Safety Tips

Acclimatization :
Spend a couple of days in Leh to acclimatize to the high altitude before starting the trek to avoid Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS).
Layering : Wear multiple layers of clothing to adjust to varying temperatures. Avoid cotton as it retains moisture and can cause hypothermia.
Hydration : Stay hydrated, even if you don’t feel thirsty. The cold can dehydrate you without noticeable symptoms.
Follow the Guide’s Instructions : The terrain and conditions can be unpredictable. Listen carefully to your guide and follow their instructions for your safety.
Use Proper Footwear : Gumboots are necessary to prevent slipping on the ice. Ensure they are of good quality and fit well.
Keep Electronics Warm : Cold temperatures can drain batteries quickly. Keep cameras and phones close to your body to preserve battery life.
Emergency Situations :Be prepared for emergencies. The trek is remote, and evacuation can be challenging. Carry a satellite phone or ensure your group has one.
Environmental Considerations : Practice “Leave No Trace” principles. Do not litter, and be mindful of the delicate environment.
