Nepal Government assigns TAAN to implement Trekking Registration Certificate (TRC)Registration Required for trekkersWith a view to checking
illegal operations in the trekking industry and ensuring safety and
security of trekkers, the Nepal Government has introduced a new rule
that requires all trekkers to go on trekking in various parts of the
country only through registered trekking agencies after obtaining a
Trekking Registration Certificate (TRC) from Trekking Agents
Association of Nepal (TAAN). As an umbrella organization of more than
550 registered trekking companies of Nepal, TAAN has been authorized by
the Nepal Government to issue TRC and the new rule is scheduled to come
into force from October 1, 2006. TAAN will charge a minimum
amount of money as administrative and service fee for issuing TRC. As a
record of trekkers, TRC incorporates their personal details, trekking
routes, duration, etc. The provision is introduced in order
to upgrade the service standard and for better management of
sustainable mountain tourism development in Nepal. Trekking without TRC
is illegal and subject to charge fines and other punishments in
accordance with the laws of the Nepal Government. Importance and Necessity of TRCIt is very important to have a
kind of monitoring and facilitating system in place for any sort of
outdoor activity that involves physical risk. Trekking is a major
outdoor activity in Nepal's mountain tourism. Given the rugged physical
condition and remoteness of almost all trekking areas of Nepal's
Himalayan mountain region, a record system is very essential that would
be helpful in monitoring the safety and security of trekkers. The past
experiences have shown that difficulties have been faced while carrying
out rescue operations promptly during the times of 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 Nepal Government is very serious about implementing TRC as a mechanism to control all sorts of anomaly, including illegal operations, and to ensure safety and security of trekkers. Therefore, TAAN, as a national tourism organization working in the field of sustainable mountain tourism in Nepal, has been entrusted with the responsibility of implementing TRC. As per TAAN’s proposed hassle-free procedure, TRC is being issued to each and every trekker traveling only through the registered trekking agencies. The decision regarding the
introduction of TRC is a welcome step taken in its policies and
programmes by the Nepal Government. So, TAAN is in the process of
developing a well-managed and efficient system with nominal service
charge of Nepali rupees 250 (equivalent US$ 3.5 only) to implement TRC
in the open trekking areas of Nepal. TRC is going to be issued from
convenient locations of Kathmandu and Pokhara. TRC Issuing SystemThe following considerations have been taken into account in the process of issuing TRC: 1. All important details of trekkers and trekking routes will be maintained on a computerized record system that may be useful for safety and security of trekkers and field-staff. 2. The data generated from the system will be useful to all stakeholders -- tourism organizations, government agencies, diplomatic missions, tour operators, research institutes, etc. 3. Unauthorized trekking operations will be controlled, thus, resulting into better management of trekking service and in benefit of all concerned - trekkers, agencies, field - staff, government, etc. and also occasional untoward incidents will be better prevented. 4. TAAN will be able to work more in its effort of preservation of natural and cultural environment in cooperation with local communities. This, in turn, will enable to promote sustainable tourism. 5. The issue of TRC will be so simplified that it would be prompt and inexpensive. The convenient TRC counter in Kathmandu will remain open 12 hours a day all the seven days a week round the year. Pokhara counter will be opened for 9 hours a day. The TRC counters will be located close to the counters of the National Parks and Conservation Areas. 6. TAAN’s Media Centre will have updated information about the conditions of trails and other relevant insights into the trekking areas. The same information also will be updated frequently in the TAAN's web page. Some of the check posts along the trekking routes will be equipped with telephone services by TAAN. TRC Regulatory Provisions1. Trekkers must keep Trekking Registration Certificate (TRC) along with them while trekking. 2. TRC must be shown to TAAN authorities, National Park check posts, Conservation Area Project’s check posts and police check posts on demand. 3. Deviation from the prescribed trekking areas shall be taken as a violation of law of the Government of Nepal 4. Trekkers must keep their copies of passports along with them during trekking for verification. 5. TRC shall be non-transferable, non-refundable and non-endorsable and valid only for single entry. AppealTAAN also requests all concerned stakeholders to help disseminate the above information to potential trekkers to Nepal and other related offices and agencies. Any inconvenience that may arise due to implementation of this new rule is regretted. Thank you for your kind
support and cooperation. |
