With the law getting stricter for females who want to travel or work outside of Nepal, what is it like to travel alone within the country then?

If we look at Nepal’s culture, families are very reluctant when it comes to a girl travelling alone.

But why, you ask?

Well, ladies know what their family would say!

It is not safe, take your brother with you even when you just go to the shop, or don’t get out of the house once it is dark.

However, is telling the girls not to go, really the solution? Has this fact really changed anything?

There is a saying, ‘What you do makes a difference. And you can decide what kind of a difference you want to make.’

But one cannot stay home and hope everything becomes perfect.

Yes, a woman travelling alone in Nepal is not easy but it is not impossible as well.

There are many who have proven that the societal norms of how a lady should not travel alone because it is not safe, is wrong.

Talking to a few of the solo female travellers in Nepal about what was their inspiration and their experience like, they all put an emphasis on how before going out alone, you have to be prepared for anything.
