पावसाळी ट्रेकसाठी महत्वाचे : पावसाच्या सुरुवातीला जून आणि जुलैमध्ये ट्रेक करताना

१. ओढे, नाले, नदी ओलांडावी लागेल असे ट्रेक टाळावेत कारण अचानक पाण्याची पातळी वाढून ( flash floods)आपण अडचणीत सापडू शकता.उदा.कुंडलिका व्हँली.

२. धबधब्यांच्या मुखाशी जाताना विशेष काळजी घ्यावी कारण काही मिनिटात आपण चारी बाजूने पाण्याने वेढले जाऊ शकतो आणि अडकू शकतो किंवा वाहून जाऊ शकतो.

३. नवीन अनोळखी ट्रेक ग्रुपबरोबर ट्रेक टाळावेत कारण अडचणीत फक्त आपल्याला जवळून ओळखणारे किंवा सक्षम असणारे लोकच आपल्याला सोडवू शकतात.( Rescue) फक्त पैसे कमवण्यासाठी व्यवसाय करणारे नाहीत.

४.स्थानिक माणसांचा सल्ला १००% मानावा व गरज पडल्यास माघार घ्यावी.
जीव अमूल्य आहे आणि निसर्गात चुकीची शिक्षा समतुल्य ( proportionate) नसते छोटी चूकही जीवाशी बेतू शकते.

आनंद घेणे आणि जीव धोक्यात घालणे यातला फरक ओळखा
