Kathmandu/New Delhi, May 12 (EFE).- Thousands of foreign tourists have been left stranded in Nepal after authorities decided to extend the ban on international flights to May 31 as the country struggles to deal with a serious Covid surge.
Nepal had suspended all international flights from May 7 to 14, and the measure was on Tuesday extended to the end of the month, except for an air-bubble arrangement between Kathmandu and New Delhi with two weekly flights.
The decision has clashed with the travel plans of many foreigners, who had expected to fly back once the original ban was lifted.
