What To Buy In Nepal

Most of us know Nepal to be home of the snow-capped Himalayas and birthplace of the Buddha. It is also home of an unconquered people with a rich and diverse culture that defines any visit to the country. Due to its unique location that finds it hemmed in by India, China, and Tibet, it has absorbed many overlapping influences into its own fabric. So whether you visit the country to find your spiritual center at Lumbini or Pashupatinath, to scale new peaks, or to observe the majesty of the terai (Nepal's Southern lowland), you'll want to pick out a keepsake from your visit that reminds you of the enchanting pattern of Nepal. We suggest you consider thangka paintings, singing bowls, local Lokta paper products, traditional khukuri knives, statues and masks, and maybe a box or two of home-grown tea and spices. Keep reading to find out what to buy in Nepal.

No-Name Restaurants And Other Go-To Eateries In Bhaktapur, Nepal

Bhaktapur is the City of Culture, and part of showcasing this rich heritage is in their cuisine.

Bhaktapur is quite famous for its juju dhau, which means the “King of All Dessert,” a type of custard/yogurt that can be eaten by itself. Some prefer it with honey. When in Bhaktapur, eat what the Nepalese eat. Here are some of the recommended restaurants in the city of Bhaktapur based on factors such as quality, cleanliness, affordability and ambiance:

7 Customs In Nepal To Keep In Mind

Etiquette is a tricky thing, especially when you’re in a foreign country and you’re dealing with multiple ethnicities in one country. For this reason, Nepal, a country with a rich tapestry of cultures, religions, and lifestyles, is a complex country to navigate. It is also one of the most beautiful to witness.

How Safe Is Kathmandu, Nepal? Time To Visit The Land Of Gods

After suffering a devastating earthquake in April of this year, Nepal, as a country, is attempting to move forward and adapt. I recently spent ten days in Kathmandu and its surrounding regions and when I left, a unique impression was imprinted into me that only a handful of places in the world have had. In my short time there, the resilience humans have in the face of adversity was clear; observing firsthand how humans have adapted to continue persevering with their lifestyle after such a traumatic event was beautiful to witness. People have gravitated towards tying links, shedding former grudges for the sake of community.

4 Best Things To Do In The Chitwan District Of Nepal

Chitwan is one of the 75 districts in Nepal and its name comes from the Chitwan Valley, one of the well-known Inner Terai Valleys between the Siwalik and Mahabharat ranges, at the foothills of the Himalayas. Other than this, Chitwan is also known to provide a different picture of Nepal. It is usually depicted to be all about the altitude of the highlands - snowcapped mountains, temples, and tea treks. However, Chitwan embodies the lifestyle of the flatland and the culture of its people. That said, the Chitwan district is different in the sense that it is quite agricultural in nature. You’ll find a lot of millet, wheat, barley, soybeans, and potatoes in the typical diet, unlike the usual meat and dairy based diet of the rest of the Nepalese. There are a lot of shopping districts and restaurants in the area, so if you’re visiting, be sure to check out some of the food items they have to offer. If you’ve been wondering what it feels like to live in the foothills of the Himalayas, be sure to check out the Inner Terai, part of which is Chitwan.

Traditional Food
Guide To Nepal Food: 10 Nepali Dishes You Should Try

Because of its location nestled in the Himalayas among the regions of China, Tibet, and India, Nepalese cuisine contains a collection of spices and flavors heavily influences by these cultures. Lentils, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and garlic are some of the most prevalent ingredients, which compliments with spices like cumin, curry, coriander, and turmeric. Due to its geographical isolation, traditional food in Nepal focuses on organic and locally grown goods. Their dishes are generally healthy and rely heavily on vegetables, lentils, and pickled side dishes.

What Lies Beyond Kathmandu: Exploring Southern Nepal

Most tourists usually flock to Northern Nepal where Kathmandu (The City of Temples) or Bhaktapur (The City of Culture), are. However, unbeknownst to many, there are also plenty of things to see in Southern Nepal, especially if you want to escape the frenzy of tourists or if you want to see something a bit more natural and rustic. So much of Southern Nepal is still untamed forest. Certainly, this makes it ideal for those who really want to go off the beaten path. Unlike Northern Nepal where the high Himalayas are, Southern Nepal is mostly flatland, which makes it ideal for swaps, grasslands and savannas. A good part of it has also been converted into agricultural land. Southern Nepal is also called Terai, which means the low-lying lands at the foot of the Himalayas. Some people also refer to it as Tarai. So much of Terai was once a part of India rather than Nepal, before it was given as a gift by the British to what was once a united Kingdom of Nepal. Certainly, the culture of India remains strong here, especially since a lot of those from India have already chosen to reside here. So if you want to venture off the known areas of Nepal, here are four places in Terai or Southern Nepal that might strike your fancy:
