Top 5 Essential Tips for Cultural Travelling

Ensure that the community you’re visiting is happy to have tourists in their home – if not on tour, check with a local.

Visit with an open mind, and remember that this is a mutual learning experience

Ask for permission before snapping photos of people or sacred sites.

Research on taboos of that particular culture before you go, and be respectful.

If you’re arranging your own tour, pay the driver separately and give your money directly to the village chief.
