Changing currency
Contexto cultural
Exchanging money is often a social interaction. Don't be surprised if the money changer asks where you are from or where you are trekking. Banks in Nepal have specific hours for 'Foreign Exchange' (usually 10 AM to 3 PM). Always bring your passport. During festivals, people specifically exchange old notes for new ones to offer to deities and elders. This is seen as auspicious. In small villages, 'Paisa Sāṭnu' might be difficult because cash is scarce. It is polite to buy something small before asking for change.
Check the Rate
Always check the official Nepal Rastra Bank website for the daily rate before you 'Paisa Sāṭnu'.
Torn Notes
Be careful! If you 'Paisa Sāṭnu' and get torn notes, many shops won't accept them. Ask for clean ones.
