Restricted area Trekking

As scenic, interesting, culturally enriching and historic as the major treks may be, you should consider a trek to other regions. Although there are restrictions involved with the issuance of trekking permits, and some areas are still closed in Nepal that are both fascinating and accessible. Many trekkers make the mistake of varying their route by attempting a 5500 to 6000 meter high pass. Upon reaching the pass they discover that they, their equipment or other members of the party are totally unfit for the cold, high elevation that the pass present. Often the problems force the party to turn back, severely altering their schedule. In the end, they fail to reach their primary goal. It is best to plan a high pass crossing after achieving the major goal of the trek-usually on the return to Kathmandu.
