Dussehra Travel Sees Reduced Crowds in Kathmandu Valley

The arrival of the major festival of Dashain brings notable changes to passenger movement across the region. Traditionally, this period sees large numbers of residents departing from the Kathmandu Valley to celebrate with families elsewhere, but current travel patterns reflect a decrease in crowds. Reports indicate that the usual heavy volume of people leaving the Kathmandu Valley for the holiday season has dropped. Authorities and observers note that the overall numbers of travellers are lower than what is typically recorded during this festive period. This seasonal shift affects transportation hubs and routes frequently used by individuals exiting the urban center. Observers continue to monitor the movement of citizens heading out to observe the holidays in different parts of the country.
