Ramroshaw! I spent two winter and spring in Nepal in 80 and 81. I was just a young girl not even twenty. I travelled alone and always felt safe and respected! The most beautiful people I have ever met. I learned so much about human kindness from my "Didis" and "Boenies!" Thank you so much for posting this wonderful video and bringing the memories back!
oh tq for your visit last time in my nation but i wish if u can then once again we would like to welcome you to Nepal and get the warm hospitality of Nepal .......sincerly the citizen of Nepal ☺😊
I was there in 1974. I have traveled in three different continents and Nepal is the most beautiful country of them all. Also met great people there, including Tibetans who deserve the utmost respect. Love, from Quebec Canada.
LIVING DOCUMENTS HOW BUDHIST LAND NOW COME UNDER BRAHAMAN LAND.4%BRAHAMINS NOW IN POWER UPON 80%ETHNIC BUDHISTS.1000 YEARS PAST IT HAPPENED IN INDIA.NOW U SEE INDIA IS UNDER RSS HINDU BRAHMINS GOVT
Nepal and the Nepalese had no access to electronic gadgets until 20 years ago. That's why any video of Nepal taken before the 90s are very precious for us.
Prasiddha Singh Hamal hahahahaha 😂 we have no independence day brotha unlike india.... Haha we were always dependent we did not need any other countries to develop us. How do you think india progressed.. Hsha cause britian ruled over there hahahahahahahahahahhaha
Bikram Bista Progress is subjective. Nepal should preserve it's natural beauty and pristine nature because clean water and air will become the new gold in years to come.
Thanks for the documentary.I was there for the first time in 1994 .There was a little trafic. after tht year I visit Nerpal 23times .Every year I saw the changes.I was there during the earthquak. I did trekkings ,4 times around Annapurna , 2 times Langtang,second time 4 days before the earthquack.I did the Gosainkunda lakes and this year the Manaslu trekking.I,am now 72 years and still going strong. Next year with my two sons an other trekking. Thanks again for the documentary
I had the chance to call Kathmandu (Sanepa neighbourhood) my home for 4 years (2010-2014) when I was a teen (age 12 to 16, my formative years). My parents got offered a once in a lifetime job opportunity. The next thing I knew, we were moving from Belgium to this distant mystical land I knew nothing about. I remember our 1st day after landing in KTM, it was so overwhelming, the sounds, the hectic traffic, the monkeys swinging above our heads from cable to cable, the spices in the air, the vibrant colors. It was all so much to process (my mother had a brief fainting episode in the taxi, she couldn't believe her eyes). I remember her words "What have we gotten ourselves into..." Little did we know the following 4 years would be the most beautiful our family has ever lived. Thank you Nepal. I will be forever grateful. I cry as I think back of our life back then, I miss it so much. The beauty and kindness of the Nepalese people. So kind, so warm, so welcoming. Heavenly land.
I was in Kathmandu in early 1977. It was a magical place in those days . Life was simple and the people were beautiful . I stayed at a little hotel not far from Freaky Street called the Blue Moon Hotel . Smoked a lot of hash , A dollar for a tola

