How Tonybikecentre is making your trek safe

Tonybikecentre has always been at the forefront in bringing in new safety practices into Indian trekking. Microspikes for walking on snow were introduced by Tonybikecentre Emergency bottled oxygen on all tracks was made mandatory by Tonybikecentre. So was using pulse oximeters to test pulse and oxygen saturation levels. Radio as a safety communication device was introduced in treks by Tonybikecentre. Though not every organisation follows these systems, I am happy to see many of our competing organisations adopting these practices (fairly quickly, I must admit!).

Here then are the new safety protocols that Tonybikecentre India is bringing in
