10 Things you should avoid while trekking in Nepal.

  1. Don't use your left hand while giving gifts or money to Nepalese people.

You should use the right hand when you give money or gift to any Nepalese person. If you give money with your left hand, then Nepalese person understands that you are not satisfied with their services.

  1. Beware of yaks

With a massive weight of 400 kg, yaks have poor visual and hearing perception. So they don't notice any people next to them. If there is a yak caravan right in front of you, then it is good to stay far from them.
Don't drink tap water and streets fresh juice You
should only use clean and mineral water to drink. And, you must avoid the fresh fruit juice in the street because you may fall from this kind of street juices.

  1. Travel with required medicine and vaccination

Be sure to keep all those necessary things in your first aid kit. Nepal is located in Asia so that you won't find a substitute for your usual medicine, even in Capital pharmacy.
Regarding vaccinations: Nepal is barred from the catalog of countries with mandatory vaccination against yellow fever. Still, according to World Health Organization instructions, it is deserving considering whether you were vaccinated against diphtheria (every 10 years), rubella, typhoid fever, and hepatitis A and B.

  1. Don't go where you are not allowed to go

In the capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu, you shouldn't leave the tourist zone at night. It's called Thamel, and it offers all you may need: restaurant, cafe, shop, travel agencies: about 90% of the guests stay there and enjoy their facilities.
Being a tourist may be securing, but you must keep away from going to those places in Kathmandu. You are determinedly advised not to go. There is a convinced "black magic market" in the city: where the foreigner is not welcomed. It is better to listen to this advice because if any things happen, no one will pay.

5. Don't buy knives which are considered as cold weapons.

The famous curved knife name as "kukri" is still part of the Nepalese army weapons. Many tourists are pleased to buy this kind of souvenir to show to their friends and relatives. But it's dangerous and risky. 
Exporting a knife from Nepal won't be a problem in most cases: however, you may get in question once landed in your country.

6. Don't hire bikes or cars

Bikes are almost the primary vehicles in Kathmandu. Side traffic in Nepal, Kathmandu, is left-handed, which complicates American and European tourists. 
Hiring taxi is excellent at transporting passengers (payment based on taximeter).

7. Take shoes off while entering in Temple

Always take off your shoes when entering a temple, whether it is a Hindu temple or a Buddhist one. You will observe that everyone walks barefoot in those. This is to show value to the deities. Also, keep away from using your finger to point at a statue or a shrine. This is also another sign considered to be very impolite.

8. Beef In Nepal


Being a mostly Hindu majority country, it is most excellent not to have any beef or seek in any place. Cows are considered a very sacred animal in the Hindu religion. Hindus frequently worship cows so you could appreciate how eating beef in this country is frowned upon. 

 9. Do Not Shout In Public


Nepal is a rather peaceful country. The people like to live a pleasant-sounding existence free from any hustle or bustle, as is the case in the metropolitan cities all over the world. An escape from this hustle and bustle is a vital cause of why people visit Nepal. Hence it is significant to uphold a low volume when talking in Nepal. Also, it is considered impolite to shout and to raise one's voice in the community. 

10.  Dress properly

Nepal is a conservative country where till not using western dress. So we want to suggest you to not wear short dresses and short skirts. If you are visiting temple you should wear full cover clothes.
