There has always been prostitution in Nepal. Indeed, it has been common among women of certain castes. Mostly they have been catering to Indians and locals. Some Indians, especially truck drivers, have the attitudes of sex tourists. Not much of it that has been visible to foreigners. The only place where it has been really obvious, except possibly to blind people, has been Mugling.
In traditional codes westerners are pretty low. Official policy, if there was any, was to discourage contacts between foreign men and local women. Sex tourism was totally out of the question. All this may have changed with the collapse of traditional values.
Still I doubt that the nepalese goverment will ever tolerate sex tourism from the west, that Kathmandu will ever be filled with the kind of total losers that populate Pattaya and certain other spots in South East Asia.
