Is Nepal LGBTQ+ friendly?
In Nepal, same-sex relationships are legal, same-sex marriage is legal and discrimination against LGBTQ+ people is prohibited. Equaldex gives Nepal an Equality Index of 71 out of 100.
Source: Equaldex, checked 2 October 2026.
Nepal is the most progressive country in South Asia for LGBTQ+ rights. Its Supreme Court recognized a third gender category in 2007, and in 2023 a court order allowed the first same-sex marriages to be registered, making Nepal one of a handful of Asian countries where same-sex couples can marry.
Kathmandu has a small, visible community and an annual Pride parade, and travelers rarely encounter problems. Nepali society is still traditional, especially in rural areas and the mountains, and public affection of any kind is uncommon, so keep it low-key on treks and in villages.
The lodges and hotels we use in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan and along the trekking routes are used to international couples, and we choose properties and guides where same-sex couples are welcomed.

Most LGBTQ+ Friendly Countries in Asia: Thailand, Taiwan, Japan & More
Gay travel in Asia is a story of contrasts. Thailand now has marriage equality and one of the region’s most visible LGBTQ+ travel scenes. Taiwan became the first place in Asia to legalise same-sex marriage in 2019. Yet in Japan, where Tokyo has one of the world’s largest concentrations of gay bars, same-sex couples still cannot marry nationally.

General information
The perfect destination for those who are seeking a true authentic experience. The neverending list of adventurous journeys to embark on make it a wonderful country to discover if you love exploring new places.
There is, of course, the iconic Annapurna Circuit Trek, or venture on a trek to the Everest Base camp. Head to Kathmandu to experience the beautiful temples, draped in colourful prayer flags and the Hanuman Dhoka which is Kathmandu’s Royal Palace.
Head to Lumbini to see the Maya Devi Temple which sits on the site of the Buddha’s birth. When visiting, you must remove your shoes at the gate as a sign of respect.
For those seeking a wildlife experience, then head to the Chitwan National Park where you will find herds of elephants roaming the park along with other animals including leopards and sloth bears.

What Everyone Does In Nepal
A trip to Kathmandu is a must. If you like learning about new cultures then Kathmandu is the perfect place with its unique Buddhist temples. If you can’t wait to get stuck into something adventurous then Kathmandu is famous for having an excellent white water rafting experience.
What Some People Do In Nepal
Chitwan National Park has a specific part of the park dedicated to elephant breeding. This centre is around 3km west of Sauraha. Get up close to these majestic animals and watch the fascinating interaction between the mothers and their babies.
What No One Else Does In Nepal
Quite a few people make it to Everest Base camp, but climbing the tallest mountain in the world is really a task for those who have been in serious training and are mentally and physically unbreakable! With oxygen levels at almost 40% less than what they are at sea-level, this climb is extreme. We wouldn’t recommend it!
Getting to Nepal
Getting to Kathmandu usually means a stopover, either in the Middle East or Asia.
