Military patrols the streets in Kathmandu, since the capital has been shaken by violent riots in recent days. Curfew applies and residents are urged to stay at home.
The spark to the protests was ignited in a dissatisfaction with the government's plans to ban social media, but also came to be about a widespread anger against the country's political elite and shaky economy.
The protests culminated on Tuesday when several buildings, including the government building, were set on fire and Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned.
The army is now conducting checks on vehicles and individuals in Kathmandu and reports that 27 suspected looters have been detained.
