Days after Gen Z protests in Nepal, the country is now urging tourists to return. Nepal’s interim Prime Minister Sushila Karki is also trying to regain normalcy in the country. She visited the civil hospital on Saturday to meet the injured Gen Z protestors.
Several social media platforms regulated by Nepalese citizens are appealing to the tourists to return and visit the “beautiful country”. One of the posts also claimed that Nepal is “completely safe for travellers”.
Nepal Tourism Board has already declared that it would renew tourists’ visa for free if the documents got expired during the time of protests.

Nepal Protests
Nepal witnessed massive protests by Gen Zs over the social media ban and alleged corruption. The previous government of KP Sharma Oli had to resign following the unrest.
However, the country is shifting towards a state of normalcy after days of violent protest, as the nationwide curfew had been ended on Saturday, a day after the former Chief Justice, Sushila Karki, was sworn in as the interim Prime Minister.
Situation on the India-Nepal border is also getting back to normal as traffic movement resumed at Rupaidiha border. Traffic for passenger vehicles, cars, motorcycles, pedestrians, and cargo trucks resumed. A large number of commercial cargo vehicles also crossed the border.
Commandant of the 42nd Battalion of the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) Ganga Singh Udawat told PTI, “With the formation of the new government in Nepal, conditions have started to become normal. Therefore, we did not stop anyone today, although we allowed people to enter the country only after ensuring their identity.” He added that border outposts were actively monitoring citizens and vehicles.
