Registration and flight permission

Nepal has great mountain value, but foreign visitors should register first and get flight permission.

Bring it: Carry CAAN registration and permission documents in case customs or police ask.
Register it: CAAN publishes an online drone registration/UIN process.
Fly it: Not a casual fly-anywhere destination; foreign documentation is required.
Map check: Avoid airports, security areas, crowds, heritage sites, and national parks without specific permission.

Max altitude: Permit-specific; use 120 m / 400 ft as a conservative ceiling unless CAAN authorizes otherwise.
Commercial work: Requires CAAN permission and likely local, client, or government clearances.

Registration, import, and commercial-work rules can change at the border even when the flight looks identical.
