Fees and permits

Annapurna Conservation Area entry for foreigners per the National Trust for Nature Conservation's e-permit page (SAARC nationals NPR 1,000; double at check-posts). The Tourism Board's own page still lists NPR 2,000, which looks out of date. A TIMS card at NPR 2,000 was set from April 2023. The guide rule was announced for foreign trekkers from April 2023, and reports say it is not strictly enforced in the Annapurna region.
