Safety is the primary concern for solo female travel

Although, Nepal is the safest country for solo female travelers. You won’t feel regret while walking, hiking, and exploring the different places of Nepal. People are welcoming, they will guide you if you are solo on any trip and even you get a chance to meet so many solo female travelers on the way actually. However, while traveling in Nepal, for the safety concern, get all the necessary information of the trails, collect all the necessary emergency contact no, as much as possible book the trip with a local travel agency, or ask all the necessary help from them before you leave for any trips. For common robberies and other crimes, you can use your own common sense as well, though these are not very common in Nepal. Besides this, earthquakes, avalanches in mountains, landslides, and floods during the monsoon season are frequent in Nepal. So, as a solo female traveler or normal traveler, these things should be kept in mind, and take the necessary precautions.

 

Know about culture and religions

Nepal is mostly Hindu, Buddhist, and a few other religions though it’s a secular state but deeply religious country as compared to European and western countries. So, it is very essential that dress modestly, basically while visiting temples, monasteries, stupas and festivals, and big occasions. In Nepalese culture “Namaste” is the first greeting ( by holding your palms together in front of your chest) is the respectful way to say hello and further communication. Nepalese men are mostly respectful and protective especially for solo female travelers whether you are in high mountains or on any cultural and religious tours.  There will be exceptions sometimes but in most of the places in Nepal, there are no negative feelings towards the solo female travels in Nepal. 

Trekking is safe for solo females?

If you are trekking in undiscovered trails and unexplored routes in high mountains, for both men and women, it is advisable to take a guide or assistance from a local travel agency. Not only in those trails but also in the popular trails like Annapurna Region, Everest Region, and many more popular trekking trails in Nepal. For safety and high mountains are always dangerous for all the trekkers including solo and group because of landscape, trails, weather and so many other factors. With the proper information, guidance, and knowledge of the routes, you can make your dream true in Nepal.
