Overland Track Pass (booking season) + Tasmania parks pass (winter)

Adults A$312; children (17 and under) A$272; concession A$272 (1 Oct–31 May). Winter (Jun–Sep) needs a valid parks pass, not this booking fee.

Mandatory booking in the walking season 1 October–31 May inclusive; walkers must travel north to south (Cradle Mountain → Lake St Clair). Adult pass A$312 includes park entry for the duration of the walk and the Cradle Mountain visitor-centre shuttle (Parks Tasmania Overland Track page, https://parks.tas.gov.au/explore-our-parks/cradle-mountain/overland-track, checked 2026-08-24; N→S confirmed on the FAQ, https://parks.tas.gov.au/explore-our-parks/cradle-mountain/overland-track/frequently-asked-questions, checked 2026-08-24). The Gemini 2026-08-25 A$160 / Nov–Apr lead is superseded by this official tariff and season. Winter (1 Jun–23 Sep) is a separate registration plus a parks pass, either direction. Huts are first-come; carry a tent (same official page, checked 2026-08-24). Fees are reviewed annually with CPI — confirm before travel.

CONAF park entry + campsite bookings

Park entry approx. CLP 35,000 (foreign, high season)

Section permits (Petra / Wadi Rum / Dana)

See notes — three authorities, no combined trail fee

No single Jordan Trail walking permit on https://www.jordantrail.org/ (checked 2026-08-20); the JT Pass is a trail passport, not a park ticket. Petra (PDTRA): archaeological-site ticket — accommodated visitors 50/55/60 JD for 1/2/3 days, non-accommodated one-day 90 JD (https://visitpetra.jo/en/Petrafees, checked 2026-08-20); buy at the Visitor Center or https://petrapass.pdtra.gov.jo/. Wadi Rum Protected Area entry: 5 JOD foreign / 1 JOD Jordanian (Jordan Tourism Board entrance-fees table, https://international.visitjordan.com/page/17/entrance-fees/, checked 2026-08-24). The Jordan Pass covers that entry (JTB, https://international.visitjordan.com/blog/external/7626/how-much-does-it-cost-to-go-to-petra-jordan/, checked 2026-08-24). ASEZA manages the reserve (https://aseza.jo/EN/Pages/Wadi_Rum_department, checked 2026-08-20). This is a section fee for the Wadi Rum reserve, not a whole-trail permit. Dana (RSCN): daily entrance JOD 10 non-Jordanian / 5 resident / 2 Jordanian, tax included, 2025 rate sheet https://www.rscn.org.jo/uploaded_files/reservation/Dana%202025-1.pdf (checked 2026-08-20); guided trail fees are separate on that sheet. Best season (https://www.jordantrail.org/planning-your-trip, checked 2026-08-23): north March–April, south February–March; September to mid-November is similarly pleasant — not a flat spring/autumn stamp.

ACAP (NTNC entry permit); TIMS commonly required

ACAP NPR 3,000 foreign / NPR 1,000 SAARC (NTNC e-permit, tax included); TIMS tariff not fetched from an official page this pass

ACAP single-entry tariff from NTNC e-permit (https://epermit.ntnc.org.np/, checked 2026-08-24); double fees if issued at a check-post. Wikivoyage notes ACAP and TIMS checks at Birethanti (https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Annapurna_Sanctuary, checked 2026-08-24). TIMS amount still not fetched from an official page — confirm with NTB before travel.

ACAP (NTNC entry permit)

NPR 3,000 foreign / NPR 1,000 SAARC (tax included)

ACAP entry permit, single entry. Official tariff from NTNC e-permit (https://epermit.ntnc.org.np/, checked 2026-08-24): NPR 3,000 foreign / NPR 1,000 SAARC, tax included. Double fees if issued at a check-post. Restricted pockets inside ACA need a separate Department of Immigration permit.

Sagarmatha NP entry + Khumbu Pasang Lhamu RM Trek-Card; TIMS contested

Sagarmatha NP NPR 3,000 foreign / NPR 1,500 SAARC / under-10 free (NTB park-entry table). Khumbu RM Trek-Card: operator-reported ~NPR 3,000; not confirmed on an official Khumbu Pasang Lhamu RM page — provisional.

Sagarmatha NP foreigners NPR 3,000 / SAARC NPR 1,500 / children under 10 free per person per entry (https://ntb.gov.np/en/plan-your-trip/before-you-come/park-entry-fees, checked 2026-08-24; SNP citizen charter https://snp.gov.np/citizen-charter, checked 2026-08-24). Khumbu Pasang Lhamu RM Trek-Card: operator-reported ~NPR 3,000; not confirmed on an official Khumbu Pasang Lhamu RM page — provisional (municipality trek-card URL https://khumbupasanglhamumun.gov.np/content/trek-card rechecked 2026-08-24; no official FY notice was found). Do not treat that amount as an official or dated fee. TIMS is contested: NTB’s TIMS page (revised 31 Mar 2023, https://ntb.gov.np/en/plan-your-trip/before-you-come/tims-card, checked 2026-08-24) still lists Everest Basecamp Trek under licensed-guide + agency-issued TIMS (NPR 2,000 / NPR 1,000 SAARC). Field practice may differ; no second official page waives it — TIMS status is not asserted either way. Do not substitute the Solukhumbu ward-5 RAP for the municipality fee.

DOC Great Walk hut/campsite booking

In the Great Walks season (27 October 2026 – 30 April 2027), bookings are required for the three huts and two campsites (DOC Kepler Track page, checked 2026-08-24). There is no separate walking permit. Overnight fees are published on that page (international adult hut $132 per person per night in season at Iris Burn, Moturau, and Luxmore; international adult campsite $42); they are overnight fees, not a trail walking fee. Bookings were open for the 2026/27 season when checked. Bookings sell out; confirm on the DOC page before travel.

DOC Great Walk hut/campsite booking

Great Walks season (23 Oct–30 Apr): adult NZ hut NZ$44 / international NZ$66 per person per night; campsite NZ$19 / NZ$28. Off-season (1 May–22 Oct): adult hut NZ$25 either visitor type.

Hut and campsite bookings are required year-round (DOC Tongariro Northern Circuit, checked 2026-08-24). Overnight fees are not a walking permit. For 2026/27 the Great Walk is available again after Oturere Hut replacement; the Whakapapa Village–Mangatepopo Hut section is closed after the 2025 Tongariro fire (DOC reduced published distance to 35.5 km from 44.9 km and recommends starting at Mangatepopo car park). That seasonal closure is a condition note, not this OSM line. Bookings were open for 2026/27 when checked. Confirm on the DOC page before travel.
