Nice vid...I would say, the loo roll needs to be triple-wrapped in waterproof layers😁😉🤣. And always keep hand sanitizer close by - I wouldn't touch food without using sanitizer first😜
Lovely, you covered most of it and while listening, I wrote down a few things which came to my mind, which I usually carry on my hikes. Later on I saw most of these were covered by others, mentioned under comments.Thanks again for the very useful info.
Good video. Pretty darn close to my layout. I know a lot of hikers use phone apps for hiking and u had your phone on list. I think map and compass or navigation device should be #1 . Again good video. Made me sub😎
Thank you Madam. The information about trekking given by you is very useful, it would have been even more useful if you had spoken in Hindi using some English words.
Backpack with airflow back board with steel frame and mesh helps us to carry heavy pack easily for a long time, one such backpack is tufaol tragoose 70 L, this backpack can be carried for any distance without any difficulty, it is very light weight due to nylon material.
Hi, we do not recommend doing Himalayan treks wearing crocs. If you're trekking with Indiahikes, you can rent shoes on our rental website. Otherwise, check out this article where we have listed down budget shoes that trekkers recommend - indiahikes.com/6-budget-shoes-trekkers-are-using
Our photographers follow these points to save batteries on the trek. We hope it will help you as well on your next trek. All the best :) 1. Carry power bank according to the length of your trek and shooting style. (If you're shooting lots of videos, you will need more power in power banks) 2. Keep your phone on flight mode and battery saver mode during the entire trek. 3. In a very cold temperature, batteries tend to drain faster, so while sleeping switch off your phone and keep it inside a sleeping bag. It will help to save battery. 4. Always keep your power bank covered with woolen cloth, such as muffler or keep it in a woolen sock to keep in away from cold temperature. 5. Don't watch your photos and videos, that you captured on the trek, again and again. Save batteries for shooting and not reviewing. 6. Some mobiles have the option to lower the screen resolution. Keep the resolution as minimum as possible.

Hi, please help me to choose right trek pant for chandrashila tungnath trek. This is my first trek dont know what to wear and choose right gear. Please help me out. Thank you
My camera system consists of one camera, three lenses, some filters, shutter release cables and one tripod any of which I cannot do away with. Any idea of carrying these things easily?
Hi Swathi, Do you think that carrying water purifiers would be helpful during treks? My concern is the possibility of catching serious water bourne illnesses while trekking, which would possibly ruin the whole trek experience. While I have only done day treks, I sufficed with carrying 2 ltrs from home. However, I'm quite unfamiliar with camping. Does everyone drink directly from river water or do you all have a purification process?
In the Himalayas, on our high altitude treks, we camp only next to potable water sources. They don't need any purification. But if you're trekking on your own, you could carry a Lifestraw, or perhaps betadine solution. Just two drops of it in your water will purify it.

Hi, sure we can do that :) But I would like you be a little more specific about the product recommendations you are looking for. It would be great if you can drop me an email on manasa@indiahikes.com so that we can continue the conversation over email.

I've experienced that if you keep a candy in your mouth while trekking you get less thirsty as washrooms are not available in many areas.
Rachana Bhavsar getting caught being dehydrated is not a good thing , better make sure that water is always available when trekking .
A lot of people vomit when they are travelling to higher altitudes...candy helps them to overcome that vomiting sensation...
Devanathan L hello 👋, try to acclimatize to avoid high altitude sickness as feeling nauseous is on of the symptoms .
Trekking poles/stick
Hi Swati , loved your videos ...watched many ...could you please give me the link to buy the treck bag you are using ? The EXACT same one

Helo Mam, Warm regards to you and your entire team. I just wanted to know where could I buy the track pants the one are wearing? Thank you in advance ☺️
You can buy them from Decathlon
14. Sunglasses
15. Infinity stones ( in case aliens come and attack, you can vanish them easily)
😂
Thanks for sharing the info. I find it useful for my prepration to trek Kashmir Great Lakes end of August
Glad it helps :)
I have backpain. I believe rucksacks while trekking are going to worsen it. Do you think I should consider light weight duffle bags instead?
Please avoid trekking in that condition. Get fit first.
Spare batteries for head lamp
You didn't mention sunglass or antiglare glass, is that not that important for base camp treks?
