Things to remember before you start trekking are,

  • Get your backpack ready. Carry whatever you might need. Remember to exclude the unnecessary ones to have a light backpack. Go for the best tent or the best 4 person tent if travelling in groups for a long distance.
  • Carry a map with you if you are about to trek in some unknown areas. Always go with the actual route and avoid trying shortcuts unless and until you are aware of that place.Pack your medications along with you. Sometimes you might be in need of them. So it is healthy to carry them. Especially if you have asthma, heart-related issues then it are mandatory to carry them. You must carry bandages and other requirements.
  • While hiking have a frequent intake of water. Pause then and there to take a small 5-minute break.
  • Discard your thought of trekking with an empty stomach. It is not a reliable act.
  • You are hiking just to enjoy. So don’t choose the path that does not suit you.
  • Have a good trekking company. Carry someone who knows the route better.
  • Have an idea about the weather beforehand. Update yourself about the upcoming storms or cyclones if any.
