The move signals a relative easing of restrictions on travel to Nepal, with the country now considered safe compared to the period during and after the recent Gen Z protests.
Earlier, following the Gen Z movement, Nepal had been placed under Level 3 on September 11, which advises travelers to reconsider travel.
Level 4 recommends not traveling, while Level 1 indicates normal conditions where basic precautions are sufficient.
“The nationwide protests that began in September 2025 have ended. The security situation is stable. However, demonstrations and localized unrest, particularly in cities, may still occur,” the US Department of State said in its advisory.
“Protests can start with little warning and may quickly become serious. Avoid large crowds and follow the instructions of local authorities.”
The advisory notes that hospitals in Kathmandu are better equipped compared to other areas. However, as the Government of Nepal does not cover medical expenses for foreigners, travelers are advised to obtain travel health insurance and carry essential medications.
It also notes that in case of serious medical conditions, travelers may need to seek treatment in another country.
The advisory further urges travelers to plan visits after checking weather conditions, as Nepal is prone to natural disasters, particularly floods and landslides between June and September.