'How can I feel nostalgia for a world I never knew' - The Motorcycle diaries. Although I'm a 90s generation lad from Nepal, I miss all the faces of the lost generation and makes me want to go back in that time. I feel that the one who took this video is very lucky. he's like an old turtle that had lived history🙂
I have no idea how to thank you I am totally speechless for your effort Only tears are gift for you through the expression of love I just feel like I am in 1978. How beautiful my nepal was
i was there in 1977 and mirrored my experiences. back then riding a bike around was safe and carefree. was there in feb.2020 and sad with all the traffic, noise, pollution. people and sights were still great!. thanks for the memories....
I also made this: HISTORY of Nepal my diary into the Nepal Himalaya 1978 full documentary In the late 70s and early 80s, I've made several trips through the Nepalese Himalaya 1978 Pokhara to Muktinath 1979 Around Annapurna 1980 Pokhara to Muktinath 1981 Langthan 1984 Jiri to Everest 1986 Jiri to Gokyo, this is my video diary. made with an 8 mm camera. By Ed van der Kooy
It takes 10 years to recommend me this video by CZcams. Goddd!!! I’m in literal tears seeing historical Kathmandu. Since I am born in late 90’s I always imagine how does Kathmandu look like back in time. It warms my heart all the people loving Nepal. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video.
This was so lovely. I recognize the Annapurna circuit! I was just there trekking in 2018. Much of it looks exactly the same. Nepal is a country that is near and dear to my heart.
Hey All the Nepalese people who have seen this I would like you to suggest to share those videos of our ancient time on the social media. It's a request from me.
This video is about is about my treks in the mountains of Nepal HISTORY of Nepal my diary into the Nepal Himalaya 1978 full documentary HISTORY of Nepal my diary into the Nepal Himalaya 1978
Ed van der Kooy .... i can feel it .. what it meant to be in mustang.. those days are the golden era of mustang ... wow ... i wish i have original unedited videos
I am always watching Nepal and Indian videos...and yes...i dont understand why after 6 years, when there is that stupid "living on a dollar" video always in my recommendation...
I’ve been travelling and working mostly In the KTM valley and Terai, plus through the unique neighboring kingdom of Bhutan as well, for about six months in 1991-92, as we were preparing, then shooting Bernardo Bertolucci’s movie, ‘’Little Buddha’’. Our guides were BB himself & writer Rudy Wurlitzer, who’d both been there for the first time, repectively, two and three decades earlier, and were already telling us how much the western tourist industry had disfigured that most precious part of the world in the meantime. No doubt the so-called ‘Progress’ - and its disastrous consumerist ‘way of life’ - have kept ravaging more and more the whole region I knew in the early ‘90s… Therefore, the present 8mm footage filmed half a century ago by Ed van der Kooy - the same years Pasolini too shot several episodes of his own ‘Arabian Nights’ in Bhaktapur - can only make me cry for the sense of loss that comes out of it - a portray of humankind as it had been naturally evolving for millenia prior to the global overaceleration of history and the tyrannical TECH revolution. A farewell to our mutual roots. 🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏
I'm a 90's born and raised girl in Kathmandu. During childhood, my grandparents always used to share the old beautiful stories about Kathmandu to me and my cousins and how the place has changed in a decade. After watching this video, I truly pictured and felt da stories that my grandparents shared us. Thank you so much for upload.
ED VAN DER KOOY / extremely rare and precious video of these times .... i am watching for the first time in September 2021 and your video has bought back to me so many good memories of Katmandu / I was their in 1977 /thank you and the people of Nepal/CHEERS from Australia......
Watching this video right after opening my eyes in the morning. Hope this day will go well. What a lovely feeling. Recommended after 7 years Proud to be a Nepali
Xye Leyx yes so?? tyo era ma janmeko bhaye i would've adjusted my lifestyle without electricity or education or pitched roads. Yo era ma janmeko chu so phone haat ma boku ki naboku tf are you tell me..?? Mind yo business boy
I am from Nepal currently living in the USA. I spent one month there with my family after seven years. I enjoyed every moment. I would highly recommend you to visit Nepal. It is a beautiful place. All places are beautiful but mustang is my favorite. I really wanna go back again pretty soon.
As Linda Brand put it. If you want to experience human kindness, gentle people who would share what little they have - you will experience it in places like Nepal. I myself traveled to India in the 70's via train, sitting next to a migrant family a young couple with two small childern who work as farm labour. When the train came to a stop at a station the father bought five oranges, offered me one. I was very touched by the generosity. Never forgot it.
A million heartfelt thanks for this video...i was in Muktinath in 1976-7..started from Pokhara..I was living in a most beautiful fantasy journey all the way to Muktinath..took double time that usually...I will never forget that mysterious place.....Do you have anymore videos like this one ?
Namaste Ed, I made it to Kathmandu in December of 1974 and did the Helambhu trek, staying in Nepali homes as there were no tea houses back then. I've just returned home from my 13th trip to Nepal, which includes a year of volunteer teaching at a school for Tibetan refugee children. Nepal made its way into my heart in 1974 & 75 and its place in my heart continues to grow. Many thanks for your fantastic film, Ed. Travel well, Michael
Thank you so much to édit this images....I was in Népal in 1984, 25 yrs old ( + 5 month in India, on the road... 🐾 ) and no camera. So many souvenirs come back to my mind! I recognise places in Kathmandu, especially in the central place with all the little temples... 🙏 Thanks again / it feels wonderful 😊 ( fench girl )

