21. IS GUIDE COMPULSORY FOR THIS TREK ?
It is mandatory to hire a licensed trekking guide and a porter when you are trekking in the Manaslu Circuit, Tsum Valley Trek, Upper Mustang Trek, Dolpa Region Trek, Kanchenjunga region, and Makalu region. This is because the routes can be challenging, and navigation may be difficult at times. While shorter and easier treks can be undertaken independently, doing so is not one hundred percent safe and secure. Therefore, having a guide is crucial for all trekking routes in Nepal. Additionally, it is advisable to travel with a reputable trekking company that has experience operating in the region. Such a company can provide the necessary support and guidance throughout the trek.
