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.

Tokyo Insider Tip

Carry cash โ€” many small shops are cash-only. Bow slightly when greeting.

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‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต Tokyo Fun Fact

Tokyo has more Michelin-starred restaurants than any other city on Earth.
