Dos & Don’ts
1. A trekking pole is a must, never move in mountains without a trekking pole.
2. Wear light and quick dry clothes; avoid jeans and other body-hugging clothes.
3. If you don’t have much idea of the place never roam around without a guide, mountains are unpredictable.
4. Carry sufficient water with you before commencing the trek and keep yourself hydrated.
5. Never move without a raincoat in the mountains.
6. A good trekking shoe is a must, make sure you have the best.
7. Walk across and flat-footed while descending; always dig in your heel first while ascending. (useful in rains and snow)
8. Never take any medicine without consulting the trek guides.
