Do not schedule an international return immediately after the planned mountain flight. Swipe to view table → | Access option | Best use | Planning issue | | --- | --- | --- | | Direct flight to Kathmandu | Fastest for most Indian cities with service | Airfare, baggage and arrival timing vary | | Overland via an official border | Useful for nearby north Indian origins | Allow immigration time and a separate Kathmandu transfer | | Train or road plus Nepal connection | Budget-led multi-stage journey | Protect extra time for delays and baggage handling | ## Permits and current guide rule for Indian travellers Nepal Tourism Board's published park schedule lists Langtang National Park entry at NPR 1,500 for SAARC visitors. Indian trekkers should carry the identity document specified by the issuing authority and agency. Current NTB TIMS guidance lists Langtang Valley among routes requiring a licensed trekking guide and TIMS issued through a registered trekking agency. The Langtang local Trek Card or visitor entry is a separate local requirement; confirm the current process and amount before departure. Local Planning Note · Amigo Treks Team **Field advice** SAARC treatment does not mean every route fee, insurance term or agency service is discounted. ## Build the budget in NPR, then convert to INR Use the current bank or card conversion rate only when paying. INR and NPR are linked currencies, but acceptance, denomination limits and change availability can still create practical problems; carry usable NPR for the trail. Swipe to view table → | Budget line | What to include | | --- | --- | | India–Kathmandu | International or overland transport, baggage and transfers | | Kathmandu–Syabrubesi sector | Flights, possible Kathmandu road transfer and delay nights | | Trek package | Guide, porter if selected, lodges, meals, permits and agency support as itemised | | Personal trail cash | Drinks, charging, Wi-Fi, showers, snacks and tips | | Contingency | Flight delays, extra accommodation, route changes and medical support | ## Insurance, gear and trip format - Buy a policy that explicitly covers trekking above 5,000 metres and medically necessary helicopter evacuation. - Check exclusions, authorization steps and whether treatment and repatriation are included. - Bring tested footwear and personal layers; selected sleeping bags, down jackets and trekking poles can be rented in Kathmandu after inspection. - A private trek costs more but allows pace and service to fit one party; a group can share guiding cost but uses fixed dates and group pacing.
