While in Nepal I was approached by many street hustlers. I was surprised by the sheer number of them hassling foreign tourists. So I made this video to help you identify the hustlers and avoid them and their illegal activities. Stay safe and enjoy your time in incredible Nepal!
So when you're travelling to Nepal, please be aware of these things and be prepared to say "No" and just keep walking when these guys approach you. It's not worth the risk that comes with these types of activities.

@kaylalipker4639 2 года назад

Lived in Nepal for a while and encountered this often as I worked in Thamel. All of this is really common however, there are things you can do to keep yourself safe and to have good relationships with the vendors who are there to make an honest living. Basically do not entertain anyone selling things in the street unless it's the little old ladies in the morning selling vegetables, milk, or tea. Secondly, do not go wandering out alone at night. This makes you look like someone who is looking for the illegal activities. Most Nepalis are in their house by sundown so they can make dinner and then go to bed so everyone that's out afterwards is part of the underground scene. Thirdly, if you don't want something don't entertain it by asking questions. Either ignore them and walk away or tell them chaahidaina which means "I don't want." They'll leave you alone and go on their way. There are things like this going on no matter where in the world you travel, but if you know how to keep yourself safe and follow the lead of the local you can enjoy all of the beautiful things that the place your visiting has to offer.

@revealview 3 месяца назад

Or simply avoid Thamel.

@sandeshkunwar2311 2 года назад

It is easy to avoid these things , just say ‘ Leave me alone ‘ . I’ve been there alot of times and never felt unsafe. Karl initially expressed interest (to show prices or get info) that is the only reason they were following him because they are just salesmen. And if you buy from them they will leave you.

@tigergreg8 2 года назад

I'm glad you wrote it, because I was going to. If you are going to go out, and someone offers it to you, just say no, that isn't something I ever do, Thank You, and proceed on. I did that once when someone offered me something and I was polite but made it known it's not my thing. He left, and I went on my way. To tell someone you'll be back or give 100% approval just sets you up for this every time you walk around after that.

Hey Karl, I am really glad that you came to Nepal. This beautiful nation has very low amount of bad things to offer. The place you went called Thamel is not known for good reasons (you can find various memes about Thamel on the internet too). So I would suggest you visit other districts that are close to Kathmandu like Nuwakot, Sindhupalchok, kavre. These places will allow you to see the Nepal you didn not imagine. These districts are peaceful, full of natural beauty and friendly Nepalese who are willing to meet foreigners and treat them properly and with manners. And these problems that occured with you in Thamel won't bother you anymore! Excited for more Nepalese content!

When I went to Nepal for the first time, back in 1987, it was way worse. At that time you had also illegal money changers, they gave a lot better exchange rate than the normal banks. Dance bars and girls where not there at that time. But like Karl says: stay away from these illegal things. You really don't want to end up in a Nepali jail.

@NewZman23 2 года назад

also me in 1982 - and 9 times since then. I used black market money changers all the time - such a better rate than the banks. $US100 bills were the best value to change. If I wanted weed I would get it from my friends who lived out of Kathmandu - we'd share a glass of Nepali chiya and a chillum 🙂

@MrBabooke 2 года назад

I've been in Nepal 8 times, so far. The best money changers were the carpet shops! Changing money was a social thing, drinking a cup of tea, during the negotiaton. That changed in the early '90's when you had to show a receipt from the bank when you applied for a trekking permit or visa extention.

@SHRD 2 года назад

yup Nepalese jail are not the jail you want to be in it is much worse then the jails in USA or other western countries. And you are not treated nicely as well. And Nepalese police don't spare the criminal if you have committed crime you are done. But the sad part here is some police officers are corrupt as hell so they will take handsome amount from you to leave you. But it is not a risk to take cause if the person you try to bribe is like not corrupt then you will face another charge as well i am just 17 and dont know much about laws but i would assure you it will not be a fun experience just the pictures of the jail scare me.

Thamel is in Kathmandu. It is a haven for tourists visiting the city. It contains numerous hotels, restaurants, and shops that cater specifically to western tourists. It is located in the northern region of Kathmandu past the government district on Tridevi Marj. Although some consider it to be overcrowded it has been used by westerners since the 1970's when hippies in the region discovered it. Although now it has become quite commercial. Thamel is an easy walk from anywhere in central Kathmandu. Though the roads can be quite busy during the day, and traffic can be quite heavy.

