NEPAL welcomed over 1.15 million foreign tourists in 2025, a rise of one per cent compared to 2024, the Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) said on Thursday.
A total of 1,158,459 tourists visited Nepal, representing a 97 per cent recovery compared to the pre-COVID pandemic level of 2019, according to the NTB. While the Himalayan country witnessed steady growth in tourist arrivals throughout the year, political unrest in early September impacted visitor numbers, the NTB data show.
In September, foreign tourist arrivals declined by 18.3 per cent, but the sector recovered over the following three months compared to the same period of the previous year. India remained the largest source market, accounting for 25.2 per cent of total foreign tourist arrivals, with 292,438 visitors.
