How safe is it to come to Nepal?
Even though the political situation in Nepal is not very stable, after careful evaluation of the situation we feel confident that it is safe to come to Kopan. Foreigners in general and tourists in particular have not been the target of any hostility. Of course everybody has to make this important decision for themselves, as Kopan cannot give any guarantees regarding future development. Certain common sense safety considerations should be followed, such as not travelling after dark, always letting other people know where you go, not trekking or walking in the hill areas alone, and avoiding areas that are particularly prone to trouble. We feel that Kopan is very safe and we have not experienced any problems so far.
