Nepal Tourism Board urges all visitors and travelers to remain alert as Cyclone Arnab is expected to influence weather conditions across Nepal from the night of 29 October 2026.

According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA), Koshi, Bagmati, Madhesh, Gandaki and Lumbini provinces are likely to experience moderate to heavy rainfall, thunderstorms and strong winds on 30–31 October. Heavy snowfall, snowstorms and avalanches are also possible in high-altitude and Himalayan areas.
