Official figures reveal that a total of 88,248 international travellers entered Nepal through the month of September 2026. Indian nationals formed the largest group of visitors, with 17,425 people arriving, which translates to 19.75 percent of the total visitor volume. Visitors from the South Asian region also showed strong numbers. Sri Lanka contributed 7,108 arrivals, marking a 54 percent increase, while Bangladesh saw 3,964 visitors, representing a 31.5 percent rise compared to previous figures. Arrivals from other Asian nations included 11,212 visitors from China and 2,066 travellers from Japan, the latter reflecting a 45.4 percent growth. Additional arrivals were recorded from South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. The tourism board indicated that visitor inflow was affected by a flood on the Bhotekoshi River in Rasuwa district that occurred on the tenth day of Bhadra, which prevented a higher number of arrivals during the period.
