Communication and Language

The official language of Nepal is Nepali, which is used by the majority of the population of a country. Traveling is not a problem since even in the most popular tourist areas such as Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan, a lot of locals, including tourism workers, show good English speaking skills, which means communication with them should not be a problem.

And it is good and pleasant to get to know some very basic Nepali words and practices such as the greeting word; Namaste (Hello), thanking people; Dhanyabad (Thank you), and a well-wishing question; Sanchai cha?” (How are you?). Such little things will lead to the way of friendly conversations and neighborhood hospitality.

Regarding connectivity, having a local SIM card is easy and cheap. The bigger suppliers, such as Ncell and Nepal Telecom, have solid coverage and cellular information plans that are helpful in cities and numerous trekking areas. Most hotels, cafes, and restaurants have free Wi-Fi and there are fluctuations in the speed. By possessing mobile data, you have the liberty to move around, translate and connecting in the process as you are on the move.
