The beautiful snow-covered landscapes on the mountains are irresistible. That is why so many people from across the world trek different mountains and you may be one of them.

If you’ve already decided to set your camp in a beautiful location in your trek. Mountain in climate is different and you need to be prepared for the same. In that case, you must also consider the other essential things apart from the rainwear and innerwear that you may require in your tour for a more lovely experience. 

The section below will discuss some essential things that you must carry with you on the trek.

Backpack

Backpacks for your trek trip are necessary and must be strong. They should have enough space to carry along things that you might need during the trek. Consider the pockets the backpack you have and need when before buying it. Also, if you’re going on a long trek, then I would suggest you go for 40-60 liters of Backpack.

Raincoat

You must carry a raincoat with you on the trekking trip, as the weather in the mountains remains unpredictable, and there could be chances of rain. Therefore, to ensure that your trip does not suffer from rain, it is better to have a raincoat for women and men.

Innerwear

The right pair of innerwear for men and women are the most necessary during a trek. You must avoid wearing cotton innerwear and choose to go for breathable and moisture-wicking innerwear. The latter are made from materials like merino, wool, and polyester, which are great for your skin.

Water Bottle

You may or may not get accessibility to water during your trekking. And keeping yourself hydrated during the hike is very much important. So, you must have a water bottle with you for the water break as it could make you feel fresh. Apart from this, you could even take a thermos with you, if you want to drink hot water.

First Aid Kit

First aid kit is essential, and it must include the basic antiseptics, painkillers, bandages, instant pain relief spray, antifungal powder, ointment for shoe bites and energy drink powder etc. With your own first aid kit, you won’t have to rely on anyone else to treat your injury. In fact, your kit can prove to be helpful for others. 

Walking Pole and Head Torch

A walking pole is a stick that can provide you with excellent support during your trek. So, it would help if you carried a walking pole on your trek trip. Moreover, you would be on the safer side if you had a head torch with you on the trip.

Trekking Shoes

Trekking cannot be done without trekking shoes. You must always carry your waterproof trekking shoes, as they are comfortable for your feet and have an excellent grip. You should also pack a pair of casual shoes for when you have reached the camping site. 

The Bottom line

Trekking is a fun activity, but you also need to be extremely careful. Therefore you need to thoroughly plan your trekking adventure beforehand. One of the most important things is packing your backpack. The backpack should contain all the necessary items that you need during the trekking.
