Health
Be current on routine shots; hepatitis A and typhoid are advised for most visitors, hepatitis B for unvaccinated travellers, and Japanese encephalitis or rabies shots for longer, rural or higher-risk trips. Yellow fever proof is only required when arriving from a risk country.
Altitude sickness is a real risk on treks and in popular mountain areas; ascend slowly to acclimatise.
