Health & vaccines
- No vaccine is required to enter: just make sure your routine vaccines are up to date. See a travel clinic 4 to 6 weeks before you leave: some vaccines are often recommended.
- Don't drink tap water: drink bottled or filtered water, and avoid ice of unknown origin.
- Altitude sickness is serious on treks: go up slowly, drink water, and go down if you feel ill.
- Rabies exists: avoid stray dogs, cats and monkeys. If bitten or scratched, see a doctor the same day.
- Travel insurance that covers trekking and helicopter rescue is essential.
These rules change and depend on your situation: always check with the official sources and your embassy before you leave. GoZzzy gives general information and cannot be held responsible.
