We're off to Nepal on Tuesday. All the info I can find online, including travel advice from the UK government, says masks are still compulsory in indoor settings. But our tour company tell me that their colleagues on the ground in the country are saying they are no longer required. Does anyone have any very recent experience of travelling there are could clarify for me please?
Mask wearing in Nepal
No, it's not compulsory to wear a face mask during indoor settings. It's a part of the "official" guidelines of Nepal. But few do it.
Basically, it's a personal choice. That said, mask wearing is commonplace throughout Nepal even prior to the pandemic due to dust and pollution.

That's very helpful, thank you. I suspected it might be the case but it's good to have it confirmed. We'll take some of course (in any case we need them for the flight on Qatar Air) but only wear them if we feel we should on occasion.
