Disruptions to Nepal trekking routes

Overview

Nepal’s trekking routes, including the Everest Base Camp and Annapurna regions, have faced significant disruptions due to monsoon weather and local infrastructure concerns.

Heavy rains caused flooding in the Manaslu region, where the Therang Khola River destroyed houses and suspension bridges, effectively severing the Manaslu Circuit. As a result, some climbers have resorted to using helicopters to reach base camps, and authorities have advised trekkers to postpone their trips.

In the Manang district, local residents have implemented a ban on heavy vehicles on the Besisahar-Chame road to protect the rain-degraded route from damage caused by hydropower construction trucks. While tourist jeeps and local passenger vehicles remain permitted, travelers to the Annapurna Circuit are advised to maintain flexibility regarding transport status.
