Things To Carry:

• Day backpack (20 – 30 Ltrs): When you are on a local sightseeing tour, you are required to carry only a few necessary items, and for that, you need a day backpack as you will leave your bigger one at your designated stay. 
• Floaters or Sandals: When you are spending your day at leisure, a good pair of sandals and floaters will help you to move freely.
• 1 Down Jacket / Main Jacket: It’s emphasised that you need to carry proper layers so you can avoid getting cold, which is why you need to carry an insulated jacket that you can put on over your other clothes.
• 1 Pair of Thermal: A Thermal is a piece of clothing that helps in keeping your body warm in cold temperatures. It is a necessary item that you need when travelling to cold regions.
• Outdoor Shoes: A comfortable shoe is required when travelling outdoors, especially in the mountains. They shouldn’t be chunky; instead, they should be lightweight and sturdy.
• 3 Quick Dry Tees: You must keep at least three pairs of quick dry tees so that you can wash them in between stops for proper hygiene. 
• 3 Pair of Cotton Socks: Cotton socks are extremely comfortable to move around in and are lightweight as well, which is why you can always count on a good pair of cotton socks while travelling. However, keep in mind to change them and avoid wearing them if they are moist.
• 1 Pair of Woollen Socks: A good pair of woollen socks, especially merino, is comfortable, limits odours and provides adequate insulation from the cold so you can wear them at night.
• 1 Poncho: A poncho is an evolved form of a raincoat that provides coverage to your body as well as your bag and ensures total water protection from the rain. 
• Quick-dry towel: A quick-dry towel will help in maintaining proper hygiene. It must dry quickly because the wet fabric will only increase the chance of bacterial growth.
• Gloves: Insulated gloves help in maintaining proper body heat in your hands.
• Sanitiser: Prevent the risk of infections and maintain proper hand hygiene by making sure you carry a hand sanitiser.
• Sun Cap: A lightweight sun cap with side flaps is perfect to keep your head cool and avoid sunburn on a sunny day. 
• Lip Balm: Your lips can become chapped due to the harsh, cold winds, so it's important to keep them moisturised.
• Cold Cream & Sun Screen (SPF 40+): To avoid sunburns and chafing, you need to put on sunscreen as well as cold cream.
• Water Bottle (1 Ltr): Hydration is extremely important when it comes to travelling. Carrying a water bottle that you can refill with Himalayan water is a must.
• Bag for all your Toiletries: A bag with all your essentials, including napkins, toothpaste, sanitisers, paper soap, etc, should be carried in a ziplock bag. 
• Personal Basic Medical Kit: Carrying a medical kit with bandages, Dettol, and medication for headaches, nausea, etc, is necessary.
• Sunglasses / People who use spectacles (Use Photochromic glasses instead of contact lenses): Photochromatic glasses are specs that are designed to transform into anti-glare shades depending upon exposure to the sun. They are good when it comes to eye protection, but one can also opt for clip-on glasses, etc.
• Mobile charger / Power bank: Although you'll get electricity at most places, it is always advisable to carry a charged power bank in case of emergencies.
• Documents: Identification proofs like Aadhar Card and driver's License.
• Extra Polythene: In case your clothes get wet or your garments don’t dry, you can carry them in polythene. However, make sure that all the plastic that you are carrying into the woods is with you. Don’t litter.
• Camera: This should be obvious. To make sure that you get to capture all the great moments from your trip. Make sure that you have enough storage and some extra batteries as well.
