Is Nepal safe for solo female travelers?

Nepal generally displays a welcoming and friendly environment. However, solo female travelers need to take standard precautions. While day-time touring is usually safe, it's not advised to travel alone at night. Stay in reputable accommodations and avoid secluded areas. Keep your personal belongings close and secure, and always inform someone about your itinerary. Check for local customs as well, to respect them and avoid any unintentional infractions.

How safe is Nepal for solo female travelers?

Travel safety index

4.1 /5

based on 27 experiences from female travelers

Nepal, Solo travel

Nepal has amazing scenic beauty. Try to capture it divsionally instead covering the entire country at once. You'll get lots of vegetarian option. It's very cheap for both food and stay but transportation is a bit pricey.

I've been traveling with "les aventureurs" to Népal last year and it was an amazing experience ! Népal is so beautiful, and calm I've been trekking in the mountains and it was wonderful The country is very poor but people are incredible by sharing and smiling You come back asking yourself what you're running after

Nepal is incredibly beautiful ❤️ Loved the mountains, the lakes. The food is to die for! Dal Bhat Power 24hours they say. The people are humble and very open minded. They are very grounded and fun loving. One should definitely go to Nepal once in their life and you would like to go back again and again.

Kathmandu

Comparatively Kathmandu is safe for women, ofc you need to avoid very shady places and not everyone is perfect but overall people are very helpful and would stand up for you if someone misbehaves and definitely safe to go out at night too. It always helps to be aware of situations though

I would say it's pretty safe in general but of course there are instances of crimes and violence everywhere esp being a woman.So please stay safe even if Nepal in general I would say is a pretty safe destination with friendly people to help .
