14 Days in Nepal with a Rented Motorcycle, and a Paraglider.

On a beach in Mexico, my friend Mo told me about his plans for last minute trip to Nepal- after one google image search of the country, I said i'm coming with you.
I packed only what I could carry on a rented 200cc motorcycle, and arrived with and open mind and zero expectation besides seeing the tallest mountains in the world, and an adventure with a good friend.
This movie is an attempt to capture the experience from my perspective.

Reason mountain are nit visible, because mountains in nepal want you to visits them again.

[@nishant3528]

Dude! This randomly got recommended on my feed and I was like,”Let’s watch a video about home while having dinner.” I’m on the 28th minute mark and I’m crying and sh**. Your storytelling skill is unparalleled. If anyone asks me to show a video about Nepal, I’m showing this.

[@CuriousChronicleTV]

This is exactly why I pay my internet bills - for great content like this. Here's to your continued success and happiness, which I hope reaches even higher than the towering peaks of Nepal!

[@Sandipsundas]

Why is this video so short? It's a 30-minute video, but it feels like it ended so quickly. Just wow! I see myself in this video as a child, as an adult, as a Nepali, as a nature lover. Thank you for your video. Welcome to Nepal.

[@mydogischoking]

Judson, I travel South America on a motorcycle with a paramotor on the back of it. Presently I'm in Peru. On a daily basis I wonder if there is anyone out there that can relate to the words that are in my head as alone I put in mile after mile, after mile. But you didn't just eloquently echo my thoughts, you spoke to my heart also. I just wanted to thank you for making this video. I just wanted to thank you for all the hours you sat behind a computer editing and choosing just the right narration. For me, it was special. Thank you.

[@JudsonGraham]

That’s a special comment. Thank you

[@ashishkc8387]

In my view it’s not only the place it’s the people that make the place beautiful and welcoming. That is why foreigners are in love with Nepal 🇳🇵 I am absolutely happy and emotional the way you portrayed the beauty of Nepal with your experience and storytelling. Love you bro ❤️ keep up what you doing.

[@sudipgiri126]

I preparing to leave Nepal for better life. And the small brothers quotes "it is really good country, yes?" " You live in Bus!!??" And the child play really gets me nostalgic and question my decision. Thank you brother for this immensive experience. Keep making these vids. i am sure you will continue to do great work. Best of luck brother.

[@lifeadventures465]

Thank you Judson, Don't know why, but this brought tears to my eyes. I will never make to this place, but I am thankful/grateful you took me along. God speed and blue skies!!!

[@surajbyanju]

This is amazing. The rawness and emotions in this video make it so much better. No crazy cinematography or 4k drone flights, just based on raw emotions. I currently live in the US, and this video certainly took me back home, and my eyes were teary.

[@MAX-nx6hg]

Your videos are so similar to INTO THE WIlD movie. Lots of emotions and monoluges thats really good made my day. I hope you enjoy your stay in our beautiful country.

[@haku_aku]

The storytelling , cinematography, moments and everything about this short film were truly phenomenal, touching and simply beautiful. Thank you for visiting our home Nepal 🇳🇵 Much love Judson Graham ! ❤️

[@travismartin936]

That last part is so awesome where you finally got to see the mountains!

[@zacharyhooley]

Judson, I only know you from a previous PPG vid, but this 30min film was the perfect window into your world, and you earned a subscriber who would love to watch, and possibly share, more adventures like this! Your cinematic insightful storytelling and exquisite editing were pin-point perfect from start to finish… and that script… that was a masterpiece. 🏆 I feel honored to meet YOU, as a person and not just a pilot. 😎

[@nishant1224]

22:03 , the mini gang of kids exactly demonstrated my childhood days. I was grown up the same way the kids are. Having fun with the friends after coming from school, no tension of the career, just living the days. Even though I am from Nepal, I am currently living in Toronto, paying my bills, catching trains everyday. I thought for a while and realized how fast the time flew . I completely enjoyed a whole video and guess what,, you got a new subscriber. Thanks for showing up the mini gang.😉

[@praveshkhanal7188]

I never missed Nepal as much as I did watching this video. Nepal is beautiful, my country is beautiful. ❤️❤️

Hopefully will see you again in Nepal visiting Farwest or Fareast of Nepal as well. Or you can go to Birthplace of Buddha in Lumbini Kapilbastu or Top of the World Mt Everest in Solukhumbu district.

[@tribikramgiri5814]

Hey Judson, I was just scrolling through KZbin videos and landed on this one. Your depiction of my beloved hometown, Pokhara, truly struck a chord with me. Your storytelling skills and the way you seamlessly combined raw footage are nothing short of captivating. Thank you for providing such a heartwarming and nostalgic experience. Those 30 minutes felt like a journey back home. Keep up the fantastic work! Cheers!

