Safety Standards.

Safety is how we do adventure

At Raahi Club, we send strangers into the mountains together. That means safety isn't a checkbox — it's how we build trust. Every trip is planned with trained leaders, emergency protocols, and the care you'd want for yourself.

Pre-Trip Safety Measures

• Route Assessment: Before every batch, our team assesses trail conditions, weather forecasts, and any local advisories.
• Participant Health Check: Participants declare medical conditions, allergies, and physical limitations at registration. High-altitude treks may require a medical fitness certificate.
• Pre-Departure Briefing: All participants receive a briefing covering route details, safety protocols, emergency contacts, and how to handle altitude-related illness.
• Equipment Check: All shared safety equipment — ropes, tents, first aid kits — is inspected before every trip.
• Group Size: Batches are kept at manageable sizes to ensure every participant gets adequate attention from trek leaders.

On-Trip Safety Protocols

• Pace & Rest: Trek leaders monitor group pace, enforce regular rest breaks, and watch for signs of fatigue, dehydration, or altitude sickness.
• Weather Monitoring: Trips may be paused, rerouted, or turned back if conditions become unsafe. Safety always takes precedence over completing a route.
• No Solo Detours: Participants may not leave the group without explicit permission from the trek leader.
• Altitude Protocol: For high-altitude treks we follow strict acclimatisation schedules. Any participant showing signs of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) will be required to descend immediately.
• Night Safety: Head counts at every campsite. Participants are briefed on fire safety, wildlife precautions, and campsite rules.

If Something Goes Wrong

In the event of a medical emergency, injury, or crisis during a Raahi Club trip:

• The trek leader will immediately assess the situation and administer first aid.
• Emergency contacts of the participant will be notified as quickly as communication allows.
• The nearest medical facility, rescue service, or helicopter evacuation will be arranged without delay.
• A Raahi Club support contact is reachable throughout every active trip.
• All incidents are documented and reviewed to improve future safety protocols.

Participant Responsibilities

Safety is a shared responsibility. We ask all participants to:

• Disclose all medical conditions, limitations, and medications at registration — treated with strict confidentiality.
• Follow all instructions from the trek leader, especially regarding route decisions and turnarounds.
• Report any physical discomfort, dizziness, breathlessness, or unusual symptoms to the trek leader immediately.
• Carry adequate personal water, nutrition, and prescribed medication as briefed.
• Stay within the group at all times unless explicitly permitted by the leader.
• Avoid alcohol or substances that impair judgement during the trek or at altitude.

6 Things to Remember

Community Safety & Conduct

Raahi Club is a community built on trust and shared adventure. We have zero tolerance for behaviour that endangers or disrespects other participants.

• Any participant who endangers others will be removed from the trip without refund.
• Harassment of any kind — verbal, physical, or online — toward participants, guides, or local communities will result in immediate removal and possible reporting to authorities.
• Participants are expected to respect local customs, religious sites, and the natural environment throughout the trip.
