Himalaya Gongo Hotel ๐ณ๐ต
์์ค ์ฝ๋
- ๊ฒ์์ผ 2022. 01. 04.
- โ NEPAL, HIMALAYA: Ever since I'd ran into an Indian trekker coming back down along the Langtang river on my first day of this Himalayan excursion, I've had one thing on my mind: get to Tibet Guesthouse at Lama Hotel rest-stop and try their Gongo (or Roksi as it's called in Nepal).
I always like to sample locally made brews when I'm in a new country and according to this Indian who had just spent the previous night at Tibet Hotel, the owner there had made the best Gongo he'd ever had in his entire life.
In fact, and I quote: "He has brewed it to perfection!", he said.
That's why I set out from Bamboo Lodge so early in the morning without even eating anything other than a granola bar. I wanted to get to Tibet Guesthouse as soon as possible to start the day like any real man should: with a fresh shot of Gongo!
What I didn't expect though was to run into the coolest and nicest couple I met on my whole Himalayan trekking adventure. A couple that started the very first lodge at the Hotel Lama location over 40 years ago and are still running that same guesthouse today.
โ Now before you watch, or after for that matter, I'd like to comment on what you see in the very beginning here, which I actually fully understand given the hard times hotel and guesthouse operators face, but still rubs me the wrong way. As I'm walking into this area here called Lama hotel I already knew where I was going: Tibet Guesthouse.
Every-time I entered a cluster of guesthouses like this, the people who run the first hotels and restaurants will of course be outside trying their best get you to stop at theirs. In this case however I knew where I was going and clearly stated I was going to Tibet Guesthouse, although I didn't know exactly which building that was.
Instead of simply pointing it out for me, they answer evasively on all my questions and instead say something along the lines of why don't I stop at their hotel instead.
Normally I am fairly good and ignoring such people but in this case I was so obsessed with hunting for Gongo that they nearly got the better of me. Especially when I saw that big barrel of I almost set up shop there and as you can see for the next 5 minutes even after getting away, seriously pondered going back to eat at said hotel.
Luckily I came to my senses and both drank and ate at Tibet Guesthouse which was the original plan. My point is when someone already know where they're going I wish they'd simply say sure... that's the hotel you see 3 buildings down there on the right; enjoy!

Can you post everyday please :) big fan from Nepal sir
Like ur content, atb for the future
Liked it, Harald Bahadur, the raksi man. Lol
Merry Christmas ๐ from Russia ๐ท๐บ
Come to Jammu Kahmir India please. I am big fan of you.
I know I am not the only person waiting for each episode. This feels like a Netflix series.
Yess you're not the only one!
Me too โค๏ธ
Same here
Lmao Right!
Trueโค๐
Thank you so much Harald baldr for visiting our place. Those Tibetan couple from Tibet guest house is my Mom and dad. Your this blog really made me felt that I had visited there recently even though live far away from them. Your blog are always the greatest. ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐๐
They are amazing. My greetings to them next time you speak ๐
@@HaraldBaldr they recently come to Kathmandu now. I showed your blog they really loved it. I told them about you and your followers on KRplus they shock ๐๐
@@sonamtserig7307 I told your father several times I was gonna help fill up his guesthouse with travelers and have people journeying for days to try his Roksi. He said thank you every time but I guess he didn't believe me ๐
Wow, what are the odds of you being related to the people in the video. The world is small.
Your parents are so sweet and lovely ๐
I've said it a hundred times, but I have to say it again. No one gives you the kind of REAL travel experience that Harald does. Thank-you, Sir. I cannot afford to go to any of these places but you really do show me what they are like!
100%
You need to travel yourself
@@sam_rowan That was a cool post and I really appreciate it -I'll also check out that book. And if I'm completely honest, I think I sometimes use the money thing as an excuse. I have no debt and I've got a pretty good savings that I'm just reluctant to use. But as you say, I need to get out there. The only real traveling I've done was in the Yucatan and the Caribbean. Don't worry,, I'm not talking about cruises or all inclusive resorts.....I did the kind of stuff Harald and Bald and others do and it was the greatest time of my life. I know that still isn't exactly being adventurous (its less than 1500 miles from home and even when going off the tourist trail there are not many truly isolated/adventurous places. But it gave me just enough of a feel for travel that I know I'd enjoy going to more exotic places. Thanks for the encouragement and I hope you GET OUT THERE too! :)
Harald is one of the best people I've ever come across till now !
Yes, Harald and his friend Bald.
Cruel China took away Tibet. Destroyed Buddhism. Thanks to India and Nepal for giving shelter to these awesome people.๐ณ๐ต๐ฎ๐ณ
China liberated Tibet by ending serfdom there.
@@mobilegeeks236 lmao china has never liberated shit
@@tbone9803 Who decided that?
@@mobilegeeks236 stop the bullshit. China invaded Tibet and killed millions.
@@senzuu3089 youโre absolutely correct
The couple at the Tibet guesthouse are solid gold....Humanity could learn a great lesson by interacting with the peoples of the Nepal Himalaya.....
Yes, so heartwarming to see how well they treat their paying customers, brings a tear to my eyes.
@@Frankybeanselevators You are one of the members of humanity Im referring to. got sardonic?
The Tibetan Buddhism is pretty deep stuff. They are inner billionaires.
In my trips to Nepal, i realized that a teahouse can beat any five star hands down. What they lack in infrastructure and facilities is covered by their warmth. Truly amazing.
@Harald Baldr 'Dall bhatt" literally means lentils (dall) and rice (bhatt): same in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal.
So you can't have dall bhatt potato' without bhatt, and not expect rice like the video before!!
As a German I stayed alltogether one year in Nepal, got adopted by Bantawa RAI and feel kinda homesick watching this. My nepalese friends visited me in Germany many times too. That traveller might get more insights.