First of all a Great salute to you Mr Kooy. Its the same year of my birth. Blessed to watch it only becouse of you. Its a real treasure for all of the nepalease around the Globe. Thanks again for made it possible Ed.🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
hey Mick , no it was not we realy did not know , it was a great adventure and it stole my hearth for ever ,, everybody in kathmandu said we where crazy to go into the mountains ,, we did and it change my life,, greetings ed
Ed van der Kooy you visited nepal nearly 20 years before i was born i really thank you for visiting us hope you are safe and well . Blessing from nepali!! Thank you for your video. This video mean alot cause i believe there was nt camera with nepali people at that time keep memories but you kept it alive !!
I am currently watching from US on July 18, 2019. I felt great about my country Nepal :) It has developed so much. Please pray for Nepal, may God bless this country with peace and joy. Thank you for the video :)
@@arcstyl3 remember that literacy rate was 54 percent and global Hunger index score was 36 in 2001 (the former was 10 yrs behind India but the latter was a better score than India)
We are quiet ashamed to see where we are since... magestic view and heart warming people its something u wont see often if u visit nepal 2020 ...just made my day thankyou so much for uploading sir..
i am the millennial generation of nepalis and even i don't recognize Nepal this way , comparing it back then it is so sad and devastating to see such a beautiful country become what it is today. thank you sir for this beautiful memory of the past
My parents are from Nepal after my father joined Indian military we permanently shifted her my mother first set her foot in India at the age of 24 now she's 67 and my father is 77 my mother always like always recall Nepal her reminiscence about Nepal is so deep and unconditional that's why I love Nepal too though I born and brought up in India I always have a deep love for Nepal and this documentary is so touching and emotional thank you for this beautiful memories🙏🙏🙏jai Nepal 🙏
I can only imagine how difficult and comber some it might have had been back in those days to carry a huge camera along with your heavy trekking bags, and yet you managed to capture your experience flawlessly. Life in Nepal has changed tremendously between these past few years, and what you have given us through this platform is a chance to look back and appreciate our history. Thank you!
Every Day passing reflects what our country was like back then. Lets get it, The upcoming days have not passed yet. Demanding common belief that is a change! Great Documentary❤
Thank you this documentary. I love Nepal. My girlfriend (now my wife) invited me to visit Nepal in 1989. I friend of ours told us, before travelling there, that once you visit Nepal you visit again. Took a while but visited again in 2016. It felt like returning home. I would love to visit again. It does have its magic.
Ed Van, You are a legend. Many thanks for bringing such a wonderful and memorable picture of Old Nepal. I admire how you have preserved these pictures taken on 70's. Am Nepalese and to get an opportunity to see this documentary is amazing experience. I made a trip to Muktinath in 1990 and I was 22 yrs age at the time. Your trip to Muktinath is on another level. So remote...so natural and so heartwarming. 🙏🙏🙏
Wow, I so wish I could have seen it then. Went the first time in 2007 and it was already changing into a modern city. We met our Nepali family on that trip, and we've been going back once or twice a year to visit ever since. Even in the 12 years that we have been visiting this amazing place, the changes have been exponential. Thank you for a glimpse of what we will never get to see.
Nepal 🇳🇵 🇳🇵..... I am glad to see this documentary of Nepal .. we are Nepali and we love our country Nepal.thank you for upload this video.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I dont think they will feel, how we felt watching this video. Look at Bagmati. If we dont create an effective sewer system, the river will stay like that forever.
I am in Europe atm and watching this makes my heart filled with pride and joy I thank you for documenting your experiences and sharing with us. It is a true representation of us Nepalese,simple kind yet full of resilience. As I am so far away from my home this video got me closer to my roots. Aaama ra Janmathalo swargabhanda pyaaro
I am now 21 years old. I am very happy to see the documentary of (NEPAL) 43 years ago . Thank you so much for such a great and Beautiful documentary🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Lots of Love from NEPAL❤️❤️❤️❤️
My dad was 14 when this video was taken. it's damn too old and important to remind ourselves that time flies and things change. Never hold back your choices cause it ain't coming back. Never. -29th Nov 2019.
Beautiful film, thank you for posting! Its incredible to see how its changed. Ive visited Nepal 8 times, the first in 1990 the last in 2007 and the changes are huge. It looks so innocent back then! Manang and Mucktinath look so unspoilt and there are no touristy shops etc! I have a National Geographic from the 60s which has an article on Leh. I went there in 1996 and again the differences were huge! Thanks again.
Looking back the place I was born from Toronto. Life looks so vivid, colourful & mysterious. I can’t dare to face the life my parents lived. Thanks for posting such a rare video. 🙏
I was born in 1977 in Kathmandu. I still remember how peaceful and clean tge nature and the people were in Nepal back the. Civilization brought everything into ruin. Look at the state of Nepal now. Kathmandu is a place where sewer runs with the drinking water. People are basically eating human feces in Kathmandu. I want those 70s and 80s back.

