Nepal is a generally safe place to explore. However, as in any unfamiliar place, it’s best to avoid walking alone at night – particularly in low-lit areas.
Consult your GP or travel health clinic well before departure to check on recommended vaccinations, which may include typhoid and hepatitis A, plus meningitis if trekking to outlying areas.
Mosquitoes are prevalent below 1,200m and can cause only minor irritation. Carry insect repellent with you and antihistamines, avoid areas of stagnant water (lagoons, lakes, river banks) where mosquitoes are likely to breed. Do consider taking antimalarials.
Heat can be dangerous: cover up, use sunblock and always ensure you have plenty of water.
Stick…
