Nepal is an appealing destination for some Iranian travelers, thanks to its rich culture and stunning natural scenery. Although the country has faced challenges in attracting a steady stream of international visitors, the annual 1.6 million Iranians traveling abroad indicates that a portion may find Nepal intriguing.
Nepal is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Iran. According to the Global Peace Index, Nepal ranks 78th out of 160 countries, which is significantly safer than Iran's ranking of 131st. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rates are comparable, with Iran at 2.2 per 100,000 people and Nepal at 2.1. The Global Organized Crime Index indicates that Nepal has lower scores in several categories related to organized crime compared to Iran, suggesting a less severe crime environment overall. For instance, Nepal scores 4.5 for mafia groups and 6.5 for crime networks, while Iran scores 7.0 and 7.5, respectively. Overall, while no destination is without risks, Nepal is relatively safer for tourists than Iran based on these metrics.
