Backpackers Manual

Standing atop Mt. Everest, a well known mountaineer had a big challenge to tackle, to climb down safely without putting himself in danger. In the mountains, it is obvious that one faces disasters, hurdles and sometimes nature’s fury. The courage and adventure involved in facing such adversities attracts many people to mountaineering.

Chakram Hikers has always been on its toes to provide its members updated knowledge and information on various subjects to make their walk in the wild safe. On the occasion of its Silver Jubilee Celebration in the year 2007-08, Chakram Hikers published this manual which will help to handle emergencies which arise in the mountains.

The first few chapters of the manual have been devoted to preparation for a trek, environmental factors, common do’s & don’ts on a trek, accommodation etc. The next part provides information on First Aid and Medical Emergencies outdoors. Also information about fire hazards, emergency contact nos., rescue by air-lifting, Insurance etc. has been covered in the manual.

The aim of this manual is to create awareness about preservation of the environment and helping wanderers to handle emergencies while on mountains. We hope everyone reading this manual finds it useful.
