The Nepalese portion of the Himalayas was "long remote from the main pathways of international tourism." The first Americans and Europeans did not enter the region until 1950. Up until 1964 only mountaineering expeditions were permitted to visit the area. In 1971, scarcely one thousand visitors came to visit.
