Things to avoid on your first trekking trip

1. Avoid drinking alcohol or smoking a few days before or during your trek; this will help you build stamina and avoid dehydration. You will also feel healthier.

2. Avoid carrying a large backpack; carry essentials; prefer a backpack with a rain cover; a wet backpack will get heavier by five times.

3. Don't wear sports shoes, gym shoes, or sandals; wear proper trekking shoes and invest in good ones.

4. Carry your trash home; we are all educated individuals. Littering slopes harms the environment and ruins the beautiful views.

5. Keep your family and friends informed about your trekking adventure; in case of an emergency, they will arrange for help.
