Safety for solo women travelers in Nepal
Nepal is a very safe country compared with numerous other nations. Indeed, even on the trek, many solo female voyagers saw trekking alone or with the guide. Remember a couple of things while you are here and you will be most likely sheltered. Don’t stroll around during the late-night wherever you want either in Kathmandu, Pokhara or in the mountains. Come back to your lodging or guesthouses on time.
Nepal does not have numerous instances of assaults, murders or torments with visitors. Nepal is a poor nation so individuals here feel that all vacationers are so rich. Try not to convey bunches of resources and loads of cash with you. It is smarter to convey a little amount of cash and get from Visa card at whatever point you require more. In another hand, you can keep the cash in the lodging, lock your room appropriately and don't keep your windows open. Likewise, make sure to keep the numbers of traveler police. It will be less demanding in the event that you have to get in touch with them.
