That said, I have been so content in the sub-tropical climate. There are few big insects, and I have not yet seen a rodent yet. Most locals seem to keep their places clean, the food waste is minimal and rubbish doesn't smell like it does in the high heat of the tropical countries. Not nice to see the river beds in Kathmandu or a hillside in the country in Nepal used as open dumping troughs, but great to see all guesthouses and cafes with filtered water for refills. Tourists are encouraged to buy iodine tablets and use a personal water bottle which they can refill anywhere for a tiny fee. All hot holiday destinations should be enforcing similar restrictions on plastic water bottles since few of these countries have recycling systems.
