In light of the situation, the embassy has advised Malaysians in Nepal to remain vigilant, prioritize their safety, and follow safety instructions issued by local authorities.

The embassy also urged Malaysians to update their contact details through the e-Konsular portal for easier communication. Malaysians can contact the embassy using various contact numbers or email for immediate or emergency assistance.
