Nepal is now Safe to Travel
Most of the popular trekking regions of Nepal are not affected by the earthquake. The infrastructures of the areas that are partially affected are already under reconstruction. Even after the recent earthquakes, Nepal has infrastructures and human resources capable to the address needs of travelers. Most of the tea houses, hotels and lodges in the mountains are open.
The recent series of Earthquake in Nepal has caused considerable damages in few regions of Nepal. The images from Nepal that did rounds in world media as well as internet were horrific. Travelers around the world asked a common question: Is Nepal now safe to travel?
Two regions that are highly affected by the earthquakes in Nepal are Langtang and Manaslu. Government of Nepal has stopped issuing trekking permits in those regions until further notice. The tourism sector of Nepal is committed to reconstructing the infrastructures in those regions and welcome tourists as soon as it gets.
The government is working really hard to clear the debris from the heritage sites of Kathmandu and make those tourist attractions risk free. The world heritage sites in Kathmandu will be open to visitors from 15 June 2015.
Though Nepal remains a safe destination even after the recent earthquakes, Imperial Nepal is now taking extra safety measures in every trek we conduct. For the time being, we are also taking tents with us for extra cover. We will update our sites and blogs with regular updates from the mountains. Please stay tuned and write us in case you have any queries.
