Mindful meoweler tips

Namaste is the way to say hello!

In Nepal, it is common to greet others with 'Namaste' which means 'I bow to the divine in you'. It's a respectful and warm greeting.

Traffic is a jungle (not literally)

Expect heavy traffic, pollution and stray animals on the streets. Always look both ways before crossing!

A hidden gem: Garden of Dreams

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and relax in this beautiful garden. It costs 200 NPR to enter and is open from 9 am to 10 pm.
