Trekking and Climbing adventures resume in Nepal from 17 October as the government has relaxed the restriction after six months of lockdown. The COVID-19 lockdown had brought all the trekking and climbing activities at a halt including other businesses. The tourism industry in Nepal fell back to the root as the result of the coronavirus pandemic.
While the lockdown was a part of the attempt to contain the virus, it affected the businesses and crippled the economy. It has left irreparable damage in the tourism industry and other sectors in the country.
While it is still uncertain how the travel industry worldwide will receive the travelers’ response, Nepal has relaxed the restriction on trekking and climbing adventures to come into effect from 17 October. As the international and domestic flights, overland transportation, hotels, restaurants, and other sectors open for business, the tourism industry also gets ready with the required preparation. All Businesses should follow strict safety protocols. It is the necessary first step to revive tourism in Nepal.
If you want to travel to Nepal, you need to have the latest COVID-19 negative report to enter the country. You will also need to stay in 7-day quarantine in a hotel before you can start the trip. Whether you want to trek in the Everest region or go on a peak climbing adventure, you can enjoy the adventure now following the COVID-19 safety protocols.

COVID-19 in Nepal
The pandemic of coronavirus did not also spare Nepal, as it affected almost the entire world. Many people have been the victims of this virus, but most of them have recovered successfully. The death toll is very low compared to the number of people affected.

While we cannot be careless to ignore the danger of the virus, it has been an obvious fact that we need to live with it, at least for some time now. This virus is not going to disappear magically, and things are not changing suddenly back to normal. A new 'normal' practice of moving forward in life has to be part of our life.
So, stay safe, stay strong! And get ready to travel.
