Things to pack for your trekking

Before starting every trek some mandatory things should be with you. Don't pack unnecessary things. They will become burden for you during trekking.

Below is the list I have prepared that i got to know from India Hikes and some self experience.

Things to pack: [Most of the things we got from Decathlon and rest from Departmental Shops]

1. Rucksack(50-60L)
2. Small backpack(For Day packing which I will describe later)
3. 3 layers of clothing: Warmer, Flees and Heavy Jacket
4. 5-6 t-shirts(Round neck/collared)
5. 3 trek pants
6. 5 pair of socks(because the trail is full of river outlets, fountains so your sock might get wet and you cannot continue with a wet sock, it will give you blisters. Also we should be prepared for sudden rain. After all its Himalaya)
7. 5 pair of Under Garments(Ladies, please take “Sports Bra” [5]with you)
8. Waterproof Ankle length Trekking shoe
9. Trekking Poles

14. Neck Warmer/Balaclava
15. Head Lamp
16. 3 Tissue paper roll for each person( which is very necessary for mainly for “Dry toilet” engagement and other things)
17. Two 1 Litre water bottles for each person
18. Sunglasses
19. Sunscreen
20. Diamox (It is a “Diuretic” drug used to prevent and reduce the symptoms of High Altitude Sickness: it causes increase in the production of Urine)
21. 10-20 packets of ORS(trust me it helps a lot when you are taking endless trails)
22. Loads of dry fruits, chocolates, Biscuits. Do not take much oily snacks as that might cause health issue, you never know!
23. Plastic Glass and Tiffin Box
24. First Aid
