Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry winter months (May to September). Pack lightweight clothing for daytime and warmer layers for cooler evenings. Respect local customs by dressing modestly and greeting people politely. Stay hydrated and use insect repellent to avoid bites. Carry some local currency for small purchases, but credit cards are accepted in many places. Always keep an eye on personal belongings and avoid walking alone at night.
