Political Unrest in Nepal Leaves Indian Tourists Traumatised and Stranded

When politics spills onto the streets, humanity is often its first casualty. Recent images from Nepal bear witness to this harsh truth, as political unrest in Kathmandu resulted not only in the burning of buildings and vehicles but also in the destruction of dreams, hopes, and lives.

Many Indian tourists, who had come to Nepal for religious visits to Pashupatinath Temple or for vacations, found themselves caught in the violence. Their stories reflect a deep sense of helplessness and fear.

Kailash, a resident of Maharashtra, recounted how protestors stopped his vehicle, forcibly pulled him out, and destroyed his car right before his eyes. He had arrived in Nepal on the 9th, unaware of the unrest, and lost mobile network coverage as the situation escalated. As he was about to turn towards the temple, a mob blocked the road, dragged him out, and vandalised his four-wheeler.

Another tourist, Kali Prasad, shared a chilling account: “We came to visit Pashupatinath Maharaj, but our car was stopped at Jadibuti Chowk and then set on fire. We had to stay in a local guesthouse for two to three days until things calmed down and we could reach the airport to return home.”

Several tourists reported being confined to their hotels for days, safe but anxious, waiting for a chance to return home. One visitor said, “We came for the Mansarovar trip, but when we returned to Nepal, we realised there was a riot going on. We were locked up in the hotel for a few days. The hotel staff advised us to stay inside. We had plans to visit the Pashupati temple and other places, but unfortunately, we couldn’t leave.”
