Trekkers heading to Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) need to obtain the required trekking permits before entering the Annapurna region.
For a standard Annapurna Base Camp Trek, the following permits are required:
The TIMS Card is required for trekking routes in the Annapurna region, including the Poon Hill–Annapurna Base Camp Trek.
Current TIMS fee:
Foreign nationals: NPR 2,000 per person
SAARC nationals: NPR 1,000 per person
TIMS is issued through a government-registered trekking agency, and the Annapurna routes covered by the current TIMS provision require trekkers to be accompanied by a licensed trekking guide.
The Annapurna Base Camp Trek enters the Annapurna Conservation Area, so trekkers must obtain an Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP).
Current ACAP fee:
Foreign nationals: NPR 3,000 per person per entry
SAARC nationals: NPR 1,000 per person per entry
The ACAP permit is required for entry into the Annapurna Conservation Area and applies to trekking routes within the protected area..jpeg)
For the standard Annapurna Base Camp Trek, there is no restricted-area trekking permit such as the special permits required for areas such as Upper Mustang or parts of Manaslu.
However, if your itinerary includes additional restricted or specially regulated areas outside the standard ABC route, different permits or fees may apply.
