Tip: when calling, say your location first (town, road, landmark), then describe the emergency.

If someone is in immediate danger, call the local emergency number first (1122 / 15).
Share your live location and nearest landmark (bridge, hotel, village name).
If you're in mountains, move to a safe spot (away from cliffs, rivers, avalanche paths).
Keep a warm layer on the injured person; prevent dehydration and shock.

Save offline maps before you leave city coverage (Hunza, Fairy Meadows, Kumrat routes).
Keep copies of passport/ID (photo + cloud) and write down key phone numbers.
For remote treks (K2/Concordia), travel with a licensed guide and avoid solo movement after sunset.
If weather turns, stop early and wait it out — don't push into fog, rain, or river crossings.

If you lose your passport/ID: report to the nearest police station and get a report copy.
Contact your embassy/consulate as soon as you have stable signal; keep photos of documents ready.
If your phone is lost: call your mobile provider to block the SIM and secure accounts.
