HYGIENE

During the Bhrigu Lake Trek, toilet facilities are typically basic and designed to minimize environmental impact. Here’s what you can expect:

Toilet Tents at Campsites : At Yaarana Adventures, we set up portable toilet tents at each campsite. These tents provide privacy and are equipped with dry pit systems, where a pit is dug into the ground. After use, trekkers cover their waste with soil, promoting hygiene and environmental sustainability.

Eco-Friendly Practices : Trekkers are encouraged to use biodegradable toiletries, such as soap and toilet paper, to reduce environmental impact. It’s advisable to avoid non-degradable items like wet wipes.

Mid-Trek Facilities : Along the trekking route, there are generally no permanent toilet facilities. Trekkers should plan to use the facilities at campsites before setting out each day.

Personal Hygiene : Carrying personal hygiene kits, including hand sanitizers and biodegradable toilet paper, is recommended. This ensures cleanliness and comfort throughout the trek.

By adhering to these practices, trekkers can maintain personal hygiene while preserving the pristine environment of the Bhrigu Lake region.
