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.

Dev Kyara is located at an altitude of 4,100 meters (13,450 feet) in the Uttarkashi region of Uttarakhand. This high-altitude meadow offers breathtaking views, making it a perfect destination for trekkers seeking adventure and scenic landscapes.
The trek is considered moderate to difficult due to its steep ascents, rugged terrain, and long trekking distances. Trekkers must be physically prepared to cover challenging sections while adjusting to high-altitude conditions.
The best time to trek is from May to June and September to October. These months provide stable weather, lush green landscapes, and clear mountain views, making for an enjoyable trekking experience.
The trek typically takes seven to eight days, including travel time from Dehradun. The itinerary allows time for acclimatization, ensuring trekkers can adjust to the high altitude while enjoying the beautiful surroundings.
The trek starts from Boincha Village, which is accessible via Sankri. Trekkers must first travel from Dehradun to Sankri by road before reaching the trek's base village.
Dev Kyara is known for its lush meadows, dense forests, gushing streams, and panoramic views of peaks like Swargarohini and Bandarpunch. The trail offers a mix of alpine beauty and cultural experiences in remote Himalayan villages.

Trekkers stay in tents at designated campsites throughout the journey. There are no homestays or lodges along the route, so it is essential to carry proper camping equipment.
Since the trek reaches an altitude of over 4,000 meters, there is a risk of altitude sickness. Proper acclimatization, hydration, and a gradual ascent are necessary to prevent Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS).
Yes, trekkers will need to cross multiple small rivers and wooden bridges along the route. These crossings add to the adventure but require caution, especially during monsoon or after heavy rainfall.
Trekkers may encounter barking deer, Himalayan black bears, and monals in the region. The diverse flora and fauna make the trek even more exciting for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts.
