Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season (June to September). Pack layers as temperatures can vary with altitude. Respect local customs and dress modestly when visiting religious sites. Carry some cash as smaller vendors may not accept cards. Stay hydrated and use sunscreen. Safety is generally good, but standard precautions should be taken, especially when hiking or traveling at night.
