are you ready yes we are leaving Chitwan today and we are taking a tourist bus to Pokhara so it's
actually our first time taking a tourist bus nervous and excited a bit because it's like
a six to seven hour drive and we heard that the roads are not very good so it may even take longer
than that we got to rush because the owner of the hotel he's gonna drop us off at the bus station
I'm glad we bought these backpacks because it would have been so difficult to travel
around Nepal with a suitcase yeah this is definitely a way easier way
we're ready
beautiful day here today though it does get a lot hotter here than when we were in Kathmandu because
we're on the southern part of Nepal so we're very close to India yeah very close
will this fit
it's a very nice car
can we take this all the way to Pokhara
this is electric car we have to charge in the middle to Pokhara
the motion sickness pills I had got from Thailand half for you
half for me it should take about 30 minutes for it to come into effect
we won't even feel any effect because we'll just be so happy on the bus so it
feels like we're floating yeah it will be such a smooth ride
so all the buses say tourist bus so does it mean local people can't take them this is just for
tourists it's a little expensive there's a local people go by local bus mostly
but some VIP local people they use this one
and is there AC
yeah there is AC okay
okay thank you so much thank you so much thank you for everything we'll see you next time thank you
he's such a lovely man
Suraj is the best
he's so sweet
I'll miss him
you know what I noticed Suraj didn't say Pokhara he said Pok Hara so have we been saying
it wrong we should ask someone make sure we don't say Pokara for two or three of the next
videos we make sure we say it correctly does the AC work the AC is working oh it's cold
I think this is gonna be fine it's gonna be really nice
so many people actually take the tourist bus from Kathmandu to come to Chitwan but because we
weren't feeling particularly well the day we were leaving Kathmandu we both kind of had some stomach
problems we were a bit scared to take the tourist bus so we paid 12,000 rupees and booked a private
car to drive us to Chitwan that's the reason why we haven't taken a tourist bus in Nepal until now
the drive from Kathmandu to Chitwan was fine it was fun but there was a landslide a couple
days before the drive so part of the bridge kind of collapsed and that's why suddenly it became
like a one-way path for just a little bit but it caused an hour and a half delay we were basically
just sitting in the car with the windows open the engine was off and we were just waiting to
be able to cross so that part wasn't so fun the fun part was the driver he sang for us
almost the whole way to Chitwan with a beautiful voice we were like oh can we connect our phone to
the Bluetooth system and he was like Bluetooth doesn't work I sing for you but it was funny
because you were like oh auxiliary cable I have he's like no it doesn't work I sing
no no need for radio yeah I'm always radio
so right now we're still in the city and you're going to notice that the roads
are quite well paved but we're still going only maybe like 50 kilometers per
hour we don't usually go really fast or that's what we noticed when we're driving in Nepal as
we get out of the city though the roads get rougher and rougher it gets so rough that you
kind of drive like 20 to 30 kilometers per hour so definitely don't expect to get to
places really quickly when you're traveling in Nepal it usually does take a lot longer
quick toilet break
we could grab some snacks here too if you're hungry oh
they have potatoes
chickpeas
boiled eggs
stir-fry noodle looks really good I think they have Momo here too oh
this one
one
what is the name of this
this is chana
how much 50 rupees
50 rupees that's really cheap
mix this all up it's almost like a snack and a salad mixed together yeah there's
onion there's green chilies chickpeas and lots of spices
yummy yes
that's like the most popular dish here everyone is ordering that yeah it's so easy to eat and it's very
tasty I'm gonna avoid the chilies I think it's gonna be really spicy for me
isn't it delicious
it has lots of spices like Curry kind of mixed into it but it's also like this is
a really good source of protein you know what I mean it's so filling is it gonna make everyone
really gassy on the bus for the next six hours let's go check out the other stall
is this masala tea
milk tea
can I get one milk tea
that looks so good
how much we have to go we have to go we gotta go
oh it is so delicious we have to buy some of this to make it when we get back home
better finish this before we take off because it's gonna be a bumpy ride it will spill everywhere
one of the best isn't it
it's delicious did we pay I paid okay because it was
so quick I was like oh no I hope we paid it's just 100 rupees
how's the bus ride for you so far it was quite nice I fell asleep I think I was sleeping for
most of it until I could feel some parts where it was going so slow and we were so like bumpy
so I woke up to take a look we were like on the edge now we're kind of at this part where I think
there's a lot of landslides that happen around here so they're constantly clearing
up all of the Rocks it's quite slow and bumpy here for sure can I come in
wow
very nice along the way you see a lot of water trucks like this spraying water on
the ground to keep the dust down and if it gets too dusty it would be so hard for the
driver to see that's why there's a lot of these water trucks very good driver
how long do we have left
how long to Pokhara
4 hours
do you say Pokara or Pokhara
P-O-H-K-A-R-A
how are you doing
good you were gone for a while it's so cool sitting in the cockpit you
can see everything is that what you would call it in a bus yeah
I got you cutlery just in case
you wanted it but you're probably eating with your hand yeah I want to eat like the
local I love eating with my hands
eating with my hands takes me a lot longer than with cutlery
it's extra flavourful with your hands
we always enjoy thali they usually mix everything up with the rice but because I
don't like them to be mixed I like to eat them separately yeah they pour the lentils directly
on the rice to eat it the lentils is really good the food in Nepal has been so good delicious and
safe because we haven't been sick from Nepalese food yet the only time we got sick because we had
Korean food and the locally made Soju yeah so when you come to Nepal try to stick to local food
back on the bus now and we have around
two more hours according to Google Maps so I'm gonna say
three and a half hours four at least four
but we are full and I think the food coma is going to hit because that's what lentils do
to you usually and then we'll just pass out and we'll be uh in Pokhara
how many friend only one friend my wife me and my wife yes and you're my
new friend so you are my friend okay what's your name my name is

say I'm from Thailand and then 15 minutes into the conversation there would be like
