Papua New Guinea offers a unique tourism experience characterized by its stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage, making it an appealing option for some Nepali travelers. While the infrastructure is modest, the country's unspoiled landscapes attract those looking for authentic experiences. With 1.2 million Nepalese traveling abroad annually, a segment of this population may find Papua New Guinea to be an intriguing destination.
Papua New Guinea (PNG) is generally considered less safe for tourists compared to Nepal. According to the Global Peace Index, PNG ranks 113th out of 160 countries, while Nepal is ranked 78th. The murder rate in PNG is significantly higher, at 9.8 per 100,000 people, compared to Nepal's 2.1. In terms of organized crime, PNG has a lower score for mafia groups (1.0) but higher scores for crime networks (8.0) and state crime (8.0), indicating a more challenging environment. While both countries face issues with human trafficking and smuggling, PNG's overall crime landscape suggests that tourists should exercise caution and stay informed about safety measures when visiting.
