President Mr. Madhu Sudan Acharya on an invitation participated in a meeting convened by Legislative Parliament on 26th January 2016 to discuss and provide the input to the government in regard to the existing rules regarding trekking activities in the restricted areas including Climbing Royalty and Trekking Permit Fee.
The meeting couldn’t draw any conclusive decision as the real stakeholders were not invited in the meeting. A separate committee was suggested to look into the issue and report the government. The committee included: department of immigration, Ministry of Home Affairs, Trekking Agencies Associaton of Nepal (TAAN), Nepal Association of Tour & Travel Agents (NATTA) and Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA).
