Plan your Nepal trek on facts, not sales pages

What permits cost, who needs a guide, what agencies charge, and whether the agency you are emailing is a real TAAN member. Every fee names its source and the date we checked it.

Why this site exists

Trek prices, permit fees and the guide rule change often, and most pages about them are written by people selling treks. We publish what the issuing authorities say, show both sides when sources disagree, and check agencies against the trade association's own directory. About and method.
