Nepal boasts a rich cultural heritage and stunning natural scenery, making it an appealing destination for some Belgian travelers. While the country has faced challenges in attracting a consistent flow of international visitors, a portion of the 8.6 million Belgians who travel abroad annually may find Nepal intriguing.
Nepal is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from Belgium. According to the Global Peace Index, Nepal ranks 78th out of 160 countries, while Belgium ranks significantly higher at 16th. Although there is no specific data on safety while walking alone at night in Nepal, the murder rate in Nepal is higher than in Belgium, with 2.1 per 100,000 people compared to Belgium's 1.1. In terms of organized crime, Belgium has lower indices across various categories compared to Nepal, indicating that crime networks and state crime are more prevalent in Nepal. For example, Nepal scores 8.5 for state crime, while Belgium scores 2.0. While tourists can generally travel safely in Nepal, it's advisable to remain vigilant and informed about local conditions, especially regarding crime and safety.
