Things to Carry

1.Trekking Shoes- Shoes that are sturdy, have good grip, have ankle support, and can handle snow.

2. Rucksack & Day Bag pack - Make sure your backpack has good hip support, shoulder support, and quick access pockets.

A day bag pack will help you carry your tiffin box , water bottle and mobile while trekking. 

Trolley Bags are Not Allowed

3. Clothes –
•    Wearing layers is the mantra in the mountains. Layers give you maximum protection from all elements. You will need at least 5 warm layers (Insulin layers). You will need at least 1 pair of inner thermals, 2 light fleece layers, 1  light sweater, and 1  padded jacket. Ensure your padded jacket has a hood as well.
•    A minimum of one pair and a maximum of two pairs of trek pants should suffice for this trek. Wear one pair and carry one just in case it rains/snows. Trek pants with zippered cut offs at the thighs are very suitable for treks. Also, choose quick-dry pants over cotton.

Trek pants with zippered cut offs at the thighs are very suitable for treks. Also, choose quick-dry pants over cotton.

4.Mandatory Accessories:

1.Sunglasses- Sunglasses are to prevent snow blindness. A small overexposure to direct sunlight on snow can lead to snow blindness (about a half hour’s exposure). That’s because fallen snow is like thousands of mirrors that reflect direct UV rays. So you need sunglasses with UV protection.
Buying Tip: Try getting sunglasses that wrap around instead of those that have openings on the side. Even peripheral UV ray exposure is not a good idea.  

2. Sun Cap

3. Synthetic Hand Gloves Get synthetic hand gloves that have waterproofing on the outside and a padded lining on the inside. If you find the combination difficult to get (not likely), wear a tight-fitting fleece hand glove inside a synthetic hand glove. Hand gloves are mandatory on this trek.  

4. Woollen Cap - a woolen head cap that covers your head and ears is absolutely essential.

5.Socks - Apart from three to four pairs of sports socks, take a pair of woolen socks. Sports socks give you cushioning plus warmth. Again the mantra is to wear synthetic socks or at least a synthetic blend. Cotton socks soak in water and sweat. They are very hard to dry. As for woolen socks, they help you to keep warm and snug in the night. If you cannot get woolen socks, wearing two sports socks serves the purpose as well.

6.Power Bank ( Strongly recommended as the campsite runs on Solar energy hence is weather dependent) 

7. Water bottle
Make sure you bring 2 water bottle   & a thermal water bottle for hot water. 

8. Medication (As per medical conditions if any and is subscribed by a doctor).

9. We are located in the middle of a wildlife Sanctuary so there are bound to be insects please try carrying an insect repellent if possible. 

10.Extra cover for your electronic gear items/Valuables.

11. Quick Dry Towel/Towel

12. Torch/headlamp

13. A tiffin box with a spoon for packed lunch is Mandatory we try reduced usage of plastic/paper as much   as possible .

14. Poncho/Raincover

15. Do not leave plastic wrappers(chips,chocolates etc) behind while on Trek and yes! don't forget your "Mask" ofcourse!
