The Nepalese people are always extremely appreciative of visitors who are respectful to their culture and who make an effort to understand it and abide by it.

                                   " अथिति देवो भव : "
                                 (athiti debwo bhawa)

(Means visitors are the form of the God. So, they are always keeping that saying in the first place.)

Going through the evidence, Nepal was inhabited in prehistoric times as per as archeological research. In the late 8th century BC, Indian migrant settled in the region of Kathmandu. Then it was consolidated by the Licchavi Dynasty. They then introduced the Hindu traditions and culture. By the 13th century, Malla Dynasty came in control and dominated the Kathmandu Valley. For over the next five hundred years, the Malla rulers ruled the valley. This ruling time has been proved to be important for the development of the arts, decorated temples and palaces that survive to these days. Throughout the many centuries, Nepal's topography has benefited and protected the country from outside invaders. To the north Himalayan range provided an impenetrable boundary, and in the south endemic malaria in the Terai  makes outsiders an unfavorable options. Nepal has different topological diversity hence causing the diversity throughout the country. Different culture and traditions are practised in Nepal.

As a popular saying of Prithivi Narayan Shah,

               " नेपाल चार जात, छत्तीस वर्णको साझा फूलबारी हो "

 Nepal is hence divided into the caste system.  4 caste and 36 sub caste systems.
