General Information |
Some
do and Do not
The Nepalese people are friendly and hospitable
by nature and the tourist in general will have
no difficulty adjustment. At the sometime for,
one may be confused regarding some customs, traditions
and manners as in coming into any unfamiliar society.
Nepal like any other country has its own way of
regularity life though it might be different in
degrees to each individual visitor. We want the
visitors to observe and see the way of Nepalese
people live and share with them. It is in the
spirit that we offer some practical guidelines
that could help to make the stay delightful homely
and rewarding.
The religion is an integral
and deep-rooted part of Nepalese life. Temples,
images sacred painting are to be seen everywhere.
Majority of the people
are Hindus and Buddhist. These are closely connected
in Nepal and it would take a lifetime's study
to understand the complexities of country's religious
life.
Visitors to Hindus temple
or Buddhist shrine are expected to be unshedding
as a mark of respect, In fact, a pair of open
sandals is more convenient and comfortable while
visiting the temple and stupas.
-
In
some of the temples entrance may be prohibited
for the non-Hindus.
-
Leather
articles are prohibited to be taken inside the
temple.
-
It
is better not to touch offering or persons when
they are on the way to shrines.
-
Beef
is strictly prohibited among both Hindus and
Buddhist.
-
No
more female animals is killed for food.
-
Generally
temples, stupas and monument are permitted to
be photographed but it is better to ask authorized
persons to have permission before the camera.
Social Out looks
Since the majority of our people live in rural
areas, there out look life is simple and traditional.
If fact, they take special delight in the company
of forging visitors but there are certain things
that are alien or embarrassing to Nepalese people.
Here are few things to keep in mind;
-
It
is better to be decently clad when visiting
any places. Sun sand beach wear is not proper
when roaming around. Briefs, shorts, bare shoulders
and backs may not appreciate. One need not be
stiff and overdressed but comfortable and decently
covered.
-
Do not be offended if a Nepalese lady hesitates
to shake hands. In Nepal, people, especial women,
do not normally shake hands when they greet
one another, but instead press the palms together
in a prayer-like gesture known as Namaste.
-
Public
display of affection between man and women is
frowned upon. Do not do something that is totally
alien o our environment.
-
We are hard on drug abuse; trafficking and possession
of drugs are taking as serous offences.
