bit of explore and I'll  tell you a little bit more about the history of   this place because you know I am usually coming  to these historical spots and just like walking   around but I do want to talk a little bit about  the history because it's you know it's it's so   it's so important and incredible that it deserves  to be talked about look at this [Music] wow some   really interesting pieces here unfortunately I  just don't have enough uh with making a tick tock   I don't have enough space in my luggage so as  we're doing a little circle around the whole   of this Square I'll just talk to you a little bit  about the history so it was a nawari people that   enters the kamandu valley around 2000 years ago  and it became a monarchy and then roughly in the   1950s it was overtaken and it became a democratic  uh State and then obviously became more political   and oh my god look how many pictures there are  this is insane I'm getting very distracted here   it's a bad time to give you a history lesson  well hello yeah how are you Namaste good good   good and then obviously in recent years Nepal was  absolutely devastated by the earthquake which I'm   assuming um the scaffolding is because they're  still you know it's it was in 2015 it's now 2023   and they're still repairing things and repurposing  things because the disruption was so bad   here we go oh my God that's incredible so I  think what's happened is uh they like make a   sound so the pigeons move and it just creates  this amazing movement of the birds together   and this like it's a Saturday so it is very very  busy but I was not expecting it to be this busy   I wonder why uh people are here getting blessings  maybe oh there's getting food over there it looks   like they're getting food for free let's see  if we can uh find out more about this place oh no it's nice it's very similarious it's hard for me to pronounce I'm just gonna call  you um James Bond oh James won yeah I'm from Nepal oh yeah yeah so you are the people are praying  they're praying enough yeah yeah okay   nice praying to God oh praying to God  okay have a great day okay have a good   holiday same to you nice to meet

destroyed I believe and it's one of four  different squares within the kamandu area [Music]   wow this is a party this is a festival I guess  so they're just uh enjoying themselves as they   should I have to say this is again I keep making  these incredible uh purchases this is going to be   one of the best purchases I've made because  none of the tourist guides are coming up to   me and hassling
