Traveling to Nepal

I am a graduating college student looking to take a trekking trip with a reputable tour company to Everest Base Camp. I am concerned about the level of safety in Nepal because I read a May 7th warning on www.state.gov. Is anyone there presently or can anyone give me any advice. I really want to make the trip.

Thanks

I think it takes some time for the bureaucrats of the state department to update the advisory. That is it. They are thinking of removing the negative travel advisory.

At present, the security situation in Nepal is good. You need not worry about it at present. A couple of days ago, I met with an Austrian woman who trekked for a month in the Everest region alone and she said that she did not feel threatened at any point of time throughout her stay there.

Traveling to Nepal

I just spent three weeks trekking in Nepal and was not troubled at any point on my trip, and I was a single woman traveling with only my guide. I walked the streets of Kathmandu without being hassled and the people in the mountains could not have been friendlier. I travel alot and considered it lif-changing. Go- you will not regret it.

you lucky thing

we did nepal last yr with 2 kids and fell in love with the place we are going back next year

have a look at our photos on our forum to see we had a great time

the people are great - didnt do EBC seemed abit hard work for us - we like oxygen

Have fun

I just got back from a trip to Nepal yesterday. Took my 5 kids and we went trekking to Gorepani and Poon Hill. We had a wonderful time in kathmandu, Pokhara and doing the trek!!! I too saw the state department%26#39;s warning and was a little concerned, but I have to tell you, at no point did I feel worried or unsafe. If you have any questions about my trip, etc, I%26#39;d be happy to tell you. I%26#39;d say go for it though! You%26#39;ll have a great time. Are you a guy or a girl? And are you going alone or with a friend?
