This is what I thought of as "CHECKPOINT NAMCHE", a point along the trail from Lukla to Everest Base Camp where trekkers had to sign-in and have their trekking permit, issued by the Nepal Government, checked for validity and be imprinted upon.
In attendance at least three local police and several local onlookers. The rudimentary checkpoint consists of a wooden desk and two chairs, one broken, and an old long-carriage typewriter.
The location is the Sherpa village of Namche Bazaar at over 11,000 ft. elevation; a few of the rows of houses can be seen in the background. It's considered to be the gateway to the high Himalaya, the 'Khumbu Himal'.
Back then tourist services were non-existent, but I read that now luxuries such as internet cafes, a bank, small hotels and even a beauty salon have infiltrated what I felt was near the very edge of civilization in those days and what lay beyond was exciting, relatively untouched territory.
I took these photos on a trekking holiday over 40 years ago from London via Kathmandu, Nepal (see earlier uploads) for a flight to Lukla where the only road-trail begins for most trekkers.
The route follows the steep-sided valley of the Dudh Kosi River, alternatively crossing the river in its gorge then along bench lands and through scattered Nepali and Sherpa villages.

No dia seguinte de uma viagem de 12 horas em um ônibus de Kathamandu a Jiri (1700m), inicia-se a caminhada que culmina no topo da montanha Kalla Pattar (5.545m), 13 dias depois. A jornada termina em Lukla, de onde um pequeno avião da Lumbini Airlines me leva de volta a capital do Nepal.

Trekking in Nepal's restricted areas requires special permits beyond the standard trekking permit. These areas, often near sensitive borders or in remote regions, have limited access to preserve local cultures and environments. To obtain a restricted area permit, trekkers must apply through a registered Nepali trekking agency.