[@delsongdel8258]

I usually watch videos made for my country Nepal, but this is the first time one of your videos appeared in my feed. For the first time, I felt emotional seeing my own country, maybe because of your kind words or the way you expressed your love for Nepal. Please visit again and explore other parts of Nepal next time. Thank you for visiting us. Good luck.

[@adam-newbloom]

Definitely one of your top five videos, amazingly edited and narrated. You touched the souls of your viewers with the magic of your personal journal of experience. Thanks brother!

[@wednesdaykartingflyingclub8164]

Judson, your storytelling ability is second to none. It’s incredible where your journey is taking you. Thanks for bringing us along with you. 🤙🏼

[@AvishkarAcharya]

dyaaummm, speechless ! first and foremost, I extend my gratitude for gracing my homeland. you are warmly welcomed to the realm of the Himalayas. this is my maiden voyage into your vlog, and it's utterly splendid. I've subscribed and endorsed the video from my end. It was one of the finest KZbin recommendations I've encountered. the cinematography, narration, background score, and color grading etc are exemplary in every aspect. throughout the video, I felt fully immersed, as if I were experiencing 1990s Nepal firsthand. Regrettably, it's been a year since I departed from my homeland to pursue higher education overseas, and your video has deepened my longing for home.I wish I was there and could have joined you. but never mind, I hope you'll come back again someday, and I'll be glad to meet and explore together. I must point out one overlooked gem, an eccentric old cafe known as 'SnowMan Cafe,' nestled between the old houses in Jhochhen 'Freak Street,' at the Basantapur Durbar Square, Kathmandu. Keeping those sentiments aside, I would love to welcome you to my home country with open arms. I hope we'll have the fortune to meet. and one last thing, you have a really nice sunglass. I've been wanting to buy the same for a long time but couldn't find it. I'll explore more to find and buy it, then we'll wear it and explore together someday.😜😉 (in addition, i'm surely gonna recommend this video to my nears)

Pure genius. For me this vlog or documentary is poetry in motion absolutely loved it.

[@darrendix5163]

Greetings from Crestline! As usual, really amazing content. Darren here. Can’t sleep from adrenaline from you know what! Was flying and thermalling and scratching super low all day, then another hour glassoff at Crestline. I can’t believe that’s your first XC! Indeed, truly terrifying. I did my first successful XC to Hangar 24 brewery in Redlands solo, and let me assure you, my knees were shaking violently. What a rad location for your first XC! Congratulations! I know you’ll be doing that again. I’ve never motored, but I feel you should fly unpowered more often, especially XC. XC is a true, full blown adventure, especially while traveling. You rock bro! I’m so Jelly! Someone has to do it.

[@andyupsidedown]

love your style, Thanks!

[@ericrypkema2476]

Really amazing video, thank you for sharing Judson!

[@darrendix5163]

Dude, come back and fly with us at Crestline! I’m way more into XC than the other Kooks. And you nailed it. Riding turbulent thermals totally requires you to make peace with it, and just relax. You’ll know when you truly reach total relaxation, it’s a bit of an epiphany. For me, it’s the most spiritual connection possible with paragliding, and it becomes by far the most comfortable place you have ever been, getting tossed around, often very violently by turbulent thermals, and knowing it is your duty to take whatever comes your way in order to harvest the lift that it yields. Many many times I have left thermals because it used to scare the shit out of me and is definitely uncomfortable at first. Now it’s totally addictive! Enjoy! Our pilots here have crossed the Mexico border, and the Arizona border with both hangliders and paragliders. That honestly sounds hard to believe but we have it recorded. My Neighbor and friend Rebar Dan has his HG flight to Mexico recorded.

[@svenholmquist]

When learning how to PPG, I spent 12 days on an adventure without my home/ family/ friends, doing very intense things, and found that friend inside. Great cinematography and story telling. Well done. Cheers to getting out of our comfort zones and learning about ourselves.

[@joeambrosino1075]

WOW... That was amazing! You've touched deep this time.

[@nishasapkota606]

this is so pure and lovely to watch. Iam watching it from nepal itself and I can't help myself to fall in love with my country again and again

[@danlewis9280]

Bonus artistic style points for writing your diary with a mechanical pencil and sharing that detail in a subtle way. Curious if you entertained the idea of sharing a page of it, to give a glance at how you might have captured the trip with pictures and words with graphite. Great storytelling!

[@Leesbiz52]

Bravo young man. You are lucky to live in this era of small cameras and gliding parachutes. Keep up the exploring and video documentaries for all the masses who would love to join you,but can't.
