FITs are allowed to trek inside the national parks or conservation areas. To obtain a trekking permit for these regions you need to fill up a form and submit it with a copy of your passport and passport size photo attached at the Nepal Tourism Board Office.

Similarly, group trekkers from SAARC countries have to pay Rs 300 for TIMS cards, while FITs from the SAARC region have to pay Rs 600 each. Although the majority of the trekking regions in Nepal require a TIMS permit, the permit is only valid for the trekking area/route as mentioned in the permit.
