Bedeutung
The act of ascending a tree.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Climbing trees is a daily necessity for gathering 'ghas' (fodder) for livestock. It is often done by women and young men using a 'hasiya' (sickle). During Dashain, the 'Linge Ping' (bamboo swing) is a major attraction. Skilled youths climb tall trees or bamboo poles to secure the thick grass ropes. Pipal and Bar trees are sacred. While people might sit under them, climbing them for wood is generally taboo as they are seen as the abode of Lord Vishnu. The Bel tree is central to the Newar 'Ihi' ceremony. While the fruit is usually picked by professionals, the tree itself is venerated.

Ergative Error
Don't use '-le' with 'chadhnu' when talking about climbing. It's 'U rukh chadhyo', not 'Usle'.
