Do I need a trekking permit?

Yes, you will require a trekking permit for trekking in Nepal. Trekking permits are separate from your visa and can be obtained in Kathmandu or Pokhara. It will require your visa copy, permit fee, and a passport photo. Different regions—like Everest, Annapurna, and Langtang—require specific permits, and mountain climbing or peak expeditions need a separate one. Permits only cover designated trekking areas, not the whole country.
