Shopping
Shopping around in Nepal can be an experience in itself. One can go from
hard street bargaining for that perfect Christmas gift, to be attended like a king in big
up-market stores. Items in Nepal are usually cheaper than back at home, so be
careful or you will find yourself flying back with 100Kg extra luggage and dreams of
setting up an export business!
What to
Buy
Nepal offers
typical ethnic items such as wooden masks, Buddha statues, prayer wheels and flags, Gorkha
knives, and much, much more. You will just have to come and check out what these
really are.
Fine articles, such as
silver hand made jewelry, precious gems, pashmina shawls and cashmere pullovers have been
available for quite some years now, and are certified for quality.
Culture
Dances and Festivals
There seem to be more festivals and holidays than working days in Nepal.
From organized culture dances in Kathmandu restaurants to gods parading in the streets,
every moment provides an opportunity to celebrate life. Even while trekking in
remote areas, foreigners are invited to assist weddings and special occasions giving first
hand experience to their fascinating lifestyles and beliefs. Culture in Nepal is so
broad that we have developed a special
Culture Section
providing more details of it's variety, and dates of Nepal's many festivals.
