Listen to your leader
Always be in a group
On narrow route walk in single line
Follow Instructions from leader
Where the trail is unclear and there are no locals to advise, take the most trodden route. ...Many trekkers have become lost by wandering off alone. Preferably complete your trek in daylight. If intended destination is not approachable in daylight, head towards the nearest settlement unless until you are sure about route. Do not struggle on regardless risking a potentially fatal night out in the cold. In jungle, always move towards a ridge top, paths will invariably be found there. In valley bottoms, always move downstream towards lower ground where the likelihood of settlements is greater. Pneumonia and hypothermia are the main causes of death for lost trekkers.
