Yes, Nepal is safe for travelers, with friendly locals and a welcoming atmosphere for tourists. Nepal is one of the safest country to travel either in cities or himalayas (tour / trek). 

Trekking routes are well-established and safe, especially with guides, though travelers should be cautious about altitude sickness, unpredictable weather, and basic road conditions. By taking normal precautions, following local advice, and having proper travel insurance, visitors can explore Nepal’s cities, culture, and mountains with peace of mind.

The official currency is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR). Cash is preferred in remote areas. Cards are accepted in cities, but ATM access can be limited in mountain regions.

In Nepal, respect for local traditions and customs is deeply valued. Dress modestly, especially when visiting temples, monasteries, or rural villages—shoulders and knees should be covered. Remove your shoes before entering homes, temples, and sacred spaces. Avoid touching anyone on the head, as it’s considered the most sacred part of the body. When giving or receiving something—especially food or money—use your right hand or both hands together, as the left hand is seen as unclean. Public displays of affection are frowned upon, and always ask before taking photos of people or religious ceremonies. Showing respect goes a long way and will be warmly appreciated by locals.

Nepal offers a rich variety of food, from traditional foods like Dal Bhat (rice, lentils, vegetables, and curry), momo dumplings, thukpa noodle soup, sel roti, and rural favorites like gundruk and dhido, to unique Newari dishes such as samay baji, yomari, and buff sukuti. In Himalayan regions, Tibetan-inspired foods like tingmo, yak cheese, and butter tea are popular, while cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara serve a wide range of international cuisines including Indian, Tibetan, Chinese, Continental, and even vegan options. For quick bites, street foods like chatpate, sekuwa, burgers, sandwich and aloo tama are widely enjoyed.