I am a Nepali, born and raised in Nepal. I grew up just outside of Kathmandu valley and lived a few years in Kathmandu before moving to the US about two decades ago. Though I have never been to these parts of Nepal, I truly enjoy your videos, especially the people, their hospitality, their selflessness, and their simplicity! Thanks for the videos and the efforts you put in making them man!
Are you an illegal person, who lives on the streets of Philadelphia.
As a Nepalese - The way you interact, and show the genuine interest and friendliness with the locals is amazing. My mom always used to say: in Nepal, you may be poor and not have luxuries but you will never go hungry as long as you find someone's house.
Agree
Thank u !! I should mention nepali is that kind of people who try to help other even they have nothing
Bro I'm a Sri Lankan, I lived in Kathmandu when I was a kid. What you said was 100% true. People will engage you and match your energy all the way, Nepalis are the greatest people on the planet, much respect to every Nepali forever

Please do itโฆ Nepal welcoming you on your next trip
Hii
I don't think there's anyone else who can capture raw experiences quite like harald does. Great video as always man! Love this series and keep em coming โคโคโค
Should watch Indigo Traveler but Harald is the best. Both are awesome . Toodles !
This is better than any Netflix episode.. such nice people..
I am so amazed with the how local understand the English... Feels like they get educated with conversation with visitor thank u all the local and international visitor for promoting Nepalese culture and the country... With love
Bro,they are literally uneducated ๐ธ
I've literally booked a flight to Nepal for March thanks to these videos. It looks amazing.
Enjoy!
Thank you buddy๐ฅ๐ฅ
From which country do you belong ?
We welcome you Mr.Dom.
I hope you have a good stay.
Try visiting Barun national park too.๐
There is something about those treks in Nepal, that do give you an indescribable connection to the natural environment.
Accidentally found my self here and l'm loving it! This Herald man is a genius,the way he is interacting with the locals is awesome ๐๐ I need gongo also , I'm a content creator doing travels as well and really appreciate (salute)these kind of people who are welcome and ready to share what they do in life! Much respect from USA๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ
I did the Annapurna base camp trek in 2018. Had the time of my life and nearly fell out of my emergency helicopter that was rescuing me from the top because i rolled my ankle. The most beautiful country ive visited by far! thanks Baldr for showing your support to the Nepali people and especially those working in the tourist industry.
Harald from living with the Maasai in Tanzania to shooting hogs from a helicopter in Texas to living in the favelas in Brazil to hiking on the roof of the world in Nepal in like 8 months, and much more before that, what an absolutely incredible life.
Watching this series for the second time now.. Some of the best you ever made Harald! โคโค
I love the โYes Manโ from India! Please bring him back!
You shouldn't miss going to mustang, jomsom.The bus drive from phokara to jomsom is a real adventure.๐ On the way back, ask for hot springs bathing. The views are absolutely beautiful
The beads she was showing you is called Mala, its used for counting mantras. She was doing a Tara mantra in front of you, guess she also did for your protection on your way. The Tara is a powerful goddess of protection
He was doing prayers when you came in, daily normal routine for tibetans ๐
lovely comment!!
Wow. Im happy to hear that. You know so much about our culture and tradition. โค๏ธ
Kaa Lee, youโre lovely ๐

