Tips for great Trekking Adventures

    Trekking is a fantastic way to experience nature either on your own or with friends & family. But it also requires more planning & preparation as compared to heading off to the nearest beach resort. Below are tips to inspire you to make that trek you’ve been planning and basics of preparing for the great adventure.





    If we’ve left anything out, expert trekkers in the community, please pitch in with your tips.

    Maps & directions: Make sure you have mapped out the trail you’ll be taking well in advance. It helps if you have a map handy during the trek. A compass may also be useful if your trek is going to take you into a place you don’t know at all and help is not easily at hand.

    Food & water: Carry enough food and water for everyone. A little extra never hurts, but every item you put in that backpack adds to the weight you’re carrying so be judicious. Distribute the weight so one person gets exhausted and slows down the entire group.

    Trekking Gear: Wear sturdy shoes and light clothing. Use a backpack not carry bags or hand bags. If you’re going during the monsoons make sure you have appropriate protective gear. Lastly, a first aid kit and a flashlight are essentials in your trekking kit.

    Safety: Put your and your group’s safety first at all times. Remember, have fun on your adventure but in moderation.
