Gurkha. District Administration Office Gorkha has requested not to walk in Manaslu area for the next three days. On this Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the administration office has banned trekking because there is a high risk of heavy snowfall, blizzards and avalanches in the highlands and Himalayan areas.

"Pedestrians who have obtained permission to hike in any prohibited area in high hills and Himalayas are requested not to hike during that period and if they have gone on a hike, stay in a safe place", the district administration office said in a statement on Thursday.
