Nepal’s Department of Immigration has digitised trekking permits for restricted areas, enabling travellers to apply online using their visa application number. The revised system also permits solo trekkers to apply independently, marking a significant shift in Nepal’s trekking regulations aimed at improving accessibility and streamlining permit processing for international visitors.
The move is expected to simplify travel planning for adventure tourists and reduce dependency on offline approvals and intermediaries. Nepal’s trekking sector has been progressively adopting digital systems to enhance visitor convenience and improve administrative efficiency as the country looks to strengthen its position in the global adventure tourism market.
