The August flood was real and it hurt. But it hit only one part of Nepal, not the whole country. Most of Nepal is open, safe and ready for you to visit.

The flood struck Rasuwa district in the north of the country, along the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli Rivers. Langtang and Gosaikunda took the worst damage. Repair work is going on there now.

The rest of Nepal is running normally: Kathmandu’s old temples and squares are open. Pokhara’s lakes still reflect the mountains every morning. Chitwan’s jungles are still home to rhinos and elephants roaming freely in the wild. Everest and Annapurna treks are going ahead. Flights land at Kathmandu airport every day. Hotels are open, guides are ready and buses are on the road – all waiting to welcome you!

Now is a great time to come, because October and November are the best months in Nepal. The sky is clear, the air is fresh and the Himalayas look sharp and close. Dashain and Tihar, Nepal’s biggest festivals, fill the streets with color, lights and music.

Your visit makes a real difference. Tourism is the lifeline for many families across Nepal, supporting guides, porters, drivers, cooks hotel staff and countless local businesses. Every visitor helps keep livelihoods going, brings income into local communities and supports Nepal’s journey towards recovery. By choosing Nepal, you become part of that positive story.

Nepal has faced challenges before, and time and again, its people have shown remarkable resilience, warmth and determination. The mountains still stand tall, the trails are waiting to be explored, the smiles are just as genuine and the tea is still steaming hot.

Nepal is ready to welcome you. Come for the mountains, stay for the people, and leave knowing your journey has made a difference.
