and dining. There a lot of things for a foreigner to learn when eating in public and
even at home. Learning these dining manners help avoid any embarrassment.

• Restaurants provide Oshibori, a hot steamed hand towel,
before a meal for customers to clean their hands. 

this‟) before eating your meal.

loudly chew with the mouth open while eating. 

out of them. 

 Nepali people greet saying „namaste’ together with joining both
palms. ‘Namaste’ is mostly done in formal occasions. In other
occasions, it is done for seniors.  Nepali people address each
other saying didi (“older sister”), bahini (“younger sister”), daai
(“older brother”), bhaai (“younger brother”), buwa (“father”) and
aamaa (“mother”) for a warm reaction.  The gesture of nodding
the head means you are interested to the interlocutor; shaking of
head left- right means you do not agree.  While meeting for the
first time, Nepali people ask each other‟s name, home town and
profession.  While eating, once you have touched something to
your lips, it is regarded as polluted (jutho) for everyone else.  If
you are eating with your hands, use the right one only. The left
hand is reserved for washing.  Men wear shirt/long trousers; and
women should wear a sari or Kurtha Suruwal on most occasion. 
You can shake hands with a stranger; kissing and hugging
another in public is not accepted.

Dear Grace, [SALUTATION LINE]
I am happy to know that you are visiting Nepal next month. I am sure that you are going
to have a great time in Nepal. To make your stay more pleasant, I am going to advise you
regarding some cultural behaviour in Nepal. [COURTESY, PURPOSE AND OPENING
PARAGRAPH]
Nepali people are more silent, and you may have to ask quite a few questions initially.
You can ask questions about family, marriage and job. Nepali people feel more closed,
and stand much closer while communicating. They may even hold your arm/hand once
they become familiar with you. However, this does not occur between the male and the
female. Men and women do not touch in public. Even a husband will not kiss, hug or
openly hold hands or show other signs of affection to his wife in public. [BODY
PARAGRAPH 1]
Greetings are done by pressing both palms together at the chest level and saying
"Namaste ". People wiggle the head-back and forth to mean ‟yes‟; and move the head
from side to side to mean ‟no‟. Casual dress would be appropriate for men to wear to
work, unless they are in an official setting. Women should wear longer clothes covering
the body. In all cases, women should dress modestly with arms and legs covered.
[BODY PARAGRAPH 2]
I hope that you found the tips useful. I am waiting for your arrival in Nepal . [COURTESY

• Bhedetar is a transit point to Dhankuta from Sunsari district. It is 16 km north-

east from Dharan. It is at the top of a hill almost 1450 meters high from the
sea level. People from different places visit Bhedetar for a picnic in the winter
and to enjoy cool fresh air in the hot summer. Charles' Point, a peak the
British Prince Charles climbed in 1994, and now known as Bhedetar
Viewpoint, is a point one should reach. Visitors are allowed to take
photographs there.
• A road goes for Kamphek, Danda Bazaar and Ravi from Bhedetar. Visitors
can stay in cozy lodges and hotels there. A twenty-minute walk to the west
from Bedetar leads the visitors to the famous Second Pathibhara Devi's
temple. Hindus are allowed to worship the goddess. They say belief in
supernatural power is necessary to weave people together. In addition,
Bhedetar is a viewpoint of the beautiful scenery of the plains of Kosi and the
charming Himalayan ranges like Kumbhakarna and Makalu. Anyone can
easily catch regular buses or hire taxis at Bhanuchowk, Dharan for Bhedetar.
