6 things to pack for high altitude trek

By Apurva P

1

Food

Foods such as nuts, energy bars, and mini chocolates can be perfect snacks during the trek to keep up your energy levels. Also, carry enough water on the trek to avoid dehydration.

2

Waterproof trekking shoes

When purchasing trekking shoes, opt for high-ankled, waterproof ones to prevent injuries and ensure comfort in various conditions. Carry sandals for relief after trekking.

3

Jackets

Choose jackets based on trek weather conditions: down jackets for minus-zero temperatures and rain jackets for downpours. Keep them easily accessible in your rucksack.

4

Muffler and gloves

Protect your neck and hands during cold treks with woolen gloves and scarves. Use scarves as pillows in sleeping bags for added warmth.

5

Sunglasses and trekking poles

Carrying sunglasses and trekking poles is crucial for snow treks to prevent snow blindness and ensure comfort on challenging terrains.

6

Headlamp

Trekkers should use headlamps for hands-free convenience during nighttime activities, and wear caps during the day to prevent sunburns while trekking.
