I'm really sorry to hear about your experience with the bus driver in Nepal. It's disappointing to know that you were overcharged and scammed like that. As a Nepali, I want to apologize on behalf of my country. Most of us are welcoming and kind, and it's frustrating when visitors like you have to deal with such situations. I hope this incident doesn’t spoil your impression of Nepal, and I truly wish the rest of your trip is filled with positive experiences. Safe Travels
Usually incidents like that make me angry for 5 minutes and then I forget about that. I'm just disappointed, cause I can't stand dishonesty and when people try to think they can fool me
@@WildCARLOSappeared u went to patan darbar square on ur first day without buying tickets and u talk bout dishonesty? Pfff .tbh It doesn't suit u talking bout honestly. PS: hope that conductor gets arrested
Carlos, what an incredible video! I loved how you explored Bhaktapur and gave us such a vivid look at the Nepali traditions, Hindu religion, and Newari culture. Your guide Pramesh was fantastic, and it was so interesting to hear about the local customs and try the famous Newari food with you. Even though you got scammed, you handled it so well, and it added a real touch of adventure to the experience! You’ve been doing amazing work so far-what’s next after Nepal? Can’t wait to see where you take us on your next journey!
I think Sidhhalaxmi is different form Laxmi, the goddess of wealth who is the consort of lord vishnu. Siddhilaxmi is the powerful tantric manifestation of Durga and her consort is Shiva himself. That's why her temple was built near the Bhairab
You could complain to Tourist Police if somebody scammed you in bus travel and get the plate number of bus..You always carry changes while you travelling local bus and ask them what is the rate of bus.
25:41 Siddhi Laxmi is the goddess of not just wealth but immense wealth, Goddess Laxmi is the goddess of wealth but Siddhi Laxmi is the goddess of immense wealth. She can give you far beyond your imaginations. Lord Bhairav or Aakash Bhairav next to her is regarded as the king of Kashi in India back then. He came to the dream of King and said to him that he will come to see the festival. The king asked how will he recognize Lord Bhairav. Lord Bhairav replied I will be a head taller than the tallest man in the festival. So, on the day of festival king recognized the Lord Bhairav but Lord Bhairav went inside the ground but at the mean time people caught his head and chopped it so and kept him in Bhaktapur. But as everyone knows that Lord Bhairav is regarded as the ferocious incarnation of Lord Shiva, Lord Bhairav rained his anger in Bhaktapur. The king had no clue how to deal with his so, he went to the astrologer and asked for the solution. The astrologer advised king to make a temple of goddess who is more powerful and can control the anger of Lord Bhairav so, the astrologer suggested king to build a temple of Tantric goddess Siddhi Laxmi as he believed only she could control the anger of Lord Bhairav so, the king build the 5 storied temple.
I have visited Nepal and Siliguri, Darjeeling, Kalimpong and Gangtok in India. So basically Siliguri, Darjeeling, Kalimpong and Gangtok are like Nepal with Wow Momos, Domino's Pizza, KFC, Starbucks, Toy Train and 5G internet. 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 I also felt Nepal is very Indianized, one state of India called Mizoram feels more foreign than Nepal.
NEPAL doesn;t mean that BS that guy claimed at 12:30 According to Hinduism, Nepal derives its name from an ancient Hindu sage called Ne, referred to variously as Ne Muni or Nemi. According to Pashupati Purana, as a place protected by Ne, the country in the heart of the Himalayas came to be known as Nepal. The word pala in Pali language means to protect. Consequently, Nepala translates to protected by Ne.- sauce - wikipedia
Sorry for the scam, it’s so unfortunate that people like you come with such a pure intention to explore and get new experiences but some scum tries to scam and take advantage of the opportunity. Have a good trip and watch out for the scammers.
26:22 Both the temple has nothing to do with money controlling the anger. He made up a story. Siddhi Laxmi is tantric goddess having immense power that can control the anger of Bhairav. Not the power of money in anyway possible….. 37:25 as the guide rule of Nepal states none of the guide should drink any sort of alcoholic beverage during their working hour or while they are serving their clients….
Nice video❤Nepal has been on my list for a long time. Would you consider coming to China someday? Like Shanghai is well-knowned as Little Mumbai of East Asia.
Don't believe them about the art painting. Those looks like the same ones in India. Don't get scammed. That tour guide makes commission when he takes you to the places he knows he will get commission from.
I actually found it funny how he just so happened to arrive at his wife’s store pretty much a door or two up from where that egg meal you got. Coincidence? I think not. Keep up the great work Carlos, just wished you had more videos out on Nepal 🇳🇵 they look so interesting.
@@Sammispratt48 I don't blame the guide for taking him to his wife's shop. Nothing wrong with that actually makes good business sense for these people and good content for us as well. The art shops I think are a bit more shady and primarily there only for tourists.
May be some travel Guide books help you man, people are not always good out there sorry for the bad experience you had, hope you neglect the negativity and enjoy your trip.
I don't let my mood being affected by such minor incidents. I'm usually mad for 3 minutes and then I'm back to normal 😀 And of course it was only $2 or so. When I get scammed for $10 or even $100 that would be totally different.
5:13 This Guide share Fake Story about "Lord Buddha "there is no connection with Hindi God.. " u can ask with real "Buddhist Khenpo or Lama.. No Hindi God connection with Lord Buddha 😮
Actually in Vaishnava Puranas, it is written that Buddha is an avatar of Vishnu, but it is not the Gautama Buddha we know, the avatar is actually the Sugata Buddha. Buddha is not a name but a title given to great intelligent philosophers.
Sir, Everthing is belief. So you cannot prove he was reincarnation of Vishnu neither you can prove he was not. So yeah Buddhism is a way of living. Let it be. Let we Hindus accept Buddha as reincarnation of vishnu and there will be no debate between us. Let us all assume every creator of religion is reincarnation of each other gods. So that no religious debate and wars crimes will be there. Stand for humanity just like Buddha told.
This guide gave a lot of wrong information. The Stupa is nepali design which was originally taken by Arniko to China, Bhai ...if you dont know something please dont give wrong information.
