🧭 Travel Tips & Considerations

   Remote and rural roads may be unpaved or affected by landslides. We recommend SUVs or 4WDs for destinations like Rara, Karnali, or Dolpo.
2. Driving in Nepal:
   Roads can be narrow and chaotic. We highly recommend hiring a local driver if you're not familiar with local traffic conditions.
3. Fuel Stations:
   Available in cities and along major highways—but limited in remote areas. Plan fuel stops in advance.

   Monsoon (June–Sept) and winter months can affect road safety. Use weather-appropriate vehicles.
