Preparation of travel for a holiday of hiking vs Package

Imagine you are a tourist in a new town. You have found one of the best package tours you've seen in a few years, and now enjoy your luxury Holidays in India in the popular downtown area. All you need is just a short distance away. Even as a "tourist" are you really not too keen to get lost and rightfully so. You can always ask a local resident or buy a map from your local gift shop.

Now, the picture another scenario. You have decided to leave the fast-paced city and this india holidays that you are going to head great outdoors experience and I look forward to a walk through a beautiful, scenic National Park. You have done your research and bought the essentials, including a GPS unit to navigate your way through the Park. Or, maybe it has opted for a traditional map or compass.

These items are great, but it is always advisable to have some knowledge about traditional navigation skills to fall back. The maps may be lost. You can break the compass, batteries run low. or you may find that your GPS device does not work in the area you are hiking.

As mentioned above, it is always best to have drawn up taking some basic knowledge, which is dependent only on their intelligence and eyes. Fortunately, he really isn't that complicated or difficult to understand. Itself may surprise even how much you already know.



For example, most people are well aware that the sun rises in the East, while setting in the West, but remember that this is not an absolute truth. It is sometimes more difficult to judge during the middle part of the day or are away from the equator tour and travel in India . The Sun will be South of you in the northern hemisphere, but after about an hour it will have moved enough so you can get an idea about the general direction.

Also note, where the Sun is at half-hour intervals, so that you can create a mental directional line of where it moved, which will give you an East-West line. When you have an East-West line, you can then easily determine the North which is 90 degrees to the right of the West and South direction, which is 90 degrees to the left.
Finding your way at night may be more challenging, but you can still use the stars. You can use some of the major constellations such as the Big Øsens and Orions belt. Big Øsens is a group of stars resembles a cooking low value segment, and the two stars at the bottom of the scoop up a line pointing to the North Star. If you find the Orion belt, you will see that three of its stars form a fairly straight line across the East and West. As you can see, you can use the stars to find the general direction, just as you did in the Sun.

In general, the most important thing is to have a backup plan and freshen up on some of the knowledge of basic navigation. You may be glad you did!
