[@rachanabhavsar]

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.

[@waxonwaxoff6094]

Rachana Bhavsar getting caught being dehydrated is not a good thing , better make sure that water is always available when trekking .

[@devanathanl9468]

A lot of people vomit when they are travelling to higher altitudes...candy helps them to overcome that vomiting sensation...

Thank you Swathi for the tips. Do you think a small note pad and pen would be of some help, just if I want to make some notes on the way

[@Indiahikes]

Absolutely, I always carry one with me! :)

[@1975abhik]

A multipurpose knife perhaps. A pair of shades too.

[@amitabhakassap7339]

How about a Lighter... To light a fire? And a knife. Also keep a mini shovel to dig / to bury waste products. Get my drift? Also keep some water purifying pills, or, use filters to procure drinkable water from streams. One more thing might come in handy... Some tapes/ bandages to cover the blisters on your feet. I Don't use woolen gloves, they collect snow flakes and get soppy wet.

sunscreen is a must for high altitude track.

[@Learning2050]

Can you put list , so we can just take it to shop and get things.

[@rohankumarjha9187]

Where to get pants like yours..?

[@Sneha-mk3gf]

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?

[@Indiahikes]

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.

[@Sneha-mk3gf]

Indiahikes Perfect. Thank you for responding. Appreciate it :)

[@Ishaajaytravelvlogs]

Forget trekking even if you stay in old Manali near manu temple you drink water directly from taps. It’s that pure !

No powerbank? I also love outdoor towels on my way.
