I'm in the same boat (will have to visit Nepal sometime in April/May, don't want to send my application to NY for MRP passport as it could take longer than 4/5 months to get new MRP.. so i'm planning to apply in Nepal once i'm there.. i will need to apply for Travel Document and travel to Nepal with it.

Rouge44 and Ramromanchey, I hope you've had pleasant travel without any hassles. Eager for more updates :)...

thanks!
