How To Choose a Safe Trekking Organisation: Don't Get Scammed!

How do you know if a trekking organization is actually safe? Before you book a high-altitude trek, don't just look at the itinerary, price, photographs or reviews on the organization's own website. Your safety on the trail depends on much more. At Indiahikes, a large proportion of our trekkers are beginners, and our Trek Advisors can help you understand which trek is appropriate for your experience, fitness and goals - https://forms.zohopublic.in/indiahike... In this episode of Trek With Swathi, we break down 3 things you must check before choosing a trekking organization in India: 1. Safety Processes: Look at the people, processes and equipment behind the trek. Who is leading your trek? Are the trek leaders trained in wilderness first aid? What is the trek leader-to-trekker ratio? How does the organization monitor altitude sickness (AMS)? What medical equipment and safety gear do they carry? 2. Trustworthiness: Don't rely only on what a trekking company says about itself. Check independent reviews on platforms such as Google, Reddit and Quora. Also look at which schools, colleges and other institutions trust the organization with their groups. 3. Responsibility and Care: A responsible trekking organization should care not only about its trekkers, but also about the environment and the people who make the trek possible — guides, cooks, helpers, mule handlers and others in the mountain ecosystem.