Beautiful documentary of Nepal I missed those old Nepal now totally changed I loved hippies days those days I met my husband Dan walker Edwards wonderful atmosphere so many hippies all around the world came to Nepal 🇳🇵enjoying relaxing and living peacefully freely Thank you for your treasure precious documentary of Nepal by the way he buys and sells the books of Nepal called yak and yeti books if you interested thanks again
Thank you to ED van der Kooy . I am Nepali and I was 18 years old at this time. I also never had seen Kathmaandu the capital of Nepal. In January 1978 first I had seen my capital . upon seeing your documentary I respect you which made me to remember those days and more. Thank you
I was wondering how they interact with each other at that time but still they look pretty close and friendly with each other. It was good to see our old nepal thanks for uploading.

I’ve been travelling and working mostly In the KTM valley and Terai, plus through the unique neighboring kingdom of Bhutan as well, for about six months in 1991-92, as we were preparing, then shooting Bernardo Bertolucci’s movie, ‘’Little Buddha’’. Our guides were BB himself & writer Rudy Wurlitzer, who’d both been there for the first time, repectively, two and three decades earlier, and were already telling us how much the western tourist industry had disfigured that most precious part of the world in the meantime.

hi. can you please tell me the song in the beginning 1st minute (.45), if you know. Thanks
I am from Nepal currently living in the USA. I spent one month there with my family after seven years. I enjoyed every moment. I would highly recommend you to visit Nepal. It is a beautiful place. All places are beautiful but mustang is my favorite. I really wanna go back again pretty soon.
As Linda Brand put it. If you want to experience human kindness, gentle people who would share what little they have - you will experience it in places like Nepal. I myself traveled to India in the 70's via train, sitting next to a migrant family a young couple with two small childern who work as farm labour. When the train came to a stop at a station the father bought five oranges, offered me one. I was very touched by the generosity. Never forgot it.
Tarzan Ape now we are in the way Western.........we can't save our culture or we r influenced by western
I wass also in Katmandú in these early years, dicember 1976. Nice to see Freak street and Durba square. Godd memories
Sir, was gaja free in nepal that time?
@@kajikaji7224 yeah it was therfore a lot of hippies used to come here
Old Kathmandu. Wonderful and safe place in the world 🌎. Where Tourist/guests are always respected.
I loved you because I loved my country npl🇳🇵 old history captured this video Miss you my hometown.still 🇯🇵japan
A million heartfelt thanks for this video...i was in Muktinath in 1976-7..started from Pokhara..I was living in a most beautiful fantasy journey all the way to Muktinath..took double time that usually...I will never forget that mysterious place.....Do you have anymore videos like this one ?
Wow
After 10 years CZcams finally decided to recommend me this masterpiece ❤
Namaste Ed, I made it to Kathmandu in December of 1974 and did the Helambhu trek, staying in Nepali homes as there were no tea houses back then. I've just returned home from my 13th trip to Nepal, which includes a year of volunteer teaching at a school for Tibetan refugee children. Nepal made its way into my heart in 1974 & 75 and its place in my heart continues to grow. Many thanks for your fantastic film, Ed. Travel well, Michael
Hope you will visit again
awwww... the years i visited Nepal too..❤❤❤
Thank you so much to édit this images....I was in Népal in 1984, 25 yrs old ( + 5 month in India, on the road... 🐾 ) and no camera.
So many souvenirs come back to my mind! I recognise places in Kathmandu, especially in the central place with all the little temples... 🙏 Thanks again / it feels wonderful 😊 ( fench girl )
Felt so good while watching this (kinda old calm vibes)
Thanks to you sir for capturing those moments
Nepal was good at the time of kings ...No pollution .Weed everywhere. peace.
tauko king...
Haha ya wee😂
At that time our country was ruled by king not like corrupt politicians and government in Present day
Thank the communists who "fought against the corrupt elite" :D
@@saramshagorkhali101 It is sarcasm, dont worry.
Yup Nepal lost an important part of it when we lost our king.
yea. And Nepal was HINDU Country too

