Acclimatise properly โ gain no more than 500m of sleeping altitude per day above 3,000m. The rule 'climb high, sleep low' is not a suggestion. Tsum Valley requires a special restricted area permit on top of the standard Trekking Information Management System (TIMS) card and ACAP/Manaslu permit.
Cycling is the dominant mode of transport โ stay out of bike lanes. Almost everyone speaks English.
๐ณ๐ต Nepal Himalayas Fun Fact
The Himalayas are the youngest mountain range on Earth โ still growing roughly 5mm per year as the Indian tectonic plate pushes into the Eurasian plate. Tsum Valley remained sealed from outsiders until 2008 and its Tibetan Buddhist culture is virtually unchanged from centuries ago.
๐ณ๐ฑ Amsterdam Fun Fact
Amsterdam has more bicycles than residents and over 1,500 bridges crossing its famous canals.
