Safety Tips

Physical Fitness : Although the trek is considered easy to moderate, good physical fitness is essential. Prepare with regular cardio exercises, and leg strength training.

Acclimatization : Since the trek reaches a significant altitude, it’s important to acclimatize properly, especially if you’re coming from lower altitudes. Stay hydrated and avoid rushing.

Altitude Awareness : Be aware of symptoms of altitude sickness, such as headaches, dizziness, or nausea. Descend if symptoms persist and consult a guide.

Weather Preparedness : The weather in the mountains can be unpredictable. Be prepared for sudden changes, including rain or snow, and carry appropriate gear.

Stay on the Marked Trail : Always stick to the marked trail to avoid getting lost. The terrain can be tricky, especially in dense forests or in snow-covered areas.

Start Early : Begin your trek early in the day to ensure you reach your destination before dark. Early starts also allow for clear views from the Chandrashila summit.

Respect the Environment : Practice “Leave No Trace” principles. Do not litter, respect local wildlife, and avoid disturbing the natural environment.

Interaction with Locals : Be respectful towards the local culture and traditions, especially when visiting sacred sites like Tungnath Temple.
