Do’s:

1. Arrive on Time: To make the most of our day trip, please arrive at the meeting point on time. Starting promptly helps us maximize your experience and ensures a smooth day ahead.

2. Bring Light Essentials Only: Since it’s a day trip, pack only the essentials. We suggest a small backpack with water, a light snack, sunscreen, and any personal medications you might need.

3. Dress for the Day: Wear comfortable clothing and sturdy shoes suited for a day trek. Layer up if needed, and bring a light rain jacket just in case of unexpected weather changes.

4. Stay Hydrated: We’ll take breaks, so be sure to sip on water throughout the trek to keep your energy up. Bringing a reusable water bottle is both practical and environmentally friendly.

5. Follow Your Guide’s Lead: Our trained guides are here to keep you safe and informed. Please follow their instructions, as they know the trail well and can help you avoid any potential hazards.

6. Keep the Trail Clean: Practice our ‘Leave No Trace’ policy by carrying any waste back with you. It helps keep the trail beautiful and enjoyable for everyone.

7. Be Aware of Time: We’re on a schedule to ensure we return before dark, so please help us keep up with the group pace for a smooth trek.

Don’ts:

1. Don’t Overpack: Since it’s a day trip, avoid overloading your backpack. A light pack with the basics will make your experience more comfortable and enjoyable.

2. Avoid Going Off the Path: Stick to the designated trail to ensure safety. Avoid venturing off the path, as it can lead to hazardous areas and slow down the group.

3. Don’t Disturb Wildlife: We’re lucky to be surrounded by nature. Please observe animals from a distance, as approaching them can be unsafe for both you and the wildlife.

4. Avoid Alcohol and Smoking Before/During the Trip: For your safety and comfort, we recommend staying sober and smoke-free for the day. This keeps you focused, energized, and ready for the adventure.

5. Don’t Ignore Any Physical Discomfort: If you feel unwell, let your guide know immediately. We can adjust the pace or take a break if needed.

6. Don’t Rely on Phones or GPS: Signal may be unreliable on the trail, so it’s best to stay with the group and rely on your guide for navigation.
