Restricted Area Trekking

Restricted Area trekking in Nepal takes you to remote and culturally rich regions that are off the beaten path. These areas require special permits and often have strict regulations to preserve their natural beauty and cultural heritage. Some of the well-known restricted area treks in Nepal include:

• Upper Mustang Trek: Located in the rain shadow of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, Upper Mustang is often referred to as a “hidden kingdom.” 
• Dolpo Trek: The Dolpo region, made famous by Peter Matthiessen’s book “The Snow Leopard,” is a remote and pristine part of Nepal. 
• Manaslu Circuit Trek: The Manaslu region is known for its rugged terrain and diverse landscapes, including lush forests, terraced fields, and high mountain passes. 
• Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek: Located in the eastern part of Nepal, the Kanchenjunga region is known for its breathtaking views of the world’s third-highest mountain, Kanchenjunga. 
• Tsum Valley Trek: Tsum Valley, nestled in the northern part of the Gorkha district, is considered a hidden gem of Nepal.

While restricted area trekking in Nepal may require more effort in terms of permits and regulations, the reward is an unforgettable adventure in some of the world’s most pristine and culturally rich landscapes.
