Do's:
• Always follow the instructions given by your group leader / local guides.
• Take small steps while walking on the slippery slopes.
• Always keep distance between you and the person in front of you while walking on the slippery slopes.
• Watch the branch or plant that you are holding, it could be weak or may have an insect on it.
• Carry all the waste back out of the forests.
• While crossing rivers or streams, keep your feet properly on the bed.
