It is sad that more people do not visit the area as travelling in the region is very safe and the people overwhelmingly friendly. As suggested elsewhere on this website, the various ethnic groups and the environment are changing rapidly, but it is still possible to experience something of the region's rich cultural and ecological variety.

Part of the reason people stay away from the area is that there are few facilities specifically designed for tourists. Travellers need to be prepared to travel on crowded busses and to stay in simple hotels. Nevertheless, for those prepared to make the effort, the result will be a memorable experience.
