    A DETAILED INFORMATION ON MOUNTAINS HAZARD

    All these things need to go into one backpack. So make sure they are all light and you carry as less as possible.

    Trekking such long distances in high altitudes requires a lot of energy. Our cooks on the trek provide you with as nutritious food as possible. But it should be remembered that a lot of ingredients need to be carried on such high altitudes and it is only human to forget something. We request our members to keep an open mind and enjoy the best of what we can provide.

    Let’s look at few food habits you need to follow while trekking:-

    • Breakfast is the first meal of the day before the beginning of the trek. Complex carbs break down and release energy slowly. This keeps providing you with a constant source of energy throughout the day.

    • Drink at least 4-5 liters of water daily. (mix ORS in water which will maintain the water level)

    • Granola Bars for post-lunch fatigue. (Optional) Trail mixes and granola bars of nuts and whole grains can be used to tackle post lunch fatigue which usually happens 2-3 hours after lunch. They are a good source of carbohydrates and vitamins.

    • Electrolytes for rehydration.

    • Towards the end of the trek, the body becomes dehydrated and depleted of salts and ions through sweating. Electrolytes like ORS should be consumed mixed with water to recharge the body.

    • Carry multivitamin tablets for complications arising due to vitamin deficiency.(optional)

    • Consume hot liquids at night to keep your body warm. (We provide soup at bed time at times)

    • Strictly Avoid alcohol, it’s prohibited during trek .If we found any banned drugs, you will send back instantly and we have rights to file a complaint for the same.

    • It is a common myth that alcohol keeps you warm in cold climate, Please avoid it .It makes you susceptible to hypothermia, makes your breathing shallow and accelerates altitude

    • Avoid non-vegetarian food. Non-vegetarian food should be avoided as proteins take a lot of time to digest in high altitudes and cause various gastrointestinal complications. Eggs can be consumed in small quantities. (we do provide boiled eggs at times)

    • Drinking water is not readily available in hills and hence the trekkers are advised to use water wisely and fill their water bottle every time when crossing or walking nearby the river or water springs.

    For any trek cancellation, we should be informed at least 15 days prior to the trek starting date. No cancellation charges if cancel before 15 days of trek start date (100% refund except 15% SERVICE charges)

    2. In case the cancellation is not made before 15 days then you can keep your money safe by informing us in between 8-15 days from trek staring date and can go for same or another trek on some other date as well. (No refund if cancelation made in between 7 days of trek staring date )

    3. We have rights to cancel the trek without any prior notice ,in that case no expenses will be given to client like transportation ,Any hotel stay and any further expense which relate to this trekking trip with Himalayan Frontiers.
