Trekking Permit in Nepal

A trekking permit is required for trekking in Nepal. The trek permit and costs required to trek in any region of Nepal are issued by the Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAAN) or the Immigration Department of Nepal. Trekkers who are traveling to Nepal’s unrestricted areas are issued permission by TAAN.

When non-Nepali trekkers travel to the forbidden area of the Himalayas, the Immigration Department is in charge of the necessary permissions. Trekkers must pay USD 20 for the TIMS Card in addition to the Conservation Area or National Park Fee in order to trek in non-restricted areas of Nepal. The permit cost varies by location when trekking in the prohibited areas.
