FAQ
Q: Who can do this trek?
A: If you can walk 2km without a
problem, then you can! If you have specific health issues like asthma, heart issues or the likes, consult your doctor.
Q: How cold does it get?
A: It can get pretty chilly at night.
Make sure you have a warm jacket and a bed-sheet.
Q: What should we carry?
A: The following items are a must-
carry:
Shoes: A good pair of shoes is a must - a good pair does not mean your Adidas/ Nike/ Reebok/ Puma sport shoe. You need a pair that can withstand the wear and tear of walking for many days. A bad shoe can ruin your trek by causing blisters. Ask us, we can help you in choosing the right one for your budget.
The other things you need to carry are : a backpack, a sun hat/cap, your personal clothes, a raincoat/poncho, toiletry kit, a good pair of sun glasses, a water bottle and your personal medicines (if necessary).
Your sleeping mat will be provided to you by us.
Q: What food do you provide?

that is light and suitable for trekking. Don’t expect a pizza hut or an Anand Bhavan - nor will you have to go hunting. You will have enough and when you are tired – anything served will taste superb!
Q: Is the mountain water safe to
drink?
A: Yes. It’s as pure as it can be. But if
you are finicky – you can buy mineral water for yourself.

leader always carries a complete first aid kit. You need not carry one.
