Is now a good time to travel to Nepal?

Question

Is is safe to travel to Kathmandu? I read there have been bombings almost every month in Nepal. Is it a very unsafe region? Also is it goingto be crazy raining as it is Monsoon season?

Answer 1

Many of the above posts have made point about the security situation being normal. Within a couple of days, we are going to have a full fledged government led by the former Maoist rebels. That should make things better. And this will also help to provide a strong government at the center.

The monsoon is not that bad. It has been raining mostly in the evenings. It is partly cloudy in the afternoons. I have not have to use umbrella that often during this monsoon season.

You might find this helpful to track the general weather conditions across Nepal.

Yes, Nepal is very safe country to Travel these days I think. Nepal face long decades of moist insurgency & eventually they came join to Nepal government. Which is really very good sign for Nepal & Nepali people. I wish Nepal will certainly be one of the safest countries in the world. I Love Nepal very much. Even during the Moist insurgency in Nepal there was no any hurt for Tourist. I had been there many times even when there was during moist was fighting with government.  But all the tourist areas were fully safe except some areas Moist collect some Donation form foreigners.

Nepal is really safe place to travel these days. Though August/September is Monsoon Season but you can still travel. You can get less crowded in this season & you get cheaper packages as it is still off Season. So I would like to suggest to plan you trip to Nepal accordingly.

As is per usual with frequent bombings, this situation radiates safety.

I definitely believe that you should go to Nepal. It is the safest place on earth and probably much safer than wherever you are right now.

Answer 4

dont worry..i heard its much safer now..even though i havent been there in like 2yrs....you'll have a great time.

Answer 5

What "TooToo" has said that's false. Because nowadays there is no problem with Tourist in Nepal. Once upon a time there was critical crisis. Maiost were fighting to demolish Monarchy. Obviously there is still verbal fighting amoungs big political players ( Actually I hate them) But that doesn't affect tourist much. I mean Tourist are safer to walk there. In Addition, If you do not like monsoon then you better come to Nepal during November, December, Currently lots of downfalls going on. That is you will have to decide whether you will like or not.

Answer 9

to be honest it will probably take a while for the hype to pipe down (rhyme :)) and if its in your head worrying, the chances are you wont enjoy your self as much

It is an unsafe region, there's people dying a lot of the time.

My advice would be to leave it until later, when you feel more confident and the situations are better.  

Answer 10

yes, its fine, theres always things in the news, but its a very safe city, and the people are very nice, its vary rare that you'll get mixed up in nepali politics or issues, also was there in monsoon, it rains on and offf, not all the time
