We conducted a comprehensive investigation to update our knowledge of traveler's diarrhea (TD) etiology and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Nepal. ⋯ Among travellers to Nepal with TD, viral pathogens were commonly found and norovirus was the second most common pathogen after campylobacter. We noted increased AMR to fluoroquinolones (FQs) and azithromycin (AZM). There is heightened concern for AZM treatment failures, though this continues to remain the drug of choice for TD treatment in our setting where FQs should not be used.
