Trekking Guide and TIMS Card: As of March 31, 2023, new regulations have been introduced regarding trekking in specific protected areas of Nepal. These rules mandate that trekkers in designated regions must be accompanied by a licensed trekking guide and possess a TIMS (Trekkers’ Information Management System) Card issued by a government-recognized trekking agency. This initiative aims to enhance the safety and overall experience for trekkers exploring the magnificent Himalayan landscape.
