No problem for women to travel alone to Nepal as long as they take a guide or porter from a trekking agency. This is because the trekking company is responsible for trekking and mountain climbing. Our agency staff will take good care of you, and they will provide you with a single tent during the tea house trek and during the climbing trek. But if you contact a freelance guide, then there are a lot of problems. They try to make chit for a single woman. As such, it is good to book a guide porter through an agency to ensure your safety during your holiday in Nepal.
