NEPAL: How People Live on the Roof of the World | Travel Documentary

Nepal is the steepest country on Earth. In less than 200 kilometres it climbs from tropical jungle to the summit of Everest, and thirty million people have built a way of life on every level of it. In this documentary we travel through the Kathmandu Valley and its living goddess, walk with the porters who carry entire villages on their backs, land on the world's most dangerous runway at Lukla, enter the forbidden kingdom of Upper Mustang, meet the honey hunters of the hills, and drop into the jungles of Chitwan, where rhinos and tigers have made a comeback. 🔔 Subscribe to TripVerse and turn on notifications: a new journey to the hidden corners of our planet every week. #Nepal #Himalayas #TravelDocumentary #LifeInNepal CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro: Where the Ocean Met the Sky 2:42 A Country Built on a Collision 6:26 Kathmandu: The Valley of Living Gods 13:48 The Roads That Were Never Built 20:01 Life in the Shadow of Everest 26:40 The Forbidden Kingdom of Mustang 33:19 The Hill Villages and the Honey Hunters 38:54 Pokhara: The Lake Beneath the Fishtail 42:33 The Lowlands: A Jungle of Rhinos and Tigers 47:19 Where the Buddha Was Born 52:24 The People Who Leave 55:01 The Mountains Are Changing 57:58 The Roof of the World 👇 Tell us in the comments where you are watching from, and which place in Nepal you would visit first. 🌍 Explore.
