Please answer the following question: How safe is Nepal for tourists coming from Lesotho?
Nepal is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Lesotho. According to the Global Peace Index, Nepal ranks 78th out of 160 countries, making it safer than Lesotho, which ranks 123rd. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Nepal is significantly lower at 2.1 per 100,000 people compared to Lesotho's 43.6. The Global Organized Crime Index also indicates that while both countries face challenges, Nepal has a higher score (indicating worse conditions) in categories like state crime (8.5) and foreign crime (7.0) compared to Lesotho's scores.
