Khatling Glacier Trek Travel Tips

• Do not forget to carry your identity card and passport sized photographs.
• Be sure to check for inner line permits before you commence the trek.
• If you are travelling by your own vehicle, get your fuel tank full at Uttarkashi/Tehri/Rishikesh itself. There are no petrol pumps after Uttarkashi.
• Carry sufficient cash and necessary items from Uttarkashi/Tehri/Rishikesh itself as there are the only nearby cities from Khatling Glacier and its base villages.
• Do not forget to carry medical kit for headaches, cold, cough, stomach ache, etc. as you could need them during your trek. 
• Carry appropriate woollen clothing, shoes, and equipment for trekking and camping. Even if you travel in summers, you will need warm clothes for the trek. 
• Get detailed guidelines for the trek from your guide/agency beforehand and prepare the required items well in advance.
• The best time to visit Khatling Glacier is during summers and post-monsoon seasons during the months of May-June and September-October. Avoid trekking during monsoons and winters.
• Since, Khatling Glacier trek is a high altitude trek preferred by trekkers who love adventure and moderate mountaineers, it is advisable that only those people should opt for the trek who have at least 2-3 high-altitude trekking experience.
•  Be sure that you are physically fit for the trek.
• Owing to the altitude and duration of the trek, altitude sickness and AMS can be a problem for some. Notice if you are feeling nauseous, having headaches, or not feeling well. Inform your group and your guide and practice some relaxation measures like slow deep breathing.
•  A serious form of altitude sickness is AMS and you shouldn’t neglect it. Any sort of discomfort must be talked through with the group. To avoid such situations, have water at regular intervals, breathe properly, take regular breaks, and do not over exert yourself.
