Generally safe. Kathmandu has petty crime (pickpocketing in Thamel). The main risks are trekking-related: altitude sickness, weather, and remote trail conditions. Political protests (bandhs) occasionally shut down transport. Earthquake risk exists.

Generally safe. Kathmandu has petty crime (pickpocketing in Thamel). The main risks are trekking-related: altitude sickness, weather, and remote trail conditions. Political protests (bandhs) occasionally shut down transport. Earthquake risk exists.
Never drink tap water. Use bottled water or purification tablets/filters. On treks, water purification is essential — boiled water or SteriPen recommended.
Altitude sickness kills trekkers every year — take it seriously. Monsoon season (June–September) makes trekking dangerous and roads impassable. Earthquakes are a real risk. Political protests can shut down roads and flights with little notice.
Tip trekking guides (NPR 500–1,000/day) and porters (NPR 300–500/day). 10% at restaurants. Small tips at hotels. Tips are a significant part of income for service workers.
Modest and practical. Cover shoulders and knees at temples. Trekking requires proper gear — invest in good boots, layers, and waterproofs. Casual in Kathmandu.
Hindu and Buddhist traditions coexist beautifully. Walk clockwise around Buddhist stupas and mani walls. Remove shoes at all temples. Don't photograph religious ceremonies without permission. Cows are sacred — never harm or disrespect them.
