FAQ
Q: What does the price include?
A: The price includes:
Transportation
Vegetarian Food (Breakfast,
Lunch, Dinner)
Guide charges
Equipment – Sleeping bags and
mats
Permits
Q: Who can do this trek?
A: This is a moderate trek. Ideally, one
needs to have done a few treks prior to
attempting this trek. Be prepared for
lots of physical exertion! Make sure you
drink lots of water to avoid
dehydration.
Q: What should I carry?
A: The following items are a must:
2 liter water bottle (with water)
A sun hat and sun shades
Good trekking shoes – Not your
regular Nike, Puma, Adidas,
Reebok. You don’t want to be
trekking with blisters on your
feet. Ouch! Ask us, we can help
you pick a good pair.
A toilet kit
1 Torch with spare batteries
Loads of enthusiasm
Q: What NOT to do?
A: Our treks are of course fun, but we
have fun responsibly. We are sensitive
to the environment – no littering. We
also enjoy the silence and therefore we
do not shout and scare away the birds
and animals. Remember, this is not
tourism – we are passionate trekkers
and we want to keep coming back.
Q: What food do you provide?
A: Simple vegetarian food. Nothing
extravagant, nor will you sleep with
empty stomachs. You will be hungry
and anything served will taste gourmet.
Q: How can I prepare myself?
A: Take daily jogs or walks. Hit the
gym or even better do some smaller
Western ghats treks with us.
Q: How cold does it get?
A: It depends on where you come from,
but from an Indian context – it can get
quite cold. The temperature in the
higher regions can touch -2 degrees at
night. So be prepared and carry warm
clothing. Although multiple layers will
serve the purpose, it can get quite
heavy and uncomfortable. Your best
bet would be to buy a professional high
altitude jacket.
