US lifts travel warning for Nepal

Kathmandu March 1- The US Department of State has cancelled its travel warning for Nepal. The travel warning, which was issued for Nepal on October 8, 2015, was formally cancelled  yesterday, according to the US Embassy in Kathmandu.

“Because conditions have changed,” a statement issued by the Embassy said, “The Travel Warning was cancelled effective February 29, 2016.”
