TREK IN RESTRICTED AREA OF
NEPAL |
 |
|
|
|
Some of the remote areas of Nepal were
restricted for foreign visitors until 1991.
After multiparty
democracy in Nepal, rule has been changed
together with new democratic constitution
regulation and opened for visiting the most
inaccessible and firmly controlled area in
Nepal. The regulation designed primarily to
protect the environment and cultural of the
remote regions and provide the security and
safely for both foreign trekkers and Nepal's
northern boarder with China.
The treks must be fully arranged through
registered Trekking Company. It has to be fully
equipped with tent, all Support staffs, cooks,
etc. The trekking agency arranges the trekking
permit through a series of applications and
guarantees letters. You cannot trek along in the
restricted area. You should be at least 2 people
in the group. Each group has accompanied with a
government environmental officer. The
environmental officer has to handle all the
formalities with the police and government
offices in route. Here are some restricted
trekking routes, where we arrange trekking trip. |

Mustang Tiji Festival Trek
|
 |
The small and isolated
Trans-Himalayan "kingdom" of
Mustang occupies just over
3,000 square kilometres with
an average altitude of 1,000
metres, just below the Photu
La pass (1,600m), which is
itself only 75m above the
Tsangpo plain of Tibet. In
all respects,
geographically, climatically

Around Manaslu Trek
|
 |
This trek was officially
opened to tourists in 1991,
but mountaineering
expeditions have long had
access to the area. Manaslu
(8156m) was attempted by
Japanese expeditions every
year from 1952 until 1956,
when the first ascent was
made. Having become known as
a "Japanese mountain", much
of the information about the
area was available only in
Japanese. The Japanese
continued to dominate the
climbing scene on Manaslu
until 1971.

Nar & Phoo Valley Trek

North of Koto Village and
way to Manang there we can
find desolate valleys of Nar

frontier and restricted to
the foreigners, it has been
recently opened by Nepalese
Government under the new
regulations. So what we did
last time we repeat it again
- visiting these
unfrequented valleys.
Still foreigners are the
strangers to the locals; you
can feel the innocent stare
of eyes to |

Upper Dolpo Trek

Dolpa is located in the shy-
Phoksundo National park of
mid- western Nepal, behind
the Dhaulagiri massif,
towards the Tibetan plateau,
cut off by a series of very
high passes and closed by

Dolpa remains a truly
isolated corner of Nepal.
Time has stood still here
for centuries as inhabitants
of Tibetan stock continue to
live, cultivate and trade
the way they have done since
time immemorial. The finally
