Former President Bidya Devi Bhandari departed for China, Nepali news outlets reported on October 22, 2026. The reports confirmed her departure but did not specify the purpose, length or schedule of the visit, or provide other details about her travel.
Reports Confirm Departure
Both Thaha Khabar and Nepal Views carried reports that Bhandari had left for China. Their published accounts establish the central detail of the news: the former president was travelling to the neighbouring country.
The reports, as provided, do not identify when Bhandari is expected to arrive, which places she plans to visit, or whether she is travelling for an official, personal or other purpose. They also do not name any people accompanying her or describe meetings or events connected with the trip. No additional itinerary or programme was included in the available information.
Details of Visit Not Provided
The limited information means that the departure is the only confirmed development in the reports. There is no stated duration for the visit, and the reporting does not indicate whether Bhandari will meet Chinese officials or take part in any public engagements. Those details should not be assumed in the absence of further reporting or an official announcement.
Bhandari is identified in the reports as a former president of Nepal. Beyond confirming that she departed for China, the articles do not provide further background or reactions related to the trip. Any updates on its purpose, schedule or participants would require additional information from the relevant parties or subsequent reports.
