Advisory for anyone planning an autumn trek in Nepal: TAAN has just released a detailed safety update following last week's flash floods, and most of the country's iconic trails are still open and safe.
Everest, Annapurna, Manaslu, Kanchenjunga, Dhaulagiri, Dolpa, Humla and the Far West regions are all unaffected. Langtang, Gosaikunda, Ganesh Himal and Ruby Valley remain safe too, though a few access roads are closed — TAAN has mapped out alternative routes for each.
The only major closure right now is the Kailash Mansarovar route via Rasuwagadi/Kerung, which was hit hard by the floods. Alternatives via Tatopani, Hilsa, or flying into Lhasa are being recommended instead.
One heads-up for Manaslu trekkers: a bridge collapse at Malekhu means you'll need to reroute via Benighat-Arughat to reach Machhekhola and Jagat.
If you've got a trip booked or are planning one, this is worth a read before you finalise your itinerary. Tag a friend who's planning a Nepal trek this autumn!
