Nepal Tourism after the Destructive Earthquake of 25 April 2015 affected almost every sector in Nepal. Although, most of the tourism products are safe, tourism sector in general is highly affected. However, the miraculous unity amongst all sector of the country and strong international solidarity/ cooperation seen in the miserable moment are the inspiring factors to overcome the effects of the Disaster. Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation said over 80% tourist destinations in the country are safe even after the disaster and this message should be scattered globally. Out of 35 major trekking routes here, the quake inflicted damages on only few routes. Tourist destinations in some 11 districts suffered earthquake damages. The highways and subways connecting major cities and towns in Nepal have not suffered any damages so moving around and traveling around Nepal would not be any problem. Hospitals, clinics and various medical facilities in various Nepalese cities and towns are safe, in operation and running smoothly. There has been no burst of epidemics or viral diseases. Communication in Nepal is not a problem as well with access to telephonic lines and internet working fine and smoothly. There are plenty of hotels in Nepal and tourist destinations around which are completely safe. A huge percentage of hotels in major sites were not damaged by the earthquake and tourists can easily find places to accommodate themselves in hotels, motels and guest houses which are absolutely safe.
