Trekking has been practiced
in many parts of the world, including India, since ancient times. When
man was devoid of any means of transport, he depended on his own two
feet to carry him across vast mountainous terrains. Interestingly, today
with the abundance of modes of transport, trekking is enjoyed as an
adventure activity. In India, trekking in Himalayas is particularly famous, given the fact that this majestic range of mountains has countless challenging tacks for men to explore.
There are countless tour operators that organize different types of trekking trips in India.
These trips can cover the most basic and easy tracks meant for novice
trekkers and children. They can also include some of the most
challenging tracks which have not been traversed so frequently, for
people who love adventure and thrill. The duration of trekking in Himalaya
can also vary depending largely upon the type of track and the
difficulty of the terrain to be covered. Most often, the trekking tours
covering the upper reaches of the Himalayas, last anywhere between a few
days to a few weeks. On the other hand, trekking holidays in India covering the lower reaches of Himalayas are no longer than a day tour or a couple of days long.
Irrespective
of the type of tour that people book for, most tour operators ensure
that the participants are well aware of the various aspects of this
adventure sport. For this they generally organize an orientation program
at the start of every tour of trekking in India. Attending this
program is compulsory for every participant as it makes them aware of
not only the risks associated with the sport but also the basic
guidelines for keeping themselves safe and ensuring a fun filled trip.
In addition, the program also guides the participants about the various
methods of dealing with diverse emergency situations in a successful
manner. In order to enjoy the trekking activity, it is advisable for
participants to follow these guidelines strictly.
