How to book / the process

GosainKunda Trek lists a permit as required: Langtang NP entry + TIMS card. The legacy issuer field names Department of National Parks / Nepal Tourism Board. Reservation on the record is “required”. The fee table above is the whole tariff this desk holds. Each row keeps its own issuer, source link, status, and the date that source was checked.

What the government or park issues is the row whose status is official and whose issuer is a public body. What an operator adds — a package day rate, a guide wage, a lodge deposit, a jeep — is not in that row unless the notes say so. These notes do not describe an operator add-on. Do not read a blank as permission to skip a local rule.

The stored best season for the trail is May–Nov (NTB / NTNC; Jan–Feb snowbound, checked 2026-09-21). Typical duration on the record is 7 days. A season window is not a permit quota. If the quota line names a lottery, a solo ban, or a closed month, that line is the restriction; the season string is only when the trail record says walking is usual.

Langtang National Park entry is required (https://ntb.gov.np/en/plan-your-trip/before-you-come/park-entry-fees, checked 2026-09-21); the park-table amount was not copied onto this sheet this pass — confirm live. TIMS NPR 2,000 foreign / NPR 1,000 SAARC (https://ntb.gov.np/en/plan-your-trip/before-you-come/tims-card, checked 2026-09-21).

Read the cost in the currency printed on the row. A muted dollar line, when present, is this desk's dated snapshot for the first amount in that string. It is not the price the issuer charges, and it is omitted when this snapshot has no rate for that currency. Confirm the live tariff on the issuer page linked from the row before you pay anyone.
