Guides Mandatory for Trekking in Nepal
As of April 2023, hiring a licensed guide is mandatory for trekkers. This ensures safety, navigation, emergency support, and local insights, especially in remote regions where solo trekking can be dangerous.
Transportation in Nepal
Nepal has domestic flights, buses, jeeps, and taxis. While flights save time for remote treks, buses and jeeps provide budget-friendly alternatives. In Kathmandu and Pokhara, taxis and ride-sharing apps are common.
