Safety Tips to Remember
• Do remember to carry plenty of water with you as after Bhattara Mane, there will be no water available.
• This trek is known to have reptiles in stretches and you must be careful of leeches and cobras. Carrying anti- venom might also be a good idea.
• You must also carry energy bar and pack some light snacks as well. Travel light with a comfortable backpack and you must also wear comfortable shoes. If you have something extra, then you may drop them off at Forest Reserve and take them on the way back.
• Carry a jacket and shades if it is winter.
• Make sure you are physically fit so that you can complete the trek. Do not attempt the trek if you have a heart condition, asthma or blood pressure.
• Enquire if the trek organizer has portable toilets because after Bhattara Mane there won’t be any proper toilets.
