Remote Region Trek

Nepal's remote Himalayan region is always the great query for the adventure Explorers. They are always showing their interest for the high-altitude valleys, untouched Shangri-Las and pockets of pristine Himalayan culture. Our remote treks provide you the fabulous mountain scenery, ranged from the high-altitude Trans-Himalayan deserts of Mustang and upper Dolpo to the deep jungle gorges of Manaslu to Kanchanjunga. In October 1991 the Home Ministry finally announced the opening of Nepal's restricted remote areas. The catch was only group tours and high permit fees, ranging from US$90 to US$500 per week. The main objective of declaring these areas ' restricted' are supposed to protect the fragile environment and cultural integrity of these regions, and to provide security both for the safety of trekkers and the protection of Nepal's northern border with Tibet.

There are also political reasons for some restrictions. The Mustang region was long closed because a major foreign-aided military operation had been mounted there in support of the Khampas in Tibet.

Remote area treks are certainly pricier than the main teahouse treks and demand a different style of trekking, but the extra effort and expense is worth it. These remote corners hide some of most remarkable gems in the entire Himalaya.
