Nepal Knife Shop:  Kukri

NEPAL, KATHMANDU: I spent today wandering around Kathmandu's many markets looking for unique shops to buy Nepalese souvenirs from. To be honest I didn't find many stores that piqued my interest. But one stood out, the Ghurka knife shop selling Kukris in the centre of Kathmandu. Kukris come in many shapes and sizes. Some are ceremonial. Others are used for hunting and in combat. This shop had it all so I felt compelled to investigate and make a purchase.

    4x134 - Hotel vs. Hotel Nepal

    December 10, 2019

    NEPAL, KATHMANDU: Wherever I go in this world I like to stay in hotels in the to range. Even in Europe or America it's generally possible to find something in that range. You just have to compromise a lot on quality, amenities and comfort. But how cheap can a hotel room get if you're willing to compromise on hygiene, cleanliness, amenities, quality (essentially everything) in a country like Nepal? Well, that's what I set out to investigate as I left the relative comfort of my suite hotel room to search for Kathmandu's cheapest hotel room.

  • I took a stranger shopping in Nepal

    4x135 - I took a stranger shopping in Nepal

    December 11, 2019

    NEPAL, KATHMANDU: After checking in to the world's greatest five dollar hotel room, my new friend from the reception wanted to take me to the market. Given the state of the hotel room, I could only imagine the state of the local market. So this was something I had to see with my own eyes. My new friend didn't speak a word of English but he is one of the most jovial characters I've met in a while. He was therefore mighty excited when it finally sunk in that I wasn't shopping for myself at this bargain Nepalese market but for him....

  • Nepal's Craziest Market

    4x136 - Nepal's Craziest Market

    December 11, 2019

    NEPAL, KATHMANDU: The centre of Nepal's capital have more markets than any other downtown area I've seen in Asia. The two biggest merge into one another and become indistinguishable from one another as street after street is lined with shops and stalls selling t-shirt, knives, shoes and local souvenirs. Surprisingly though given its size and the incredible number of people who wander around here bargain hunting, the noise level of this place isn't anywhere near what you'd expect in the equivalent market of India or Vietnam. Still, given the chaos that reigns across this market it's one of the most intriguing I've ever seen.

    December 12, 2019

    NEPAL, KATHMANDU: 2020 is visit Nepal year and seeing as I've got the budget food and hotel covered in the videos I've made up until now, I decided to investigate what the hotel options for those who truly do not care what they pay for accommodation are. My choice of resort thus fell on Dwarika's Resort Dhulikel, about and hour outside Kathmandu with a great view of the Himalayas. I've stayed briefly in luxury hotels and resorts in Sri Lanka and somewhat knew what to expect. But what I wasn't prepared for is how the Nepalese take service in such establishments above and beyond to accommodate their guests and ensure they have a luxurious worry free stay...

    December 12, 2019

    NEPAL, DHULIKHEL: As the sun set on this ultra luxurious resort on the outskirts of Kathmandu I started getting hungry. But there was only one problem. I didn't feel like sitting in the restaurant as I was still dead tired and not in the mood to leave the comfort of my luxurious executive suite. Enter room service to the rescue. Turns out there was no need to journey down to the restaurant as they'd bring everything to your room. The menu consisted of two set option. A locally sourced Nepalese 3 course dinner or some Western cuisine. I opted for the former as I had yet to truly investigate the Nepalese kitchen. Praying that it'd taste like Indian food I sat down and waited....

    NEPAL, KATHMANDU: As I got into Kumar's taxi, I decided to film from the get go as I wanted to make a little 2 minute update for you guys about how he was doing and his life as a cab driver. I already knew he is likely Nepal's funniest taxi driver but little did I know that he'd launch into a 30 minute monologue which would end up rivaling the best of the great Borat! Jagshemash. . . . . The drive was so entertaining that I had to force a pit stop at Pizza Hut. So this is the story of Harald and Kumar goes to Nepal's Pizza Hut.

    December 14, 2019

    NEPAL, KATHMANDU: It was 9:30​ in Kathmandu and after 3 more or less sleepless nights I was awoken abruptly by a phone call. "Good morning Sir", said an over the top jovial voice at the other end. It was Kumar, Nepal's funniest taxi driver, and he seemed to be up for another adventure. A couple of hours later after dragging myself out of bed I ventured downtown Kathmandu to see him. My plan was to do a market hunt and witness his bargaining skills first hand. It turns out however that Kumar had different plans......

    NEPAL, KATHMANDU: This Sunday evening I was invited to wine and dine with my favorite Nepali citizen. Since I'm not one to show up without presents, I decided to go shopping at Kathmandu's Bhrikuti Bazaar first. This is perhaps the cheapest market in Nepal's capital so I decided to truly investigate how low the vendors would go for a Northface Winter jacket here. To my amazement it was the vendors that operated with fixed prices that had the best bargains of all....

    NEPAL, KATHMANDU: Apartment in Nepal may not be the most modern looking but they are incredible value for money compared to Europe and America. Case in point, Kumar's presidential palace. I had the privilege of attending a dinner with his whole family present. Afterwards he gave me a little tour of his apartment in Nepal's capital Kathmandu.
