The United Kingdom and the United States have lifted restrictions on their citizens traveling to Nepal.

The restriction was issued on October 8, 2015, for geological instability in Nepal following the Gorkha earthquake, the monsoon season, unrest in Tarai, and country-wide fuel shortages.

“Because conditions have changed, the travel warning was canceled effective February 29, 2016,” read a statement issued by the Embassy of the United States in Kathmandu on Tuesday.

Based on a country’s local conditions and risks for American travelers, the US Department of State publishes travel alerts or travel warnings for every country in the world. 

Likewise, the UK relaxed the restriction because of Prince Harry’s first-ever upcoming official visit to Nepal from March 19–23. Buckingham Palace has already revealed his plans to visit the Patan and Bhaktapur Durbar Squares, Bardiya National Park, a mountain range view, and trekking.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the UK updated its travel advice on Friday, mentioning ‘advice against all but essential travel lifted for all areas of Nepal’. The travel advice also mentioned ‘around 40,000 British nationals visited Nepal in 2013. Most visits are trouble-free.’  On July 4, three countries—the US, the UK, and New Zealand—lifted restrictions on their citizens traveling to Nepal, except for districts hit hard by the April 25 earthquake and subsequent aftershocks.

Life here has come back to normal condition right now. We successfully organized Manaslu Trek after Earth Quick on 25 April.

You are welcome to visit Nepal during your holiday. Your trip to Nepal will be a great support for Nepal and all Nepalese people who are suffering from the natural disaster. This will be a great support for his/her family to rebuild the house and keep on his schoolchildren for a bright future. The present political situation in Nepal has improved.  All borders are open now and life here is normal.

The government of the United Kingdom on Friday lifted its travel warnings to its citizens from visiting earthquake-affected regions in Nepal.

Official websites for international travel guides support it. According to the most popular guidebook in the United Kingdom, “Rough Guides"—Nepal should be your first choice for travel in 2016.  Please see Rough Guides for details:
