What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Kathmandu?

"In Kathmandu, it is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions. It is considered rude to show disrespect to elders, so it is important to show respect when interacting with them. It is also important to dress modestly, as revealing clothing is considered inappropriate. Additionally, it is important to avoid touching someone of the opposite gender, as this is considered offensive. Finally, it is important to avoid taking photographs of people without their permission, as this is considered intrusive," said a member in Kathmandu, Nepal.

"Yes - during our five hour wedding ceremony I occasionally used my left hand! But friends helped out - there were a lot of intricate mudras or handling of objects, and as I am ambidextrous, just using the right hand doesn't happen naturally for me," remarked another expat who made the move to Kathmandu, Nepal.
