Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season from May to September. Pack warm clothing for cool mountain nights and comfortable shoes for hiking. Respect local customs and dress modestly when visiting religious sites. Carry cash as card payments may not be widely accepted. Stay hydrated and be prepared for altitude changes. Safety is generally good, but keep valuables secure.
