Cultural Considerations in Nepal
In Nepal revealing clothes are not acceptable for women, and men should always wear a shirt.
Always pass religious sites and prayer flags on the left.
When you sit, avoid always pointing your feet at any sacred objects or at another person. Feet are considered unclean.
Do not pat anyone on the head, not even children. It is considered the spiritual apex of the body and therefore sacred.
Photography
Always ask for permission to take someone’s photograph.
Do not promise to send photographs unless you intend to follow through.
When in doubt about taking a picture, ask yourself if it would be appropriate in the same circumstances at home.
In Nepalese airports carry your film with you and ask that it be inspected by hand. Despite what you may be told, not all x-ray equipment there is safe for film.
Lighting conditions in Nepal are extreme. For best results, shoot in the early morning or late in the day.
