in that time of the year there are chances of getting snow in that area. and the route is through dense forest so guide is must.

We are carrying a compass.we trying to get topo maps of that area. If we succeed getting one then we can navigate ourselves. I was enquiring if it is compulsory to take a guide?

Yes guides are a must. They have an union & you have to book your guide-cum-porters thru them. Also the route thru dense forest helps when a local is accopnaing you.
