Important Travel Advice for Tourists Visiting Nepal

Nepal remains a popular destination for trekking, cultural tours, wildlife experiences, and Himalayan adventures. However, during periods of heavy rainfall and unstable weather, road accessibility can change unexpectedly.

We recommend the following precautions:

1.      Check road conditions before departure: Always obtain the latest information from your tour operator and relevant local authorities.

2.      Allow extra travel time: Avoid planning tight connections between road journeys, domestic flights, and trekking departures.

3.      Confirm access to trekking destinations: Check the latest road conditions before travelling towards Langtang, Upper Mustang, Rara Lake, and other affected regions.

4.      Avoid unnecessary night travel: Landslides and road obstructions can be more difficult to identify at night.

5.      Follow local authorities: Do not attempt to cross blocked roads or unstable landslide areas.

6.      Stay in contact with your travel operator: Maintain communication with your guide and tour operator for route updates and alternative arrangements.
