Has anyone travelled to/from Nepal from/to USA with a handwritten passport recently and if there was a problem anywhere in transit including Qatar, London and port of entry in USA? Per Nepalese Embassy Website, the MRP passport is issued only after the existing passport is expired or lost. 
In light of recent news about the Qatar govt. returning or denying entry to all hand written passport holder, I was cautious about travel. 
Also when traveling via Qatar, there is a transit in which one has to leave the airport to stay in hotel during transit.
Per news, even in Nepal Airport, people carrying handwritten passport are getting trouble in own country since the staff at TIA were trying to read handwrittten passport in MRP reading machine.
