medical bills in case of an injury
but it is advised that you have your
own comprehensive accident insurance.Before
comencement of the white water rafting
you will have a safety briefing..
What to wear
Wear light clothes as trekking in
this part of the world can be hot
and sweaty work. Shorts, T shirt and
a sun hat are ideal. Long trousers
are OK as they will protect your lower
legs more but will be hotter to wear.
Although hiking boots aren’t a necessity
at least a sturdy pair of running
shoes should be worn. Some people
trek with sandals but they do leave
your feet open to be scratched by
vegetation also flip flops (thongs)
aren’t appropriate as they don't provide
enough support. In the rainy season
from April to October bring a rain
coat. Please bring a dry change of
clothes for after the rafting.
What to bring
A small rucksack/day sack, shorts
and T shirt for trekking (long trousers
if you prefer), Walking shoes, socks,
swimming suit, small towel/sarong,
insect spray, sun cream, Raincoat
(rainy season), some toilet paper,
One bottle of water. Some money for
drinks and hill tribe crafts if you
want to buy. |
