In order to enter protected areas in Nepal, it is necessary to obtain a National Park Entry Fee in advance. The process of acquiring this fee varies depending on your travel route. If you plan to visit a restricted area, you must obtain an entry permit from the Department of Immigration Center in Dillibazar. For trekking permits, you can obtain them at Bhrikutimandap in Kathmandu. If you are visiting a local national park, you can obtain the permit at the entry point of the park.
The national park entry fee in Nepal varies based on nationality. Nepalese nationals are charged a lower fee, while SAARC nationals are required to pay an average cost. Citizens of other nations, categorized as foreigners, are charged higher fees.
