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.

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!

While a regular water bottle can do the job for you, lightweight insulated bottles will keep your drink warm for a long time.

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.

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.
