Important notes
Dear Trekkers,
The Ticket you receive is for confirmation of the trek & your identity for me.
You will require a Trekking Permit and a Blue coloured card called TIMS for trekking which can be issued only at Nepal. 2 pp sized photos, passport details and USD 45.00 or equivalent amount is required to issue these documents. Its price is constant irrespective of time length. You are not allowed to issue these permits if you are doing the trek with a guide. I will issue these documents for you at Pokhara before we start trekking.
Due to the problem of trek overlap, I confirm your booking manually. Whenever I am on trek, sometimes I may be out of network for 2-3 days. In that case please contact my friend Yuvraj (Manager), at Prasiddhi Tours & Travels Pvt. Ltd., Lakeside if you are in hurry for my details.
