So where are we now? Is travel to Nepal safe? Where can you travel when in Nepal with relative ease....
This by far is the most pertinent point.....relative ease...since safety is not of concern at the moment. It never has....we have had very few traveller casualties due to the conflict.
Having said that...we did have an incident the other day when a Russian mountaineer missed the tourist bus as he overslept and was chasing the bus with a taxi when his taxi hit a landmine intended for the army convoy following the tourist bus....His leg is damaged...
The other day, someone discovered a small bomb at a money exchange in Thamel and it was detonated by the bomb squad.
Think of it, we are in a country in conflict and things like this will happen....regardless, I have had travellers coming and going...all of them have a similar pattern. They all express their concerns before coming in and as they come in....by the time their holiday is complete, all their apprehensions and fears would have dissolved....as there is nothing that hampers their trip at all...
So, is it safe? Yes it is safe....
Yet I would say correspond to people in Nepal to find out the situation on a day by day basis...the situation is still fliud so caution is the key
