How safe is Nepal?
– Nepal is one of the safest places in the world. Violent crimes are very rare, and the only real concern to a traveler is petty theft. However, if you take basic common sense precaution, there is nothing to fear. Do not bring valuable things with you unless necessary for your trip. Keep your money and other valuables in a money belt or pouch strapped around your waist. Lock your bags and luggage. Moreover, if you join with us to organize your trip, you do not have to be worried for all of above things. We will help and take care concerning all about your safety and security. .
Nepal is getting safer since 2006 especially after the peace negotiation between rebels and governments. However, still you will see political unrests in Nepal . Global Crossroad volunteers planning to go to Nepal should know that transportation strikes are a popular means of attracting political attention in Nepal . These strikes severely hamper transportation and can occur without notice. Global Crossroad has no control over these events. More about Travel Safety to Nepal International travel does present risks, especially with the threat of international terrorism. The U.S. State Department has issued travel warnings and advisories in many countries for U.S. travelers. These travel advisories and warnings change frequently as situations in each country change.
