The government of Nepal has declared Manaslu region as a restricted area in order to control tourism influx in the region. Therefore, trekking independently is not allowed in this area and a special entry permit is required for this. Not just that, a minimum of two trekkers accompanied by a local guide or a porter only will be given the special permits. These permits, however, have to be processed through locally registered tour operators. By and large, you will require three different types of permit while trekking to Manaslu, namely Special Restricted Area Permit for Manaslu (Manaslu RAP), Manaslu Conservation Area Project (MCAP Permit), and Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP Permit). Himalayan Glacier will arrange all the paperwork and permits including arrival and departure pick-ups and drops while you are traveling to Nepal, so you need not worry about anything when traveling with us.
