Tour Entry Fees in Nepal

Protected Areas: Permit and Entry Regulation

Nepal has developed 20 areas in its protection; four major groups are distinguished by them:

• National Parks

• Wildlife Reserves

• Conservation Areas

• Hunting Reserves

If it is the case that there is a different purpose under conservation policy for the same, it would further set forth differing entry specifications for each different category. The country covers a Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve, which is the only officially designated hunting reserve in the nation, and access is given after obtaining a special hunting license through the Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation.

All the above national parks and conservation areas require the relevant permits from any person to enter them. Such permits vary in cost depending on the area and whether the tourist is paid as a local or foreign tourist. The money is used for conservation and community development in that community.

World Heritage Sites & Cultural Sites: Entrance Fees for Visitors

Nepal holds some of the most striking examples of heritage belonging to culture. The country boasts 10 World Heritage Sites listed by UNESCO, 7 of which are situated inside the Kathmandu Valley and 3 outside it, all containing ancient temples, palaces, stupas, and other such monuments of historical importance.

It applies entrance fees to the above UNESCO-listed heritages, plus museums, zoos, and monument zones. These fees are variable due to location and visitor category (SAARC, non-SAARC, Nepali citizens) and, as a consequence, are levied for the maintenance and preservation of these invaluable sites.
