As a travel company, Markhor Safari prioritizes the safety and satisfaction of its customers. In 2023, we adhere to international standard trekking rules and regulations to ensure the best experience for our trekkers. Here are some of the guidelines we follow:
Rucksack: We help our customers choose the appropriate rucksack for their trek, ensuring it is suitable for the intended route and comfortable to wear without causing excessive strain.
Footwear: We recommend suitable footwear based on the trek’s difficulty level. For short and less technical treks, lightweight trekking shoes may be sufficient. However, for multi-day or more complex treks, we advise using specialized hiking boots for better protection and support.
GPS, map, and compass: We encourage trekkers to carry the necessary navigation equipment, whether it’s a map and compass for traditional orienteering or a GPS device for those who prefer a technological approach. This helps avoid getting lost and assists in finding shelters, water sources, or emergency shortcuts.
Water and food supplies: We emphasize the importance of staying hydrated during treks by recommending carrying an ample supply of water. We also provide guidance on packing nutritious and lightweight food items to sustain energy without weighing down the trekker’s backpack.
Rain and sun protection: We advise trekkers to check the weather forecast and prepare accordingly. Carrying a waterproof jacket in case of rain or thunderstorms is essential. Additionally, we recommend sun protection measures such as sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses with protective lenses and impact-resistant frames.
Prudent preparation: We suggest including essential items in the trekker’s backpack, such as a thermal blanket, flashlight, and whistle. While these tools may not be frequently used, they can be crucial in emergency situations or when help is needed.
First aid kit: We ensure that our trekkers always carry a first aid kit, even for easier treks. This kit can be helpful in treating minor injuries like abrasions, bruises, or small cuts.
Multi-purpose tool: We recommend including a multi-purpose tool in the trekker’s kit. This versatile tool can be used for various tasks such as cutting gauze, opening bottles, slicing bread, cutting twigs, tightening spectacle frames, removing splinters, and more.
By adhering to these regulations and providing the necessary guidance and support, Markhor Safari aims to create a safe and enjoyable trekking experience for our customers in 2023.
