Why are tourists in Nepal?
Nepal is a popular destination for tourists, especially those interested in trekking and mountaineering, thanks to its stunning Himalayan landscape. The region near the Nepal-Tibet border, where the floods occurred, is particularly attractive for its natural beauty and adventure opportunities. This explains why such a high number of foreign nationals, including the 33 UK citizens, were reported missing.
