Trekking solo without a guide has been illegal in Nepal since April 2023 (with the Mt. Everest Region being the exception) for visitors from outside Nepal, but the ban was never really being enforced and as far as I know many people still do it. However, recently I have been seeing a lot of posts made by trekking operators since march 2026 that say that the ban is now being enforced for real now.
My question is: is it actually true or not? Anyone who trekked solo in Nepal in the last two months that can tell me more?
I was considering to do the Langang trek, but I'll switch to Kyrgistan, India or Jordan if the ban is being enforced. #hiking #activity source
