@fraanzstagram's Top Tips
"Sri Lanka is huge and expect that your journey within inter-cities will take almost half to a full day. Trains are available but are very slow and will take more of your time."

As a traveller, I thrive on exploration and discovery. My adventures take me to diverse landscapes allowing me to immerse myself in different cultures and experiences.
What do you love most about Nepal?
"The hikes! There is an endless number of the most magnificent hikes in Nepal, owing to its connection to the Himalayas. A hiker's paradise!"
@dyl.shaw's Top Tips
"Be patient and listen to your body when hiking at altitudes. People will feel the effects of attitude differently. So it's important to take your time when you feel lethargic. Enjoy the views instead!"
Benefits of a tour guide for Nepal
"Most guides for hiking tours are local Sherpas, who will have expert knowledge and insights into the history of the region. The price you pay also goes back to them, supporting local communities."
