Trekkers Information Managment System (TIMS) - 01-Jan-2008

Nepal’s tourism begins it’s new year, 2008, with a new system called Trekkers Information Management System (TIMS).

The new system allows Nepal Tourism Board to better serve to trekkers in case of emergency and also better maintain records of trekkers in the country.

All trekkers must carry a valid TIMS, a free certificate that is now issued by Nepal Tourism Board and by Nepal Trekking Agents Association.

If you are trekking in Nepal, *PLEASE BE SURE* to ask your trekking agent for a TIMS Certificate and carry it with you. It is assumed that your trekking agent or operator should be able to give you this certificate making hassle free for you. Otherwise, you will need to walk or take a cab to visit NTB or TAAN office.

The certificate is free, and can be obtained from Nepal Tourism Board office in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Bhairahawa, Mahendranagar, and Kakarvitta.
