Safety Tips

Home >Travel Guide > Useful Info & Tips > Safety Tips

The people of Nepal are simple, friendly and peace loving. So on the whole Nepal is an extremely safe place to travel around even on your own. However taking a few precautions can help avoid any untoward incident.

Precautions

•	Preferably do not leave any valuables out in the open as temptation induces crime.
•	Do not carry too much in cash as far as possible. Make use of your credit cards instead.
•	Avoid Maoist pockets in Nepal. Though there have never been any incidents of attacks on tourists, avoid travelling alone in these areas.

Safety for Women

•	Nepali people are conservative by nature. Avoid wearing skimpy clothes to avoid any unwanted attention.
•	Avoid travelling alone in the dark.

While Trekking

For up-to-date infomation on trekking conditions and health risks there are associations like the Himalayan Rescue Association (HRA) and the Kathmandu Environment Education Process (KEEP) to help you.

Theft

Though the chances of a theft are rare, but just in case of a mishap, go to Interpol (ph: 412602) at the Police Headquarters in Naxal, Kathmandu.

Tourist Police

A special unit of the Nepal Police, the Tourist Police is trained specially to assist visitors with security and travel related problems. An English-speaking officer on duty is just a call away between 11am and 5pm at 247041. These officers are also stationed at all the major tourist sites, and their blue van is always on constant patrol.
