Continuing a circuitous path for visitors to navigate, Nepal now says that if a foreigner has been vaccinated they can enter Nepal not go through quarantine. This includes trekkers and those climbing mountains such as Everest.

Of course, this announcement comes as travelers are leaving for Nepal with schedules that factored in a seven-day quarantine thus Nepal will still financially benefit from the prolonged stay in Kathmandu, one of the most polluted cities on earth. Perhaps visitors should take a side trip to Pokhara to avoid the pollution before going to the Khumbu.
