SPECIAL
TREKKING AREAS: |
|
In Nepal, there are some areas where the special permit
is necessary to make trips. In October 1991 the government
of Nepal announced the opening of some restricted area
in Nepal for trekking purpose and the most of attraction
was directed at upper Mustang and upper Dolpa. The major
trekking opened in 1991 for tourists’ are-
- upper Dolpa and Nupri
- upper Mustang
- North side of Manaslu
- Humla to Mt. Kailash (Please click
Kailash Trek section)
The regulations for the restricted areas were designed
primarily to protect the environment and culture of remote
region and to provide security. In this period, the government
of Nepal changed the rules for these areas, as tourists
can visit these areas easily but they have to take special
permit which is more expensive than other areas. For to
make trip in these area, a group is necessary; no individual
tourist can enter the area.
In 2002 the government of Nepal opened the other restricted
areas and trekking peaks for tourist. These areas are
the borders of Tibet. Mainly ‘Lopa’ and ‘Khampa’
are the peoples of these areas related with the Tibetan
culture and society. |