@@arcstyl3 remember that literacy rate was 54 percent and global Hunger index score was 36 in 2001 (the former was 10 yrs behind India but the latter was a better score than India)
That background music❤️ at beginning
Comparing this with what is now.. it’s soo completely different
We are quiet ashamed to see where we are since... magestic view and heart warming people its something u wont see often if u visit nepal 2020 ...just made my day thankyou so much for uploading sir..
i am the millennial generation of nepalis and even i don't recognize Nepal this way , comparing it back then it is so sad and devastating to see such a beautiful country become what it is today. thank you sir for this beautiful memory of the past
Seeing all those positive comments about my country feels so good and I'm proud to be a Gorkhali! 😊🙏
Thank you so much for this video!❤
Nowadays we nelalese are not gorkhali..we r facebook user,inta user,tiktok user and so on
i am proud to be nepali boi
Watching first time this video on December of 2020 .... proud of being Nepalese 🙏
My parents are from Nepal after my father joined Indian military we permanently shifted her my mother first set her foot in India at the age of 24 now she's 67 and my father is 77 my mother always like always recall Nepal her reminiscence about Nepal is so deep and unconditional that's why I love Nepal too though I born and brought up in India I always have a deep love for Nepal and this documentary is so touching and emotional thank you for this beautiful memories🙏🙏🙏jai Nepal 🙏
I can only imagine how difficult and comber some it might have had been back in those days to carry a huge camera along with your heavy trekking bags, and yet you managed to capture your experience flawlessly. Life in Nepal has changed tremendously between these past few years, and what you have given us through this platform is a chance to look back and appreciate our history. Thank you!
I cannot thank you enough for your love and support to a beauty and cultures of Nepal.
Every Day passing reflects what our country was like back then. Lets get it, The upcoming days have not passed yet. Demanding common belief that is a change!
Great Documentary❤
Thank you this documentary. I love Nepal. My girlfriend (now my wife) invited me to visit Nepal in 1989. I friend of ours told us, before travelling there, that once you visit Nepal you visit again. Took a while but visited again in 2016. It felt like returning home. I would love to visit again. It does have its magic.
Oh my god i was not even born😔😔... it literally bought tears in my eye😔Lots of love from my Country Nepal 🇳🇵
9:20 that's the best version of Kusume Rumal i've ever heard
I never hesitate to say that Nepal is a most beautiful as well as varied country in the world.
Ed Van,
You are a legend. Many thanks for bringing such a wonderful and memorable picture of Old Nepal. I admire how you have preserved these pictures taken on 70's. Am Nepalese and to get an opportunity to see this documentary is amazing experience. I made a trip to Muktinath in 1990 and I was 22 yrs age at the time. Your trip to Muktinath is on another level. So remote...so natural and so heartwarming. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you
I got here accidentally and i wish i had the time machine. Thank you so much Ed van der Kooy for this absolutely beautiful documentary.
Wow, I so wish I could have seen it then. Went the first time in 2007 and it was already changing into a modern city. We met our Nepali family on that trip, and we've been going back once or twice a year to visit ever since. Even in the 12 years that we have been visiting this amazing place, the changes have been exponential. Thank you for a glimpse of what we will never get to see.
Who is watching this video on 2023.
Love 💞 from Bangladesh 🇧🇩.

Nepal 🇳🇵 🇳🇵..... I am glad to see this documentary of Nepal .. we are Nepali and we love our country Nepal.thank you for upload this video.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I feel in 2059 ,future generations will feel the same way about us,the way we feel about those old times right now!!😊😊
True
not actually because we are changed now
hopefully - if only we manage to preserve it for them too
I dont think they will feel, how we felt watching this video. Look at Bagmati. If we dont create an effective sewer system, the river will stay like that forever.
Me mero sathi. My dad ma 8 and mom 4
Does anyone thinks where are these people.. and what are they doing right now? If they are even alive....thx for this video
there is no any moment, i didn't thought about that. haha i was thinking all the time
There are so many people alive from that era. Few of them passed but few of them are still here.
My feeling is also same with u ...
When I was watching it there were same questions in my mind...
Yes I do
It was a great pleasure to see my country Nepal, thank you sir, my country Nepal I am proud to be Nepali.
This is so precious, thank you so much for sharing. I showed this to my mum and it took her back
I felt like i m watching a nepali movie of 80' s....
80's haina 90's

