The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has urged Australians in Nepal to monitor the media, and other sources about emerging security risks after three separate explosions in the capital Kathmandu killed four people and injured seven.
However, the government department has maintained the general travel advisory to Nepal, urging Australians to "exercise a high degree of caution.
A spokesperson for DFAT told SBS Nepali that it keeps its travel advisories under close review.
"The current travel advice for Nepal advises Australians that attacks with improvised explosive devices can occur."
"We encourage Australians in Nepal to subscribe to travel advice updates through the Smartraveller website."
There have been no claims of responsibility for the explosions, but a spokesman for Nepal Police has told local media that a splinter Maoist group's pamphlets were discovered near one of the incident sites.
"Seven people have been arrested so far", said Bishwa Raj Pokharel.
"We are investigating all incidents and have stepped up the security", he said.
Netra Bikram Chand led Maoist group had declared a nationwide strike on Monday demanding investigations into the death of one of its members.
Citing a local police official, Kathmandu Post said the people killed may have been associated with the Chand led group and the police suspect "accidental setting off of improvised explosive device" as the cause of the explosions.
The group was banned by the government in March this year.
Netra Bikram Chand's former leader Pushpa Kamal Dahal led the decade long Maoist conflict that ended in 2006.
Dahal is currently the co-chair of Nepal Communist Party, now leading a majority government in the country.
