• Before you buy a bottle, inspect it to make sure the cap is sealed properly.

• Carry a handkerchief to dry the tops of bottled drinks before and after opening.

• At most lodges it is safe to use ice in your drinks, but check with your Trip Leader before
using ice.

TIP: Our Trip Leaders suggest that you bring some re-hydration sachets with you (the type that help to
replace lost electrolytes). They will make you feel much better if you get dehydrated.

Food
• The food served at our lodges is safe, including salads and fruits.

• Exercise caution when eating at small local restaurants or buying food from
street vendors.

• Eat only food that is well done and is still hot.

• Since the tap water is not safe to drink, you should be mindful about eating salads or
fruits outside of our lodges—they may have been washed in tap water. (Fruit that you
peel yourself should be OK.)

• Your Trip Leader will advise you if he/she feels that something is unsafe for you to eat.
