Nepal is allowing travelers, especially mountaineers from abroad, to re-enter the Himalayan country without any problems. The Quarantine duty is waived if a negative PCR test not older than 72 hours or a Corona vaccination can be presented. With the opening and the relaxation of the Corona measures, Nepal wants to boost the weakened tourism. Because like many others, the country is very dependent on the income that climbers and other tourists bring in.

Nepal needs tourists

A UN classification classifies Nepal as one of the "least developed countries", as the country's development is progressing very slowly. Added to this is the heavy dependence on tourism, which has already been absent for a whole year. Now, however, the Asian country's tourism industry has come through with a reopening and relaxed entry requirements. Even though there is currently no quarantine obligation for mountaineers and holidaymakers from abroad, the country is nevertheless meticulous in ensuring that the virus spreads as little as possible.

Because in addition to the PCR test and / or a Corona vaccination, all entrants must undergo a rapid test upon arrival at the airport in Kathmandu. Those who have neither a vaccination nor a PCR test must take the test immediately and wait for the result in self-quarantine.
