Trekking in Monsoon is exceptional. The valleys turn greener, rivers swell, and the air carries the refreshing scent of rain, creating a haven for nature enthusiasts and trekkers. Here are some safety tips you must follow while trekking in Monsoon.
Start Early To Avoid Afternoon Shower
Start your trek early in the morning to avoid getting caught in heavy afternoon downpours. It offers better visibility on the trail, making navigation safer.
Wear Quick Drying Clothes
Opt for clothes made from fabrics like polyester, nylon, and polypropylene as they wick moisture away from your skin, helping you stay comfortable and maintain your energy levels during the trek.
Choose Waterproof Footwear
Opt for high-quality waterproof trekking shoes to keep your feet dry, warm, and stable during monsoon treks.
Avoid Landslide Prone Areas
Avoid risky routes, research your path, and stay updated on trail conditions to stay safe from landslides during treks. Seek advice from local authorities, use online tools for tracking landslides, and monitor weather forecasts.
