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.

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 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 .

It was one of the safest countries I ever visited. Everyone was kind, helpful, open, and smiley. The best views of the mountains, the best coconut ice cream cooked in restaurant in Katmandu. You can easily sleep even in the street and you will not get any harm

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.

It is a very cute city and vibrant, mixing a country ambient with all the modernities. If your accomodation is by the lakeside, the most touristic zone, you Will have plenty of restaurants. But I prefer not so crowded places to sleep, so I stayed in Sedi Village, 15 minutes from lakeside. It was like to have everything: to live in a quiet mountain and have all the amenities close.

It is safe i am out till 11 pm and the local markets here are easily open till 8-9 pm. I roam around the city at anytime, sometimes i need to go check some of my friends mid night and i really dont have to re think of going out.
