SOME HANDY HINTS FOR TREKKIING IN THE HIMALAYAN REGION
ACCESSIBILITY
THE FOOTHILLS OF THE NORTHERN
HIMALAYAS, FROM DELHI ARE NOT MORE THAN FIVE TO SIX HOURS BY ROAD OR BY
RAIL. FROM DELHI ONE CAN REACH TO RISHIKESH, JAMMU, PATHANKOT, CHANDIGARH
AND KALKA, WHICH ARE ROADHEADS TO GARHWAL HILLS, KASHMIR VALLEY, KISHTWAR,
LADAKH CHAMBA AND MANALI. SHIMLA IS THE STEEPING STONE FOR KINNUR, SPITI,
NAHAN AND RENUKA. FOR TREKKING ROUTES IN THE GARHWAL REGION DEHRADUN AND
RISHIKESH ARE THE IDEAL GATEWAYS. LEH IS THE STARTING POINT FOR LADAKH.
BEST SEASON
FOR THE NORTH-EASTERN REGION
OF THE HIMALAYAS BEST SEASON IS FROM LATE SEPTEMBER TO APRIL / MAY. GARHWAL,
KUMAON AND HIMACHAL PRADESH IS OPEN FOR TREKKING ALL ROUND THE YEAR.
TREKKING EQUIPMENT
EQUIPMENTS CAN BE MADE AVAILABLE
FROM INDIAN MOUNTAINEERING FOUNDATION, BENITO JUAREZ ROAD, NEW DELHI -
110021 AND ASLO FROM THE STATES SPORTS ACADEMY.
ACCOMODATION
AS THERE IS NO FIXED NETWORK
OF HOTELS IN THE TREKKING ROUTES, THE BEDS AND OTHER IMPORTANT FACILITIES
ARE PROVIDED AT THE BASE CAMPS. ALL THE ABOVE ITINERARIES ARE BASED ON
BASE CAMPS, HOTELS, REST HOUSES OR ANY OTHER AVAILED ACCOMODATION.
CARE FOR ECOLOGY
THE CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN
TO PRESERVE THE FRAGILE ECOLOGICAL BALANCE. ONE SHOULD CARRY WASTE DISPOSAL
BAGS TO PREVENT LITTERING AND USE LIQUIFIED PETROLEUM GAS OR KEROSENE
FOR COOKING, THE BEST IS TO USE THE LOCAL WOOD. AS INDIA'S CUSTOM AND
TRADITION VARY FROM PLACE TO PLACE, THE RESPECT FOR LOCAL CUSTOMS AND
TRADITION ALONG THE TREKKING IS ESSENTIAL AND HELPFUL.
ESSENTIAL NEEDS
BASIC PERSONNAL ITEMS TO
BE CARRIED INCLUDE A WATERPROOF RUCKSACK, SLEEPING BAG, FOAMED MATTRESS,
WALKING BOOTS, RAIN PROOF JACKET, TORCH, SPARE BATTERIES, WATER FLASK,
MATCH BOX, TINED FOOD AND MEDICINES. FOR HIGHER ALTITUDES THE ADDITIONAL
REQUIREMENTS ARE TENTS, FEATHER JACKET, HEAVY WOOLENS, KITCHEN EQUIPMENT
AND TINED FOODSTUFF, ON WELL FREQUENTED TREK ROUTES AT LOWER HEIGHTS FOOD
AND MINERAL WATER ARE GENERALLY AVAILABLE.
PRE-TREK PRECAUTIONS
PRE DISCUSSIONS ON THE ROUTE
OF TREKKING, MAPS AND COMPASS, AND ALL OTHER NECESSARY INFORMATION SHOULD
BE COLLECTED BEFORE TAKING A TREKK. IN TREKKING IN THE REMOTE AREAS -
INSURANCE, RESCUE AND EVACUATION MEASURES SHOULD BE DISCUSSED BEFORE HAND.
SOME AREAS ARE RESTRICTED AND THUS THE PERMISSION FROM THE RELATED AUTHORITIES
SHOULD BE MADE ATLEAST ONE MONTH IN ADVANCE.
PHYSICAL FITTNESS
THE MOST IMPORTANT AND ESSENTIAL
FEATURE IS TO SELECT A TREKKING AREA ACCORDING TO THE FITNESS POTENTIALS
OF THE INDIVIDUAL OR THE GROUP. HEALTH SHOULD BE OF REASONABLE LEVEL.
TREKKING ROUTES ARE GRADED ACCORDING TO ANTICIPATED LEVEL OF EXERTION
AND DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY.
