As per the latest development, Nepal has decided to go ahead with barring solo or independent trekkers from going trekking in Nepal starting from April 1, without the help of a guide. This was recently announced by a senior official of Nepal Tourism Board.
Referring to this, Mani Raj Lamichhane, who is the board’s spokesperson, added that the tourism organisation has now made it mandatory for a sole foreign trekker to take a guide. He added that this decision has been taken after considering the safety of such trekkers.
