The Nepal Tourism Board has urged tourists to postpone trekking until the weather normalizes, citing slippery conditions and poor visibility on eastern Himalayan trekking routes including Mount Everest, Langtang, Ilam, and Taplejung.
The board has advised against traveling to passes like Kongma La, Cho La and Renjo La, especially in the high mountainous areas. Similarly, it has also advised tour operators to avoid unnecessary travel to the eastern and middle hilly areas, not to drive on landslide or flood-affected roads, and not to set up tents and camp near rivers or streams.
The board has urged all parties related to tourism to exercise special caution while operating vehicles, follow the information of local bodies, travel only after checking the daily weather and road conditions, and stay in safe accommodation during heavy rain or snowfall.
According to the board, the Bal Annapurna, Mustang and Dolpo areas are currently safe. The weather in those areas is open and trekking is generally safe.
According to the weather forecast, there is a possibility of moderate to heavy rain in the eastern and central provinces of the country until Kartik 15. As the risk of landslides, floods and road blockages increases with the rain, the board has advised tourism professionals and trekkers to exercise special caution.
Although rainfall is expected to gradually decrease in Gandaki Province, the board has stated that the risk of landslides still exists.
