Good to know
Brief Cultural Considerations
The test for you as a tourist to Nepal is to esteem the privileges and principles of the resident folks and to minimalize your influence, both traditionally and ecologically. ACAP (Annapurna Conservation Area Project) is working to conserve the natural and cultural resources of the area. We can all show a portion in this by just being conscious of our activities and how they mark the atmosphere around us.
Please Consider The Following When Trekking:
1. Dress Appropriately
The more is better. Skimpy dress in the mountain communities is not appropriate, especially for females. T-shirts and trousers/long skirt are the suggested dress, but lengthy shorts are also acceptable. Signifying a determination to be subtle to their ethos will improve your knowledge with the Nepalese folks.
2. Don’t Encourage Begging
Don’t hand pens, cash or candies straight to the kids. This does not only inspire begging but also causes much war amongst the children. You’d rather hand your aids or enclosures to an institute that will allocate them among the children.
3. Please don’t take the culture home with you
Consider before you buy any sacred relics or endangered animals.
4. Leave nothing but your footprint
Take your rubbish with you.
5. Smile
Easy to give, wonderful to receive. A smile surpasses all cultural boundaries.
6. Tip
Confiscate your shoes before ingoing a Nepali household.
