Annapurna Circuit Tourism Rebounds After Floods in Nepal
What happened
Foreign tourist arrivals on the Annapurna Circuit have rebounded after heavy rain, floods, and landslides disrupted travel in late September. During the Dashain holiday, 5,384 foreign tourists trekked the circuit between October 11 and 25, which was 769 more than the same period last year. Access has been restored due to improving weather and repairs to the trails and roads.
