Nepal through film pics ep 8 "The end"
If I have to find one "cons" of this trip, besides being super tired once we got bacķ, it is not being able to travel with Davide, our historic travel-mate, which perfectly completes the trio.
However, due to this unforseen circumstance, we got the chance to meet Dani. Amazing guy amd perfect fit in the group. I am sure he will be part of the next expedition (.dmr leone ti aspettiamo Pakistan 2k26 mancano solo 8 mesi).
1)In the streets of Bakthapur. Unfortunately, Davide couldnt find his flip flops at home, so he had to borrow the one of his aunt Luisa. Better than nothing.
2/3) pretending to visit the old city of Bakhtapur by ourselves after having refused 10 guides. Davide also cried when he heard the price of the ticket.
4/5/6) Some shots of Kathmandu and the surroundings.
7/8) making new friends while eating a surprisingly good ice cream.
9/10/11) Intense negotiations with our friend mubarak
, I actually might do a special episode about that.
12/13) last breakfast and lunch. Please take a moment to admire our faces.
14) ready to go with one extra bag full of souvenirs. This colour is a special nepalese release, we do not support fake products and no copyrights were infringed.
15) Last dinner in Chengdou, China, during a long layover.
16) real last dinner.
17) Back to Brussels and to work. Coudnt do anything for 2 weeks.
Incredible experience. I more and more believe that good trips are about the people you good with rather than the place itself. We always try to enjoy the culture and understand where we are, trying to melt with the local population, always remembering our privilege. We are born in the lucky part of the world. Or the guilty one.
Lets avoid this commodification of tourism. Let’s avoid turning travel into a numbers game — a frantic race to collect countries, stamp passports, and post photos without truly engaging with the places we visit. Tourism shouldn’t be about fast consumption, but about slowing down, listening, and allowing a destination to leave a mark deeper than a checkmark on a list.
Thanks. Now back to India in 2 weeks, Ladakh is coming.
And we will start to organize Pakistan...
