If you want to help to the Nepal, Then go to visit the country. There is no any doubt that the massive earthquake and it's aftershocks, served a crushing blow to the country's economy. Two months after, Nepal is gearing up to tell the world it's back in travel business and economy. Government is desperate to change the narrative after April’s disaster, which killed almost 9,000 people, in time for the peak tourist season in October and November.
Some countries are severe travel warning and some withdraw their decision. Many leading adventure travel companies are planning to return in the near future. Fiona Marshall of KE Adventure Travel says: “We’ve decided to operate in Nepal this autumn. Bookings are slow, but that’s natural. Many of our clients have been to Nepal before and are keen to go. We’re speaking to people in Nepal every day, and we know the country’s getting back to normal'
Actually Nepal was hugely unaffected by the quake, Of 75 districts, only 14 suffered damage. Almost all national parks and protected areas, including the fabulous wildlife sanctuaries of Chitwan and Bardia, are normal. World’s third-highest Kangchenjunga unaffected. International airport in Kathmandu TIA remained open throughout the critical weeks and most of the road network was left intact. The exception is the heavily used road into Tibet via Kodari, which remains closed and highly dangerous following fresh landslides triggered during the monsoon.
Half a million people in country depend on tourism. More than half of them women. Figure could have risen to 700,000 in the next decade. But a recently published post-disaster report commissioned by the government shows tourist numbers fell by 90% after the quake. It warns that the Nepali tourism industry could shrink this year by 40% from 2014 levels.
