Nepal's Restricted Trekking Region
These regions have been opened in the last few years by the Government in Nepal. A decision was made to limit the amount of tourists to these areas in an effort to preserve their unique cultural heritage of them. Permit fees are required in all three regions however these differ greatly (please refer to fees on the specific page relating to the region).
In the main these regions have retained much of their cultural identity and therefor provide somewhat more of a rare experience.
Vast reams of material have been written on Nepal over the years, in particular over the past fifty years with the successful summit of Mount Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. The past twenty has slowly seen Nepal become a well recognised holiday destination.
