How safe is it to take a vacation to Nepal at present time?

Question

Hi, everyone!

Just wandering, for those who travel to Nepal or live there:

How safe is it for travelling there at this moment? Would you recommend to go there for the trip? Will it be still safe to go there in upcoming years?

Thank you

Answer 1

It is safe to go. in the past,  the Maoist rebels were creating trouble in the country but the rebels had never harmed any foreigners before, the most serious thing they had done to a foreign tourist was a little extortion. During that time , as a tourist safety wasn't much of an issue  but probably your movement would be a little restricted as some roads were blocked and they were many police checkpoints, for a short period, there was even a curfew.The situation in the country now has improved a lot eventhough the problems with the rebels had not been fully alleviated.

Answer 2

i wouldnt suggest going there man....trust me...

Answer 3

Check with the British embassy for advice on the current political situation in Nepal....

Personally i wouldn't advise on going there.... It is a dangerous place at present, that's what i have heard anyway

Answer 6

Dont just flow with the rumours.

Nepal is a safe place for tourists, only Neplese are the one who are suffering. Your life wont be at risk, but be cautitous that u will have to pay time and again to different groups unnecessarily.   This is no problem coz. u wont feel that expensive when you pay in Neplese rupees NRs.

You can enjoy mountaineering, trekking, boating, rafting and many onther things besides like the eversest, mountains, lakes, ponds, temples, monestries, national parks, conservation areas, elephat ride. Also have a look to one- horned rhino. You will feel close to mother nature.

I assure you , you will really have a different experience for which u will never regret.

Have a nice trip!!!
