Nepal’s government has decided to resume both domestic and international flights next month, according to AP.
Tourism Minister Yogesh Bhattarai said the government will allow flights beginning Aug 17. It was still undecided on the types of visitors who would be allowed in the country and visitors from which countries.
Flights had been stopped in March when the country was in full lockdown to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Only chartered and repatriation flights were allowed to fly out stranded tourists from Nepal and bring in Nepalese workers and residents.