As I am so far away from my home this video got me closer to my roots.
Aaama ra Janmathalo swargabhanda pyaaro

I wish we could go back
Now Nepal is just a mess made by corrupt Politicians :(
Yah i am nepali but i hate politician of nepal the most
I wanna go back, just to swim in the Bagmati in Pashupati. Pollution has really made our capital so dull.
India pani hala bro India le ra hamro biekeko poltics le ho
Looking my country back at 78 is something special 👌 thanks for the upload
I am now 21 years old. I am very happy to see the documentary of (NEPAL) 43 years ago . Thank you so much for such a great and Beautiful documentary🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Lots of Love from NEPAL❤️❤️❤️❤️
My dad was 14 when this video was taken. it's damn too old and important to remind ourselves that time flies and things change. Never hold back your choices cause it ain't coming back. Never.

Beautiful film, thank you for posting! Its incredible to see how its changed. Ive visited Nepal 8 times, the first in 1990 the last in 2007 and the changes are huge. It looks so innocent back then! Manang and Mucktinath look so unspoilt and there are no touristy shops etc! I have a National Geographic from the 60s which has an article on Leh. I went there in 1996 and again the differences were huge! Thanks again.
Same dates!life changer,eh
Again u r warmly welcomed for Visit Nepal 2020
Thanks for uploading these video..
Jaya Nepal 🇳🇵
Jaya chandra 🌙 surya ☀️
Looking back the place I was born from Toronto. Life looks so vivid, colourful & mysterious. I can’t dare to face the life my parents lived.
Thanks for posting such a rare video. 🙏
I was born in 1977 in Kathmandu. I still remember how peaceful and clean tge nature and the people were in Nepal back the. Civilization brought everything into ruin. Look at the state of Nepal now. Kathmandu is a place where sewer runs with the drinking water. People are basically eating human feces in Kathmandu. I want those 70s and 80s back.

U r discouraging tourism by posting such comment.
Sujan Adhikari but fact is fact bro 😕😕
nabin gonzales you said truth thank you
यो धेरैले हेर्छन्, कमसेकम नेपाल अाउनु अगाडि एक चोटी, सत्य हो भनेर उदाङ्गिनु कतिको बुद्ध मानि हो , 🏠 को समस्या परिवारमा बहस गर्ने हो, लोक हसाउनु कत्तिको उचित हो , रिस उठ्यो अब घरमै अागोलगाएर खरानि बेच्ने , मेरो बुझाई सामाजिक सञ्जालमा अाफ्नाे परिवार र देशको बारेमा विदेशी भाषा मा गलत लेख्नु बोल्नु ,१६ अामा गलत हो , हाम्रो स्रोत पर्यटन हो ।देश विकासको मेरुदण्ड मा धक्का पुक्छ यस्ता कदमले ।
i wish i was born in this era :) jai nepal
Same here.
Beautiful documentary of Nepal I missed those old Nepal now totally changed I loved hippies days those days I met my husband Dan walker Edwards wonderful atmosphere so many hippies all around the world came to Nepal 🇳🇵enjoying relaxing and living peacefully freely Thank you for your treasure precious documentary of Nepal by the way he buys and sells the books of Nepal called yak and yeti books if you interested thanks again
Thank you to ED van der Kooy . I am Nepali and I was 18 years old at this time. I also never had seen Kathmaandu the capital of Nepal. In January 1978 first I had seen my capital . upon seeing your documentary I respect you which made me to remember those days and more. Thank you
This is the best youtube recommendation so far! The relaxing sounds and the 80s vibes contrasts so well.
Wow thank you so much for the historical video. Nepal was so beautiful and peaceful at that time.
Year 2020 and still feels blessed watching my hometown.
Jai my Nepal,
Jai my People’s,
Jai Gurkhas. Long live my country !! ❤️
I was wondering how they interact with each other at that time but still they look pretty close and friendly with each other. It was good to see our old nepal thanks for uploading.
