Cultural Highlights
Nepal’s biggest festivals bring families together with tika, jamara, lights and rituals. Tihar illuminates streets with oil lamps, while Holi colours spring with laughter and music.
Momos, dal bhat, gundruk and rich Newari dishes shape Nepal’s culinary identity. Chiya and Himalayan-grown coffee warm early mornings across the mountains.
Thangka painting, woodcarving and metal craft thrive beside sarangi, madal and damphu in Nepal’s vibrant musical tradition.
Respectful Travel
Always ask before photographing ceremonies or people. Remove shoes at shrines, dress modestly, and walk clockwise around stupas to follow local customs.
