Permits for Everest (Khumbu)

TIMS — not charged on any of Everest (Khumbu)'s own routes above, but contested
TAAN publishes a further breakdown by trekker type: Blue (group) TIMS NPR 1,000, Green (individual/FIT) TIMS NPR 2,000, SAARC group NPR 300, SAARC FIT NPR 600 — see https://www.taan.org.np/page/about-tims. Applicability in the Everest and Annapurna regions is contested as of the verifiedOn date. NTB's own TIMS page (this source) and TAAN's own TIMS page (https://www.taan.org.np/page/about-tims) both still list Everest and Annapurna trek routes as requiring TIMS, under a provision dated effective March 31, 2023, with no visible update since. Current operator practice, reported consistently across 2026-dated trekking-agency sites, describes TIMS as discontinued in Everest (replaced by the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Trek-Card) and no longer enforced on standard Annapurna routes, with checkpoints there said to verify only the conservation-area permit. We could not find a primary NTB, TAAN or DNPWC circular confirming that change, so neither position is asserted here.
