Most of you might be seeking for comfort while travelling but the best things you doing life is whenyou get out of your comfort zone. If you are a backpacking travelers or even if you are not staying at the camp while trekking is going to be adventurous for you. Hotels, lodge or tea houses are abundantly found but what is the use of planning a trekwhen you do not want to soak yourself into the depth of it.
Travel with a guide
Yes… travelling with a guide is going to cost you slightly much more but it is worth it. if you plan to travel alone then there is no use of it as half of thetime you will be roaming and wondering about what to do and where to go. A guide has a complete knowledge of where you should go, what you should experience, and what make you astonished.
Eating at not so fancy restaurants
There are abundant of hotels and restaurants who will be serving you your authentic native food but I am sure, you have heard about, when in Rome act like Romans. Trythe authentic not so fancy Newariand Thakali restaurants of Kathmandu. They won’t have the greatambience you are looking for to post in your Instagram but the food they offer is definitely mouthwatering. You will get to try the authentic flavors and taste of Nepal.
Do not give money to beggars
If you are a very kind and a humble person whocannot really see other person suffering, then be aware not to give money to the beggars you see on the roads of Kathmandu. They are many in quantities and the money you had planned to spend on your holiday will be spend on them. Most of them are fake as well and very disrespectful sometimes.
Leave your shoes outside
You cannot wear shoes into the house of a typical Nepali home, it will upset the people and they will create a negative image of yours. So you better leave your shoes outside the door if by boy or any of your Nepali friend invites you for a lunch or dinner.
Greeting in Nepal
Most of the foreigners join their hands to greet people and say ‘NAMASTE’who are walking on streets. You do not really have to do that. You can simply smile at them and they will appreciate you. No need to join hands for ever next Nepali that you see.
Attire to be worn
People in the city rea are quiet forward about what to wear but do not tend to wear very revealing clothes when you move to the rural cities of the country.
Transportation
If you are moving out of capital and going to explore the other cities, you might go for the domestic airways. If you are a backpacker removing this idea out of your plans is a good option as it will save you some bucks. Opting for a road transport and booking a private vehicle will help you to explore the landscapes which you won’t get to go from the sky.
