Travel advice
Avoid travel into or through the affected corridor, including Langtang, the Tamang Heritage Trail and Gosaikunda. Kathmandu, Pokhara, Everest, Annapurna and Chitwan are outside the affected area and continue to operate. Check current conditions with your operator before travelling anywhere in Nepal, as monsoon weather can affect roads and flights independently of this disaster.
What this means for you
- Rescue operations remain concentrated in the corridor; access to some sections is still restricted.
- No change to the status of Kathmandu, Pokhara, Everest, Annapurna or Chitwan.

Traveller questions
Does this affect my trip?
Is the whole of Nepal affected?
No. The flooding is concentrated along the Bhote Koshi–Trishuli river corridor.
Should I travel to Langtang, Rasuwagadhi or Gosaikunda?
No — these areas fall directly within the affected corridor and should be avoided for now.
Are Kathmandu, Pokhara, Everest, Annapurna and Chitwan affected?
No. Kathmandu, Pokhara, Everest, Annapurna and Chitwan are all outside the affected corridor and continue to operate normally.
Should I cancel my Nepal trip?
Not simply because of this disaster, if your itinerary does not pass through the affected corridor. Check your itinerary with your travel company.
