Nepal Restricted Area Trekking

Nepal is a “paradise on the earth” due to her numerous natures beauties, hidden valley, people unique culture and custom. Government of Nepal has focused on tourism for country’s welfare, even though a number of the remote areas of Nepal were restricted for foreign visitors until 1991 where the entry of foreigners is strictly controlled and even some areas are restricted still. Many trekking areas that may be suggested on a map are in restricted area. To visit those Restricted Region you either cannot get a permit or must travel with a liaison officer and pay for a special permit. The Walunchung Gola, Rolwaling and the route to Nangpa La in Khumbu region are still specifically closed to foreigners.

The Restricted Area Trekking is different in many features from ordinary ones. Many treks that may be suggested on a map are in restricted areas and you either cannot get a permit for these areas. For those Trekking region groups must consist of a minimum of two clients and the required fully arranged through registered Trekking Company to be fully equipped with tent, all Support staffs, cooks, etc. As a curiosity why these areas are exist as restricted. In most cases, it is a hangover from a time when the border with China was more sensitive than it is now. To protect the natural environment, particularly the Nepal Nature Conservation Society, are pressuring the government to keep some places closed for ecological reasons to avoid both cultural and environmental degradation from outside influences, that why these area declaring as “restricted”. The environmental officer has to handle all the formalities with the police force and government offices in route. The trekking agency arranges the Restricted Area Trekking permit through a series of applications and guarantees letters. You cannot trek alone in the Restricted Area in Nepal. Trekkers require support when something goes wrong (accident, illness or theft), the government restricts some areas because it doubts that it could provide the security that trekkers need. And there are also political reasons behind the some Restrictions Trekking in Nepal. For example, in the 1970s, the Jomsom trek was closed because a major foreign-aided military operation had been mounted there in support of the Khampas in Tibet.

Recently, there are no longer any officially Restricted Areas in Nepal. The immigration office rules now state of affairs that "trekkers are not allowed to trek in the notified areas previously known as restricted". Rather than get involved in this entire semantic obstacle, the term "restricted" is used here to refer to places that are closed to trekkers, or open to trekkers only when accompanied by a policeman (a liaison or "environmental" officer). It might be many cases on the decision to open or close certain parts of Nepal to foreigners. Recent changes have liberalized both trekking and climbing, and there is considerable pressure to open more areas to trekkers.
