Nepal did open its borders to the tourists from mid 2021 but partially with a handful of travel restrictions. The Government and concerned authorities were busy with vaccination programs. Finally, after things got slightly smooth with traveling, Nepal opened the door to the tourists from September and started providing on arrival visas for the visitors later that month.
As a result, we can see that the number of tourist arrival did increase from last couple of months.
Beside the new variant of corona virus, there has not been any other issues related to the corona virus in the last few months. Along with the exceptions from the visitors traveling from or within some of the African countries, the travel restrictions for the visitors are as much relaxed as it was first mentioned. So we can expect similar number of tourist arrival like past couple of months in December.
The above information of tourist arrival is only taken from the number of tourists who flew by air to Nepal. As a landlocked country, air way is the primary source of tourists arriving in Nepal but the Himalayan nation also receives visitors from neighbouring country who travel via land.
