Permits & paperwork

This is an expedition-level product — Green Lake lies in a restricted zone and requires multiple clearances (Army, Forest Department and Home Department) that can only be arranged through registered agencies like ours. Departure dates are confirmed only after permits are issued, so book 60+ days ahead. Indian citizens need a govt. photo ID; foreign nationals need a Protected Area Permit (PAP) for Sikkim and additional Home Department clearance.
