Harald & Kumar’s Romantic Deal with Khunkar Banana Lady 🍌

■ KATHMANDU, NEPAL: Ever since I did the Himalayan Langtang trek 2 years ago, I've been dreaming of another mountain adventure. Not to copy my Langtang experience, as I consider that to be impossible as so many things went right on that trek despite me doing zero planing and it being my first multi-day trek and first time in the Himalayas, but to find something of equal beauty and novelty.
The thing is that such mountain treks is impossible to discover using Google. You simply cannot get a true feel for what a trek will be like through photos and videos from other people's journeys. You can get an idea, but reality may be nothing like what their hand-picked memories suggests.
So I decided to simply pick a random place and hope for the best. My choice fell on a trail circling the world's 7th tallest mountain: Manaslu. The first time I attempted the Manaslu trek was 6 months ago. I failed before it had even begun as I ran into a troublesome rule which says you need a guide to walk on a simple path hundreds of people walk on everyday! 🤦🏼‍♂️
So I gave up before the trek had actually started.... mainly due to mishaps and human insanity outside of my control. Six months later I have a different plan. I shall journey up towards Manaslu mountain and then head off the beaten path where no permit check-points or insane alcoholic stalker guides exist.
But first I need to get from Kathmandu towards the foothills of the Himalayas. As I suspected, this proved to be quite the adventure in and of itself....mainly thanks to a ruthless but entertaining girl selling bananas on the outskirts of Kathmandu...

Cheers to that!

[@HaraldBaldr]

Back again with another question for Nepali native speakers. I was told not just by Kumar but by Sunil that Ruthless translates as Khunkar in Nepalese. However some says it actually means Cruel. So what does it actually mean? I recognize this girl selling the bananas as ruthless which is not in and of itself. a negative word. She's driving a hard ruthless bargain. However Cruel is a bad word and I don't think she's cruel at all. So what does Khunkar mean exactly?

[@usernameac276]

Ruthless is correct

[@HaraldBaldr]

@@usernameac276 ok. Had at least two Nepalese say it means cruel. So can it have a dual meaning? And how would you say Cruel in Nepalese?

[@LetsGoSid]

Khunkar means dangerous or ruthless, it's a positive word showing power and strength

[@aarohabaral9610]

The direct translation to English "Full-blooded" it is more of a positive affirmation at least in our household.

[@bhanughola9779]

Khunkhaar means like ferocious it is generally old Nepalese term used mostly back in the days

[@dipendraranjit-wb1bv]

As a Nepali , I’m so sorry for that banana lady’s behavior herald. We Nepali known to the world for honesty and kind. This kind of hassle and greediness really made me feel that wish I was there to actually stop her and explain her that her behavior is not acceptable. So herald agin I’m so sorry. Thanks for loving our country and please keep visiting. Jai Nepal 🇳🇵

[@rrbk6025]

She was kinda saying it jokingly, but then it turned serious...

[@desthomas3020]

She was a disgrace to your country.

Some one should have stopped that lady from asking for too many favours. She was even asking for 5k for bananas. Even though she stays in a big house she was asking money for repairing the commercial property. There's a difference between request and nagging.

Finally My waiting is over and now ready to follow your all Himalaya Road-trip episode without skipping a bit second. best of luck dude

[@komal4414]

Manaslu, the world's eighth-highest mountain at 8,163 meters (26,781 ft). The trek is wild and remote, yet there are teahouses at every stage, so trekkers don’t need to bring tents and food, making it more accessible and affordable than similar treks, less crowded in Everest. The scenery provides all Nepal has to offer: you'll trek from the subtropical jungle at lower elevations, through the Himalayan foothills to the high, cold and challenging crossing of the Larkya La above 5,100 meters / 17,000 feet. First drive to Soti khola than Maccha khola to Jagat to than Deng to Namrung to Samagaon to Samdo to Dharamsala to Bimthang to Tilije. It’s one of the prettiest unventured off the beaten track trek. Good luck North man.
