Nepal has rich culture and ethnicity. Weddings in Nepal varies from the religion and ethnic group. Nepal Tourism Package (NTP Tourism Affairs Ltd.) has a special wedding package for foreign couple willing to marry a Nepalese way.
This program is specially designed for the foreign couples willing to experience or follow Nepali marriage system. We have different marriage system in Nepal. Generally Hindu and Buddhist are more practiced marriage traditions of Nepal. In addition, Newari marriage system which is specially practiced in Kathmandu, lalitpur and Bhaktapur valley is popular among Newari ethnic community. Foreign couple, willing to get married in Nepal, can choose any of them. We are there for the complete arrangement.
During the ceremony, marriage Venue is decorated with colourful flowers and lights. Bridal colour is red. Bride is beautifully made up with much Jewellery and decorated net covering her head.
We would like to suggest interested couple to choose Pashupatinath Temple, Balaju Water Garden, Gujeshwari temple, Dakshinkali temple or Bhadrakali temple in Kathmandu and Bindhabasini temple in Pokhara to perform Hindu marriage ceremonies. Buddhist marriage ceremonies have distinct feature to differentiate from others. In Nepal, relatives from both bride and bridegroom's side gather together to participate the ceremony.
The Buddhist marriage ceremonies are organized at monastery. Both bridge and groom wore traditional wedding costumes. Lama (like Pandit in Hinduism) does all rituals to sanction the wedding. Environment of Monastery is made pleasant by lighting butter lamps. Traditional music is played during the wedding day. The new generations have started playing modern songs and music to celebrate wedding.
NTP arranges marriage program at different Monasteries inside and outside of Kathmandu Valley. Among them Monasteries at Namobuddha, Kapan, Swayambhunath and Boudhanath are more popular.
