Added 2023-04-08

From April 2023 all foreign trekkers and cyclists in protected areas must be accompanied by a licensed guide sourced through officially-approved agencies, in an effort to boost employment and increase safety. Around a third of trekkers did not hire guides according to the Nepal Tourism Board.
