Kathmandu, October 23, 2026 — Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) Chairman Rabi Lamichhane has departed for a three-day private visit to India with his wife, Nikita Lamichhane, accompanied by Minister Pratibha Rawal.
The couple and Rawal flew from Kathmandu to Dhangadhi on Friday morning before continuing their journey across the border into India.
According to Lamichhane’s secretariat, the trip is personal and focused on a family religious pilgrimage.
During the visit, the group is scheduled to offer prayers at Kainchi Dham in Uttarakhand’s Nainital district and the Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati, Assam.
