Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season (May–September). Pack warm clothing for cool nights and sun protection for high-altitude days. Acclimatize to the altitude before strenuous activities. Carry cash, as credit cards are not widely accepted outside hotels and larger restaurants. Respect local customs and dress modestly in rural areas. Always stay hydrated and be mindful of altitude sickness.
