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...

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

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.
