A British travel vlogger became an unexpected witness to Nepal’s dramatic political moments. Harry, the UK traveller behind the YouTube channel WeHateTheCold, is known for motorbike vlogs, not conflict reporting.

But his on-ground footage from Kathmandu’s Gen Z-led protests has gone viral, amassing millions of views and turning him into what media outlets are calling an “accidental conflict reporter”.


He found himself caught in the middle of violent demonstrations after a sudden curfew left him stranded. His video, shot on the streets around the parliament complex, showed flames, smashed vehicles, tear gas, and protesters clashing with police



His clips captured rare, raw street-level moments: protesters advancing as riot police retreated under plumes of smoke, tear gas shells bursting in the air, and barricades being pulled down near the government offices.
