You also need to keep your belongings inside the temple locker to avoid theft cases.

 

  1. You need to carry flashlight because you may suffer from power cut as this is very often there. Total darkness can be dangerous during the trek for apparent reasons.

 

  1. Ladies and gents both must wear proper cloths because with skin tight clothes you cannot enter inside the temple. Minimal skin exposure is also often advised as a sign of respect to the culture of the country in general. Nepalese are little conservative and orthodox, so they do not allow inappropriate clothing within the temple complex.

 

  1. You must revolve around the temple in a clockwise direction, and this is only the tradition of this place. Anticlockwise directional movement is said to bring bad luck and is not allowed. If you get confused with the area, then you can also hire a professional guide who can help you to avoid mistakes, and your tour can be hassle-free.
