On a trekking trip you will generally be hiking anywhere between four to eight hours a day, up and down mountain trails that are steep and rocky, and mostly at elevations above 10,000 feet.
Exercise at high altitude compounds physiologic stress. In addition, high altitude may create discomfort and symptoms of illness that you do not experience while exercising at lower elevations, such as shortness of breath, restlessness or sleeplessness at night, and headaches. You need to be in excellent health and top physical condition to enjoy such an experience, with adequate cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, and excellent balance.
Insurance Basic Guideline
It is imperative that you have a travel insurance when on a holiday. You would need to buy this at your country as this cannot be done in India. Insurance, especially for extreme adventure sports, like rafting, trekking and expeditions, needs to be able to cover all emergencies including hospitalization, hotel bills, flights (if you have to return early), helicopter rescue.
Paddle India carry no type of liability insurance, personal medical insurance, emergency rescue or evacuation, or any type of insurance whatsoever for participants. However, we have insurance coverage for all of our staff and porters wherever applicable.
