Nepal is known as the "state of festivals". Almost every few days there is a festival, sometimes even a festival followed by a festival, which is rare in the world. There are more than 300 national festivals in Nepal. Few countries in the world like Nepal stop daily work for festivals. Nepalese spend almost one-third of their time preparing for festivals every year. Most festivals of Nepal originate from the worship of various gods. The government stipulates that there are more than 50 holidays. Any tourist can experience the local religious culture and traditional customs by participating in different festivals of Nepalese.
