Culture and traditions Nepal

 Traditions and customs

Two rules you should follow when in society: take your shoes off before walking into a religious building or a house and walk around temples and stupas clockwise. When meeting someone out in the countryside, it is customary to greet them by joining your hands and saying "Namaste". As for shopping, do not hesitate to negotiate the price before buying, it is also part of the traditions.
