Nepal offers a wide range of trekking destinations, from popular trails to remote and culturally sensitive regions. Some of these trekking areas are classified as restricted areas of Nepal, where special permits are required for foreign trekkers.
To preserve local culture, environment, and border security, the Government of Nepal has made it mandatory to obtain a Restricted Area Permit (RAP) for these regions. These permits can only be issued through authorized trekking companies like Blossom Expeditions, and trekking with a licensed guide is compulsory in all restricted areas.
