Dos And Donts While Trekking

• Aron Lee Ralston, first person to climb
  Colorados Fourteeners (59 peaks over 14,000
  feet) solo, had a near death experience when his
  right arm got stuck against a boulder in Blue
  John Canyon. Unaware of his hiking expedition,
  all his loved ones had no clue where he has gone.
  After surviving 5 days and 7 hours, he finally
  had to cut his right arm in order to come out of
  the Canyon.
•  
• Ring any bells? Yes, you are right. The Oscar
  winning movie 127 Hours is based on this brave
  soul who did not give up and tried everything in
  order to survive. But there are certain lessons
  we need to learn from him.

• His foremost mistake was no cell phone with him
  leave alone emergency contacts. His second
  mistake was no one knew where he was. My beloved
  travellers out there, this accident did not stop
  him from exploring the world so dont think for a
  second I am trying to demotivate you ) But
  safety comes first because there are so many
  mountains to climb so one mountain no matter how
  great it is, is not worth dying for. So a quick
  Dos and Donts for you while going on a Trek
  solo )

•  
• Study Your Location
•  
• Every location is unique and so are the rules
  while trekking on it. Study the location you are
  planning to go. Carry a map with you all the time
  so that you know exactly where you are so that
  you can find your way back. Study the habitations
  in that area and how far it would from your place
  of camping.

• Please Inform
• Leaving a simple note on your fridge. Does that
  sound too taxing? I dont think so. If something
  unfortunate happens, your loved ones will find
  you. Ahhh! such a relaxing thought. Unless you
  are going on a suicide mission, I dont see any
  harm in doing this.
• Plenty Of Essentials
• Carry at least 3 litres of water and plenty of
  nutrition bars. They are light and filling till
  the time you find any other source. Carry plenty
  of water and also Water Purification Tablets as
  Water is what would keep you going especially in
  a longer trek.

• Dont Hike Alone
• Trekking alone is amazing but trekking with a
  partner is even better. Its safe and fun.
  Yayyyy. Try to go with the group especially on
  trail you have never explored.
•  
• Dont Ignore The Weather
• You cant afford to do that. In my recent blog on
  Camping tips I mentioned an incident of Himachal
  Pradesh where two trekkers died when the tree
  fell on them due to storm and rain. Read the
  weather forecasts of the place on your stay
  dates. This would help you prepare in advance for
  any change of weather.

  a bird also comes back to its nest someday lt3
