  • Heritage run from Basantapur in the Kathmandu Durbar area follows the next day

NATTA, the Nepal Association of Tour and Travel Agents, has put together a two-day programme in Kathmandu to mark the 47th World Tourism Day. Its stated purpose is to send a message to travellers abroad that the country's tourism sector is safe, according to reports carried by Khabarhub, Ratopati and Reporters Nepal on 26 September 2026. Rajkumar Devkota, the association's general secretary, said the programme was designed to convey that Nepal's tourism sector is fully secure, in working order and open to travellers from every part of the world. The message is aimed at tourists everywhere, the three reports said, and the association is using the international day as the occasion to deliver it. The first day, Saturday 26 September 2026, was given over to a clean and green campaign run under the NATTA banner. The clean-up took place in the Budhanilkantha–Tokha–Chandeshwari area, which the reports describe as lying within the corridor of Shivapuri National Park. The second day brings the Nepal Nimto–NATTA heritage run 2026, which sets off from Basantapur in the Kathmandu Durbar area. Tourism entrepreneurs, representatives of various associations and organisations, and young people are expected to join the run, according to the reports.

KMC halts waste collection as rain damages Bancharedanda landfill road

Waste collection and disposal in Kathmandu have been suspended after heavy rain sent muddy water flowing at the Bancharedanda landfill site and left the access road in poor condition.
