Nepal is safe destination: Plan Nepal for autumn 2015

Is Nepal Safe for Tourists after April 25, 2015 Earthquake?

A moderate Earthquake hit central and western Nepal on April 25

2015 and since than many aftershocks is continuously coming.

There were two major aftershocks April 26 and second week of

May. The earthquake took life of roughly 9,000 people and left

thousand injured. About dozens of districts goy badly damaged

including Gorkha, Sindupalchowk, Rasuwa, Dolakaha and

Kathmandu valley was moderately damaged. The major Heritage

sites of the valley are partially damaged.

We humans are visitors of this planet earth and we should know the

law of impermanence. As we are changing so does the Earth too.

There are no places in world where there is no problem. On last

week of May 2015 there was a almost similar intensity earthquake

in Japan where no building is reported to broken or no one loosing

life in the calamity. It is not Earthquake that takes life but it is

quality of structure we make that takes life.

It is the global age and media has important role. The media has

played important role to appeal the world and help the victims. The

whole world has been very kind to Nepal and Nepali people to

address the after earthquake situation. But it is also media that

makes propaganda too.  Few monuments that were century old

were destroyed but media are projecting in a way that whole

country has become waste land.

Only few hotels are damaged in Kathmandu and many are ok. Many

volunteers who came Kathmandu to help in the rescue mission are

true ambassadors to tell the world as Earthquake have done

minimal damage to infrastructures of Nepal’s tourism industry and

Nepal is safe to travel. Nepal offers many things from adventure

activities to spiritual activities, volunteering to home stay etc. The

earthquake has done very negligible damage to Everest Region and

almost no any effect to Annapurna Region.

The best way to help Nepal at this time is by visiting it if you have

already planned it. In the monsoon season there are some rain

shadow regions in Nepal where you can go on a monsoon trekking

in Nepal. Upper Mustang is nice place to go in August onwards.

You can come and help Nepal as a volunteer all round the year.
