fees/permits
The park permit fee is USD30 per person per day. However you will need guide, guards, porters and cook. This comes at an additional USD100 per person per day. The 6 day circle tour is fixed at USD780 for foreigners, including equipment and other costs, you should calculate USD950. You may object to this being too much, though this doesn't matter, because the Rwenzori Mountaineering Services RMS (http://www.rwenzorimounta...) have a monopoly on arranging travels in this area. There is talk of this changing, and it is possible that competing Rwenzori Community Walks will get permission within a few years. Check for updates at their website.
The less exhilarating and less expensive alternative, is to travel with Rwenzori Community Walks (http://www.backpackers.co...). They offer one and two day walks in the hills at 15000Ush and 50000 Ush respectively. As you walk only at the borders of the park, there is no additional fee
