Before you go
What the guide flags for first-timers.
- Rewarding but heavy on arrangements: book a hotel car, a guide and an operator before you fly. (Good for · verdict: caution)
- Guides or drivers who quote a low price and then add charges: agree the total and what it covers in writing before you set off. (Scams)
- Fake or worn notes offered as change or by street money-changers: change money only through your host or a trusted dealer, and check every note. (Scams)
- Requests for payments at unofficial checkpoints or for informal permits: your operator arranges permits and escorts; do not pay strangers. (Scams)
