It is necessary for the trekkers to keep all the dos and don’ts in mind when going on a trekking expedition. These important tips will not only help fellow trekkers to stay connected but also prevent them in case of any emergency situation. Following are some of the essential tips that you should keep in consideration during the Indrahar Pass trek:
Wear comfortable shoes for trekking and avoid sports shoes as they can cause shoe bites and blisters on the trekking slope.
It is mandatory to carry a 4-step telescopic antishock trekking pole or inform the authorities if you forget to carry one.
Carry synthetic quick dry pants as they are lightweight and you can layer on other clothing when it gets too cold.
Keep a waterproof rain cover in your backpack in case of a rainy day.
Carry some snacks and tents with you on your trekking expedition as you will not get any place to eat and stay after the Snowline.
Bring your power banks and other battery backups for convenient traveling.
Do not go on the Indrahar Pass trek if you are a beginner as the weather may become a little risky and challenging on the terrains.
Avoid filling your backpack with unnecessary things and carry only the essentials.
Have proper gear and equipment for sub-zero temperatures.
