Nepal Festival Tours and Treks

Nepal is not only known for its Himalayas but also very popular for its unique culture, tradition, and religious festivals. There are more than 50 festivals celebrated in Nepal each year. While the national festivals have fixed dates, religious and cultural festivals are set by astrologers following the lunar calendar. The best part about the festivals in Nepal is that all the events are celebrated with the same enthusiasm and in large numbers the way they used to be hundreds of years ago when people had no other means of entertainment. Even today festivals are not only the yearly spectacles but also part of a rich cultural legacy. Celebrating festivals effectively unites people having diverse cultural backgrounds together and this is also a chance to share their social lives. Although most of these festivals are religious some have historical significance too.
