Unavoidable during treks are the police check posts where you will be checked for your permits. If you do not have the proper permits you can get fines up to double the normal rate and officers can check your paperwork at any time. Trying to bribe officers can get you in a lot of trouble and is strongly unadvised. Usually there will be two or three permits, the conservation area or national park permit, the Trekkers Information Management System (TIMS) Card and or the restricted area entry permit. You will need one or two or all of the permits mentioned above depending on your trek. It is strongly recommended to conduct a trek through a trekking agency as they will make sure your paperwork is all in order before starting the trek.
