Nepal and Indonesia have experienced significant natural disasters, including glacier and rock collapses causing floods and landslides in Nepal, and widespread wildfires in Indonesia. In Nepal, these events resulted in hundreds of deaths and damaged critical infrastructure, such as roads and bridges, while contributing to a decline in international tourism arrivals.

In response to the environmental crises, both nations are focusing on recovery and sector stability. Indonesia’s Ministry of Tourism is coordinating efforts to manage wildfire impacts in the Bromo – Tengger-Semeru area and addressing the aftermath of a 7.7 magnitude earthquake in the Flores region to restore tourism in Labuan Bajo and Komodo National Park. Meanwhile, the Nepalese government has launched the ‘Nepal Calling’ campaign to reassure travelers that major destinations like Kathmandu and Everest Base Camp remain accessible despite the damage to trekking routes.