@NewZman23 2 года назад

@@nancydrew1882 Exactly my view Nancy Drew. Nepal is still one of the poorest countries in the world - even University educated people find it difficult to find a job in Kathmandu - and even if they do it will pay very little. My first visit to Nepal was in 1982 (and been back many times since then) and it was the same then - it was never a problem for me. In all of these encounter, if Karl had just ignored them and made no eye contact and walked on saying nothing they would have left him alone. Chances are most of these "street traders" (not scammers) have come from their villages where life is so hard. They probably have a wife and baby or two at home and a day on the streets of Thamel selling a little weed or hash to tourists will bring them enough money to survive for a week or two back in the village. Actually if we have to "blame" or shame anyone it is the tourists - it's all about supply and demand - the tourists (not all tourists of course) - they demand and an enterprising young Nepali supplies; better than robbing and stealing to survive. And we have to remember that until about 1974 marijuana (ganja) and hashish were legal and had been part of the culture of Nepal for hundreds of years. - Until the American government stepped in (concerned that some of their younger generation were travelling to Nepal to get stoned) and "bribed" the corrupt Nepali government with large amounts of money they called "aid" if they made weed and hash illegal. How ironical that today many states in the US (and other countries) have legalised weed and in fact make a lot of money out of weed smokers via taxes.

Thanks for this video, KARL! I am coming to NEPAL in mid January and I am just curious to know what's the covid situation like? Is everything open? Also, will I have to quarantine or negative PCR test is enough? BTW, I am fully vaccinated.

@dant9133 2 года назад

I think 14 days of quarantine is mandatory since Dec 18, 2021 due to upsurge in Omnicron variant globally. Covid situation until this day is good with very low daily covid cases. Everything is fully open. As you know, covid situation can change in a short time, just be well informed and prepared to take necessary steps if things get worst.

@KarlRock 2 года назад

Hey! It's all quite normal there, although some restaurants had closed permanently or were operating on a limited menu. But no issues really. See this blog post for all the best food I found in Kathmandu blog.karlrock.com/the-best-cheap-eats-in-kathmandu/ Quarantine... I don't know what the latest is, it changes often so anything I tell you now could change.

I mean KTM used to be weed capital and hippy central where weed and hash used to be dispensed by government regulated shops until USA forced our king to make it illegal. Another thing where there's demand there's supply meaning if tourists weren't out there asking the locals for these things they wouldn't be posted up like that. I think if you step out of thamel you would have a different experience.

@NewZman23 2 года назад

🙂Exactly. The corrupt US government bribed the corrupt Nepali government with promises of large amounts of dollars (they called it aid) if the young King Birendra made it illegal. Ironical that in many US states it is now legal - but not in Nepal. In my opinion these guys are harmless - just trying to make a living, while the still corrupt Nepali government wastes their time arguing about who will be leader and split the political parties into even smaller factions - it's an old trick - divide and rule ! Better these street traders do this than go out robbing and stealing to survive. I've visited Nepal 9 times since 1982 and I always stayed in Monumental Lodge in Freak St (Jochhen Tol). It's still there today but is now a private residence. I never had a problem with these guys - if you're not interested, just ignore them and walk on. And as you say, step out of Thamel and you will find the true "soul" of Nepal. I hope to return in 2022, but if I want some ganja I will ask my friends in the village - and chances are we will share a Nepali chiya and chillum together - and of course it will cost nothing, but a smile and a friendly "Namaste". Jai Nepal 🙂

Dude. You go around the most touristy 'red-light' part of the city at night, asking the guys what they are offering, and then wonder why they are bothering you? C'mon. Go over to Boudha and walk around. Much better experience. No one will bother you there. You literally picked the _only_ place in Nepal where touts will approach you and then make an 'undercover stay safe in Nepal' video. Aside from the fact that none of these people are scamming or threatening you in any way. How about telling some real Nepali stories, rather than this clickbait nonsense?

This is the reason why locals often avoid Thamel even though it's a great place... it's kind of regarded as a ' den of immorality' with all the dance bars nd massage parlours and pimps..best to stay away at night

@bravomike4734 2 года назад

All places in the world will end up having these things whether its Shangai China (not sure) or Edo Japan or etc. Let's hope that in time with proper good honest governance, we will be able to eradicate these issues. I think most of its cause is the lack of opportunity for honest work. When people just want money, it would make less sense for them to fall to dishonest work if dishonest work ends up being less profitable than an honest work even with a capitalist mindset.
