How to Trek Safely in the Rainy Season

  • Wear grippy trekking shoes, never sandals. Wet rock, mud, and stream crossings make the trail slippery.
  • Carry a poncho, not an umbrella. It keeps both you and your backpack dry and leaves your hands free.
  • Double-bag your electronics. Seal your phone, power bank, and ID in zip-locks; add silica gel packs for extra protection.
  • Watch for leeches. Tuck trousers into socks, apply repellent on your legs, and carry a little salt to detach them painlessly.
  • Step on rock, not moss. Mossy surfaces are the slickest — plant your feet on bare rock or soil.
  • Follow your trek leader at stream crossings. Water levels rise fast in heavy rain; never cross alone.
  • Stay with the group. Fog reduces visibility quickly in this forest — keep your trek leader in sight at all times.
  • Start early and keep pace so you finish the trail before the heaviest afternoon weather.
