Mountain weather changes quickly. Pack thermal inner layers, a fleece or warm jacket, and a waterproof outer layer you can carry on treks.
Footwear
Comfortable walking shoes with good grip are more useful than new boots. Carry spare socks.
Essentials checklist
- Photo ID and yatra registration documents
- Personal medicines and prescriptions
- Small torch, power bank and water bottle
