Tips
before you go for a Trekking
* Do
not forget your walking shoes and your bag. Put
bottle of water , raincoat, spare socks and clothes to your bag. When
you are in the nature a rain or walking
in a creek can make you more wet than you expected so be ready for surprises .
* Do not confuse the trekking trip with a picnic. You will walk for a long time. This walk is a
pre-arranged and planned walk. Guides would prefer the
best ways where you can see the unique nature and beauties of the areas not the
shortest way to reach the destination.
*
You may want to take a camera with you and take pictures of your friends and
beauties of nature however be considered
about raing and creeks you will pass. You can try to buy a waterproof camera .
*
Stay in touch with the group. Follow the instructions of professional Trekking guides.
Do
not diverge from the way where you can not easily seen and found by others.
.
If you leave your group for short-term (water drinking , flower collectiong
etc. ) inform someone from the group.
* Be very careful when walking in the stream or on rocks. Stones covered with moss therefore rocks and stones become so
slippery. Walk slowly and confidently. In such cases , quality of walking shoes are very important.
*
Do not use the shoes with straight base . Try to wear shoes with a zigzag base
. They will help you to stand on ground firmly.
*
Wear something comfortable. Walk for a
long time and long distance will be disturbing if you do not have comfortable
clothes. Consider the weather conditions; In winter, bring
sweaters, and definetely hats in summers
* Do not take unnecessary materials and equipments with you. Avoid
overload. If you overload you will be tired more than usual because of the long
walking distances. Leave the equipment in the car which you believe you are not
going to need during the trekking trail.
* Return time might be delayed. Be flexible and more tolerant about the time
and do not forget every each group can differ in view of walking speed and
times.
