I am due to depart in 9 days with a friend for a trip centred in Nepal, with shorter trips to Bhutan and Mumbai. The aftermath of the weekend's earthquake means this is no longer viable, and the British government are advising against all but essential travel to the country. Fortunately my travel insurance policy has allowed me to rearrange nearly all of the holiday to avoid Nepal.

The one exception is that the night of the 16 May where I cannot see an alternative but to spend about 24 hours in Kathmandu, arriving by plane that morning and departing the next morning by plane. Can anyone suggest how I can find out how safe Kathmandu currently is, and how feasible it might be to spend a night there?

According to this (I'm sorry: Dutch) newspaper article (http://www.trouw.nl/tr/nl/4496/Buitenland/article/detail/3984619/2015/04/28/Hulp-stokt-in-logistieke-nachtmerrie.dhtml) (in the last paragraph), the rain season is about to start in a coouple of weeks over there, making things even worse for the Nepali. It might also make it worse for you. I can't tell, but you might want to add this factor to your equation.
