Everyone likes to travel and for this, they choose different places. In such a situation, many people plan to go trekking with their friends. In trekking one can cover long distances crossing valleys, mountains, waterfalls, rivers, and forests. The experience of trekking with friends through rugged hills is very memorable. But if you go trekking without planning, sometimes you may have to face trouble. In such a situation, you must take care of all those special things that can make the trekking journey easier. Today in this episode, we are going to tell you about the important planning to be done before going on trekking.
Keep your bag light
The first thing that is important for beginners going on trekking is light packing. Do not load your bag with unnecessary items. Pack only the essentials like clothes, food, medicines etc. One should never carry a full bag while climbing steeply, as this makes you fall backward instead of moving forward.
Water is your companion
Many types of situations can be faced while climbing and descending the mountains. Once you start climbing, completing it is a different matter. It is very important to keep the body balanced while climbing. So you should have about 4 to 5 stocks of water. Water protects the body from dehydration. Keep taking some amount of water every 20 minutes so that the water balance in the body is maintained. Be careful not to drink a lot of water at once.
Pay attention to clothes
You should also pay adequate attention to clothes while trekking. Try to wear light-colored clothes during this time, which can reflect the sun's rays. Additionally, you can also wear clothes that have zipper vents so that your body can feel the coolness. However, along with clothes, you should also use things like a hat and sunscreen.
Wear water-resistant trekking shoes
One of the most important things is to buy yourself water-resistant trekking shoes. Because many places can be slippery during the trek and if you do not want to slip during the trek and want to keep your feet from getting wet then buy waterproof shoes. Apart from this, good trekking shoes will help you maintain a good grip while climbing the mountains and will prevent your feet from getting wet when you cross waterfalls and river drains.
Carry a portable charger with you
You will not find charging sockets while trekking in the mountains. Therefore, it is always good to carry a portable charger with you. If you can't find a place where you can charge your phone, we recommend that you turn off your phone after notifying your family to save battery.
Don't forget to have breakfast
Starting the day with breakfast is very good for health. You must have heard and read such things many times. Breakfast will be helpful for you even while trekking because it is very important to maintain energy in the body. This will save you from feeling hungry during trekking. Do not consume too much tea or coffee for breakfast. Due to this, you may have a problem with dehydration.
Do research
It is very important to prepare yourself completely while trekking. For this, it is most important that you do thorough research not only about your destination but also about the route. You should also try to know at which places you can stop and rest for a while during trekking. Also, how big is your track rail and how long will it take you to complete? When you collect all the necessary information in advance, trekking in summer will become much easier.
Do not trek alone
Those who are new to trekking are advised not to trek alone, always stay with a group. Trekking to a new and isolated place can be dangerous. If you are going on a popular trek where there are a lot of people on the way, then, of course, you can go alone, but if it is not so popular trek and there will not be a lot of people on the way, then you can go with a guide. Track or take your friends with you.
