Welcome everybody.
As a new one here, but reading this MB regularly I want to put here the message, received yesterday from "my" nepalese trekking office:
We are glad to inform you that in an effort to attract more trekkers in the controlled areas, the government has revised permit fee in different controlled areas of the country. The revised permit fee will come to effect from 16th July, 2008.
a) As per the new provision, a trekker in Upper Mustang and Upper Dolpo has to pay US $ 500 or equivalent foreign currency per person for first 10 days. Likewise, fee for per extra day per person has been fixed at US$ 50 or equivalent foreign currency.
b) Trekker in Manasulu Region needs to pay US $ 70 for a week and US $ 10 per person for each extra day during September to November. However, only US $ 50 is charged per trekker per week during December to August and additional US$ 7 per trekker per each extra day.
c) Similarly, permit fee for Humla (Simikot-Yari) has been fixed at US$ 50 per person per week and US$ 7 per person per extra day.
d) Likewise, permit fee for Kanchanjunga, Lower Dolpa and Gaurishankar and Lamabagar has been fixed at US$ 10 per person per week. However, permit fee for Chekampar and Chunchet of Gorkha district (Sirdibas-Lhokpa-Chumling-Chekampar-Nile-Chule) has been fixed at US$ 35 per person for eight days during September to November and US$ 25 per person per eight days during December to August.
e) Similarly, the government has also revised existing tourist visa fee to be effective from 16th July, 2008. As per the new fee structure, US$ 25 or equivalent foreign currency is required to obtain Tourist Visa with Multiple Entry for 15 days. Likewise, Tourist Visa with Multiple Entry for 30 days can be obtained by paying US$ 40 or equivalent foreign currency. Similarly, Tourist Visa with Multiple Entry for 100 days can be obtained by paying US$ 100.
Likewise, the government has also revised fee required to extend days of stay and visa renewal. As per the revise fee structure, Tourist Visa can be extended by paying US$ 2 or equivalent Nepalese currency per day. Likewise, Multiple Entry facility can be obtained only for the extension period by additional US$ 20 and visa fee for the extended period. Similarly, tourists can renew their visa by paying Nepalese currency equivalent to US$ 3 on the regular visa extension fee.
Further we would like to inform you that more than three months after a wave of violent anti-China protests, Tibet has reopened to foreign tourists. China had closed Tibet to foreign tourists after riots erupted in mid-March. The decision to allow them back comes days after the Olympic torch's short, tightly-controlled visit to the region passed off smoothly.
Tibet is safe and tourists are welcome. All the tours and treks will be arranged now onwards
