Nepal army knife, namely Nepal machete, or more precisely Gurkha machete. Accompanied by a wonderful story, a brave legend. Gurkha is the national sword of Nepal. There is a big difference between a first-class genuine product and a souvenir. The price depends on the inlaid ornaments and handwork of the blade and knife cover. The machete used by Gurkha soldiers has a small V-shaped dent at the bottom of the blade body, which can guide the drawn blood and avoid polluting the handle. And there are two knives on the back of the knife cover, which are used to cut things. True and false Gurkha machetes abound, among which the three capitals and eight directions are the most, but the quality is mixed. You should appreciate them more before buying them, and of course, bargain harder.

Thangka's paintings are extremely complicated and the materials used are also very exquisite. Pigments are all natural mineral plant raw materials, with bright and lasting colors and strong snow scene style.
At present, Thangka paintings in Kathmandu are mostly painted for tourists, and some of them have been fumigated, which makes people think they are ancient paintings. Is Thangka based on the religious belief of Tibetan Buddhism or a tribute to God? O, describing long hutong paintings with festivals as the theme. The painting style is exquisite and accurate, even if it is not a religious object, it is still a work of art, and the real Thangka painting is not easy to buy.

Corn, wheat, barley and millet.
Rice is one of the main food crops in Nepal. Most of the producing areas are concentrated in Wright Plain, and three seasons can be harvested in a year. In the middle and late 1980s, the planting area continued to expand, and many hilly and valley areas began to grow rice on a large scale. The output per hectare increased from 1975 to10.98 tons to 2.78 tons in 2005. By the end of 2004/05, the total output, planting area and yield per unit area of rice reached 4,289,800 metric tons, 1.54 1.700 hectares and 2.78 metric tons per hectare respectively. Therefore, agriculture in Nepal and the United States is backward, and the unit output has been very low (only 185 kg per mu).
Corn is also one of the main food crops in Nepal, which is mainly planted in Leyte Plain and Valley. By the end of 2004/05, the total output, planting area and output per unit area of corn reached 17 16000 metric tons, 849,900 hectares and 2.02 metric tons/hectare respectively.

1972, cotton was successfully planted in Lupandei County, Lumbini Province, Nepal, and then gradually expanded to the southeast and southwest regions. Since 1984, cotton planting has developed greatly, but due to the high planting cost, cotton planting is far from forming a scale.

6. Consumer price list in Nepal
: From Guangzhou, I went to Nepal and went to Kathmandu-Chitawang National Forest Park-Lumbini-Boccara (by plane)-Kathmandu-Badgaon-Nagakout-Kathmandu. For 14 days, I brought back a dogleg knife and several scarves. The total cost is about 8600 yuan, you can refer to it. It costs 93 dollars to fly back to Kathmandu, Boccara. It will be much cheaper to come back by car. The round-trip air ticket to Kathmandu is about 3600 RMB, and the paraglider to Boccara is about 102 USD. The accommodation there is not expensive, but. This is very interesting. This price can be used as your reference. If you save some money, it is estimated that it can be reduced from 5500 to 6000.
