Safety & Scams
Generally safe for tourists; the primary hazards are natural (altitude sickness and trek-related risks); always trek with a guide in remote areas; be cautious of monkeys at temples (they can be aggressive); healthcare is adequate in Kathmandu but very limited in the mountains; ensure your travel insurance covers helicopter rescue.
Getting Around
Domestic flights to mountain airstrips (like Lukla) are common for trekkers; long-distance buses connect major cities but roads can be rough and winding; rickshaws and taxis are popular in cities; trekking is the only way to reach many mountain villages.
Cultural Etiquette
Greetings involve 'Namaste' with hands pressed together; remove shoes before entering temples or homes; circumnavigate Buddhist stupas clockwise; avoid touching people with your feet; ask permission before taking photos of people.
Internet & Connectivity
Digital infrastructure is reliable in Kathmandu and Pokhara; 4G is widely available via Ncell and Nepal Telecom; connectivity is surprisingly good on popular trekking routes (Everest/Annapurna) but drops in remote valleys; many guest houses offer Wi-Fi, often for a small fee.