This series has honesstly been one of my favorite! The adventure, the interaction with the locals just feels like we're actually there with you (minus the actual hiking of course lol). Be safe, Harald!
Love this series. Very polite people who live in the rural areas and their hospitality is world class
๐๐๐
Like the West, when people like this visit,not.
Unlike us lot that live in the cities with all the western world conveniences.
I love how Hospitable the people there, accomodating harld in every way they can ofcourse with gongo milk tea๐. Harald is a Legendary human being! The best Tourist Guide in his own best way.
i understand their hospitality but it is also not hard to see that these people really seem to be struggling with the ridiculous lockdown policies due to which they have almost no tourism. they keep giving harald cards of hotels/ lodges of close friends/relatives etc.. sweet people, but they are struggling. god bless them.
@@aditisaini556 absolutely right.
Just saw one of your santa videos in the Philippines. Heartwarming for another frozen Norwegian. You're a pretty damned good human being yourself :)
Himalayan people are same every where as in Nepal and India. Very simple and loving
@@RansomMemoryAccess thankyou sir! Sharing is caring through the help of my friends back in US and UK.
Another great one Harald! Also, all these people from such remote places being so welcoming and readily trying to converse in a foreign language is incredible!
it amazes me how you do all these alone... and then you realize you're not alone, you're there with all these amazing people.
I don't know what it is about the Nepalese people but I absolutely love them. They're kind, caring, affectionate and just genuinely lovely people. I would love to do the same trip, but I fear I wouldn't want to come back to my life here in the UK.
Nepalese gurkha and uk share strong bond for years. Travelled to london few years back. Amazing place
@@shivirsharma8439 we love the Gurkhas! Glad you enjoyed it.
Compassionate Buddhists
Iโm a Nepali student at Manchester & no one in the Uk seems nice to us Nepalese. They donโt even know where nepal is . Theyโd say oh ๐ฏ Nepal yea itโs in India right? What a foolish knowledge!! Plus Iโve met zero people with humanity in their hearts.. additional information if you Nepali are boasting about Nepali Gurkha Uk relations. Gurkhaโs in Uk are still struggling & fighting for their rights in the Uk.. the Uk government has given 0 fucks after 40 yrs of loyality to the crown & u guys donโt know shit we Nepali face in the Uk .: ๐ช๐ช
@@floydnation1992 that doesn't surprise me at all unfortunately! People here are miserable generally. If you're ever near Sheffield give me a shout, I'll take you for a meal.
Raw style of vlog is really amazing no fancy shots no background music just connecting with the people of the community
Those are the best vlogs
Next-level immersion, it really takes you as if you're Harald.
That lady is super cool and honestly genuinely humble, I love her vibe and simplicity. You can see she is very content and has peace of mind like no other
This season it was all over the news that langtang hotels were fully booked for several days... โค
Your episodes just hit different when you're outside the western culture and interact with these genuine people who live in these humble environments. Travelling for me was always primarily about enjoying a country in regards of weather and nature. But your videos really show that it's about the people and their cultures. Thanks for the videos :)
I feel like videos in western culture are only about 20% of all his content, but I agree
Yes thats exactly what it is, it hits different
oh yeah

Hey Harald, I really admire your character. You are brave enough to go wherever you like even though there are uncertainties. And I've seen your kindness every where you go. You're living your life to the fullest.
This video made me so emotional Harald. Reminded me of my grandparents. They looked exactly like the couple at the Tibet Lodge and same age too. My grandma would make Raksi too. When she did it was the day everyone showered because of the hot water ๐. I loved how well the lady spoke English despite never having an education, exactly like my grandma. Your Chowmein looked so delicious. I hope you get to see them and stay with them on your way back. Loving this series so much. Every morning I wake up I check Instagram to see if there is an update from you. So much love to you Harald. Thank you so much for showing our beautiful Nepal.

