Nepal Himalayas Insider Tip

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.

Mumbai Insider Tip

Bargain at markets. The local train is the city's lifeblood โ€” rush hour is not for the faint-hearted.

๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ต 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.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ Mumbai Fun Fact

Mumbai's Dharavi is one of the most productive slums in the world, generating over $1 billion annually.
