Q3. Is trekking difficult ?

Q7. How safe is trekking ?

 

A7. Easy trails frequented by many trekkers are quite safe as help in any eventuality is likely to be available. Less frequented trails are full of more adventures and so more risky.

The other may be due to bad weather, which again prevents movement and thus leads to shortages of ration. A well organized trek/ camp is quite safe as care is taken to meet all the problems one may encounter.

 

 

Q8. What about the harm from wild animals ?

 

A8 Consider yourself lucky if you see one during your trekking/ camping. Dawn and dusk are the times when one may encounter a wild animal on the trail and generally during these times the trekkers are in and around their camps.

 

 

Q9. How much one has to walk in a day ?

Q10. What is the right food for a trek ?

 

A10. The activity of trekking involves a lot of hard work. In the high mountains the level of oxygen also goes down and with this digestion of food becomes difficult. The body is constantly losing fluids due to dry environment. Thus one must have lots of water to which sugar and little amount of salt has been added. The solid food should be such that cam be digested easily and may be high carbohydrate diet.

Q12. Should I carry any medicines ?

 

A12. An individual must carry medicines which have been prescribed to him by doctor. This is an individual requirement. However for the complete team a first aid box is a must. Depending upon the region no medical help may be available and one must be ready for any medical emergency. Suggested list of medicines.

 

 

Q13. What precautions one should take before a trekking/camping trip ?

 

A13. Chances of a fit trekker suffering from sickness are quite low. People should avoid competition in high mountains and should not push themselves beyond their limits. Before a trip physical conditioning, medical check-up may be of immense help.
