To say Nepal is going through difficult times at the moment would be an understatement. The web is filled with images and stories about the tragedy.

It is important to mention though that Nepal is still a place you should visit. The west and east of Nepal remain unaffected by the earthquake, many of the affected areas’ trails and buildings will be repaired over the coming months, and of course, many of those affected actually work in tourism and will need the work as much as every to help them rebuild their communities.

If you are planning a trip to Nepal later this year and have questions about the situation, please feel free to ask by email info@trailrunningnepal.org and we’ll do our best to inform you as much as we can with the information we have.