I love this journey! Super inspiring! I'm exciting to continue to watch you climb and see how you feel at the end of the trip. Subscriber for life
This is amazing. The people look so friendly and welcoming, the food looks amazing, the air must be so clean. Your videos are starting to make me wanna go there at some point!
His Nepal episode is the best so far, feels like Iโm watching a Netflix documentary rather than just a normal travel vlog !
Better than Netflix
Agree, this is the best series he had done. Partly for me out of all the things he has done this is what I would love to do myself
Spent several months in Nepal in 1993 and 1995 travelling as a solo female. Your videos are bringing back such fond memories.
Tell us more, where exactly did you visit there? I didn't even know Nepal had enough spots to spend several months traveling there.
@@gabrielg9592 nepal have 77 district for now .
and each districts have fancy, natural and terrifying tourist spot .
you just need more time .
nepal wonder of nature .
travel back again solo covering central region , eastern and beautiful farwestern himalayas and western part of himalaysa too . you gonna enjoy it .
come back gabriel .
and this time dont give wrong direction to harald hahaha
Canโt wait for your next video,, man you gotta be a very brave dude to hike up those trails by yourself ! I love all the footage you get, you really put us there, except weโre not freezing. Be Safe and happy 2022๐๐
This was emotional to watch. As a European kid I went to these trips in India to the Himalaya. Didn't like Indian food yet, so I always asked for chicken chow mein (100% not chicken lol). I miss those times. Glad you had this same experience.
Watching this series definitely humbled me. These people are so giving and kind even though they donโt have much. I found my next travel destination. Thanks Harald. ๐
They have much more than you and me.
They are rich by heart, richer than we all who lives im the city with know no one of our neighbor hood ๐คฃ

Thank you , you are always welcome guest is god in our culture ๐๐ผ Happy new year
This guy is so friendly with everyone wherever he goes around the world and very enthusiastically he involves whomever he makes videos .Moreover, his narration about the place or people with whom he goes to make seems to be so kind and positive even in their absence that makes everyone great to hear.On the top, his gesture is always remained highly appreciable besides a generous man.
Let me tell you, it wasn't always like that. A few years ago he was a little selfish and also a bit disrespectful against developing countries. But I think he learned a lesson trough all his traveling and exploring. A very valuable lesson. That even in the roughest conditions you can have a happy peaceful life.

Love how you interact with the locals, so much affinity and humility ๐๐ฝ๐
This series is so far among the very best you have made. Meeting the locals and exploring the country is my favourite.
You should watch Baldrs episodes where he's with the tribe in Africa loved that series also, hope he returns one day!
@@RaGingNemesiis oh yes that series is one of my favorites Harald is just a good guy
What warm, hospitable, and kind Nepalese people are!! So excited every time a new episode shows up!! They remind me of the wonderful people of Sri Lanka Harald visited in his previous adventure ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐๐
Absolutely amazing! What a stunning experience
I envy you being in such a place, . Now this is what i call a great video! Awesome! keep em coming Harald.
I hiked 50 miles in the Khatmandu Valley a while back. The Nepalese people live a tough life, though somehow remain such gentle souls; truly a place everyone must experience. Nice series, man!
Maybe I'm wrong...but there certainly seems to be something about people who live in mountains and who know all their neighbors and life being inherently hard in such places...that that kind of people, no matter where in the world, tend to be very welcoming and incredibly charitable to those who pass through...it's pretty much that way in the USA in various parts of Appalachia as well and I have seen at least one or two reports of some researchers studying people who live in cold, mountainous areas that apparently found it to just be the case: people who live in cold, mountainous areas are just nicer and more gentle to others...almost out of necessity I imagine since you never feel the need of other humans quite like living in such areas. In cities, it's easy to just treat others as just another number...one of many who has no relation to you and who, if you wanted to, you would never have to see again even though you live within 1 square mile of each other.
@@wowomah6194 I have had this same observation. I guess the harder the elements push people, the closer they draw together. It is also just in generally cold places - not strictly mountainous areas; the northern plains of Canada would be a good example. What certainly helps is their distance from urbanised centres, where money and power have an influence. I also saw evidence of this humanity in Vietnam in rural areas. There are many factors but the differences between cold, mountainous areas and cities in the USA, for example, are stark.
9:30 The husband's prayer is the Sanskrit mantra "Om mani padme hum."
The mala are beads used for meditation and prayer.
@@wowomah6194 That's why it's easy to take advantage of them. That's why Europeans have given away their countries and futures.

