exploring this beautiful nature and really fun people thank you guys for joining thank you kadala it's possible to jump from the bridge no no I think it's not deep enough hello nice it's a little cute suspension bridge which takes you to Luxurious hotel right yes it's on the left side what's the name of it Amun amuna how how expensive is this place I don't know the the charges is this the most expensive place in bive yes oh wow one of the most expensive why why do you think they are the most expensive because of the service service also like all the five star service are quite same but this uh Amun name has in other countries also it's in worldwide ah it's a more famous all right very interesting oh thank you for the spin that was very cute on this side is another festar hotel the name is pimoko okay newly opened last year oh nice before it was a tou Branch now they have changed the name pemo so that hotel we'll see from the river very big hotel on yes nice beautiful so they took like 10 years also I think and so more more and more hotels are getting built up in this areas yes lot of in this area yeah and more tourism obviously yeah I think we has a really great future for for tourism and cultural trip and a little bit Adventure too getting splashed by the water purposefully all we have to do in purpose yeah no it's it's fun no I mean I think in general bhan is amazing it's one of the wow countries I have ever been it's very unique like starting from the airport airport itself is like so unique like I have never seen such an airport support in my life it's so beautiful and so artistic and uh even the passport control it's mini small area but as the bhan doesn't get tons of tourists uh it's it's limited obviously everything and yeah and then later on seeing how people dress the same way the traditional clothes and uh nature is untouched it's very clean organized it's beautiful I love it all right we have a mini oh okay it's fun you don't have to do too much I am the one not working everyone is working but uh you know what they say that cameraman Never Dies the cameraman Never Dies so whenever you are in danger always start recording the cameraman Never

that a lot in Nepal over the and also Pakistan they over the river that's how they ship ship all the goods to The Villages so the cars would come and drop the stuff there and then with the zip line oh they take it all the way to the other side so it's much easier and they save lots of energy for sure beautiful in a distance there's a nice little village houses and the mountains are popping up from
