Safety in the Mountains
Dogs: When they are in the wild they are generally not dangerous, however, it must be considered that they are territorial animals and problems can arise. If the animal shows signs of aggression, you must not panic and do not run away, but retreat calmly and possibly interpose, between you and the dog, the backpack or a stick.
Bears: Triund is also known as “The Bear Valley”. However, there are rare cases of bear encounters on Triund Trail due to aggressive tourism activities. To be safe, stay with your group or guide, avoid using deodorants or anything that has a strong fragrance, and don’t keep food in the open. If the bear comes too close, don’t run! You cannot run away from the bear. Continue speaking in a calm voice and start walking away slowly. Any bear will most likely refuse to continue the encounter and leave unless it is aggressive. In the worst case fall to the ground at the very last moment. Lie on your stomach with your legs spread slightly, or curl up in a ball. Cover your head with your fingers interlocking at the back of your head. In this position, you protect your face and neck. Wearing a backpack will help protect your back and neck. Don’t fight or shout. Stay still for as long as possible.
Stinging Nettle plant: Also known as “Bichu Buti” it has the greatest number of medicinal properties but it is covered with stinging hair that can cause allergy and irritation as soon as you touch its leaves. If that happens, do not scratch the area instead wash it with soap and water as soon as possible and apply a moistened cloth and after some time irritation will disappear.
In case of unforeseen weather conditions or government restrictions, the activity may be canceled and in such cases, you can reschedule your Triund Trek booking. However, no refund will be provided.