The people in the foothills of the Himalayas are just amazing people. With the smiles on their faces and the kindness in their hearts. You can't do them justice by just filming them. About 16 years ago we only had dhal bhat and chai. You need to try crossing a mountain pass... It is an awesome experience (if you don't get lost). Watching your video I want to go back.
I was there 2003 18 yrs ago on my own trekking met the maoists and got stuck in the middle of a fight between the army and maoists. Dhal bhat and ginger tea. I changed my life because of these people ๐๐ผ

Perfect time to sit back and watch a baldr movie !

True
I don't know why, but that couple fill my heart with love. I can feel their kindness resonating through the screen. And it may sound ridiculous, but I found myself crying at 20:57 ... Reminds me of something I never even knew. Like an ancient feeling in my heart and soul that has been tapped after so so long.
Honestly was always a subscriber but never really watched your videos until this series. I love how to treat and interact with everyone you meet :)
Hi Harald, I've been watching you and Bald for many years. I am going throught hard times now and I am really happy you are uploading this series. It helps me keep my mind occupied and even put smile on my face. I want to thank you for sharing your adventures and your positive attitude. If you ever need help, you've got a friend in Czechia that owes you. Looking forward for more episodes. Please stay safe! :)
I also use to watch both of them but then ended up unsubscribing bald as he does it more to make money than anything but Harold is still as good as he was always....
@@tusharmohla5300 it is what it is.. I still enjoy Baldโs videos.. just that his trips in Eastern Europe and Russia isnโt that relatable..

My name is Ragini Gongo and this video was recommended to me. ๐
No way! Epic name ๐ Harald Approves! ๐
Cant help but get emotional watching you interact with these warm, wonderful people. This is how humanity should be, simple living, treating total strangers like family, brightening their day with smiles, conversation and good food.
What incredible people. Those winters and harsh circumstances of life will humble any soul. ๐
I saw the vlog first time but it catches me tightly enough. Your story telling, joking and speaking with different people even with animal are fantastic one ๐๐๐๐
Haraldo you are a legend. This series is absolutely incredible and the interaction with the people is perfection. Cannot wait for the next episode.
@Harald Baldr 'Dall bhatt" literally means lentils (dall) and rice (bhatt): same in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal.
So you can't have dall bhatt potato' without bhatt, and not expect rice like the video before!!
I love how they sit around and just relax... in the quiet mountain air. Genuine people. Beautiful mountainside. Then they feed you a real traditional meal.. whopping portion perfect food for the hike and a whopping shot of fire. That guest house was also nice.. looked like a tight build. Insulate your whole body! The blankets are perfect. Excellent work again! I could keep up if I were there for sure.
Every video is a quality production! Thank for allowing us to join you!

