Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry seasons to avoid muddy roads. Pack layered clothing for the cool highland climate and sturdy shoes for hiking. Respect local customs by dressing modestly and greeting people politely. Stay hydrated and use insect repellent to avoid mosquito bites. Carry some cash as small vendors may not accept cards. Always keep your valuables secure and be cautious when traveling at night.
