Original & photocopy of your travel & lodging tickets

First things first, inform the hotel or resort executive prior to your arrival.

The same may or may not be asked in the other places you visit. So it is better to have it for a pleasant travel.Add carrying valid ID cards of all people travelling to smooth travel.

Cash & ATM Card

Fill your wallet with sufficient cash and the required ATM card. It is better to rely on hot cash than depend on ATMs when finding ATM centers might be a cumbersome process in some places. The other method, UPI, requires an internet connection for transactions. So plan it accordingly. Carry cash carefully. To avoid this pressure of carrying so much cash, pre-book with advance payment to the resort or hotel.

Comfortable footwear

Carry suitable footwear that supports you in walking long distances and for a good trek if you are climbing. Extra footwear will keep you on the safer side. Strong boots support your legs on the slopes and enrich the beauty in the pictures you take. In addition, it prevents your legs from getting frozen.

Jacket, sweater & gloves

Winter wears top your checklist. The sweater, jackets & gloves add warmth to your body. Keep you away from frostbite, numbness, shivering, cold, and other altitude sicknesses during and after the vacation. Carrying this might be heavy, but wearing it doesn’t make it any.

Beanie caps / Umbrellas

Beanie caps muffle your ears and keep your ears and body from getting cold. Umbrellas will be the major saviours in the time of monsoon. Carrying a light-weighted multi-fold umbrella will reduce the heavy weight burden and be a rescue factor during the pouring rain. So, it is a must-have.

Medicines

People with travel sickness can carry medicine to eliminate the vomiting sensation while travelling up & down the hill on a vehicle & first aid kit is the most important thing to take.

Chocolates & Nuts for instant energy
