When you are going on a trekking expedition, it is essential to keep the do's and don’ts in mind. These tips will help the trekkers stay connected with their fellow travelers and prevent them in case of an emergency situation. Here are some of the important tips that trekkers should consider on the Chadar frozen river trek:
- Inform your friends and family about the trek and give the number of your trekking organization to them so they can contact you in case of any emergency.
- Wear warm clothes at all times and carry stuff that can keep you warm at all times as the temperature may drop drastically and unexpectedly during your trek.
- Do not forget to carry your first aid kit and all the necessary medications as bruises and cuts are relatively common during treks and hikes.
- Keep yourself hydrated at all times. People are more likely to skip drinking water due to the cold climate.
- Walk actively and carefully as the sheet of ice may be slippery.
- Do not litter everywhere as it is strictly prohibited to throw plastic and biodegradable stuff on the trekking trails.
- Avoid contaminating the waterfalls while bathing with chemical soaps because villagers use this water for drinking purposes.
- Remain polite towards your trek leader and co-trekker at all times.
- Do not skip your meal under any circumstances.
- Always be together with your trekking group, and do not wander anywhere on your own.
- Ensure that you carry all the trekking essentials in your backpack.
- Follow the instructions given by the trekking leader to ensure safety and security at all times.
