Follow Me Go! Little Backpackers: The Grand Tour (Nepal)

Follow Me Go! "Little Backpackers" is a program that allows children to step out of their comfort zones and hone their problem solving abilities during the journey. Three groups, each comprising a host and three little backpackers, have embarked on their journey in three different countries. The goal for the Nepal team is to climb the 3,200-meter Poun Hill. The host followed the three little backpackers that were responsible for planning the journey, and arrived at their first stop: Kathmandu. There, the four of them visited the famous Hindu Pashupatinath Temple, where they witnessed an alternative perspective on life and death from a different religion. A competition at the Patan Durbar Square taught the backpackers how to handle failure, and the value of team support and encouragement in the face of setbacks.
The journey documents how the little backpackers progressed from strangers to friends and from disagreement to compromise and fellow recognition -- creating a unique life experience for the little backpackers!

Director Statement

This is a children's program that features children during their travels. In the previous season, we let the children plan their own journey. What could be different in the new season?
I love traveling. Before each trip, in addition to doing my homework, I will set myself a goal: maybe it is to climb a mountain, visit a scenic wonder, or live in the desert under the starry sky. Some people say that traveling with a purpose is like embarking on a challenging expedition, and that is how the theme of this season came to be.
Little backpackers under the age of 13 have embarked on thrilling journeys, and with confidence and courage, have achieved the ultimate goal of their journey. Each journey has its ups and downs, and the little backpackers had to learn how to compromise and achieve personal breakthroughs. As the backpackers overcome each setback with a positive mindset, and opened themselves to the world, they realize that there are more possibilities open to them. Their journey allows them to grow and create fond and lasting memories; this program hopes to give children a personal experience that is different from school education.
