We understand your doubt about the post quake situation. Therefore we provide you the following information:
- Most lodges in Namche Bazar have been unaffected.
- The heavy damage was occurred off the main trial in the Everest region. Only few lodges were being affected in the main trekking route to Everest Base Camp.
- The Sherpa communities are working hard for repairing the trials and it is likely to be repaired totally by October 2015.
- Miyamoto International, a team of world expert geologists and earthquake engineering specialists will assess the Everest and Annapurna regions post monsoon.
- An assessment is currently underway in the Manaslu region by a Swiss team of geologists supporting the World Food Program. They have said that Langtang, Rolwaling, Manaslu & Tsum Region trails are badly affected but rest of trails in Nepal are not much of a problem β during monsoon season common landslides are expected but this should not affect the accessibility.
- 14 of Nepalβs 75 districts have been affected with most of the damage concentrating on Gorkha, Sindhupalchowk (including the Arniko Highway), Dhading, Dolakha, Nuwakot, Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Kavre and Okhaldunga.
- We recommend you not to go to the heavily affected areas because of the safety reason and of course because the people are rebuilding their lives in these areas.
- You can explore other regions, such as Annapurna, Mustang, Humla, Jumla, Dolpo and Kanchenjunga.
- Chitwan and Bardia National Parks also escaped much damage, and are thus ready to receive visitors. The birthplace of the Buddha, Lumbini, did not incur much damage and is open for visitors
- Kathmanduβs international airport is fully operational and was only closed for a few hours on 25th April 2015.
- The Nepal government is currently working on the repair of the UNESCO sites, which have reopened for tourists on June 15th.
- With unsafe houses and buildings being demolished, the affected areas are gradually becoming safer again for locals and visitors.
- Hotels are being formally assessed for safety and rebuilding work is ongoing
