I will be travelling solo to Nepal at the end of September and was wondering if anyone had any advice for travelling as a woman? what to expect, places to avoid, how to handle difficult situations, trekking alone, etc. Any tips would be much appreciated!

I am also looking into doing some volunteer work for awhile while I'm there. It's been somewhat difficult to contact NGOs and organizations via internet, and have been told it's easier to go to Kathmandu and to the research in person. Anyone have contacts they would like to share?

Thanks so much! Happy travels everyone. Peace.

Nepal is fully Safe country to travel for sole women. Many sole westerners visit Nepal every year & they do trekking in the high Himalayas with Male Guide for days to days. There is no any sexual harassment. But in the same time you should respect the Culture too. This is highly appreciated though Nepalese women more fashionable & more westernize. You can travel & work in Nepal with out any anxious. <snip>

Hi Mel,

Thanks much for the threads. It was great to see such varied perspectives regarding cultural sensitivities and feminism issues. I have done quite a bit of research and although this will be my debut to solo travelling, I do believe am not naive to what I may, or may not, encounter.

I am also new to this amazing Travelblog website. Best resource yet!
