Sex Tourism in Nepal

Sex Tourism in Nepal – Possible Areas 

Here below are some of the suspicious places inside Kathmandu Valley. These places are mentioned in my blog post because Nepal police have a track record of the sexual activities in these places.
Thamel: Being a tourist hub, Thamel comes in the top list of sex tourism in Nepal. There are few massage parlor in the town who are selling sex under the banner of massage. Besides this, there is some night bar who are somehow involved in such activities.
But the involvement of the Dance bar is low. There used to be police raid in such places but the arrangement is rare now compared to a few years ago. But if you are looking for nightlife in Thamel then there are plenty of Club, Dance Bar, Dohori and pubs in the town for entertainment.
Sundhara: Sundhara is popular for the cheap guest house which lies in the heart of Kathmandu. The popular landmark, Dharahara is being destroyed in the earthquake of 2015.
It is believed that there, some sex trade will happen in the hotel and around the nearby in Sundhara. This statement is also been justified by the arrest of the couple from the hotel by a police raid.
Gongabu Bus Park: Gongabu Bus Park is the largest bus park of Nepal which connects the other cities with capital. Thousands of people use this bus station to reach their destination. Guesthouse, narrow road is used to bargain the sex for the sex workers.
Baglung Bus Park Pokhara: Besides Kathmandu, Pokhara bus park is one of the fertile area for prostitution. There are also some records where police discovered under age child who were forced to work as prostitution while raid.
Many girls from the rular village are lured to the beautiful town and forced to work as sex worker in Pokhara. Which is discovered by different reports and investigation.
Pokhara is one of the beautiful city in Nepal. Which has pelnty of things to attract visitors towrds it. To name some, Lake, Paragliding, Trekking, Sightseeing, Bunjy Jump, Zipper Flyer are some.
Due to the police’s high movement in such location, the trade is highly decreased these days according to different reports.

Conclusion

Every nation has some sex trade between two partner’s mutual understanding but Sex Tourism is a different term. So Nepal does not welcome any tourist who is seeking for Sex Tourism in Nepal. The punishable act is strictly monitored by the Nepal Police and other stake holders.
