•    Plan

Before you head out, you need to plan a trekking trip in India realistically considering your preferences and needs. Start by deciding how much time you want to spend in the outdoors, a day, few days, a week or even more. The duration of your venture will decide what and how much gear or equipment you will need.

Are you interested in an easy walk in the outdoors over a day or two, or a trek that would involve covering undefined trails, rocks and more with the help of a compass and map. Next, decide on the difficulty level, easy, moderate or demanding. A high difficulty level trek might not suit beginners the best. 

•    Prepare

Make a list of everything you might need on a trek/hike and then start to collect them. A pair of good quality, high-altitude trekking shoes that are sturdy, have good grip, have ankle support and can handle snow. A backpack with high capacity, usually 50-60 litres, good hip support, shoulder support and one that has quick access pockets. The right clothes, combinations of which can withstand both warmer and chilly temperatures as well as rains. Caps, socks, gloves etc. are also advisable to carry when going on a trekking tour package. 

Accessories can include a trekking pole, toilet kit, cutlery kit, personal medical kit, important documents and more. 

•    Trek
