Altitude can be a challenge; move slowly and stay well-hydrated. Bring cash, as card acceptance is limited. Local buses are infrequent, consider hiring a driver or joining a group tour for regional travel.

Dress modestly, especially at temples; always walk clockwise around religious sites. Tipping is not customary but appreciated in tourist services. Ask before photographing monks or locals.
Safety Warnings
Petty theft is rare but still guard valuables in crowded areas. Be cautious at high altitudes, seek medical help if you feel unwell. Some areas may require special permits for foreigners.
Hidden Gems
Seek out remote hot springs just outside the town, visit lesser-known yak herder camps, or explore local handicraft workshops off the main tourist track.
