[OSM-np] tagging nepal specific items

[Rajeev Amatya]

what about the small chowks in patan area that are surrounded by buildings.
shall we use the same highway=pedestrian and area=yes?

any other nepal specific items that need discussion?
how to tag small shrines, temples, gumba, monastery? any better way?
