Like other countries, including the United States, Germany and France, the Britain has also decided to evacuate its citizens from Nepal.
The government of Nepal has enforced a lockdown in the country in a bid to control the spread of coronavirus infection. It has also suspended all international flights.
@NepalGov has just extended the lockdown in Nepal to 8 April and flight suspension to 15 April. If you books flights for after that date, check they are flexible/insured/refundable tickets.
