A famous trek in Nepal has decided to impose new tourist fee.

Tourists trekking in Machhapuchhre Rural Municipality of Kaski in نيپال must now pay a tourism fee.

Machhapuchhre Rural Municipality plans to impose fees on tourists to fund infrastructure development and maintenance. Different fees will be applied to domestic and international tourists, as per a recent decision.

The Rural Municipality has issued a notice regarding new tourist fees. Foreign tourists will be charged Rs 500 (US$4), and Nepali tourists will be charged Rs 100 (US$ 0.8) for using the trails within the municipality. These fees will support the construction and maintenance of infrastructure like information centers, solar lights, waste management, and other facilities on the tourist trail.

The tourism fee in Machhapuchhre Rural Municipality is determined based on the Municipality’s Economic Act 2080 BS, Schedule 6, Section 7, in accordance with local authorities’ rights, as explained by Ward Chairman Ram Bahadur Gurung.

The tourism fee serves the purpose of recording the number of trekking tourists visiting the four trekking routes within the municipality.
