Annapurna Circuit Tourism Recovers After Weather Disruptions in Nepal
What happened
Tourist arrivals on the Annapurna Circuit are picking up after weeks of disruption caused by floods, landslides, and heavy rain and snowfall. Trail-clearing operations have reopened access across the route, including the Thorong La Pass. Currently, 150 to 200 visitors are arriving daily at the Dharapani tourist check and information centre. Previously, severe weather had reduced arrivals to just one or two trekkers per day.
