Tourism resumed in Nepal's Manaslu Conservation Area, with 116 tourists entering within a week after Budhi Gandaki floods damaged trekking routes. The floods disrupted a corridor that supports local trekking livelihoods.
Trekking income supports guides, lodge owners, and porters in the region. Route access determines whether that money reaches local communities.
