Official Travel Advice

From the Australian DFAT Smartraveller

Do not travel

Challenges

Police and military are very present, and can be intimidating, they will lie, cheat and steal far more than any criminal

Do

Approach locals, say yes to offers and be open to new experiences

Have a flexible schedule, things can change quickly and you need to be able to adapt

Use Whatsapp and Airbnb to book most hotels and experiences

Don't

Forget to bring plenty of crisp USD, its near impossible to withdraw cash or use cards, and the local currency is worthless
