At Escape2explore, we’re committed to providing a memorable and safe trekking experience in the majestic Himalayas. The terrain and weather in the Himalayas can be unpredictable, so please follow these essential do’s and don’ts to ensure a successful and enjoyable trek.
Do’s:
Listen to Your Guide: Our professional guides are experts in Himalayan trekking. Always follow their instructions and trust their judgment, especially in tricky or high-altitude areas.
Acclimatize Properly: The Himalayas mean high altitudes, which require proper acclimatization. We’ll ensure a gradual ascent, but it’s crucial to take things slow and follow the itinerary to avoid altitude sickness. Drink plenty of water and rest when needed.
Wear the Right Gear: The Himalayas can be cold, even in summer. Wear layered clothing, including thermal wear, waterproof jackets, and sturdy, insulated trekking boots with good grip. Bring a hat and gloves to protect yourself from cold winds.
Hydrate and Eat Well: Dehydration happens faster at high altitudes. Keep sipping water throughout the trek and eat enough food to maintain your energy. Our team will provide regular breaks to recharge.
Use Trekking Poles: Himalayan trails can be steep and uneven, so using trekking poles can greatly reduce the strain on your knees and help you maintain balance.
Respect Local Culture: The Himalayan region is home to diverse local communities with rich cultural traditions. Respect the customs, interact politely with locals, and follow any guidelines provided by your guide.
Carry Essential Items: Bring items like sunscreen (even in the snow!), lip balm, sunglasses, and a first-aid kit with altitude sickness medication. It’s better to be prepared for the high-altitude sun and cold winds
Be Environmentally Conscious: The Himalayas are pristine and need our care. Follow the ‘Leave No Trace’ policy by carrying back all waste, respecting wildlife, and leaving nature undisturbed.
Don’ts:
Don’t Ignore Altitude Sickness Symptoms: If you feel dizzy, have headaches, or feel nauseous, inform your guide immediately. Ignoring these signs can lead to serious health issues. We can adjust the pace or descent if needed.
Don’t Rush or Overexert Yourself: The key to trekking in the Himalayas is steady progress. Don’t rush ahead, as it can strain your body at high altitudes. Take breaks when needed and walk at a pace that’s comfortable for you.
Don’t Pack Unnecessary Items: Light backpacks make for easier treks. We’ll help you with a packing list, so don’t bring heavy or non-essential items that will weigh you down on steep climbs.
Avoid Trekking in Dangerous Weather: The Himalayan weather can change rapidly. We monitor conditions closely, but if your guide suggests delaying the trek due to rain, snow, or windstorms, trust their decision.
Don’t Wander Off Alone: The vast Himalayan landscape can be disorienting. Always stick with the group, and let your guide know if you need to stop or take a break. Avoid exploring unfamiliar areas on your own.
Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: Consuming alcohol or smoking can worsen the effects of altitude sickness and lower your stamina. It’s best to avoid them before and during the trek for your safety and well-being.
Don’t Harm the Environment: Avoid littering or causing damage to the natural surroundings. The Himalayas are fragile, so we ask you to be mindful and carry back any waste to designated disposal areas.

The Baraadsar Lake Trek is tucked between the Rupin and Supin valleys in Uttarakhand, India. It's a remote and breathtaking trail that leads to a mystical lake, believed to be sacred by locals. The trek offers a true offbeat Himalayan adventure filled with dense forests, high ridges, and untouched beauty.
The Baraadsar Lake Trek is graded as moderate to challenging. While the early days are manageable with gradual ascents, the final approach to the lake involves steep climbs and tricky ridges. Good physical fitness and some prior trekking experience make the journey more enjoyable and safe.
The best seasons for Baraadsar Lake Trek are May to June and September to October. During these months, you can enjoy lush green landscapes or clear post-monsoon skies. The temperature remains pleasant for trekking, and the meadows bloom or turn golden, creating picture-perfect scenery.
The Baraadsar Lake Trek typically takes 7 to 8 days, depending on the itinerary. The journey involves careful acclimatization and gradual ascent, giving trekkers enough time to adjust and savor the changing landscapes—from thick forests to high alpine meadows and rocky ridges.
The trek offers an amazing variety: ancient forests, expansive meadows, thrilling ridge walks, and the pristine Baraadsar Lake itself. One of the most exhilarating parts is walking along narrow ridges with deep valleys on either side, providing jaw-dropping panoramic Himalayan views.
Yes, if you trek during early May or late October, you might encounter snow patches, especially near the lake and higher campsites. Fresh snow can make the landscape incredibly beautiful but may also make certain sections trickier, so proper gear and caution are needed.
Accommodation during the trek primarily involves camping. Trekkers sleep in durable, weatherproof tents under star-studded Himalayan skies. In some villages at the start or end of the trek, basic homestays may be available, offering a chance to experience warm local hospitality.
Essential items include sturdy trekking shoes, layered clothing for cold and warm conditions, waterproof jackets, trekking poles, a headlamp, gloves, sunglasses, and a personal first-aid kit. Also, pack a power bank, high-energy snacks, and a water purification method, as the trek is remote.
The Baraadsar Lake Trek is not recommended for absolute beginners due to its long days and steep ridges. However, if you have completed a few easy to moderate treks before and have decent fitness, you can take on Baraadsar with the right preparation and mindset.
Expect cold nights, especially near Baraadsar Lake. Temperatures can drop to -2°C to 5°C at higher camps, particularly in pre-monsoon and post-monsoon months. Proper layering and a good-quality sleeping bag rated for sub-zero temperatures are crucial to staying warm and comfortable.
The maximum altitude reached during the trek is approximately 4,400 meters (14,435 feet) at Baraadsar Lake. The lake sits in a glacial basin surrounded by snow-capped peaks, creating a breathtaking and almost mystical setting that feels untouched by time.
Yes, you can join the trek to Baraadsar Lake. The trip’s difficulty level is moderate and can be attained without someone’s support. Wear robust footwear, and comfortable clothes, and maintain basic fitness to complete the trek.
