Safety Guidelines

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.
Wear full sleeves and full track pants — this protects your skin from sun, thorns, insects and prickles.
