Travel Notice: Flash Flood in Nepal-China Border
27 August 2026
In view of the severe flash floods affecting parts of Nepal, particularly areas along the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli rivers, Singaporeans in Nepal are advised to exercise a high degree of caution, remain vigilant, monitor local news and follow the instructions of local authorities.
Singaporeans should avoid flood-affected areas (Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading, Gorkha and Chitwan) and stay away from rivers, riverbanks, bridges and low-lying areas. There may be disruptions to roads, transport, communications and essential services in affected areas. Please check local road and weather conditions before undertaking journeys.
Singaporeans travelling to or residing in Nepal are strongly encouraged to eRegister with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at https://eregister.mfa.gov.sg (opens in new tab), purchase comprehensive travel insurance, and remain in contact with their family, hotels, trekking agencies, guides or local tour operators.

Entry and Exit
Singaporeans may stay up to 90 days in Nepal with a visa issued on arrival, which can be obtained at the Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu and at border entry points in Kakadvitta, Birgunj, Bhairahawa, Nepalgunj, Gaddachowki on the Nepal-India border and Kodari on the Nepal-China border. Singaporeans may also apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before travelling to Nepal through the Nepal Department of Immigration (opens in new tab). Once the ETA is issued, travellers must carry a printout of the ETA and present it at their point of entry, to receive a visa. The applicable visa fee must be paid online at the time of submitting the ETA application.
Tourists may stay no more than 150 days in any given calendar year. Passports should have at least six months of validity from the date of entry into Nepal, with at least two blank visa pages. As visa requirements may change at short notice, Singaporeans are advised to contact their travel agency, or the nearest Consulate of Nepal for up-to-date information. For more information, please refer to the Nepal Tourism Board (opens in new tab) and Nepal Department of Immigration (opens in new tab) websites.
Safety and Security
Nepal is in a major earthquake zone and remains at risk of further earthquakes and aftershocks. You should familiarise yourself with safety procedures in the event of an earthquake. Flooding and landslides often occur during the monsoon season (June to September). Road travel anywhere can be hazardous, particularly in rural areas. Never trek alone. Use a reputable agency, remain on established routes, and walk with at least one other person.
