SOP implemented in four trekking trails in Kudremukh Wildlife Division in Karnataka
The Karnataka Forest Department has implemented a new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for trekking in the Kudremukh Wildlife Division to improve safety and environmental conservation. The guidelines include mandatory online registration, professional guides, and strict rules against single-use plastics and flash photography.
Why it matters
This initiative balances the growing popularity of eco-tourism with the urgent need to protect fragile forest ecosystems and ensure the safety of trekkers.
After Karnataka’s Forest Department introduced Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for trekking in forest areas, Kudremukh Wildlife Division is the first to implement the SOP in four of eight trails where trekking has resumed.
