Common Questions
ILP โ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get the ILP myself without using your service? +
Yes โ you can apply directly at the SDM office in Dharchula on arrival. However, you must be physically present in Dharchula, submit the forms yourself, and wait for processing. When you book with us, we handle everything in advance so your permit is ready when you arrive.
How long is the Inner Line Permit valid? +
The ILP is issued for the specific duration of your yatra. It covers the dates and destinations listed in your package itinerary.
Is the ILP free or does it cost money? +
The ILP itself has a nominal government fee of approximately โน100โ200 per person. This is included in our package price โ there is no extra charge.
Do children need a separate ILP? +
Yes. Every person travelling beyond the Inner Line โ including children โ requires their own ILP. For minors, a parent or guardian's ID is used along with the child's birth certificate.
What if my trip dates change after the ILP is issued? +
Contact us immediately. We will apply for a revised permit at the SDM office. This is straightforward if done before departure.
Is the ILP the same as the Tibet permit for Kailash Mansarovar? +
No. The ILP is for the Indian portion of the route (up to Lipulekh Pass). The Kailash Mansarovar yatra additionally requires a Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) permit and China Group Visa for crossing into Tibet โ we arrange these separately for Kailash Mansarovar packages.
