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.
Locals dine late — restaurants fill up after 9pm. Pickpockets are common on Las Ramblas.
🇳🇵 Nepal Himalayas Fun Fact
The Himalayas are the youngest mountain range on Earth — 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.
🇪🇸 Barcelona Fun Fact
Gaudí's Sagrada Família has been under construction since 1882 and is still not finished.
