The Nepal Trekking Permit is a subject of interest for many tourists who are planning to visit Nepal. Trekkers in Nepal are allowed to trek as FITs (free personal trekkers) or in different-sized groups. However, there are certain trekking regions known as ‘Restricted Areas’ that are highly regulated by the Government of Nepal, and a Nepal Trekking Permit is a must to travel to the controlled areas mentioned below. Permits, however, are issued only to groups. Individual trekkers will not be issued trekking permits.
The Nepal Trekking Permit is not issued beyond the visa expiration date. Hence, trekkers must have a valid visa for a sufficient number of days to cover their trekking schedule.
