Safety Guidelines
Your safety is our highest priority. Please read these guidelines carefully before your trek.
Fitness Preparation
- Start a cardio routine 6–8 weeks before your trek (running, cycling, stair climbing)
- Build up to 45+ minutes of sustained cardio without stopping
- Practice walking with a loaded backpack (8–10 kg) on weekends
- Strengthen your knees with squats and lunges 3x per week
Altitude & Acclimatization
- Never ascend more than 300–400m per day above 3,000m
- Drink 3–4 litres of water per day on trek
- Avoid alcohol and sleeping pills at altitude
- Report any headache, nausea or dizziness to your guide immediately
- Remember: the golden rule is 'climb high, sleep low'
Safety on Trail
- Always stay within sight of your group and guide
- Never hike after dark without a guide's permission and proper lighting
- Carry a personal first aid kit and any prescription medications
- Know the emergency descent route — your guide will brief you each day
- Wear sun protection (SPF 50+ sunscreen, sunglasses, hat) above 3,000m
Leave No Trace
- Pack out everything you pack in — including food wrappers
- Use designated toilet areas only; bury waste at least 60m from water sources
- Do not pick wildflowers or disturb wildlife
- Camp only in designated campsites
- Keep noise levels low, especially near wildlife habitats
