Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season from November to April. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing, swimwear, sunscreen, and insect repellent. Respect local customs by dressing modestly when visiting religious or rural sites. Stay hydrated and use bottled water. Exercise usual safety precautions, especially at night and in less crowded areas. Carry some local currency for small purchases, though US dollars are widely accepted.
