As they say, while you’re in Rome, do as the Romans do. The same principle would help you get along with the Nepalese. Nepalis are generally friendly people – so they may not tell you even something you do bothers with their custom. But, they’ll certainly appreciate the visitors’ sensitivity to the local customs.
- Say Namaste often: Namaste means “I pay homage to the god living in your soul”. Fold your palms together and say Namaste to befriend any stranger. Say Namaste to say goodbye.
- Open your shoes outside the gate before you enter a Nepali home, especially in villages.
- Take a clockwise direction when you come across a Hindu or Buddhist religious site during your trek.
- Take enough money of small denominations while traveling in far off places – changes are scarce in the rural Nepal.
- Dress like the locals as far as possible – wear less revealing outfits.
- Offer a food item to a Nepali friend with your right hand. Nepalis use the left hand for washing their bottom after defecation, hence offering food items with the left hand is considered “dirty”.
- For the most Nepalis, you’re also a representative of a cultured & developed society. Hence, you can always set an example by following a healthy and eco-friendly lifestyle.
