Trekkers&#8217; Information Management System (TIMS) card (NPR 1,000 per person through a registered agency). Both documents are processed in advance through our Kathmandu office and verified at park checkpoints along the trail.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1788855681758\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_a_licensed_guide_mandatory_for_Langtang_in_2027\"><\/span>Is a licensed guide mandatory for Langtang in 2027?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes.
