- We get a lot of questions about how trekkers can reduce their trek costs. We notice that many of them tend to spend an awful lot when it isn’t required at all! So in this video, we have a few of our in-house experts, who have traveled greatly, sharing travel tips/hacks.
One of the primary reasons we started Indiahikes was to make trekking accessible to the layperson. Bringing down the cost of trekking was a big part of this.
Even today, we believe that trekking lends itself to a very pocket-friendly sport. “The more you save from one trek, the more you collect for your next one,” says Sandhya, our minimalist co-founder.

Few things on buying trekking gear cheaper:
Renting may not always be possible, and at many places (such as Sankri) the rent for trek gear at local shops is close to their cost and also poor in quality/dirty. In such cases buying is the only option.
On place to buy them cheap is pvt military goods shops. Every big city/town have a cantonment area, and generally in nearby you'll have a market having many military goods shop catering to personal needs of soldiers living nearby. For eg: Gopinath Bazaar in Delhi Cant., Topkhana Bazaar in Lucknow Cant., Pathankot, etc.
At these shops you can find thing such as Trek pants, shoes, boots, rucksacks, Dry fit tshirts, gloves, warm socks, etc, of good quality and much cheaper prices. Just that colours options are limited to mostly black, green, brown.
Such a valuable tip! Thank you!
As for renting gear, there are several online stores you can rent from. We have our own store, then there are stores like Sharepal. They are very affordable.
@@Indiahikes Thanks for telling about Sharepal, but unfortunately its not available in my city.
Have rented from you on your treks, experience was good just that one needs to book early, sometimes its gets stocked out
Rent equipments! Trek poles, bags that one can be okay to sanitise & share .. or borrow from fellow trekkers who have different dates of travel.... Or thrift them.
Amen to that. So many ppl spend over 20,000 on just trekking gear, which is not required. Renting (and even better, borrowing from your friends and family) is the best way to go.
Renting the travel gears is also a good way to save money and stay sustainable
Thank you so much for all the tips... 😊😊

Is there special app for booking flights? That is cheaper than others...
You can check Skyscanner and Kayak. Both of them are good apps for booking flights.
Is there any tips for how to save money for treks...
I like your videos a lot
Thanks Rahul! :)
It is better to purchase your trekking shoe before the trek or take it on rent?
Definitely better to rent. Especially if you're trekking for the first time. If you make it a regular habit, then it makes sense to buy.
What's new ?
Very nice tips 👌😎
Glad you liked it. :)
nice
Excellent tips...
Glad it was helpful! :)
A train can be a cheaper option than a flight.
How does incognito mode help?
So that the cookies stored on your computer don't give information to the websites so that they can't Jack up the prices based on your search history
Exactly what Siva said. Most websites store your search history and increase the prices the next time you make the same search. When you're incognito, they cannot store the cookies, so the prices will remain un-increased even the next time.
Some tips save money but not time
Hi Gopinath, you can consider the option of travelling by train instead of taking a flight. It saves considerable amount of money.
Carry neutricious methi thepla with you it will easily last 8 days in himalayan weather and just buy a hot tea to accompany thepla that way you can save 3k on food 🤣🤣
