General Precautions:
Weather Awareness:
- Clothing: Carry layers of warm clothing, especially if traveling in the colder months. Even in summer, nights can be chilly in the hills.
- Rain Gear: During monsoon season (July to September), carry raincoats or umbrellas, and waterproof shoes, as the region can experience heavy rainfall.
Health Precautions:
- Hydration: Stay hydrated but ensure you drink bottled or boiled water to avoid waterborne diseases.
- Altitude Sickness: If you are prone to altitude sickness, especially in places like Kausani, move slowly, stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol.
- Medication: Carry essential medications, including those for common ailments like headaches, stomach issues, or motion sickness.
COVID-19 Safety:
- Keep face masks, hand sanitizers, and disinfectant wipes handy.
- Follow local COVID-19 guidelines and protocols, especially in crowded tourist areas.
Avoid Night Travel:
- Try to avoid traveling at night in hilly areas, as visibility is low and wildlife may cross the roads.
Wildlife Safety in Jim Corbett:
Guided Tours:
- Always go on safaris or nature walks with an experienced guide. They are knowledgeable about animal behavior and safety precautions.
- Follow all instructions given by the guide, especially when near wildlife.
Do Not Disturb Wildlife:
- Maintain a safe distance from animals. Do not attempt to feed or provoke them.
- Avoid loud noises, sudden movements, or flashing lights, which can disturb animals.
Stay Inside Vehicles:
- During safaris, do not get out of the vehicle unless at designated areas, and never venture into restricted zones.
Bonfire Safety:
- If you have a bonfire, ensure it’s in a controlled, safe area, and never leave it unattended. Extinguish it completely before leaving the area.
Precautions in the Hills:
Trekking and Hiking:
- If you plan to hike, wear appropriate shoes with a good grip. Carry a first aid kit, water, and some snacks.
- Stick to marked trails, and avoid going off-path where there may be loose rocks or wildlife.
Altitude Adjustment:
- Take it easy on the first day in high-altitude areas like Kausani to allow your body to acclimate. Avoid strenuous activities if you’re not used to high altitudes.
Communication:
- Mobile networks may be weak in some areas. Inform your hotel or someone about your plans if you’re venturing into remote places.
Food and Water Safety:
Local Food:
- While trying local foods, ensure the food is fresh and cooked thoroughly to avoid stomach issues.
