The Basic Packing Checklist for a Trekker

Ask any veteran traveller and they'll tell you packing is an art which no one has been able to master to their contentment! The thumb rule for packing is to lay out all the things you intend to take, then pack half of it. In order to help you, we have complied The ultimate packing check-list for trekking. We also have a downloadable single-page pdf for you, should you prefer the old-school style of ticking on check-boxes with a pen. Should you still have queries, shoot us a mail!

We advise that you check the weather conditions before packing.
