Specialties of Nepal

The flavor is fragrant and special. You can buy them at the traditional markets in Kathmandu, Patan, and Bardegaon. There are many styles. If you don't don't know how to choose, you can just buy packaged spices. Just look at the picture to know whether it is meat or vegetable spice.
2. Gurkha Machete (Gurkha Sabre or Hukuri)
The Nepalese Sabre, or Nepalese Machete, is more accurately known as the Gurkha Machete. It comes with a wonderful story and a brave legend. Gurkha is Nepal s national knife. There is a big difference between a first class authentic and a souvenir. The price depends on the inlaid jewelry and craftsmanship of the blade and sheath. Gurkha soldiers use a machete with a small V-shaped indentation at the bottom of the blade to direct drawn blood so as not to contaminate the handle; and there are two knives on the back of the cover for sharpening things. Genuine and fake Gurkha machetes abound, with the greatest number being made in the Sandu Bafang, but the quality varies. You should admire them more before you buy them and, of course, bargain harder.
3. Handicrafts
Nepal's handicrafts are varied, strange and inexpensive, but of varying quality. There are mainly inlaid jewelry boxes, wood carvings, embroidered Buddha's t-shirt eyes, Shalingi ukulele, Nepalese hats, masks and so on.
There is also a lot of special stationery, envelopes, calendars, notebooks, wrapping paper, lanterns and so on. Handmade paper made. Prices are low, but materials are not so good and negotiable. Notebooks with Nepali cloth or batik covers are best for buying and gifting. There are many stores specializing in these handmade paper products in Kathmandu's Tamer district, each with a different design.
4. Thangka
Thangka painting is extremely complex and the materials used are exquisite. The pigments are all natural mineral and plant materials, with brilliant and enduring colors and a strong snowy style.
At present, most of the thangka paintings in Kathmandu are painted for tourists, and some are fumigated to make people think they are ancient paintings at first glance. Thangkas are designed with the religious beliefs of Tibetan Buddhism in mind, or are they songs in praise of God?o, depicting long hutong paintings that focus on festivals. The paintings are delicate and precise, and can be regarded as works of art even if they are not used as religious objects.Real thangka paintings are not good to buy. Modern artists paint thangkas all over the place, the densest concentration being in Bhakta. The price depends on one's vision and preference.
5. Nepal black tea
Nepal s milk tea is basically made of local black tea. The black tea is very delicate and the wooden box containing the black tea is beautiful and worth collecting. It it's not expensive. It it' a good choice to buy it as a gift or as a jewelry box for yourself.
In addition to the specialties detailed above, Nepalese statues, bronze, silver and gold statues, and fine wood carving art are in high demand; prayer pipes, stone carvings, tribute bowls, paper masks, thangkas and parvas, cashmere, carpets, jewelry and more. All are worth buying, provided there is a demand for them and you like them.

Masks of Nepalese Hindu gods? As stylized, masks are made of carved wood, bronze and clay. Vendors selling masks are concentrated in three durbar squares. There is also a Timi village halfway between Kathmandu and Bhakta, which is known for making solidified paper dance masks and terracotta sculptures. Masks are a specialty of this village.
Next, shopping in Nepal is worth noting:
All handicrafts in Nepal that are more than 100 years old are labeled antique. It is illegal and a serious offense to take them out of Nepal. The rest of the handicrafts, especially those made of stone, metal and wood, or oil paintings or any assemblage of historical handicrafts, need to apply for customs clearance from the Department of Archaeology in Kathmandu (near the Supreme Court) before they can be exported. Please bring your shopping list with you to apply for the customs clearance form.

Yields per hectare increased from 1.98 tons in 1975 to 2.78 tons in 2005. By the end of 2004/05, total rice production, area under cultivation and yield per unit area reached 4,289,800 metric tons, 1,541,700 hectares and 2.78 metric tons per hectare, respectively.

Cotton was successfully cultivated in 1972 in Lupandej district of Lumbini province of Nepal and then gradually expanded to the southeast and southwest.

6.Nepal consumer price list
:From Guangzhou, went to Nepal, traveled Kathmandu - Chitwan National Forest Park - Lumbini - Pokhara (by plane) - Kathmandu - Bardegaon - Nagarkot - Kathmandu. For the whole 14 days, I brought back a dog-leg knife and a couple of scarves. The total cost was about 8600 RMB, you can refer to it. Flying back to Kathmandu costs $93 for Pokhara. It would be much cheaper to take a bus back. Round trip airfare to Kathmandu is about 3600 RMB and paragliding in Pokhara is about 102 USD. Accommodation and food there is not expensive, though. It's fun. This price will give you an idea of what to expect, and with a bit more saving, I'd guess it could go from 5500 down to 6000.
