Annapurna region welcomes 48,500 plus foreign tourists in a month
The Annapurna conservation area has received an impressive number of foreign tourists at the beginning of the tourist season of the year 2026.
The Annapurna Area Conservation Project (ACAP) shared that a total of 48,513 foreigners visited different destinations in the region.
The visitors from the SAARC countries stood at 32,020, while 16,493 visitors were from other countries.
Chief of ACAP Dr Rabin Kadariya said that the number of tourists rose by 11,679 in March 2026 compared to the same month of 2025.
"Records show that 40 percent of the total tourists arriving in Nepal visit the Annapurna region. The number of Indian nationals is the highest among the South Asian tourists here," Chief Dr Kadariya added.
The time period from March to May is a key tourist season in Nepal.
Likewise, the number of domestic tourists in the ACAP destinations is on the rise due to the upcoming Nepali New Year and the annual session break for the schoolchildren.
Similarly, this is the best season for trekkers alike.
Annapurna Base Camp (popularly known as ABC), Mt. Mardi, Ghandruk, Tilicho Lake, Thorangla Pass, Upper Mustang, Ghorepani, Punhill and other sites in the ACAP are the key tourist destinations for visitors.
The ACAP covers 7,600 square kilometres of 15 local levels in Kaski, Lamjung, Manang, Myagdi and Mustang districts.
The ACAP is also one of the best trekking routes in the world for its astounding natural beauties, rich bio-diversity, mountainous life, rich culture and civilization.

Both sides struggled to break down well-organised defences in a largely cagey encounter.
Trump threatens to jail reporters if they don’t turn over Iran source
President Donald Trump threatened to force a news organization to turn over the name of an anonymous source who revealed details about a U.S. airman who went missing in Iran, The Washington Post reported.
Several outlets reported on the lost airman, who was subsequently rescued after his fighter jet was shot down.
“We’re looking very hard to find that leaker,” Trump said in a press briefing Monday. “They didn’t know there was somebody missing until this leaker gave the information. So whoever it was, we think we’ll be able to find it out because we’re going to go to the media company that released it, and we’re going to say, national security, give it up or go to jail.”
