Route planning

Choosing a route: quick answers

Do I need a guide to trek in Nepal?

It depends on the route. Nepal Tourism Board maintains a list of trekking routes that require a licensed guide and an agency-issued TIMS card, including several Annapurna and Everest routes. Some short viewpoint walks are treated differently. Restricted areas always require a guide. Check the live list before you travel.

What is TIMS and do I need it?

TIMS is the Trekkers’ Information Management System. On listed routes a TIMS card is issued through a government-registered trekking agency alongside a licensed guide. It is separate from national-park and conservation-area entry permits, which have their own fees.

How do I know if a route is difficult enough for me?

Difficulty ratings only compare routes. Tell a guide how often you walk, the elevation where you live, any previous response to altitude, your comfort on steep or exposed trail, and the pace you enjoy. Then read the full day-by-day itinerary — if it already looks tight on paper, add time.
