Pel wouldn't be prevented from leaving Skyhold but would be strongly cautioned against it, since the Exalted Plains are not presently the half-deserted, quiet ruin seen in the game, but the fully active primary front in the War of the Lions. Keeper Hawen's goal in sending her his clan's sketches of the runes would be to prevent the need for her to travel there in person; if she insists, the Dalish clan will allow her to stay with them but will not risk its members providing her with protection when she leaves the camp to explore.
She may be able to convince Hawen to remove one or two stone segments containing the runes that are safest to reach and send them to Skyhold with merchants, but they'll likely require some form of payment/trade for the effort, and the runes may be damaged in the process.
OOCly, we would recommend against it at this time because of the length of time it would require Pel to be away from other player characters. However, if you focus on other avenues of investigation for now--characters are always welcome to travel to the Hinterlands, for example, and she may be able to find veilfire runes and some ancient elven ruins there if she would like to take a team exploring--we'd be happy to see it run as a war table operation or player plot in the future. But our aim is to let Pel eventually get what she needs to translate the runes, uncover the location of one or more elven temples, and lead expeditions there (if you would like), with or without first visiting the Exalted Plains, since it may be some time before that area is fully available.
