• Safety & Risk Awareness

  Dhak Bahiri involves technical climbing, steep rock sections, narrow exposed terrain and rappelling, making it substantially different from a conventional hiking or fort trek. The final approach to the cave is described by trekking operators as a semi-technical or technical vertical rock section.

  Participants may encounter:

• Steep rock faces
• Narrow exposed sections
• Loose rocks and gravel
• Slippery surfaces
• Significant exposure
• Rope-assisted climbing
• Controlled rappelling
• Physical fatigue and dehydration

• Participants must maintain concentration throughout the technical sections and strictly follow instructions from the technical support team.

  No participant may proceed ahead of the technical team or attempt an alternate climbing line without permission.

  Special Safety Advisory

  The technical climbing and rappelling sections are the most critical parts of the Dhak Bahiri experience.

  Each participant must:

• Wear the safety equipment provided/assigned by the technical team as instructed.
• Follow all rope, harness, helmet and movement instructions.
• Wait for clearance before entering a technical section.
• Maintain adequate distance from the participant ahead.
• Never disconnect, adjust or remove safety equipment without technical-team instructions.
• Never attempt to overtake another participant during climbing or rappelling.
• Follow the designated climbing and rappelling line.
• Immediately inform the technical team if feeling uncomfortable, dizzy, injured or physically exhausted.

• Technical activities may be stopped or modified at any time if weather, rock conditions, equipment conditions or participant safety requires it.
