While prior trekking experience is not mandatory, it is highly recommended. The Deo Tibba Base Trek involves challenging terrain and changing weather conditions, so having experience in trekking at high altitudes and basic knowledge of outdoor survival skills will greatly enhance your trekking experience.
As the trek involves reaching altitudes above 4,000 meters, there is a potential risk of altitude sickness. It is important to acclimatize properly, stay hydrated, and follow the guidance of your trek leader. Adequate rest and a gradual ascent will help minimize the risks associated with high altitudes.
Mobile network coverage is limited along the trekking route. In certain sections, especially at higher altitudes, there may be no network connectivity. It is advisable to inform your family and friends about the limited communication availability and make necessary arrangements accordingly.
Safety is a top priority during the Deo Tibba Base Trek. Experienced guides, skilled cooks, and a support staff accompany the trekking group. They are well-trained in first aid and emergency protocols. Adequate safety equipment and medical kits are carried along, and regular briefings are provided to ensure the safety and well-being of all participants.
With 25+ years of expertise, we offer diverse expeditions like Trekking, Mountaineering, Ski Touring, Cycling, Paragliding and Snow Leopard encounters.
Our adventures prioritise safety and follow Leave No Trace principles. Certified guides trained in Wilderness First Aid provide care throughout your journey.
