Trekking Permit and Entry fees

Most treks in Nepal require a trekking permit; the specific requirements and cost vary depending on the trekking location. Here are some basic details on trekking permits in Nepal:

  • The Department of Immigration in Kathmandu or Pokhara, or a licensed trekking service, are the places to get trekking permits for the majority of Nepal's areas.
  • Depending on the area, different trekking permits cost different amounts. For instance, the Sagarmatha National Park Permit, Annapurna Conservation Area Permit, and Langtang National Park Permit are needed for trekking in the Everest, Annapurna, and Langtang regions, respectively.
  • Certain areas could also need specific permits, such the Upper Mustang Permit or the Manaslu Restricted Area Permit, in addition to the trekking permits. The Department of Immigration issues these permits, and groups of trekkers must consist of at least two people.
  • In some areas, specific permits—like the TIMS (Trekkers' Information Management System) card—are no longer necessary. For the most recent criteria, check with the Department of Immigration or your trekking agency.
  • Because trekking permits are not refundable or transferable, you must carefully consider the dates and itinerary of your trek.
  • Throughout the walk, carry your permits with you at all times, as you can be stopped by officials for inspection.
  • To guarantee that you are abiding by the rules and supporting the community's economy, it is crucial to obtain permits from the Department of Immigration or from authorized trekking firms.

By obtaining the necessary trekking permits and following the regulations, you can enjoy a safe and responsible trekking experience in Nepal.
