Your hands will come on contact with unwanted spots either by climbing or looking for support. A personal hand wash and bacterial powder will reduce the chances of you falling sick while on a multi-day trek. And, it is utmost important to protect your skin from UV rays. We have seen some terrible cases of sunburn that remain for quite a few days. 

  • Personal Hand wash
  • Bacterial powder
  • Sunscreen lotion with the recommended SPF 
  • Lip balm with suitable SPF ratings 
First Aid Kit

As safety always comes first, it is always advisable to carry a basic first aid kit. There are chances that you may suffer tiredness, body pain or mild fever and if you are hiking, it is certainly very hard to find a market or medical store nearby to get some first aid or medicine. The various things that must be a part of your first aid kit are as follows:

  • Pain killers 
  • Personal medicines if any
  • Crepe Bandage 
  • Vitamin Pills 
  • Antiseptic Cream 
  • Insect Repellant 

Always remember that trekking requires a considerable amount of research work, taking the help of professional guides & trek operators. What is most important is to have all the trekking essentials packed to make it a hassle-free memorable experience.
