Indian tourists leaving Kathmandu

Indian tourists visiting Nepal have begun contemplating returning home apprehensive of the law and order situation in the wake of the assassination of King Birendra and other members of Nepal's royal family on Friday night, tour operators and hoteliers said on Sunday night.

"We came to Kathmandu for a holiday to beat the summer heat back home. But everything is at a standstill here. We also do not know how the situation would be in the coming days," said Manish Gupta, a businessman, who along with his family has come from Delhi for a seven-day tour.

Tour operators said while some groups were considering returning home, others were moving to tourist spots like Pokhra, Nagarkot and other places away from Kathmandu, intending him to come back to Kathmandu after a couple of days.

A few Indian tourists claimed they had been abused by Nepali youth in the heart of the city for 'no reason'.
