TREKKING PERMITS

Trekking permits are of a different kind as per the rules of the Nepal government. Permits for normal trekking areas and restricted areas are available in Nepal. If you plan to trek in two different areas you need to have two trekking permits.

As per the rules, the TIMS (Trekkers’ Information Management System) card is a permit. This permit will let you travel to all major trekking areas of Nepal.
