I have traveled solo in Nepal and have never felt unsafe. A lot of the locals were even friendly and accommodating; in fact, there’s a low rate of serious crime in the country. Nevertheless, petty crime can happen due to the number of tourists so it’s best to stay vigilant and to stay street smart at all times.
