I have been hearing about this for a while and i thought that this deserves a post for sure
1)I have heard from a lot of guides and people who offer their place/food for trekkers being left high and dry since folks from "bangalore" dont turn up
It is a shame that people dont care about time and effort .Most of these guides live on daily wages,so if you are cancelling your trip ,inform him by calling him up,that stands true for people who painstakingly prepare food and folks dont turn up
Remember all it takes is 1 phone call ,please do it
2)Another interesting thing that i find is the so called first time trekkers go in for tough treks like ombattu gudda and the like and get lost
Well it is high time the so called trekkers have some sanity and think before making such blunders.It is suggested that trekkers take guides and have done some amount of trekking before heading for such tough treks
