The government has decided to remove the long-standing flat permit fee for foreign trekkers entering Upper Mustang.
In the previous rule, every foreign national had to pay a fixed $500 for a 10-day permit, whether they stayed the entire period or not. An additional $50 was charged for each extra day beyond the initial 10 days. This rule has been replaced with a $50-per-day charge that matches the actual length of a visitor’s stay.
