  • So many people told me to visit the East of Nepal s I decided to look into it. When I saw pictures of Ilam I was convinced to visit. Not easy to get to from Kathmandu but the journey was definitely worth it!
    In this video I explore Summit hotel in Ilam and then go off for a local food hunt. Also tried Tongba which is a local drink.
    Enjoy watching!
    0:00 Intro
    0:27 Summit Hotel
    21:51 Ilam streets
    26:20 150 Rs Sekuwa
    35:28 Lollipop and Chhurpi
    39:00 Tongba drink
    1:05:15 Ilam Tea garden with Kabi
    1:20:19 Hanging out with police
    1:26:48 Outro
    ___________________________________________________
    With my CZcams videos I aim to show a different perspective than what most travel vloggers would do by interacting with people and really getting the local insights of the places I visit. No matter their social background I treat everyone equal. Sometimes this results in awkard conversations but I love it!
    **Support my channel and the people I meet**
    All donations will go back to the communities during my travels, this can be through staying or eating at small businesses or even donating this money right back through one of my donations projects.

    You seem to be fine with whatever you get, but in Nepal you should ask. e.g. if the slippers are not fitting, ask for the bigger ones. If room is not clean, ask them to clean. If you need a table in your room, ask for a table. If you ask politely, most of the time, they will provide you. In Nepal, you don't get 100% service all at once. But people also don't mind if you ask for some help or service.

      @@rajbanshiboys1664 have you watched this vlog from the beginning, tim had already explained that remote hotel, however it's just a language when you encounter with new people from different ethnicity it is very hard to communicate so don't be judgemental, try to appreciate. Even in remote place they tried and he did actually understood.

    Churpee ( Hardened Cheese) is made from Yak's Milk, which takes around 15-20 minutes to Soften. Normally good during Cold weather which makes your body warm.
    Tongba is a traditional homemade soft alcoholic drink from Fermented Millet, which we normally drink in a Bamboo vessel added with hot water. Enjoy Bro 👌👍
