Clause 1 is a principal clause that forms a complete sentence standing
alone, having a subject and a predicate. ‘Akhil went to Nagarkot’. This
clause makes sense.

But clause 2 is entirely dependent on the first clause for its existence. If
we write only clause 2, it doesn’t make sense.
Because he was on holiday.

Dependent clauses begin with a conjunction like if, because, when,
since, though, unless, while, in case, after, as soon as, so that, etc.
Principal clauses are joined by but, and, so, for, or, nor, etc.
