That’s stretching it bit too far Sir. Why rely on paper maps when the tech is available.

Provided one is using GPS to navigate his/her way through the terrain.

Unfortunately the Google Generation relies more on Gadgets than conventional Map books They prepare minimum and most of the times have no clue as what to expect on a bad situation !They don’t take any advice if it’s not convenient to them..i am yet to see a yoing trekker carry a physical map to see the topography.zsp what’s the solution..The nature takes care of you, if you play with it !

I am really sorry for your loss. I am due to leave for a trek in the Himalayas next month and I am going to be really careful. Hope my trek goes off well.

Sorry for your lose. I recently learned how fragile we could be in the presence of nature when my family and I were caught in heavy snowfall in Shimla recently, but the serverity was still manageable since we’re still in the developed town. I knew it’s tougher to handle something like this in the remote trekking places. I agree with you, poor research could lead to unexpected problems, and informations on the internet had to be taken carefully.

Dont bring Ego to Mountains: One must also never bring his “Man Ego” to mountains which is fatal enough to turn your pleasure into stupidity. More importantly, try to avoid going with a group which has a tendency to exhibit such behavior just for fun.

Also, when you are new to a region, one should always take a guide or a reliable local guy who knows the alternate escape route or know-how when things go wrong.

I have personally tried to take care of these two things apart from what Tarun sir mentioned above and so have tried my best to minimise my risks in the mountains.

My condolences to students from NITH. RIP Akshay and Navneet