Wow. The green vines & blue purple/flowers above doorways are absolutely amazing, I love the wood, glass & shelf spaces lodge owners create. So much Hollywood 'advertising culture' steals in an unhealthy way from sustainable individuals like the Nepalese, consumers will obsess over a commercial enterprise like 'lord of the rings' while you move your flesh & blood in your own arrow of time & space to connect with real individuals also on a living creative journey that becomes spectral wby including technology & observers. You encounter others who you know are like you & also on a journey that includes amazing things like nature, sustainability, communication social, economic & food cultures in a holistic trajectory. Nepal is so great for the real cyber journeyman like you. I'm glad you got your Gongo. It is also so thoughtful that you work tirelessly to bring us with you, completing each production while you are en route so that we also travel with you. I hiked & sprinted in the snow & our local preserves & found a huge crystal fossil & ran errands 13.5 miles yesterday. There is some relationship here you cultivate between your athlete viewers to your activities wherever you are. You dont wait a month to edit & post each video (you could) you are self trained at content creation & production & you mentally make the effort to unite all these things, even as time passes this is how you understand the imperative of information as something universally mechanistic, influential & immediate & creative & not at an imaginary distance in some kind of inaccessible conceptual delay, again what advertisers do.
What a beautiful comment!โค๐๐๐ฅบ
Sometimes I come across comments complaining that the videos are too long. Damn, Harald's doing such a great job, I don't mind if the video is two hours long or more. Thank you Harald for this wonderful series and hopefully there will be many more episodes coming from you of this beautiful country. Te mando un abrazo - - Jeg sender deg en klem ๐๐๐ Stay safe & healthy! Chao! Sees senere! Hilsen fra Las Palmas ๐๐

If people have attention deficit there's always tik tok... Thanks for the great long form content Harald I look forward to it and am checking in every day for the new upload. ๐ธ
Yes I love his long videos
I can watch even if it is 24hr long ๐ณ๐ต๐ณ๐ต๐ณ๐ต
Right?! I donโt want it to end.
Thank you for the videos my friend. Between the pandemic and a failed back surgery I've had a rough year. Your videos have been an outlet for me. They're very relaxing and help with my anxiety. It's nice to see all the people, their different cultures and beautiful countries. You are living my dream my friend. Bless you
Just now came across this channel but definitely going to subscribe. Very interesting and informative and what a beautiful place and what wonderful people. I look forward to seeing more of your journeys. Thank you for sharing this.
Kiddo, these views of the land and your hike goes way beyond amazing. I am 77 and I have traveled about the world on my own, as it is easier to meet people. I wish more people would have the courage to venture out and meet the World face to face with others who are sharing this life. I lived in the U.S. 68 years and had been all over, but never South America. Then one day, I just packed it up and moved to South America, where I have lived, and love, for ten years. I spoke very little Spanish and demanded to live in an all Spanish neighborhood on the side of a volcano. Keep the videos coming!
Nicaragua?
Bro you donโt have an idea how much I love your videos , greetings from Costa Rica ๐จ๐ท
We love you Harold!๐ช๐ฝ Man you are a breath of fresh air to watch. Thank you for your videos! Remember we support you and love you man. Safe travels and keep giving us these videos ๐๐ฝ

I am loving this series man. All these people youโre meeting are simply fantastic.
We thank you for uploading such real Nepal life We were born in Nepal n never been to such places,wow amazing ๐คฉ.Please look after urself n donot drink alcohol early in the morning no good idea,god bless you n all the good people out there.Can I ask one question why u r holding handmade socks everytime?
I am from Himachal and Nepal remind me of lahaul Spiti. Nepal is so beautiful and peaceful and Nepali people hospitality is so good.
Harald, you're great when you interact with the people there. I just cannot stop myself from repeating the videos again and again. You have to visit Nepal and Kathmandu again and again and make your vlogs.
Your interaction with the people... Just awesome sir... Each video I watched makes me eager to watch the next one...
I'm just amazed. These people barely had any customers and business for two years, and still they are not pushing anyone into buying their food/staying at their lodge. They are still so friendly when Harald turns down their offers. That one woman even gave the card of the other lodge Harald wanted to go to. Amazing people up there!
13:20 She was referring to the drink called "Chyang/Chhang". It is another Nepali alcohol drink. It is not quite strong as "Raksi", but it's equally popular. You should try it out some time Heraldo!
Chyang is basically a rice beer
@@prasunjungthapa8535 yup.. But we use Maize and Millet to as well.
Absolutely love this series. The nature is just magnificent. Can't wait to see more of it. How I long for that solitude and those rugged hikes away from civilization. Simple, good hearted people, gentle animals and the mighty mountains. Sigh...Enjoy it Harald, and please keep sharing.
