Basics to keep in mind while walking
- Walk straight. Never sit and climb down at slopes, as it will get more painful.
- When tired, avoid sitting down on the trail. This will tighten your muscles and make it difficult for you start walking again.
- Never gulp water when you halt to take a break. Take small sips instead.
- It is not a good idea to sit as soon as you stop to take a break. Standing and resting is a better thing to do.
- Whenever you feel uneasy, immediately inform your teammates so that things do not get out of hand.
- It is not advisable to walk with earphones listening to music on the trail as it could be hazardous.
- Do not litter and do not talk loudly.
- Respect nature and the surrounding environment.
