TIMS Information

Nepal Government assigns Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAAN) to implement Trekking Registration Certificate (TRC) now becomes TIMS Registration Required for trekkers.

Nepal’s tourism begins it’s new year, 2008, with a new system called Trekkers Information Management System (TIMS).
Nepal, has been called 'a Trekker's Paradise'. Its high standing mountains, scenic hills and the luxuriant Terai offers some of the most spectacular trekking routes in the world. Passing through the diverse culture and nature, trekking in Nepal is a life-time experience which involves a certain degree of physical risks owing to the rugged topography. 
With the distinction of Nepal as a trekking destination and its growing charm, a provision of Trekkers' Information Management System (TIMS) has been implemented to control illegal trekking operations and ensure safety and security of the trekkers in general trekking areas through the mechanism of Prompt Information Service as and when required .
The past experiences have shown that difficulties have been faced while carrying out rescue operations promptly during the times of accidents and natural calamities. Because of lack of proper record system of trekkers, their exact whereabouts and the information about trekking routes, rescue and search missions used to face difficulties in spotting the trekkers missing.
The provision of Trekkers' Information Management System (TIMS) has come into force from Jan 01, 2008. Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAAN) and Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) have started recording trekkers detail and issuing TIMS Card to trekkers.

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 get a TIMS Certificate and carry it with you during your trekking and after finishing your trekking take it with you for your best memory in a life. It is assumed that we Asian Travellers Treks & Expedition provide you this certificate making hassle free for you.
