(Sept. 10, 2025 / JNS) Roughly 200 Israeli tourists are holed up at the Chabad House in Kathmandu, while hundreds of others remain stuck in Nepal’s mountains amid nationwide unrest, Hebrew media reported on Tuesday.

Demonstrators have torched the parliament building and shut down the main airport, leaving many Israelis uncertain about travel plans, according to Ynet.

“I landed in Nepal only two days ago, and immediately, there were problems connecting to Instagram. The taxi driver told me there would be chaos, and I thought he was joking, but it turned out he wasn’t,” Yonatan, an Israeli backpacker, told the outlet.
