....... Kailash Mansarovar Yatra
.......
 While trekking, walk towards
the hill, not to the drop-side. Don't withdraw
towards drop-side to give way to any person or
horse/pony.
The yatra time is from morning
to noon. So you are advised to start early and
reach next camp by noon. Wet clothes, due to rain
or sweat, should be changed and make your
arrangements for next day's yatra.
The
arrangements for horses and porters are to be done
in the very beginning at Tawaghat. It is not
possible to get them in the middle of
yatra.
Trek according to the route. Don't
experiment with shortcuts or untrodden
ways.
During your trek, be cautious, yet
confident. Take special care of difficult terrain
and watch out for landslides, falling rocks/
boulders, cloudbursts, the Kali River flowing
alongside. You should trek as a team, taking care
of your other team-members and warning each other
of potential hazards.
Use only water of
safe springs for drinking. Fill your water bottles
from camp. On the wayside, teashops give
relief.
During the selection itself Yatris
are advised to procure good quality trekking
shoes/ walking-stick, raincoats, Polythene and
Rucksacks to carry their belongings, goggles,
woolens mufflers, hats, jackets/wind-cheaters,
couple of pairs of socks, cameras, transistor
radios and general medicines. Notebooks and pens
can also prove handy.
