Traveler Reviews
A wonderful & interesting trek overall. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances ( heavy snow fall & Lie ping with a bad cold) we were unable to cross the Ganja la pass. However, our guide Simbir offered us as alternative trek which took us on a difference journey of Nepal. We had the opportunity to visit & stay in many local villages and meet Tamang, Gurung people experience, their lifestyle and culture. We visited our guide’s home town of Chalishgaun and timed it right to join in with Diwali celebrations!Lie Ping Tang & Robert

The cost of a TIMS card is NPR 2000. You can get it from a Nepal Tourism Board Office or any other licensed Trekking agency in Nepal.

The price of the national park entry permit for a foreign national is NPR 3000, and it is NPR 1500 for the members of SAARC nations. It is valid for 60 days.
