 Nepal is a small country with varied diversified population. This country is famous for its unity in diversity, in language and lifestyle, caste and religions. Although there are different religions like Hindu, Buddhism, Christian, Muslim and others that live in Nepal, there is no discrimination among them. Every religion is prevailing with equal respect.

So, they have strong faith in divine Power.In Nepal, the typical costume of women is Gunnau Cholo, Dhoti and Patuka and the Nepali costume of men is Daura Suruwal and Dhaka topi. There can also be other costumes as well, like Bakhu, Lehnga, haku patasi, kactihad etc. Each costume also represents the culture of the specific society. The rituals and language of one society may or may not be similar to others in the human race. There are many typical dances in each society like Kauda dance related with Magar, Ghatu dance is related with Gurung, Dhimal dance is related with Dhamal etc. Likewise, festivals also differ from one caste and religion to the other like Dashain, Tihar, teej, etc, which are celebrated by Chhetri, Bhraman and Hindu, Fagu and Maghi etc, celebrated by Maithali and Bhojpuri and Losahar clebrated by Tamang and Sherpa.

Village Tourism with Nepal Environmental |
 Nepal Environmental Trekking has been operating village tourism since the beginning of its establishment. We cherish believe that village tourism offers a unique opportunity for comfortable cultural immersion. You travel to places where the way of life has not changed and where everything is still built by hand, made by hand and created by hand. Visit people untouched by western ideals, computers or modern "necessities".Our company contracts with a whole village to accommodate and entertain guests; rooms in local houses are fitted with bathrooms and a few tourist-style comforts, host families are trained to prepare meals hygienically, and a guide accompanies the guests to interpret. Participating villages tend to be located a couple of hours' walk from the nearest road - close enough to be easily accessible for less-than-fit visitors, yet far enough to be culturally intact and shielded from outside influences. We take our guests to unspoiled villages where they spend a few days living with the local people and being treated as honored family guests. Each village is connected through a variety of crucial horizontal linkages with other villages and with urban areas both near and far. Most villages are characterized by a multiplicity of economic, caste, kinship, occupational, and even religious groups linked vertically within each settlement. While staying in the villages, guests enjoy comfortable accommodation, delicious local food and drink and a welcome that will remain a happy memory for a lifetime. While they are with us our guests can rest assured that they are always in a secure and safe environment. Local attractions, both scenic and cultural, are shown to our guests by our well trained ethnic guides who always do their utmost to make the guest’s stay a memorable experience. Many of our villages are close to unspoiled natural areas where wildlife may be seen undisturbed. This can be a feature of our packages for special interest groups. The traditional culture of the different ethnic groups is a highlight of all of our village visits. These warm and friendly people are always ready to perform their music and dance and to give an insight into their religion. Examples of local handicrafts will be on display, and for sale, to guests. The aim of operating such kind of tourism is to help the participating villages greatly improve their community. 10 % of our net profit goes directly into their tourism venture. Our company mainly focuses on these areas as models of village tourism. |

Specifically we always attempt to effectively promote the preservation of entire local ecosystems, not just individual species, vistas or sites. In numerous places, trekking groups have left littered trails and degraded forest in their wake. Against this alarming backdrop, the practice of ecologically friendly-tourism has been gaining increased momentum – both in Nepal and around the World. Our approach to tourism seeks not only to preserve the environment and culture of a tourist destination but also to be of benefit to the local population. By fostering environmental awareness, both among locals & visitors and by linking tourism to social and economic development, it is possible to preserve the natural and cultural heritage of an area through the promotion of sustainable tourism. This not only enhances the positive experience of those on holiday it also helps to increase the standard of living of the local residents. Such a lot has been said about environmentally friendly tourism and no doubt a lot more will be. We can proudly say without hesitation that we have led the way in responsible tours to our country. Our slogan is “Where there is greenery, there is peace and happiness”. In this regard we strongly condemn deforestation and organize plantation project from time to time. All the guides and porters working in this company have been provided training about the hazards faced by the environment. They have learned and adopted practices for protection of environment. In training and workshop about environmental degradation and specific measures for the protection, the local people of different areas have been invited. These programs provide awareness to the local community about sanitation, hazards of deforestation, preservation of eco system; maintain cleanliness and hygiene and so on.

One of the notable features of these weddings is, the ceremony is held in the open, under a canopy known as a mandap with a sacred fire in the center and the bride and bridegroom walk around it seven times. The ceremony is carried out by the priest. The groom's party is supposed to arrive at the wedding venue in a procession, so it's good to have a convenient assembly location nearby.Astrologers decide on auspicious dates of the marriage on the basis of the position of the stars.

Traditionally, the bride and groom are escorted to the marriage venue. In a village, the couple reaches the marriage venue on horses or baskets, while in a city marriage the couple arrives at the venue in a decorated car. Music is an essential part of marriages.
