Nepal tourism board has issued new guidelines for trekkers. Here is what you need to know

Local authorities in the Everest region have strongly opposed new guidelines saying that they limit the right to free movement of foreigners.

Despite the objection of the Everest region, the Nepal Tourism Board on Friday passed new guidelines for foreign trekkers, which ban foreign trekkers to visit Nepal’s national parks and conservation areas without a guide or a porter for the entire journey.
