Some tips on the trek

  • Do not throw away any plastic bags/wrappers and litter. Whatever litter you have should be retained by you, and brought back for disposal.

  • Don’t carry too much snacks. Carry only for you and not for distribution to everyone

  • No smoking or drinking before/during/ or till we reach back trichy.

  • Avoid non-veg foods

  • Its not a running race, so everybody goes in a group and paced to accommodate the slower guys.

  • No exploration or trying out new routes. Follow the Group leader or guide

  • Avoid talking and making noises. Let everybody enjoy nature in peace, and listen to the sounds of nature.

  • Avoid using cell phones, we can live without it for 1 day.

  • Trekking just like any Sport is not without its hazards. Every person comes at his own will and risk. Follow safety instructions of the Group leader. Carelessness, stupidity and bravado can endanger you and others.
