Indian tourism to Nepal has plummeted since the Indian Airlines hijacking, and only time will tell if the incident has a long-term effect on travel here. Security has always been lax at the airport in Kathmandu, which is not fenced in, and flying around the country has often been part of the adventure in this Himalayan land. Whether security will now be tightened remains to be seen.

Indian Airlines refused to resume flights to Kathmandu until significant security improvements are made at the airport. Negotiations were underway between the aviation ministry and federal police and security agencies about what would be required.

A nationwide plan for “public agitation” has been called by a coalition of leftist parties, with demonstrations and strikes to run in Kathmandu Mar. 26-30. All road travel should be avoided during the strike on Mar. 27, and demonstrations should be avoided. Follow local press reports for the exact locations of protests

A general strike on Mar. 27 in Kathmandu turned violent, and Maoists called for an “armed strike” for April 6. Authorities have taken such threats seriously, and reportedly gave orders to the police to shoot on sight any “suspicious” individuals. Transportation, including private vehicles, is usually shut down upon threat of violence during general strikes. Avoid travel throughout the country when such strikes are on.

In three recent incidents, tourists were targeted by Maoist rebels, a significant shift of tactics that bodes ill for travel in Nepal. A trekking group, a rafting party, and a tourist hotel in Pokhara were all robbed with no injuries. Maoists have become active in just about every region. Further, a coalition of Leftist parties has called nationwide strikes for May 23 and 31, with rallies planned for May 22. Such strikes shut down all transit and are enforced violently, so stay off the streets when strikes are in force.
