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
