Nepal Rural Tour is one of the best tour packages to learn the real life, culture and tradition of Nepali people in the country side. The major destinations of Nepal rural tour are listed below.
Nepali villages are very close-knit communities. Everybody knows everybody
else, their family, and their ancestors. Often the communities are interlinked
by marriage too.
The
mountainous terrain of Nepal and the lack of roads means that getting around
takes time, and access to things like schools or hospitals is very difficult.
It’s not uncommon for children to have to spend two hours walking to school, or
for hospital to be a two day trek away.
As
a result, Nepali villages are largely self-dependent. There is little evidence
of the outside world – either very limited shops or none at all, no sign of the
government, no police or health-workers. Many have no electricity and few have
running water. If a Nepali wants something they normally have to do it
themselves.
This
separation has resulted in a diverse mass of ethnic groups, languages and
cultural practices. Often one village’s practices are different from the next,
even though they are only an hours walk apart.
As
such, it’s difficult to generalise, but one thing is common: it’s a very tough
life.

about life in a Nepali village
Villages
in Nepal are vibrant, noisy, and communal places and the social, economic, and
political centres of Nepali life.
Each
village is usually made up of a number of different ethnic groups living side
by side somewhat harmoniously, and who can trace back their history and
relationships within the community for at least several generations.
Often
village members are related to each other and to other villages in the region
and families often look for marital possibilities for their daughters and sons.
Villages are usually spread quite wide and the following graph shows how far
villagers must walk to reach amenities:
