Answer
Yes, you can travel on L1 visa, but:
- Need valid L1 visa stamp in passport to re-enter
- If visa expired, must renew at U.S. consulate
- Bring L1 approval notice (I-797) and employment verification
- L1 status remains valid even if traveling
Important: L1 visa stamp and L1 status are different. Status can be valid even if visa stamp expired (but you need stamp to re-enter).
