Is Kathmandu safe for solo female travelers?

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.”

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.

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

Good experience in Kathmandu ! The city is safe, really cheap for a solo traveler. The hostel were about 3e per night with a breakfast included sometimes. The city is a bit busy, crowded and with a lot of animations so it can feel a bit weird when arriving for the first time there. It is a good place to connect to Pokhara or other cities in Nepal to go trekking or go on a safari.

Nepal is absolutely magical. I was in Kathmandu three years ago and I loved strolling around Durbar Squares during sunset, when vendors appeared on the streets and places came alive. Patan Durbar Square is my personal favourite; cardamom-spiced chai is a must-try there. Otherwise, my friends took me to the ancient capital of Bhaktapur during a one-day trip from Kathmandu - which I also highly recommend.

It is safe in the tourist areas. However, it’s better to not walk alone at midnight. If you are staying in the outskirts of valley, you need to be concerned about safety. Otherwise the city is pretty safe.

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
