Fixed compensation
Do not assume it is automatically due. The cause, applicable passenger-rights regime and the airline's response all matter.

Poor weather closes Bharatpur Airport
Bharatpur Airport was unable to operate from early on 25 September as poor weather and reduced visibility disrupted domestic aviation in Nepal. The closure was one of five airport shutdowns reported during the same weather episode.

The Kathmandu Post reported, citing Tribhuvan International Airport authorities, that Bharatpur, Pokhara, Lukla, Simara and Surkhet airports remained closed because adverse weather and reduced visibility prevented flight operations. This page records Bharatpur Airport's part of that verified disruption rather than assuming the same outcome for every Nepal itinerary.
Operational conditions can change quickly. Check the airline and airport for live status before travelling.
Compensation is only one part of your rights
Passenger remedies depend on the operating carrier, ticket terms, route and applicable jurisdiction. A weather closure does not by itself establish a fixed cash-compensation entitlement, so refund, rebooking and care questions must be checked against the actual booking.
Refund or rerouting
A cancellation can create travel-remedy rights even where an extraordinary circumstance prevents fixed compensation.
Care and expenses
Where the applicable rules provide a duty of care, reasonable meals, accommodation or transport can remain separate from compensation.
What to do now
Confirm reopening and flight status with the operating airline before travelling to Bharatpur Airport. Keep the original itinerary and any cancellation, rebooking, refund or reasonable-expense evidence if your journey is affected.
