Well, we have a solution to this problem and we have the perfect way to pack smart. From here you start! Pack only the essentials and leave the rest behind. And to establish the basics, here is a compiled list of things to take while traveling to the hill station.

Woollens - beat the mountain chills

You don't want to freeze in the cold and ruin your trip this way. you can? Then consider adding wool clothing to your priority packing list right away. And no, you don't need to fill out many. Make sure you collect enough to cover the trip and keep your luggage light. We suggest that you bring two coats or two jackets in basic colors for a week-long trip. Or you can invest in good pullovers, sweaters, or body warmers. Be generous with wearing gloves, two hats, two pairs of socks, and a scarf! If you miss any of these, order them on Amazon and get great deals!

Good shoes - invest for a pleasant walk

We all know that mountain trekking involves a lot of hiking, even if you don't plan on trekking. And the wrong shoes can spoil the fun. So, wear the perfect shoes for hiking in the snow or climbing hills. Better yet, choose the perfect shoes for traveling to the mountains. Leave loafers and heels at home, you won't need them here. Just an extra pair of slip resistant soles will do the job!

Medicines - to keep you away from cough or cold

Keeping essential medicines on hand is a smart move! This should be the only "just in case" item in your luggage. If you have motion sickness, take your medicine with you. Also, keep your cough and cold medications on hand, in case you need them. It is one of the most important things to carry no matter where you travel in the world. Prepare a first aid kit (small box) consisting of all pertinent or prescribed medications before setting out on the tour.

Chocolates - for warming up

Are we giving you a real excuse to buy chocolate? Well yes, we are. While we generally consume chocolate to satiate our sweet tooth, it is also a great energy booster. Traveling to the hills is fun, but it's a daunting task and you may feel the need to carry around. In this case, you can eat a piece of your favorite chocolate. Also, feel free to grab some delicious chocolate if the cold limits you. It will help you stay warm. So next time you order chocolates, first order online for discounts and second order some separately for the flight.

Skincare - say goodbye to dehydrated skin

If you're wondering why skincare is on the list, here's why! At higher elevations, the climate is cold, dry, or very humid. Our skin can be tested in such changeable climates. Therefore, preparing for these situations is a good decision. Sunscreen plus a good winter cream can be a skin protector on your hill trip essentials. Take the right products for your skin with you and stop worrying about them on the trip.

Umbrella - stay prepared for uninvited rainfall

The hike up the mountain can be a bit uncertain in terms of weather. Unwanted rain and snow can be romantic (especially if you're with your lover), but you should still be prepared with an umbrella. Imagine without an umbrella in the rain! And imagine how a perfect vacation photo would spoil. Get a lightweight umbrella and handle the rain like a pro. A reminder here, a multi-folder will take up less space in your bag!

Thermal water bottle - because hydration is a must

The hot spring water bottle is one of the most important things to take with you while traveling to the hill station. Although you can find several food stalls and bars along the way, it is advisable to bring your own drink. You should stay hydrated throughout the trip, especially if you are going on a difficult trip. Fill the insulated bottle with any beverage of your choice and drink it on the go. While a regular water bottle can do the job for you, lightweight insulated bottles will keep your drink warm for a long time.

Power bank - so that your phone run out of charge

Your phone will do a lot of things while traveling. From browsing websites and surfing the Internet to clicking pictures and listening to music, the device will be necessary throughout the journey. Of course, you can't charge your phone halfway. In such a situation, a power bank will come to your rescue. With the power charger, you can use your phone freely without worrying about running out of battery.

Cash - what if atm’s are unavailable or crowded?

We're sure you don't want to waste time in ATM queues to withdraw cash on your next trip to the mountain. So, take some cash with you! Relying solely on the cards is not a wise decision during a trip to the mountains. ATMs may not be available or stores may not have card payment services. Also, shopping on the street is easier with cash payment. All of these reasons make it an important item to include on your to-go list on the go.
