Cool streams, lush green valleys, tranquil lakes, thundering waterfalls, breathtaking mountains, and long walks in nature can make you feel high without any intoxicants. You will collect new experiences every time and fall in love a little more.
Trekking is a perfect escape in the lap of nature from stressful daily life. You can embrace nature’s serenity and make good memories. Spending time with nature can be bliss for nature lovers, but we can’t sure to get good memories always. Especially, when you’re going for Manaslu circuit trekking or Langtang trekking tours, you need to be more careful and follow certain tips. Usually, being a beginner or expert we often underestimate situations and believe to be superheroes. We need to understand that trekking comes with do’s, don’ts, and unspoken rules which you must follow to ensure a memorable and exciting trekking trip. Check these out:
Don’t hike alone
It is good to have a map of the route that you can understand easily. Ensure the phone is fully charged, and you have relevant contact details of the hiking site. A map can help you conclude the location and estimated time to reach the next location. You must not go trekking alone under any circumstances. Trekking is an adventurous and fun activity that should be done with the group. Make sure you don’t move too fast or too slow that you are left behind from the group. The chances of getting injured and lost are higher when you’re alone. Keep calm if you’re lost because this can make your situation worse.
Check on the weather
Go beyond just checking the weather before trekking. Consult the park site or search about which type of weather condition is more likely to fall at this time of year. Even with a clear sky, big storms can come unexpectedly. Lightning and thunder are common dangers. If you are stuck in such a type of situation find shelter and stay there. Avoid open and high areas, bodies of water, metal, and trees. A little change in weather can make a big difference and make the trekking easier or riskier.
Stay Hydrated
We are aware that water is life, but we often forget to drink water while enjoying the pleasurable atmosphere. Most of the trekkers drink water when they are taking rest or thirsty, but by that time, the body is too dehydrated and becomes tired. Having a dehydrated body in the wild may lead to serious health issues. Hydrated body throughout the journey helps you feeling fresh even though you may sweat a lot, yet you can avoid most of the health issues while trekking in Nepal.
Eating unknown fruits or berries
You may be missing home food in the mountains, yet eating bright berries is not a good idea. Some of these berries can be distasteful and poisonous. Let the wildings enjoy the delicacies their mother of nature has offered. For avoiding this situation, you can pack plenty of snacks. If you cannot recognize the berries or fruits, avoid touching them too.
Physical Fitness
Hiking and trekking are distinct from daily chores. You may look healthy, fit, and well built, but you need to understand that facing different geological hindrances, terrain, climate, and adaptability can put in a lot of toll on the body. People consider trekking as a stroll in the park, but it is completely different. The body needs to adapt to unusual surroundings. It must change its metabolic activities and adjust to diverse altitudes. If you trekking in india at high altitudes you can feel how the body is affected as you go higher and higher. So, physical fitness is a must.
