FAQs

Q1. What is Restricted Area trekking in Nepal?

Keeping in mind to preserve natural beauty, culture, traditions and conserving wild lives and birds of some mountainous trekking areas, the Government of Nepal has recognized those areas as restricted area trekking and foreigners are not allowed to visit these areas unless they get a special permit.

All the remote areas are physically demanding as it requires a 7-8 hours daily hike, cross over several mountain passes and walk through places untouched by mass tourism.

As long as you are in average physical shape or reasonably fit and have a positive attitude, self-confidence and strong determination, you can do camping trekking in the Himalayas.
