Travel Tips

The best times to visit are spring and autumn for pleasant weather and clear skies. Pack warm clothing, sturdy hiking boots, and sun protection. Altitude sickness is a risk; acclimatize gradually and stay hydrated. Respect local customs and dress modestly, especially when visiting monasteries. Cash in Nepalese rupees is preferred as card facilities are limited. Carry a basic medical kit and travel insurance.
