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.

New York Insider Tip

Tip 18โ€“20% at restaurants. Walk fast on sidewalks โ€” stay right, pass left.
