Changes in TIMS provision from April 1

Trekking Agencies' Association of Nepal (TAAN) and Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to implement Trekkers' Information Management System (TIMS) in a new format from April 1. As per the new provision, two separate TIMS Cards have been introduced for trekkers travelling in groups and those travelling independently (FITs). Trekkers travelling in groups and taking the service of agencies need to have Blue TIMS Card by paying US $10 per person, while the FITs need to have Green TIMS card by paying US $20 per person. Trekkers can get Blue TIMS Cards from TAAN Secretariat in Maligaon, TAAN Pokhara Secretariat in Pokhara and government authorized trekking agencies across the country. Similarly, FITs can get Green TIMS Cards from the offices of NTB in Kathmandu and Pokhara, TAAN Secretariat in Maligaon and TAAN Pokhara Secretariat. The introduction of new TIMS cards will automatically annul the old TIMS cards and trekkers carrying old TIMS cards can be returned from checkpoints.
