He added that recent bad weather and unexpected blizzards disrupted travel, despite government measures limiting movement over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Following days of heavy snowfall, the Solukhumbu district administration, police, and the Trekking Agencies\u2019 Association of Nepal (TAAN) jointly verified there were no stranded visitors, according to the Kathmandu Post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo tourists are trapped in our region.
