Is Kathmandu Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Kathmandu

Kathmandu is safe but you need to take precautions. Most people are really friendly and will try to help you. But there are also tourist traps and some sellers might charge you more than the original price. Walking at night alone is not recommended though. Almost everything shuts down at 9 and the streets are dark and empty unless you are in some happening areas like Thamel.

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

Solo travel

Yeah it's a safe place but yeah be careful there might be accident due to excessive vehicles on road. Food was also well served as well as people are kind and helpful.Kathmandu felt like a living tapestry of tradition, energy, and warmth. I didn’t want to leave—but I had to float back to the cloud.”

Solo travel

I was sightseeing with two other tourists so I guess I felt safe but you will get approached by people/kids on the street trying to convince you to buy something. Everything’s pretty cheap which might make you want to get everything haha but definitely expect to spend some money on souvenirs.
