Nestling in the foothills of the Himalayas, Nepal is a land of
contrasts and incongruities – not least in the variety of its
cultural, ethnic, and religious weave. The Nepalese attitude to
life is essentially religious. Hindu and Buddhist values
predominate and help to maintain social harmony despite the
divisions between rich and poor, urban and rural, highlands
and lowlands.
Culture Smart! Nepal sets out to explain the complexities of
Nepalese life, from home to business, to the marketplace. It
tells you what to expect, and provides insights that will help
you to go beyond friendly smiles and turn your visit into an
enlightening and rewarding experience.
