    Travelling in Nepal:

    Traveling in Nepal won’t be difficult if you follow the rules, despite some travel limitations. More than 19% of the population is fully immunized thanks to the government’s intensive vaccination drive, and more than 21% have already gotten their first shot. Since tourism workers are among the frontline groups who are given priority. More than 95% of them have already received all of their vaccinations (97% in the Mt. Everest and Mustang regions).

    Nearly all of the office and field crew at Nepal Footprint Holiday has received their complete vaccinations. As there is now some good news, we are currently attempting to follow the V2V (vaccinated to vaccinated) services approach, which is the best course of action at this time.
