Women travellers in Nepal

Women travellers in Nepal can ensure their safety by exhibiting positive behaviours. Avoid sharing personal belongings with guides, porters, and strangers. It is advisable to book trekking tour packages in Nepal only through reputable, licensed companies and tour operators. Be cautious of individuals who behave unsuitable while engaging in storytelling, gossiping, or discussions. Our team provides experienced guides to ensure your comfort and security. Feel free to inquire about safety measures before finalizing your holiday plans. Consider staying overnight with a group of fellow trekkers during your mountain expedition.

Female tourists in Nepal can feel secure when accompanied by a professional guide, Sherpa, or porter. Many of our guides have extensive experience in the tourism industry dating back to 2002. Mobile phone coverage is available in mountainous regions and major cities across Nepal, allowing solo travellers to contact the company or local authorities in case of an emergency. Despite a few exceptions, Nepali locals are known for their friendliness, sense of humour, and willingness to assist visitors. Unlicensed guides are not permitted to work in the tourism sector, ensuring that knowledgeable and trustworthy guides are readily available. The Nepalese government actively regulates the tourism industry to address any potential issues. We urge female travellers to consider their options before booking a holiday in Nepal.
