Based on these study findings, in order to create data sets that accurately include the Nepali sexual and gender minority population, we recommend that survey designers and administrators consider:

• including sexual orientation and gender identity terms on survey instruments that are culturally appropriate and inclusive;
• when possible, allowing respondents to self-select the term they want to use to identify their gender, including selecting more than one term;
• adding definitions of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) terms to all manuals, guides, and implementation instructions to ensure terms are understood and explained respectfully during survey interviews;
• placing SOGI-related measures on surveys so that the questionnaire has appropriate questions for that population and does not inadvertently exclude sexual and gender minority respondents;
• training all survey administrators on the meanings of the SOGI terms and instructions for asking about them, especially in instances where the definitions of the terms carry

  In A Historic Step, Nepal Ratifies Modern Constitution That Includes LGBT Protections

  HRC hails victory for Nepali LGBT activists, welcomes new era of greater equality in Nepal

   

  WASHINGTON – Today, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), America’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization, hailed the passage of a new constitution in Nepal that provides explicit protections for LGBT people from discrimination, violence, and abuse--a historic first for a nation in Asia.  Nepal joins only a handful of countries, including South Africa and Ecuador, that hold enshrined equal rights protections for LGBT people in their national constitutions.

  The gay beacon of South Asia!

  Nepal ranks as one of our favorite destinations. Not only does it possess some of the most astonishing scenery we've ever seen, but it's also a very gay-friendly country – at least by Asian standards…

  It may come as a surprise, but Nepal has for years been a beacon for LGBTQ rights across what is a very conservative part of Asia. Nepal's constitution in introduced a whole set of anti-discrimination laws to protect its LGBTQ community, and Pride parades have grown massively in popularity over the past decade.

  Gastronomy Guide

A lesser known one from the Newari community, Newari Khaja, is a between-meal snack plate with a mini smorgasbord of dishes (veggie, meats, rice) that was traditionally consumed on adj occasions.
