Nepal Festivals

There are more than 50 major festivals in a year celebrated in Nepal. Festivals in Nepal begin with religion, ending as social event. Although most of these festivals are religious some have historical significance, while others are seasonal and legendary celebrations.

It is not hard to catch colorful processions in different streets of the Valley almost every other day of the week.
