Rules
and regulations:
1. Do
understand that we do not arrange picnics. It follows that if one seeks luxury
and absolute comfort then we can hardly help them. ;)
2. Offbeat
Sahyadri believe in being one with nature and that is possible only when we
shed all city slicker attitudes. Of course by that we do not suggest that one
should be ready for any kind of nonsense.
3. Utmost
care is taken to ensure safety of the group and care is taken that no one is
inconvenienced because of factors within our control.
4. We
do expect our offbeater friends to understand group dynamics and leave at home
their individuality. They should be prepared to share and care. That makes and
all the physical and mental exhaustion forgettable and the trek itself becomes
unforgettable! Trust us on this.
Now
some basic codes:
Respect
nature:
1. Absofreakinglutely
no littering! Carry your own trash. If you are found littering then we will
request you to pick it up. Friends, it is really not nice to throw garbage
around and it only reflects upon us. Will we do this to our own houses?
REDUCE,
REUSE, RECYCLE!
2. Do
not disturb the flora and fauna. No making pretty bouquets of grabbed flowers
and blooms. No feeding and intimidating birds and other animals. Think how you
would feel if someone barges into your house and threatens you. The jungle is
THEIR home. So, Capital NO= NO!
3. Remember,
the mountain has a mind of his own. Beware and do not make the mistake of
taking him for granted. It sounds weird but it’s true.
With
fellow trekkers:
1. It
is fun to interact and get to know people from different walks of life. Feel
free to take the opportunity to expand your social circles.
2. Share
water and food. Nothing else is a better ice breaker than being offered water
or a bite of your sandwich!
3. Care
for your fellow trekkers. It is not nice to be self centered and unamicable.
For
your own safety:
1. The
organizers and you yourself are equally responsible for your safety. We cannot
take the blame for injuries or inconveniences arising out of actions outside
the organizers instructions and acts of nature.
2. Simply
put, stay with the group. Do not rush far too ahead or lag too behind. We
understand that everyone has a different stamina and we try to keep the group
bound together.
3. Do
not wander off from the main trail. Whenever there is no established trail,
strictly stay with the group. Be within the sight of the person ahead of you
and the one behind you. It helps.
4. One
must understand that the group leader is responsible for the entire group and
may have to take some tough decisions at times. If one expects a memorable
experience with us then we expect full cooperation and discipline. To sum up,
the leader’s decision will be final and binding on all offbeaters.
5. Finally,
the non arguable part. Smoking and other forms of tobacco use and alcohol
consumption is strictly prohibited.
Regards,
Team
OffBeat Sahyadri
