I lost my passport with a valid US visa on it. I informed the US embassy about it and got a new passport. After a few months, I found my old lost passport with the valid US visa on it.

Can I now travel to the US on the basis of the valid US visa stamped on my old passport, while carrying both the old and new passports together?

If not, what should I do now? I will have to apply for the visa again, and go through the hassle of filling up the form, submitting the visa fee, going to the embassy, etc. And I am not even sure whether they will give the visa again.

No you cannot travel with your old visa

If you have already reported your visa lost/stolen to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate, and then you later find your misplaced visa, then your visa will be invalid for future travel to the United States. Therefore, in that situation you must apply for a new visa at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
