Music and Dance
There are as many different styles of Nepali music and dance as there are ethnic groups. These traditional arts are rarely performed outside Nepal, which means that you'll be in a position to appreciate some wonderfully rare sounds and sights as you travel around the country. Meanwhile, a new wave of non-traditional Nepali music is beginning to break into the world-music charts, and as a traveller in Nepal you'll be able to sample the full range and pick up the latest releases. Gopal Yonjan, Carol Tingey and David Reed Gopal Yonjan, the main author of these essays, was one of Nepal's most beloved musicians. Like Narayan Gopal, with whom he is often compared, Yonjan wrote and performed songs that touched Nepalis deeply, though they were unknown to non-Nepali-speakers. He was also a source of great pride and inspiration for members of his Tamang ethnic group, who suffer considerable racial discrimination in Nepal. He died in 1997.

Vist Nepal with an open heart, learn to love its people who are overly-hospitable, cheerful and helpful. A few simple Nepali phrases would get you around such as Dhanybad (thank you), Kati-ho (how much) also learn the numbers 1-1000, it would prove useful when you ask for the price or try to bargain down. Always have a ready smile and do not bear grudges. Because of poverty, businessmen and taxi-drivers will try to fleece you for as much as possible. Be aware of the prices of taxi trips to and from your hotel so you do not get fleeced. Ask your reception desk for the amount needed to travel to town or the next village etc. Be easy going and life will be a breeze there. The country is so beautiful you will not want to leave, but of course the villages are always dirty and littered with rubbish. Just bear with it and you will have an enjoyable time."
