A View of Sex Tourism in Nepal

About ten years ago it has been common among women of certain castes named Badi in far west of Nepal. Mostly they have been catering to Indians and locals. Some Indians, especially truck drivers, have the attitudes of sex tourists. Not much of it that has been visible to foreigners. The only place where it has been really obvious. In traditional codes westerners are pretty low. Unfortunately many Nepali women get enticed to go to India to work and get forced into prostitution and when they come back to Nepal and they continue their new job skills. Kathmandu in the 80's you couldn't even buy porn let alone hookers. Alcohol was not available unless you went to the slum district of Thamel and hit the change shops. But now the scenes have been changed. Thamel today is like a dreamland. Many girls student has come to Kathmandu valley from rural arias of Nepal for their further study of collage level. Some of them are high ambushes and want to be live as a luxurious life and they goes to easy way to make money soon. The easy way is only to be a prostitute. But they are not looking like a prostitute of ten years ago. They always maintain their personality like a sophisticate and every one can not guise about them that which type of women they are. Their first priority is tourist from Europe and North America. Now a day male prostitute also growing up and many female tourists come to Nepal for their sexual satisfaction. Although official policy is to discourage contacts between foreign men and local women. Sex tourism is totally out of the question. All this may have changed with the collapse of traditional values. Still I doubt that the Nepal Government will ever tolerate sex tourism from the west, that Kathmandu will ever be filled with the kind of total losers that populate Pattaya, Goa and certain other spots in South East Asia.
