Travel Tips

The best time to visit is late spring to early autumn. Pack warm clothing for cool mountain weather and sturdy shoes for trekking. Respect local customs and dress modestly. Carry cash as ATMs are scarce. Stay hydrated and acclimatize gradually to high altitudes. Hiring a local guide is recommended for trekking and exploring remote areas. Always check weather and road conditions before travel.
