Recently, most tourists from Tibet will take a trip to Nepal. Nepal has unique customs and low prices, attracting a large number of people. Moreover, it is very convenient to travel from Tibet to Nepal by land, so more and more tourists like to travel from Lhasa, Tibet, to Nepal.
Nepal is located at the southern foot of the middle Himalayas. It is a country with the most diverse climates in the world, and its topography is also the most complex in the world. Nepal is a small country in Asia, but it is also a big tourist country. In Nepal, you can admire the world heritage sites at the crossroads of Asia's great civilizations (Hinduism and Buddhism, the Chinese nation and Indians), walk on the most magnificent snow-capped mountains, and ride elephants to visit world-class national parks.
If you want to avoid tourist traps when traveling to Nepal, there will be no problem as long as you have a good strategy. For example, when going to Nepal, when is the most suitable time to travel? The best season is of course October to November This month happens to be the beginning of Nepal’s dry season, so it is the most comfortable time to travel. Secondly, we need to pay attention to what cannot be brought into Nepal. You can find these things by searching on Baidu, as well as booking air tickets and hotels. As long as you understand these basic strategies, you will basically have no big problems in going to Nepal.
Then, special attention should be paid to local customs and taboos, because Nepalese people have a gentle personality and do things in a leisurely manner. They do not have a strong sense of time, so it is different from the local people. You need some patience when interacting. For example, when you go to eat, try not to look for food when you are very hungry, because they will serve the food very slowly.
The vast majority of Nepalese believe in Hinduism. Many Hindu temples prohibit people who are not Hindus from entering, so you must not wear shorts or skirts when entering the temple, and then enter the temple. You also need slippers inside, and you must remember to walk clockwise when going around the pagoda. For some religious ceremonies, you must obtain permission before taking pictures. Do not take pictures when visiting a funeral ceremony. This is a disrespectful act.
In Nepal, the left hand is considered unclean, so you must avoid using your left hand to give items to other people. You must not use your left hand when shaking hands with others, and you must not touch children. Because they think the head is sacred, outsiders cannot touch it, and they cannot hold the soles of their feet toward others when sitting. If you notice these, there will basically be no problems.
Most of the people in Nepal are very friendly. As long as you pay attention to these customs and basic tips before traveling, I believe that this trip will be very beautiful, and you can choose yourself and your friends freely. OK, if you go with a group, you must choose a qualified travel agency, and you must be careful when choosing local travel groups. I wish you all a happy journey!
