Disagreements arising from Nepal’s new constitution have led to protests and strikes in the Terai districts of Nepal. Listen to announcements from local authorities and take advice from your tour company. British government officials in Nepal may sometimes defer travel to some districts of the Terai on official business, depending on the security situation at the time.

Protests can occur at short notice and turn violent. Clashes between protesters and police may occur anywhere. Stay away from protest areas.

Major earthquakes on 25 April (epicentre Gorkha district) and 12 May (epicentre Sindhupalchok district) caused extensive damage to buildings and infrastructure particularly in northern parts of Gorkha, Rasuwa, Sindhupalchok and Dolakha districts. These include the Manaslu and Langtang national parks. Some trails and trekking infrastructure were damaged by the earthquakes; some of these have been rebuilt. Check with your tour company before trekking in these areas. Aftershocks, landslides and avalanches remain a risk, particularly in these areas. Main roads across Nepal are open, but road conditions are poor.

Nepal is in a major earthquake zone and remains at risk from further earthquakes, aftershocks, landslides and flooding across the country. You should familiarise yourself with safety procedures in the event of an earthquake.

The monsoon season normally runs from June to September. Flooding and landslides often occur during this time. Road travel anywhere can be hazardous, particularly in rural areas. See Natural disasters

Seek local advice from your tour operator, the tourist police or the Nepal Tourism Board on whether it’s safe to travel, particularly on remote trekking routes away from the main roads. Make sure any vehicle you travel in is equipped to deal with the risk of landslides (eg winches, ropes).

Never trek alone. Use a reputable agency, remain on established routes and walk with at least one other person. Take note of weather conditions and forecasts, and come prepared. Altitude sickness is a risk in all trekking regions. See Trekking in Nepal.

All air carriers from Nepal have been refused permission to operate air services to the EU due to safety concerns. See Safety and security

There is a general threat from terrorism. See Terrorism
