today I'm making the journey from Kathmandu to pakara by car with a goal of seeing more
of what Nepal has to offer after taking in the sights sounds and salivating Taste of Kathmandu
Buffalo mamas the time has come to understand this beautiful country on a deeper level by
visiting one of its most loved towns so I packed my bags and got ready for one Epic Road Trip full
of bumpy roads incredible scenery and friendly people today we head to pakara or is it pakara
tell me in the comments below by the way if you want the same drive that we're doing I'm
gonna leave it in the description bar below I've not been feeling well lately
so I apologize if I'm a little bit less energy than usual I think you can tell from my voice
I'm just gonna walk to get some coffee would you like anything real quick you want coffee
okay I'm gonna walk I'll be back five minutes I'll be back you sure you don't want coffee no I'm not
ready okay it must be built different here I need coffee to survive so I've Loved Kathmandu like a
lot so I have really high expectations and high hopes that I'm also gonna love pakara I'm excited
to get there today it's about a six hour drive but I said it can be up to 10 if there's traffic so
let's hope we don't get traffic oh it gets worse now yeah we're heading to um pakara today do you
say pakara or pokahara pakara pocara okay you might see us back here you might come back
yeah most welcome thank you all right we're doing YouTube video is that okay for you yeah I'm okay
thank you good to go now what's your name my name is Deepak yes yes Jersey yeah yeah nice
to meet you you too we're on the way then like I said it's a long drive but I'm excited to
see how another part of Nepal looks to Kathmandu because I've loved it here The Vibes are so nice
so we've just stopped for some fuel and he was telling us that it's normally about a six hour
drive but they're doing construction to the roads and he said it might take anywhere up
to about seven or eight hours while the roads are still being um construction so he said there's a
Nepali Highway which is the one we're already on it's a windy road apparently that's also
why it takes longer it's not a straight road so we might be in for a uh foreign
as we covered the crazy turns of the snake Rose leading out of Kathmandu I
was glad to be in the safe hands of Deepak on this Epic Journey
drive carefully okay I saw the side then it was very close
okay I'm safe good don't do it safe with you
okay holy guacamole We Like Music Nepali yeah you just put music on
oh
so this part is super super bumpy and there's a whole bunch of construction going on he's told
us as well that they're building a tunnel which we can see being built over there so you can go
underground in the future to Nepal which would be really cool but to Kathmandu but right now
the roads are bumpy the roads are basically rocks at this point so it's a very bumpy Drive I think
that's stopped license and registration please [Laughter] by the way if you're in Kathmandu and
you want to go to hokkara I'm going to leave the link where we booked this car in the description
bar below so you can use it as well so we're still on these windy roads it's really in about
an hour and a half since we left and we're kind of going through these Hills and then there's
little towns or Villages as we go and we kind of go through the villages and then there's more of
like nothing besides amazing scenery and amazing views and then you come through another little
town or Village kind of like this just a couple of houses here and there it's beautiful here it's
it's stunning there's like pebbles grass patties kind of like barley like it's it's awesome all
right so we've stopped at our first stop um it's been probably almost two hours now oh yeah about
two hours it is quite Dusty actually I think because of all the construction on the sides
of the roads a lot of the Dust has been swept up into the air almost the whole way I think we're
gonna grab some food here you're doing the coffee a little bit something yeah okay yeah yeah neither
yes please yeah do you have a menu me to get the toaster we'll share could I please
get the toast with Jam thank you so we've got some breakfast food um because we haven't had
breakfast yet we've got a pancake and just a bit of toast with Jam to share and a about a
two out of ten coffee that is the end of lunch or breakfast technically breakfast good good let's go
definitely reminding me of allow we drove a car we hired a car and drove it and it's
definitely given me those vibes like seeing the nature like this and like the things on
the side of the roads but also the bumpy road has the same like mountainous Vibe
but more Creeks here more overhanging bridges more like rice paddy or Rice Field it's crazy
way you look there is beauty to be seen in the pool you just can't keep your eyes off
this magic well some of us can I guess we always sleeps on car rides I don't know how he does it
[Music]
oh a rock like river rafting River
what's it called
I haven't actually gone over many of them yet it's like a one one-way thing
so you have to like wait for the other cars to pass through but where [Music]
I'm watching my show and I'm watching something with my headphones but I'm always picking up
looking around like a little meerkat looking at the mountains and the terrain the road
and what's around me because it's absolutely stunning you think that you can't see anything
better than you go and drive for five more minutes and then something else beautiful
turns up as well on the side so it's a very enjoyable ride with the scenery the winding
roads took us deeper and deeper into the heart of Nepal and with each kilometer past the views
became more and more iconic from flashy and decorated buses faring tourists and workers
across the country to Nepal's iconic suspension bridges it truly is a magical place [Music]
so there's a cable car over that side that goes all the way up to a Hindu temple
um Deepak was telling us and there's like a couple of like advertisements placed on
the side of the Hill as well that's probably Prime advertisement space isn't it just cut
like two car Lane sometimes maybe one car um some of it's a little bit bumpy but most of
it's really flat it is a lot easier than the one from Wow telling me as well one of these Rivers
come from up in the mountains I'm pretty sure um from trekking or Rivers doing yeah
