1. Do not litter along the trail or campsite. Keep your plastics,  bottles and paper in your backpack

2. Staying together as one group is of utmost importance not to get  lost or delay the entire group. Always keep in eye contact with the  person in front of you. Obey the instructions of the organizers  (introduced during the start of the trek) who will try to keep  everyone move along together as one single group. Fast people in  the front will need to periodically regroup with those in the back.

3. Minimize the weight of your backpack - do not carry any unneeded  items. A heavy backpack will make it much more difficult to climb  uphill and over uneven terrain.

4. Proper usage of your water reserve. Carry the announced minimum  amount of water. Refill your bottles before leaving the stream. Do  not consume your reserve too quickly as trekking without water for  long duration is very difficult. Consume your water evenly over the  total trek duration.

5. Use proper clothing - light pants and t-shirts. Long pants will  protect against thorns, long sleves will prevent from scratches and  rashes. Avoid thight fit jeans as they prevent free movement and  are very heavy when wet. Avoid bright clothes.

6. Carry one set of slippers, extra dry socks to avoid blisters  when wetting your primary wear.

7. Avoid joining moderate/difficult treks without prior regular  physical activities. Yoga, gym, walking are not proper preparation  for these type of treks. Trekking requires utmost stamina and  mental strength. Too many times first-timers get into trouble and  delay the entire group.

8. Bring an LED torch (with extra batteries) along as frequently we  need to do some trekking after sunset.

9. Do not wear new shoes on a trek. Ensure to have worn your  shoe wear for some time to avoid painful feet. Avoid worn down shoes  - many times people loose their soles and walking becomes  impossible.

10. We like active volunteers rather then passive participants.  Take initiative to help out on the many tasks during a trek and  camping.

11. Do not carry valuable items during trek (phones, jewelery) as frequently these items get lost or spoil during the trek. Frequently we jump and swim in water pools where electronic items get spoiled.
