Trekking routes in the Nar-Phu region of Manang, including the trail to Kang La Pass, are open amid generally clear weather, according to the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP).
The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) has begun the process of introducing a satellite-based approach procedure at Pokhara International Airport, which is expected to reduce flight diversions and cancellations during adverse weather and low visibility.
Around 100 foreign tourists and 80 Nepali trekking workers remain stranded in the Manaslu region following a landslide and adverse weather in the Tsum Valley, prompting the Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) to seek urgent government coordination for their rescue.
Trekkers forced to abandon Manaslu itineraries because of flood-damaged trails will now be allowed to enter the Annapurna Conservation Area using their existing Manaslu permits, providing an alternative route during the peak trekking season.
