Nepal may have had been hit by a devastating earthquake but that’s not what Nepal is all about.  Almost a month ago, on 25^th April 2015, Nepal was hit by a devastating earthquake with following aftershocks, with its epicenter at Barpak.  The durbar squares suffered damages and the historical Dharahara collapsed. There were disastrous effects in and around Kathmandu with places that were historical sites and popular tourist destinations being ruined.

      But after a month, if you ask is it safe to visit Nepal then yes it is safe to visit Nepal. Why is it safe to visit Nepal after the Earthquake? Let me give you 10 reasons why Nepal is safe to visit after the earthquake.

1. Out of 75 districts in Nepal only about 10 districts are affected by the recent earthquake with the earthquake having its effect on the central and western districts only. There has been hardly no damages in the Eastern part, the Mid-West and Far West part of Nepal. Nepal has a lot more places to see, that would be exciting, adventurous and beautiful which would make your stay and travel at Nepal really amazing.

So yes, its true Nepal was hit by an earthquake that had a disastrous effect but now the country needs your help to recover from it and the best way how you can help Nepal recover is not cancel your travel plans to Nepal and go visit. Yes, it is true that few popular travel destinations have suffered damages due to the earthquake but you can have your little contribution to rebuild this heavenly paradise and now is the time you can help  and that’s by visiting Nepal.

      Thinking of cancelling your travel plans to Nepal because the historic Dharahara has fallen or because you cannot travel to Sindhupalchowk now, isn’t reason enough to cancel your travel to Nepal. Nepal is a far lot more than that. You can always visit the beautiful places in the other safe and unaffected districts in Nepal, like maybe go for a bio diversity tour in Chitwan or enjoy a lovely trip to Pokhara.
