International Trek & Trail Permit Watch

Track permits and access for international treks and climbs popular with US travelers. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: permit release dates, quotas, fees and rule changes for the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu, Everest Base Camp and Nepal trekking regions, Kilimanjaro, Torres del Paine, the New Zealand Great Walks, Tour du Mont Blanc huts, the Camino de Santiago, the Haute Route, Patagonia parks, Mount Fuji, the Kumano Kodo, the Overland Track, the West Coast Trail, Aconcagua, Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, Mount Kenya, the Salkantay, the Larapinta and the Lycian Way; guide, porter and group requirements; seasonal closures, reopenings and capacity limits; hut, camp and shuttle booking windows; altitude, weather, wildfire and safety advisories from park authorities; airline and gateway changes that affect access; tourist tax, insurance and rescue coverage requirements; and evacuation and rescue rule changes. Prefer park and ministry sites, official booking systems, hut associations, national tourism boards and established outdoor reporting; ignore tour operator marketing and unverified trip reports. Put the trek or country first in the title with the booking date or fee. Use high severity for a booking window opening within 14 days for a trek that sells out in a day, a new guide requirement, or a closure affecting a listed route. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, the rules, how to book, the date, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
