Is it safe to travel in Nepal?

In general yes, it is safe to travel to Nepal. However it is helpful to keep some points in mind. Since the Earthquake of April 25th 2015 some buildings have been damaged and are structurally compromised. In some of the trekking areas, although the “path” is open the lodges along the way have been damaged and may not be wholly safe. However, if you use practical discernment, come prepared (for example to camp in some trekking regions) and keep in mind that you are visiting a country that has recently undergone a major natural disaster, then you will likely not only keep safe but also helpfully contribute to the local economy which is much needed for a full recovery to happen in the country. It is important to keep in mind that further Earthquakes are highly probable in Nepal. If you have health considerations or experience anxiety easily I would not recommend visiting to Nepal at this time – look at supporting us in other ways than actually visiting!
