Severe weather in Nepal has disrupted road access and domestic flights to Kathmandu, creating major travel challenges for locals and international visitors. The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) has requested all international airlines to assist passengers by rescheduling flights and waiving additional fees or penalties.
Immigration Support for Travelers
The Department of Immigration (DOI) has announced special arrangements for travelers whose visas expire on October 5 or 6. Immigration offices in Kathmandu will remain open on both days to ensure that stranded visitors can renew their visas smoothly without penalties.
Road and Travel Restrictions
Authorities have restricted movement along Kathmandu river corridor roads from 6:00 pm today until 6:00 am tomorrow, October 5, due to safety concerns. This temporary measure is expected to reduce risks while clearing disruptions caused by the weather.
Support for Stranded Tourists
In a positive step, local authorities and hoteliers in Chitwan have arranged to host stranded travelers in hotels and resorts with up to 75% discounts on accommodations. Similar arrangements are being coordinated in other major tourist destinations in Nepal, ensuring affordable and safe stays for visitors until transportation resumes.
