    Editorial notice

    This is general public-knowledge framing from FCDO and State Department travel advice. Field reports change rapidly. Verify with the latest UK FCDO and US State Department advisories.

    Solo female travel is workable but requires more care than Nepal or Thailand. Harassment is documented in busy tourist areas. Conservative dress (covered shoulders + knees) is expected outside beach areas. Bus and tuk-tuk travel after dark needs caution. Many female volunteers travel safely; verify the program's transport and accommodation protocols.
