Tips for winter and snow Trek #tripoto #tripotocommunity #hacks #travel

Before giving the list , I will suggest you few things which will help u have wonderful trek experience.

- Plan ur booking with reputed company ( check reviews mainly negative reviews, because to raise ratings many company hire people to write down positive reviews )

- In many cities and villages ( mostly tourism place ) there will be local people who offer homestays , guide , trekking packages ( I will suggest u to go with locals , as they know their place very well and they explain everything in details , even ur money helps their family )

- Plan trekking according to ur health and fitness. If u have active lifestyle like example u walk , run do exercise then choosing higher altitude treks would be fine ( moderate and difficult treks ). If u are not active u barely walk or do things choose easy treks note : even though u choose easy trek still u need to get active atleast 1 week before trekking.

- Pack things which are essential. See u will not have washroom to do shower so no need to carry shampoos soaps etc. Don't carry alot of clothes to change everyday because u will wear clothes one upon another to keep ur self warm mostly u will not have a place to change ur dress also except the tents u stay.

- Carry some protein bars or snack bars to get some energy and fill ur tummy during ur trek.

Things u need to carry .
1. Dry fit pants - 2
2. Thick T-shirt - 1 or 2
3. Body warmer - 2 pairs
4. Woolen Socks - 4 pairs
6. Thermostat bottle - 1 ltr
7. Trekking shoes/snow shoes ( not boots or woodland shoes )
8. Waterproof gloves and inner layer gloves - 1 pair each
9. Waterproof winter jacket upto -10°/-5°
10. Head cap - 1
11. Sweaters or sweatshirt or poncho - 2
12. Wood  Trekking stick  - 1 ( buy at local areas , don't go for fancy )
13. Waterproof Rucksack ( if u give ur rucksack to mule/porter, then carry small waterproof backpack which will be with u along )
14. Personal medicines and include ( insect repellent ointment , quick pain relief spray , bandage )
15. Moisturizer , lip balm , tissue roll , wet wipes , sanitizer - these are must trust me even though u apply lip balm still due to cold u lips get crack and bleed . Apply lip balm frequently and moisturizer also to avoid cracked and tight skin.
16. Carry sleep bag liner for hygiene issue ( optional )
17. Power banks - 2 according the use of ur mobile or camera
18. Fleece it doesn't stop cold but if u wear under ur jacket u may feel warm. Instead of fleece u can choose to wear sweatshirt or sweater.
19. Shades - must and should ( buy good quality glasses )

I hope this information helps you , these are the things I carried for my 6 days winter snow trek
