Things to Keep in Mind while Traveling to Mountains | Tips for mountain trails hiking | trekking
October 24, 2019
Traveling to the mountains is
quite trendy these days. Especially youngsters, they love to do trekking or
climbing mountains. After all, this is the best way to enjoy or spend some
quality time with family and friends.
On the other hand, mountains have a kind
of peace that no other place has. In my experience, mountain traveling makes
one forget everything and feel like out of the world. In this extremely crowded
world, thankfully mountains have still retained their beauty and thus they have
their unique importance which makes them a must-visit place.
But sometimes when
we climb to mountains, we used to forget too many obvious things and guidelines
and the result of this you find yourself in a tricky situation. And thus it
important to have a post which describes all the things one should keep in mind
while traveling to the mountains. So, check out the complete list below
describing each and everything in detail:
1. A Pair of Good Shoes
As we are talking about traveling
to the mountains, it becomes very important to wear comfortable shoes as there
is too much walking involved. No matter how many clothes you carry, with the
wrong shoes, you will not be able to enjoy your journey. This is my message to
all the girls, if you want to travel to mountains, please leave your heels,
platforms at home. Carry a good pair of shoes or boots to make your trekking
comfortable. Yes, you can carry an extra pair of ship-proof slippers which you
can wear all the time and they won't cause you any pain.
2. Dry Fruits and Snacks
3. Swiss Knife
One of the best and multipurpose
tools I have found to date. This tool is extremely beneficial and serves many things
at once. This little piece of handy toolset has proven very handy in many
situations and thus it is the best tool to carry while traveling to mountains.
In a trekking tour like the kullu manali tour,
this tool will help you out in many tricky situations. Not just for trekking
but this tool is the best-proven tool for other trips as well. Keep this tool
with yourself for sure.
4. Power Bank/ Charger
I know traveling to hills is so
much fun and I am sure you all want to capture those beautiful views on your
phones. But one thing that a lot of people forgot to carry is the Mobile
charger or Power Bank. In the mountains, there is always this electricity
problem and the phone networks are really poor which causes the battery to
drain very fast. When you are trekking, it's not possible to come back to the
hotel frequently. So the best thing in this situation is to always carry a
power bank and charger. You need your phones for so may propose like to
navigate maps and to check the weather. And with a power charger, you can
freely use the phone without having to worry about its battery.
5. Skincare Creams
In the Mountains, the weather is
very harsh. The cold and dry air plus the direct sun rays on such high altitude
can lead to dryness and itchiness of the skin. So, it important to prepare the
skin for all such climatic changes.
Carrying the right moisturizer and sunscreen is the best solution in this
care. So don’t forget it.
6. Cash
Last and the most important thing
to carry is Cash. Popular hill stations are crowded during seasons which are
why the ATM is out of money most of the time. Well, a lack of money can cause
you a lot of inconveniences and in my suggestion, always carry cash. I know
that many places have digitalized, but there are may shopping vendors who don’t
use cards or make online payments. Carrying cash is the only solutions to such
situations so don’t forget it.
