Sagot :

Answer:

Stay on the Trail

Don’t stray from the established trail nor try to take another path, as this necessarily damages the surrounding plants. Additionally, don’t cut down trees or damage any vegetation to set up camp. Only pitch tents at dedicated campsites.

As hikers, always aim to make the least impact on the mountains you visit to keep them healthy and to maintain their beauty.

Keep Unnecessary Noise to a Minimum

don’t blast loud music while hiking. This does not disturb only local wildlife, but it also disrespects other mountaineers who prefer to hike in silence or listen to the sounds of nature. Use your earphones if listening to music helps you hike.

Be Compassionate and Helpful to Fellow Hikers-

If you see any hiker encountering some kind of difficulty along the trail assist them as much as you can. If a fellow hiker ran out of trail food and you have more to spare, offer it to him/her. What comes around goes around.

Observe ‘Right of Way’ on the Trails

Always give way to locals who are going about their daily lives. If you are descending, give way to hikers who are going uphill. Additionally, if your pace is slow, make way for fast-moving hikers. Similarly, if you are fast, politely ask slow-moving hikers for permission to advance on the trail.

Be Nice to Your Local Guides and Treat them with Respect

introduce yourself to the guide and make your guide feel like a part of your group. Invite them during socials, and offer them food and water. If your guide is moving too fast and way ahead of the team, politely ask him/her to slow down. Additionally, if you ask the guide to act as a porter, make sure to give extra compensation.
