1. Group trekking: booked via agency, fixed itinerary/dates, guide+porters, group TIMS, shared costs, permits arranged by agency
2. FIT (Free Independent Trekker): self-organised individual, flexible route/schedule, previously paid individual TIMS (NPR 2,000), no agency
3. KEY 2023 UPDATE: since April 2023 solo/FIT trekking is banned in protected areas — licensed guide + agency-issued TIMS now mandatory; FIT in the old sense is effectively obsolete — quoting this in the exam shows current knowledge
4. Compare: cost per person, safety, flexibility, permits (links to MCQ-29)
