Nepal Himalayas Insider Tip

Acclimatise properly — 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.

Amsterdam Insider Tip

Cycling is the dominant mode of transport — stay out of bike lanes. Almost everyone speaks English.
