting you learn a lot if you get time please come and check it out they
have a museum there it's worth a shot we didn't put it in the video because unfortunately museums
don't translate well in YouTube videos you need to see and learn for yourself we're on our way
to the Peace Pagoda we're going up 1,100 meters we're up the mountain and if we look out here you
can see that we're above the clouds obviously it's a rainy day so clouds are lower wow look
at that view that's breathtaking isn't it oh yeah you don't have any breath left I don't
we're at such a high altitude April can hardly breathe you can't either I'm pretending like I
can breathe that is beautiful though wow look at that it's not supposed to be the rainy season this
has never happened in the last 20 years this is the entrance to the Japanese Pagoda the difference
is Japan actually made this Pagoda back in 2010 it's a relatively new one we're going up to the
top look we're at the top of the mountain you can't even hardly see the actual little Pagoda
when you're at the top you're not allowed to video no TikToks no video no photo well you can
photograph but no no video no doing so no drones no drones everybody's got all these rules but it's
pretty cool and it's way up here we're at April's favorite thing a suspension bridge in
the rain that makes it better oh wow this thing's huge I was expecting wood though we can see the
river we will be wind in the bridge is there a river name Kali Gandaki because the water is black
our guide was telling us that this is to connect the town to the little village in the mountains
before this bridge it would be very hard for the village people to even come to town thank you
doing okay yeah okay people they would pass the small bridge from there and they will
climb on the hill and there will be the house they had to climb that hill to get
to town that would take him a whole day just to climb that hill wouldn't normally
happen now they will take a [...] a half hour yeah because for him like this is
very normal things so that just shows you how out of shape I am I like to hike but
I like easy hikes. We want to thank you guys for watching our video all the way to the end.
