Is Nepal safe for women?
Pt
Kathmandu
Kathmandu is pretty safe for a woman traveling solo. The people are really kind and helpful. However, after dark, it might be risky to travel in a few places so I would suggest taking caution. However during day, it’s pretty safe all over Kathmandu, the people don’t make you uncomfortable.

It is safe during day time but few cancelling can happen but at night in quiet areas it's a bit worrisome but I do feel safe walking alone and using the transport alone as well Nepal is a conservative country so helps when you dress more modestly

Nepal, Solo travel
It was amazing. I had such a great time. Nepal is so peaceful and everything is super cheap, people are friendly. I would go there anytime anyday if you ask me. Best for hiking, solo trips etc. Internet is very bad though.

Kathmandu, Solo travel
I spent a week in Kathmandu. I felt super safe the whole time I was there. One of my favourite activities was to walk through the streets just enjoying being one of the crowd. The city was very dusty but the people were very friendly. One fantastic experience I had was in my search for a kushti I stopped in this little shop which was about as big as a cupboard. The young man tending the store was super helpful - he unwrapped everyone one of the mountains of packages to find me a kushti that was suitable before introducing me to his sister and sharing tea. My only regret from Kathmandu was not taking advantage of an App that enables you to hire a motorbike to take you around. A wonderful place to visit
