Nepal Changed Me Forever🇳🇵 (Living Goddess, Cremations & Hidden Food Culture)

In this video, I explore one of the most spiritual and unique cities on earth where two religions collaborate, ancient traditions thrive, and death is celebrated openly: Kathmandu, Nepal. From meeting the living goddess (Kumari) to witnessing Hindu cremations by the river at Pashupatinath Temple, to discovering the best momos in the city and going on an incredible Newari food tour with a local guide, this is a raw and honest look at what makes Kathmandu so different. I also explore the bustling bazaars for pashmina scarves and khukris, visit the iconic Monkey Temple (Swayambhunath) with its breathtaking views over the valley, and try the famous yak cheese pizza that Nepal is known for. This isn’t your typical travel vlog. It’s a journey into Nepal’s heart, where spirituality, culture, and life itself feel more alive than anywhere else I’ve been. The Newari food tour was genuinely one of the best experiences, trying everything from samay baji to mad honey to vegetarian momos with a local who showed me the real Kathmandu.
