Trekking has been one of the most important activities of tourists in Nepal. Four of the most popular trekking regions are Kanchenjunga, Everest, Manaslu, and Annapurna in Nepal.Trekkers have to acquire their permits, either from a trekking agent or from the appropriate offices in Kathmandu. Trekkers can find food and accommodation and meet other trekkers. Most of the trails are well-maintained and in many cases are sign-posted. The lodges have services and facilities for charging batteries and the villages have email facilities. Many treks start with a domestic flight in the Himalayan kingdom of Nepal and many are in remote areas with no road access. Trekkers can find a trail at any time. The southern areas of Nepal receive higher levels of precipitation. However, some routes along the Great Himalaya Trails lie in the rain shadow, namely Mustang to the north of Annapurna and Manaslu, Dolpo to the north of Dhaulagiri and the far west of Nepal to the north of Saipal Himal.
