albertet · May 2nd, 2008, 15:33

I have seen in one thread that there is a daily fee of 20 rupee for still camera and 250 fee for video camera if you go trekking to Goecha La.
Can anybody confirm this and give more specific details (web link...)
Thanks ¡¡¡

Thanks a lot. The camera stuff is now clear. I understand from that link that is 1000 rupee for all trek.

The thing I do not understand is that there seems to be a trekking fee of 300 US dollar for trekking groups 5 to 10 members + a Kanchenzonga entry fee of 200 rupees per person for the first 5 days and after that 50 each person/day.

Is that trekking fee for something different of Kanchenzonga ???
