The UK now no longer advises against 'all but essential travel' to the whole of Nepal. The UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) issued its revised travel advisory on Friday advising against all but essential travel to only some districts of Nepal.
According to the revised advisory, the FCO has advised against all but essential travel to Humla, Mugu, Dolpa, Mustang, Manang, Lamjung, Gorkha (including the Manaslu trekking region), Dhading, Rasuwa (which includes the Langtang Valley trekking region), Nuwakot, Sindhupalchok, Kavrepalanchowk, Dolakha, Ramechhap, Okhaldhunga, Solukhumbu (including the Everest base camp and the Everest regional trekking routes), Sankhuwasabha and Taplejung districts."Travel on the main highway from Kathmandu to Pokhara, which passes through Nuwakot, Gorkha and Dhading districts, is exempted from the FCO's advice against all but essential travel," the advisory says.
Similarly, the US on Thursday terminated the authorized departure of non-emergency US government personnel and dependents, replacing a travel warning issued on May 1.
The United States Department of State warns US citizens of the risks of travel to Nepal and recommends that they exercise caution following the earthquake on April 25 and subsequent aftershocks.
"While their frequency and severity have diminished, the possibility of earthquakes or aftershocks continues. The overall effect of the initial earthquake and its aftershocks varied greatly across the country. Areas close to the epicenters suffered significant damage, while other areas in the country were nearly unaffected," the revised advisory says.
The revised advisory says that in Kathmandu, conditions are returning to normal.
"Cleanup efforts have cleared most of the rubble from collapsed structures and walls, and demolition efforts continue to address unstable buildings," the advisory stated.
