Nepal Himalayas Insider Tip

Acclimatise properly ā€” 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.

Rio de Janeiro Insider Tip

Cariocas (Rio residents) are warm and physical ā€” hugs and cheek-kisses are normal greetings.

šŸ‡³šŸ‡µ Nepal Himalayas Fun Fact

The Himalayas are the youngest mountain range on Earth ā€” 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.

šŸ‡§šŸ‡· Rio de Janeiro Fun Fact

Rio's Christ the Redeemer statue is struck by lightning an average of 6 times per year.
