Before a Trek .

• Everyone can go trekking but it's a good idea to plan your trek according to your level of fitness and experience. Check your physical condition whether or not your health will enable you to go on a certain trek.
  For people with health problems, for elder people, infants or pregnant women it is not recommended to tackle tours like these.
• If not experienced it is advisable not to do the demanding treks (Grade 2 and 3) alone or without a guide or experienced friend. You could get lost or get hurt!
• Only necessary items like drinking water, energy food, cloth, 1 st aid-kit/medicine/ torch and camera, are needed to bring along, don’t bring any Ghetto-blasters or alike, there is plentiful of sounds out there and even listening to the silence will be an awarding experience on its own.

• Cloth for trekking should be compact and endurable. It should be able to protect you from any poisoning plants or animals and in the rare case of a rain shower from the rain.
• Sturdy Shoes are important to protect your feet from sharp stones and to support your joints, which makes you less tired. > See also the article " Blisters".
• Leave your itinerary (however detailed it may or may not be) with someone at home. Let them know when you will be back and what to do if you don’t show.
