Departments Issuing Permits!
Trekkers should be permitted to organize their Trek in the Manaslu Region of Nepal. Trekkers have to take special Trekking Permits from the different departments of Nepal, such as the Trekking Department of the Nepal Immigration Office and the Nepal Tourism Board Office. The Trekking Department of the Nepal Immigration Office is situated at Kalikasthan, Anamnagar in Kathmandu, and is open from Sunday to Friday during Nepali office hours (9 to 5 pm). The office will be closed on a public holiday.
Nepal Tourism Board Office is also situated in Kathmandu and will issue the MCAP and ACAP. This office is also open from 9 am to 5 pm throughout the week. However, trekkers don’t have to worry about the permits; Frolic Adventure will carefully organize trekking packages with appropriate permits before going for the Manaslu Trek in Nepal. To get Trek Permit permission from the Government of Nepal, trekkers should have these required documents, including the original passport with the visa of Nepal along with the arrival stamp, four passport-sized photos, and registration documents from the Trekking Agency in Nepal.

While trekking in the Manaslu Region, people cannot travel alone; they should walk in groups with a registered guide and a local operator. If the trekkers have a restricted area permit for the Manaslu trek, they don’t need to take a TIMS (Trekkers Information Management System) Card. However, it will be necessary if you are trekking in Jomsom, Muktinath, and Pokhara. It would be best to have individual Entry permits before entering the Annapurna and Manaslu Conservation Areas.