are we like halfway you reckon nowhere halfway yes yeah starting in the dancing Road oh it gets worse
now yeah okay so he said it would start to get worse from here on in and it's basically hit a
part where there's oh okay now it feels like loud in a part where there's no pavement or asphalt
um and now it's just basically a dirt road there's actually so much dust kicked up in
the air from all of the people in front of us that sometimes you can't even really even see
I am trusting this man with my life I reckon the second half it's going to take even longer it's
um one o'clock almost in the afternoon which means we've been going for about four hours oh my bad
hit the camera
[Music]
yeah good sleep tonight for you too
[Music]
coming up to hour number five on the journey just dirt road and rocks and then we kind of
kind of come out onto a little bit of pavement for a while and we kind of go back onto the rocks
okay
so you're coming up on the I think six hour mark now of being in the car the roads are
still rocky and not paved and we're still bumping around like a Martini in a glass but
um we are closing in on pakara if you haven't seen Kathmandu before if you're interested in
seeing Kathmandu I'm going to leave my video from Kathmandu on the screen so you can watch that as
well or down below I'm excited and obviously the next video is going to be in picara so if you want
to see another part of Nepal as well make sure you subscribe to see the next video so roughly
six and a half hours to almost maybe seven hours and we're about six kilometers from pakarus since
we're so close to picardo now we're just trying to find our hotel as we can get dropped there
okay we are here oh my I didn't realize how dirty the car was and look what I just got
I just got this on my so I didn't realize how dirty the car was look at all the dirt
thank you yeah
thank you oh my goodness all right thank you
so much you driving back now yes okay good luck safe drive
what's happening now yeah wow look if you're needing to do that drive definitely book these
two I will put the thing in the description please because he deserves that deception Michael yes
okay so it's four o'clock in the afternoon which means it took about seven hours eight thirty to
nine yes 10 11 12 1 2 3 4 about seven and a bit hours apparently that's good time
you can put down and call us again Michael accidentally booked a twin room but they
were nice enough to give us a double room with a double bed even though it booked a different
type of room but we still booked a deluxe room and both pictures have a full view of the lake which
is what I thought we were gonna have with like a balcony and a lake and everything like that and I
thought we're gonna you can see the lake from here it's not as nice but it's not and then no it's not
like it's he balcony and then you go over this side and you've just got sort of the busy street
I mean I know it's not a big deal but I was kind of looking forward to seeing the actual lake so
let's see if I have a deluxe room on the other side yeah all right come get our stuff oh really
yeah she was really nice she said yeah that's the room we gave you but it had the twin beds
and then you said you wanted a double bed and I said I didn't know that meant we wouldn't get
the view so she was like come down so we have to go back down back down to two yeah that's
the right the level the room's on yeah the lift's dead let's go down the stairs no lift
yeah thank you thank you sorry I didn't know that that meant we wouldn't get this one
okay okay
it feels like I'm covered in debt so now we have a twin room but we have a view of the lake
merchandiser with like the mountains in the background and stuff looks absolutely beautiful
and that's the reason why we actually booked this place um and we paid for it I'll just leave it in
the description by the way we stayed but we get some space for two three nights yes in the twin
beds the bed in the middle of the night again he was doing that all last night he kicked it
he randomly would kick the bed like four times and woke me up every time and I was like stop and
you're like sorry and and then you kept doing it you can see people on the lake a little houseboat
fun doing things oh wow they must float out there and you can sit and kind of eat and do whatever
you need to do all right so we have our twin beds here there with this view of the beautiful Lake
and mountains two seats a TV right at the end of the bed which is helpful an air conditioner
somewhere blowing on me hopefully that gets cold real quick a small little place to work
not really usually as big as we like want or need but that's okay a bed and then we have a bathroom
oh yeah pretty standard wet room how much about 30 USD so about 50 Australian we pay 52 Australian
yeah 52 Australian all right you were coming with me and we are going out to see if we can
grab a coffee from somewhere around pakara and just have a quick walk around the street because
obviously I haven't been here yet and I don't know what is really around us hi I don't really
know what's here yet so let's have a look it's starting to become nighttime because obviously
we got here quite late it's about 5 30 now it's a cool little town so like I said on the way if you
want to take the same booked trip or same car trip that we did I'm Gonna Leave the description below
the same trip that we took in Laos same amount of hours basically the same amount of kilometers was
a higher car for 580 and then the petrol on top of that was like a hundred bucks so it was like 680
um this one isn't cheap but it's like I don't know a quarter of the cost of that or a third or
something so it was definitely worth the money for us and also about half the cost of flying
here as well obviously it takes more hours to get here but I'll just link it down below if you're
interested in getting from Kathmandu to pokahara bakara I'm still having trouble with the name
okay and it's starting to rain I waited there and I ordered some food to take away now this
is making me so excited because this little town looks so cute there's like an array of different
cafes restaurants so I can't wait for tomorrow where we Explore More of bakara I forgot to tell
everyone you're sick so I want to get you food thank you now what happened oh you've gone so
long yes I can pass you the message after seven hours on the road I'm so happy to be here it's
