Travel Safe:
Get to know the basics
A basic knowledge of Safety and
Medical Advices for Trekking & Hiking in Nepal while
trekking should be high on a trekker's priority list especially if you plan on
going to remote wilderness areas.
It's never about being
reckless
The taking of calculated risks goes with the
territory when you enter a remote wilderness area. You are, after all in the
jungle' so to speak. Not only is there a greater chance of injury due to the
often rugged and unpredictable terrain, but there will be nowhere nearby to get
help in a hurry if you need it. For this reason any risks that are taken should
only be taken when absolutely necessary. This is particularly important for solo
trekkers. Being in the outdoors is often about taking calculated risks. It is
NEVER about being reckless.
Minimizing the chance of an
accident.
There are lots of ways to
minimize the risk of having an accident. Probably too
many to mention but just about all accidents can be minimized by applying
commonsense to all that you do outdoors.
•
When trekking, always watch where you are
placing your feet. This will minimize the chance of stepping on a loose rock and
spraining an ankle or stepping on a snake that's too lazy to get out of your way
- It happens!
•
Avoid walking close to cliff edges if there is
another way around.
•
Use commonsense when crossing rivers.
•
The use liquid fuel to quick-start your camp
fire can be extremely dangerous and therefore it is not recommended. Some of
this stuff is highly volatile. A serious accident can happen in the blink of an
eye. We suggest our
