TAAN concerned on Upper Mustang, Dolpo issues
A delegation of Trekking Agencies' Association of Nepal (TAAN) met with Minister for Tourism and Civil Aviation Sharat Singh Bhandari and expressed concerned over the decision of the people of Upper Mustang to bar trekkers from entering the area from October 1.
It also drew the government's attention over the Dolpa District Development Committee's decision to collect Rs 500 each from trekkers to Dolpo region from the coming season. The delegation also said the imposition of additional fees and obstructions on popular trekking routes could make negative impact on the tourism industry ahead of Nepal Tourism Year 2011.
