Jagat is a neat, stone-paved village at about 1,340 m in the lower Budhi Gandaki gorge. It marks the start of the Manaslu Conservation Area and restricted area, where permits are checked.
Quick answer: Show your restricted area permit and conservation area permit here. The Manaslu area is restricted: you need a restricted area permit and a licensed guide (solo trekkers can get the permit since 22 March 2026).
