The remote areas of Nepal have a lot to offer in the way of attractions and scenery to the valuable visitors.

To enter most of these areas you need special permits as they are protected areas for wildlife, the indigenous culture and fragile environment. The Himalayan scenery in these parts of Nepal is impressive.
