How To Choose The Right Backpack For Your Trek | Trekking Tips | Indiahikes

[@pradkphotography]

Well, when I trek, my camera gears occupy much space and I can't also do away with them. There remain one dslr body, three lenses, some filters and one tripod. Photography is the main reason why I began trekking. Please suggest, what kind of backpack will be suitable for me.

[@dipitbhatt7224]

90L (55L personal stuff + 35L camera equipment)

[@dipitbhatt7224]

Just see how many litres is ur camera bag and add that to 55 or 60

Hi @pradkphotography, I am Pritish, Filmmaker at Indiahikes. I would suggest you to carry 50 + 10 ltr, I have done explorations with 50 + 10 ltr backpack, while carrying my camera gears and drone with me. Keep your personal things as minimum as possible, you might have to adjust there, but it will help you be nimble on your feet to move quickly and capture photographs.

@@dipitbhatt7224 I have one 90 litre and I went with that to Kuari Pass. It seems and feels huge.

Nice practical and informative video.Thanks Swathi.

[@Indiahikes]

Glad you liked it!

[@siddharthaasal]

Solid stuff, can you also make a video for DIY trekkers?

[@souravdutta1096]

Front jip is very useful..,.. At the time of resting or when we r at tent front jip give us access to those items which are bottom of our back pack without disturbing the upper items..... This is my personal experience....

[@sowmithrawulwar2823]

what about Tripole walker pro 60 litres ? Please give your opinion.

[@rajeevpsingh]

Hi Swati. If there is a porter carrying most of load and the trekker would be carrying only what you need during the trek of that day before reaching the tea house. What size of the daypack do you suggest ---30L or 40L. I guess one would be carrying as gear fleece, rain gear, water bottles and photography equipment and some small miscellaneous stuff. Appreciate your response.

[@Gggrennn]

40L would be ideal. Infact the porter is carrying all the load, even a 30L would be fine. Most 30L bags at Decathlon feel larger than 30L. Hope this helps

Hai swati,I am 50 I do one day treks maximum taken 3 day trek to agasthiakoodam,Kerala.First time to 3 day trek my backpack weight is about 5 kg,I got tired soon .So during second time I reduced the weight to 1.5 kg and found the teek easy and enjoyable. So my question is whether I can trek like that in himalayan trek like kedar kanta or dayara bugyal ?

[@vipulgupta]

Those treks are atleast 5-6 day treks, so the clothes and stuff you need would weigh much more than 5kg as per my understanding. So if you want to enjoy and not bother about weight then better take a porter service in those treks. I have seen people do that, and then they just walk with virtually nothing to carry almost. Indiahikes does give that option if you inform them from before. You can check with them, I am not from Indiahikes.

[@sattursenthil]

@@vipulgupta Thanks for the detailed information about how to travel lightly,will write to india hikes and get full of information regarding porter option.

Hi Druv, that shot was taken at our Indiahikes Jungle line Campus in Manali, from where our Manali treks start.
