Taxi in Nepal

It is easy to get comfortable taxi in the major cities of Nepal. You’ll see white color taxi on the street. In some cities if you’re unable to get taxi then you can get a tempo as an alternative to cab. A tempo ride may be fun and new experience to you. You’ll find it in places like Hetauda. You’ll need to take care of your safety if you’re using a taxi during night time etc. It doesn’t mean taxi ride is unsafe in Nepal. If you’re using offline cab from taxi stand then there might not be any record of your ride. During daytime and in overcrowded people you’ll have no problem but during night time and if you’re a female solo traveler then you’ll need to think of your safety. Here, is Nepal people don’t spend night life as it is done at other parts of world. There will be few people on the streets after 8 PM and in small cities after 6 PM or 7 PM you’ll see less people. We don’t mean that it is dangerous to step outside after getting dark, we mean you’ll need to pay attention towards your safety.
