A large group of Malaysians are currently stranded in Lukla, Nepal, unable to fly out after the country imposed a seven-day lockdown on March 24.

Nearly 100 climbers have been stranded since then, unable to fly out because of travel restrictions. In a report, an official with the Nepal Tourism Board said that they are currently coordinating with the Nepal Home Ministry to obtain permits to rescue the tourists.
