A number of the remote areas of Nepal were restricted for foreign visitors until 1991 where the entry of foreigners is strictly controlled. These trekking areas are different in many features from ordinary ones. Many treks that may be suggested on a map are in restricted areas and you either can not get a permit for these areas. You must travel with a liaison officer and pay for a special permit. Groups must consist of a minimum of two clients and the required staffs. The main objective of declaring these areas ' restricted' is to protect the natural environment and culture from outside influences. The environmental officer has to handle all the formalities with the police and government offices in route. The treks must be fully arranged through Trekking Company.You cannot trek along in the restricted area.

Permits & Formalities
A trek to a restricted area must be arranged as a fully equipped organised trek through a trekking agency. The trekking agency arranges the permit through a series of applications, guarantees and letters, a process that requires about two weeks and can be started only 21 days before the arrival of the group. You may not trek alone; there must be at least two trekkers in each group. For some areas there is a limit to the number of trekkers per season. There is no system of advance reservation, and no clear indication of what will happen if the quota is reached the day before you make an application.
Each group is assigned an "environmental officer" who will accompany it during the trek. Despite the fancy name, what you will get is a Nepalese policeman who you must equip, insure and take on the trek. The liaison officer is supposed to handle all the formalities with police and government offices en route.

The local homes dotted all around the hillsides are thatched and painted in the traditional manner.

Thousands of Hindu pilgrims visit the lakes during a full- moon festival in August and Hindu people believe that the god Mahadev (Shiva), intoxicated by grief due to his wife’s (Pārbati) death, felt thirsty so he hit the stone with his holy stick, thus creating the lakes. In the same place Lake Gosaikunda originates and Hindu people believe that the image of Mahadev can be seen in the middle surface of the water. The lake is also scared to Buddhists.
This is a journey with numerous highlights, stunning views of Ganesh Himal, Manaslu and Annapurna massif as far as you can see.
