Check USCIS home page, everything is pretty much clearly written there. As far as  I know you can travel to Nepal only if you have EAD plus job where the employer needs to write a leave approval letter stating that you can continue work immediately after returning to US. It may be a big risk to travel in the transition period. Btw, ask your International Admission Officer for more information.

If your visa has expired then don't go.

EAD card isn't required to enter the USA. Valid I-20 is.

You're not getting the point onthego.

EAD is useless. It doesn't mean shit. It is basically a card that PROVES that you are eligible to work in the US. I currently have an EAD card myself. It is set to expire in July while I'd be graduating in May. The card is meaningless. The new EAD card ( I got after the approval of my OPT ) is meaningless too.

You need a valid I-20. In any EAD cards, you'll find "not valid for entry to the US" written at the bottom.

Your international adviser is right. The law is that u can travel out of US and come back while ur OPT application is pending. If ur OPT is approved and u went out of the country without getting job, then ur OPT will be terminated.

So as per law its safe to go while OPT is pending. But u never know  when u r returning particularly in these ongoing conditions. People having job n going for H1 stamping have been stuck there for couple of months.

So as per law it is allowed to enter. But u should take ur own risk. It all depends on the person at port of entry during returning. I would suggest going only after having job offer.
