Nepal | Outdoor Stories With John Faris

Join John as he explores Nepal, a captivating country nestled between India and China in the heart of the Himalayas. After a short flight offering stunning views of Mount Everest, the adventure begins with a rickshaw ride through the chaotic streets of Kathmandu—a far cry from the elephant rides tourists enjoyed years ago. Watch craftspeople make clothes right on the sidewalk, families pile onto motorbikes, and a determined monkey raid the airport garbage despite a cleaning lady's best efforts with her broom. Stay at the beautiful Dwarika's Hotel and meet a local guide who introduces his wonderful family. Discover Nepal's fascinating mix of religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, and Tantrism—through countless prayer wheels, colorful flags, and ancient shrines decorated with painted eyes said to represent compassion and wisdom. Witness a family preparing their mother's cremation, complete with seaweed to make the fire burn hotter. Visit a resilient family who rebuilt their three-story home after the devastating earthquake that killed 9,000 people and destroyed 600,000 buildings. Share a delicious home-cooked meal on the floor and learn to make traditional pasta with these incredibly welcoming hosts. The real highlight? A helicopter flight to Mount Everest that includes an unexpected stop where locals actually siphon fuel out to lighten the chopper for the high-altitude climb. Land at the base of Everest, then enjoy a custom-cooked breakfast at Hotel Everest at 12,000 feet in warm sunshine. The views are absolutely mind-boggling.
