Nepal Suspends Himalayan Trekking Amid Cyclone Arnab Weather Warnings
Nepal has suspended trekking activities and the issuance of permits in high-altitude and Himalayan regions from October 29 to 31 due to risks of heavy snowfall, snowstorms, and avalanches linked to Cyclone Arnab developing over the Bay of Bengal. Authorities have urged trekkers already in these areas to remain in safe locations and advised the public to avoid non-essential travel. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority warned of severe weather impacts, including heavy rain and strong winds, affecting multiple provinces during this period.
