@@aayushipandey1219 Hey Aayushi, I haven't preferred any company yet. I am always in my own. But, I have several friends who go with India Hikes and if I will ever decide to go with, I would not trust anybody else than India Hikes.
@@aayushipandey1219 Hello this is Karishma. Are you travel in personal bike or with public trasport to reach that particular place before trek.Suggest me Please.
Good video. Pretty darn close to my layout. I know a lot of hikers use phone apps for hiking and u had your phone on list. I think map and compass or navigation device should be #1 . Again good video. Made me sub😎
If you are a sole wanderer...or in small group...always have a packet camphor, match box and a lighter and swiss knife... always reach the place one evening before you start the trek...learns the details from the local Porters and hire them...
One of the useful things u have mentioned regarding trekking. But I want to add one thing is adjusting according to the hight. Cause it may cause headaches so drink plenty of water.
Nice vid...I would say, the loo roll needs to be triple-wrapped in waterproof layers😁😉🤣. And always keep hand sanitizer close by - I wouldn't touch food without using sanitizer first😜

Hi, please help me to choose right trek pant for chandrashila tungnath trek. This is my first trek dont know what to wear and choose right gear. Please help me out. Thank you
A lot of things have been covered on these videos...some basic stuff is missing so let me cover it for you...while you are travelling to these places you would notice that that the mountains are in V shape....while moving forward you see the it U shape...if you move forward there is no shape at all...let me explain thin V shape resembles River valley...U shape resembles glacier valley... when there isn't any shape then you are travelling on the mountain
My camera system consists of one camera, three lenses, some filters, shutter release cables and one tripod any of which I cannot do away with. Any idea of carrying these things easily?

How about a Lighter... To light a fire? And a knife. Also keep a mini shovel to dig / to bury waste products. Get my drift? Also keep some water purifying pills, or, use filters to procure drinkable water from streams. One more thing might come in handy... Some tapes/ bandages to cover the blisters on your feet. I Don't use woolen gloves, they collect snow flakes and get soppy wet.
Helo Mam, Warm regards to you and your entire team. I just wanted to know where could I buy the track pants the one are wearing? Thank you in advance ☺️
Hi, sure we can do that :) But I would like you be a little more specific about the product recommendations you are looking for. It would be great if you can drop me an email on manasa@indiahikes.com so that we can continue the conversation over email.
Hi Swathi, Do you think that carrying water purifiers would be helpful during treks? My concern is the possibility of catching serious water bourne illnesses while trekking, which would possibly ruin the whole trek experience. While I have only done day treks, I sufficed with carrying 2 ltrs from home. However, I'm quite unfamiliar with camping. Does everyone drink directly from river water or do you all have a purification process?
In the Himalayas, on our high altitude treks, we camp only next to potable water sources. They don't need any purification. But if you're trekking on your own, you could carry a Lifestraw, or perhaps betadine solution. Just two drops of it in your water will purify it.
Thank you Madam. The information about trekking given by you is very useful, it would have been even more useful if you had spoken in Hindi using some English words.

Sunscreen lotion is must for any trek above 12-14k altitude...even for an easy trek one should keep it handy

Xabardast video love you from kashmir
What are the kind of pants shown in the video? It seems to be very functional. Sorry if this question seem a little ridiculous
A multipurpose knife perhaps. A pair of shades too.
No powerbank? I also love outdoor towels on my way.
First tip: buy a pant full of pockets 😂
But your video is very useful for trekkers ❤ specially for beginners
Where to get pants like yours..?
A small knife, or a multitool such as a swizz army knife always comes handy.
Can you suggest which swizz army knife is best
Becoz i don't have any idea about it
@@sandhyachauhan3547 Victorinox makes the best swizz army knives.

Thank you Swathi for the tips. Do you think a small note pad and pen would be of some help, just if I want to make some notes on the way
Absolutely, I always carry one with me! :)
Mam aap ka trek pant lena hai ....kya aap uska link de sakti hain????

You can buy them from Decathlon
u look so cute and i love the way u tell us what all we should take for trekkings. love u swathi from banglore
I've experienced that if you keep a candy in your mouth while trekking you get less thirsty as washrooms are not available in many areas.
Rachana Bhavsar getting caught being dehydrated is not a good thing , better make sure that water is always available when trekking .
A lot of people vomit when they are travelling to higher altitudes...candy helps them to overcome that vomiting sensation...
Devanathan L hello 👋, try to acclimatize to avoid high altitude sickness as feeling nauseous is on of the symptoms .
Nice ma'am
Please share link of pant which you were wearing it will be really helpful

Forget trekking even if you stay in old Manali near manu temple you drink water directly from taps. It’s that pure !
Hand Sanitizer i think should be handy... as new normal 😀

Nobody bathes unless you get a hot water source. Quick dry towels soaked in water can help not sure
How do you keep safe your team from the wild animals?

I have backpain. I believe rucksacks while trekking are going to worsen it. Do you think I should consider light weight duffle bags instead?
Please avoid trekking in that condition. Get fit first.
