3 Tips for Safe Trekking in the Mountains
Yes! It is really important that you embark on your trekking journey during daytime. Avoid treks at night as it can cause fatal injuries due to reduced visibility and may also cause navigational issues if you are not properly equipped.
Always pack your backpack carefully and never forget to include safety tools and gears to ensure safety in the high altitude. Every year, many lives are lost due to insufficient safety tools and equipment. Also it is recommended to carry an oxygen cylinder if you plan to climb beyond 10000 feet.
Fire is a vital element in the mountains and can often act as a life saver in extremely cold weather conditions. Apart from dealing with extreme weather, fire is also needed for cooking. So you should always have plenty of options for lighting up a fire.
