How TrekUp India is making your trek safe

TrekUp India has always been at the forefront in bringing in new safety practices into Indian trekking. Microspikes for walking on snow was introduced by TrekUp India Emergency bottled oxygen on all treks was made mandatory byTrekUp India. So was using pulse oxymeters to test pulse and oxygen saturation levels. Radio as safety communication device was introduced in treks by TrekUp India. Though not every organisation follow these systems, I am happy to see many of our competing organisations adopting these practices (fairly quickly, I must admit!).

Here then are the new safety protocols that TrekUp India is bringing in

On-Trek Safety Checks

*Daily oxygen saturation and pulse readings

*More Oxygen Cylinders

*Stretchers team on every trek

*High Altitude Medical kit

*Radios

*Technical team on all snowy slopes

*Trek Leaders and Safety

*Mountain Staff and Safety

*Pick up: Trekkers are picked up from Dehradun railway station at 6:30 am. Usually, trekkers are clubbed together with other participants to make a group. The group travels together to Sankri in shared cabs. Transport from Dehradun to Sankri and return from Sankri to Dehradun costs Rs.5,500 per vehicle one way. A Bolero/Max sits 5-6 participants.
