The Nar Phu Valley Restricted Area Permit is a special trekking permit required for foreign visitors entering the designated restricted area of Manang.
Nar and Phu are among Nepal's remote Himalayan settlements, and access to the area is regulated by the Government of Nepal.
The permit authorizes trekking within the approved restricted area and according to the dates and itinerary submitted during the permit application.
Trekkers should keep the permit with them throughout the trek and present it when requested at official checkpoints.
Foreign trekkers cannot simply obtain the Nar Phu Restricted Area Permit at a normal trekking checkpoint. The permit is arranged through a registered trekking agency in Nepal as part of the official permit application process.
At Nepal Everest Himalaya Hiking Pvt. Ltd., we arrange the required trekking permits as part of your Nar Phu Valley trekking preparation.
The general process is:
The permit application requires supporting documents and information. These may include:
The exact documentation is subject to the current government permit procedure.
Yes. The Government of Nepal requires restricted-area trekking permits to be processed through an authorized trekking agency.
This means foreign trekkers planning the Nar Phu Valley Trek should arrange their restricted-area permit through a registered trekking company in Nepal.
Using an experienced trekking agency also makes the permit process easier because the agency can prepare the required documents, submit the application, arrange payment and provide the issued permit before the trek begins.
The Nar Phu Restricted Area Permit is not the only permit associated with the trek.
Depending on your exact itinerary and current trekking regulations, additional permits may be required.
The Nar Phu Valley Trek passes through the Annapurna Conservation Area. An Annapurna Conservation Area Permit is therefore required for the applicable trekking route.
The ACAP is a separate permit from the Nar Phu Restricted Area Permit, and its fee should not be confused with the restricted-area permit fee.

A TIMS Card may also be required depending on the current regulations and the exact trekking route.
Because Nepal's trekking permit procedures can change, trekkers should confirm the latest requirements before departure.

It is best to arrange the required permits before entering the restricted area.
Your trekking agency can prepare the application based on your confirmed itinerary, trekking dates and passport information.
Planning the permit arrangements in advance helps ensure that all required documents are ready before your journey into the Nar Phu Valley.
The restricted-area permit fee is calculated according to the number of days covered by the permit.
If additional days are required beyond the initial 7-day period, the applicable additional daily fee must be paid according to the current government fee schedule.
Any change to the approved itinerary should be discussed with your trekking agency so that the necessary permit arrangements can be made according to government regulations.
Before beginning your trek, keep these points in mind:
For trekkers planning a Nar Phu Valley Trek in 2026 or 2027, the current government fee schedule should be used when calculating the permit budget.
The current restricted-area permit rates are:
September–November: USD 100 per person for the first 7 days
