Trekking Preparation
Treks to suit your requirements are easily arranged through many private operators and government organisations. A trek can range from a light walk in the woods to a grueling physical challenge. Assess your objectives and level of fitness before booking a trek that is right for you.
Safety and medical considerations are important if you are trekking in the wide, as a simple sprain can be a real problem if you are a long way from civilisation. Your trek organizer should have contingency plans and first aid for any unforeseen problems.
Proper equipment is necessary for trekking. Good shoes or boots are a must. Your trek organiser will probably provide backpacks, but make sure you have adequate warm and comfortable clothing, proof against insect bites, and a hat and UV block against the sun.
When exercising in tropical climates, it is recommended to drink up to five litres of water a day.
