Trekker's Quick Tips
Always acclimatise properly above 3,000m — rushing altitude gains causes AMS.
Pack layers, not just a heavy jacket. Temperature swings of 20°C are normal on Himalayan trails.
Drink 3–4 litres of water daily at altitude, even if you don't feel thirsty.
Download offline maps before you trek — mobile data is non-existent on most trails.
Break in new trekking boots at least 3 weeks before your trip. Blisters ruin expeditions.
Register with the local forest department before every trek — it's the law and saves lives.
