Holidaying amid pandemic

We must tread with extreme precautions if we want to pursue our wanderlust.

The social media sphere is flooded with posts of people holidaying in remote mountain areas, scenic locations and resorts. It’s a radical act, given how the Covid-19 situation continues to deteriorate in Nepal, especially in the Kathmandu Valley and other hotspots while health agencies and experts recommend avoiding all nonessential travel. But the yearning to travel after months of the stay-home order and mobility restrictions has picked up steam since the holiday season last month. People have hit the road, pandemic or not, and there are equally attractive travel packages to choose from.
