I can't speak for now. However, I did happen to arrive in Nepal on the day which the British Embassy recommended every British tourist leave, back during the revolution in May 2006.
It was absolutely fascinating and humbling being there during this time. And completely safe.
From reading the media, one would assume the clashes are taking place everywhere. However, they are incredibly localised and small. As long as you stay away from the street it is taking place on .
I don't expect the current situation is anywhere near as 'bad' at the 2006 situation. In 2006 it was merely an inconvenience due to the Kathmandu curfews and strike action resulting in no fuel for planes from Lukla. The latter fortunately was not an issue for me, while I got round the former by hiring a bicycle and cycling out of the city before the curfew started in the morning, and arriving after the curfew had risen in the evening.
My blogs from this period cover this to some extent too if you feel up for reading them.
I hope that's calmed your fears. Happy to answer any questions etc from my limited experience
