Tourism in the Annapurna Conservation Area (ACAP) reached a new high in 2025, with 273,646 foreign visitors recorded between January and November. The total included 115,555 tourists from SAARC countries and 158,091 from other regions. April emerged as the busiest month, followed by October and March. The figure exceeds last year’s total by more than 29,000 visitors, highlighting a robust post-pandemic rebound. ACAP officials attribute the growth to improved trekking routes, safety measures, sanitation, transport connectivity and digital promotion, and remain optimistic about even higher arrivals in 2026.
