The souvenirs sold in Nepal are full of souvenirs, weird, mainly in the Tibetan Buddhist and Hindu artifacts and decorations of Tibetan Buddhism in China, and of course, as well as local handicrafts in Nepal. Gedman is a place where shoppers often have unexpected harvests. Children sell Gurka knife, belt, and copper plate. Where there are tourists, there are street vendors who sell handicrafts to you. The businessmen are waiting for the temple steps. Cheap goods, antique things, and souvenirs are everywhere. Every store goes in and looks at it. If you are satisfied, you can buy it. If you do n’t like it, you will leave. The store still smiles and gets up to send the guests.
