Often, travelers pack our bags with loads of clothes
and other items for our trip, not realizing about essentials items. This is one
reason they face challenges while traveling in other countries. India is a
special country with diverse culture and climate, thereby it is important to
carry a few essential items on your trip to make it easy and comfortable. India is a diverse country with mountains,
deserts, jungles, beaches, etc. As a country, India may offer you challenges,
thereby you shall always be prepared.
Here is the checklist of products to pack, that I have
curated for your trip.
Personal Water Filter
Though it is highly recommended to drink bottled
water, there could be times when you may not find it. In such situation, a
personal water filter may be of great help. A personal
water filter not only weighs less but is also inexpensive. You can
also carry a Micro-filter
Bottle Set.
Toilet Sanitizer Spray & Seat Covers
Hygiene is a major problem in India and with that kind
of population, cleanliness of public toilets is hard to maintain. I would
recommend doing your stuff in the hotel, well before you leave for sightseeing.
For emergency use, carry both sanitizer and toilet
seat covers to be safe and hygienic. Also, you can pack a female
urinary device, that helps women to pee just like men.
Mosquito Repellent
You read it right. India has a varied climate; hot,
rainy, cold. So just to protect yourself from mosquitos, carry a bottle of
mosquito repellent.
Hand Sanitizer & Paper Soaps
This is yet
another important thing to carry on your trip to India and shall be in your
handbag at all times. While traveling, it is not possible that you may find
the facility of soap everywhere. Also, just to maintain your hand hygiene both
sanitizer and paper soaps are imperative.
Universal Travel Adapter
We all carry our laptops, mobile phones, and camera on a
trip but often forget that every country has a different voltage outlet. With a universal travel adapter, you will be able to charge your all essential gadgets.
Zip Lock Bags –
They are important in keeping your food items and accessories
safe and reachable. They don’t let your food be soggy and you can have it any
time with full confidence as it is also away from the dust.
Emergency Light & Radio
If you are planning your trip to rural India, it is
quite possible you may not find electricity and phone network. In both the
cases, the use of these two items comes as a savior to remain to enlighten in dark
and to remain connected to know what is happening in the country. In case, not
emergency light, then carry a solar-powered inflatable light.
Sunscreen
Pack this without any second thought. India is hot and
humid and the sun can scorch your glowing skin at any given point of time. Sunscreen
will protect you and moisturize your skin.
Combination Locks
Will be honest here, that you may come across Thugs and
many other anti-social elements in India. While you may keep your eye and ear
open, but carrying a combination lock on your trip will help you be protected.
A Solar Charger
One thing that you may find in abundance in India is Sun
rays. Thus, carrying a solar charger is an equally good idea to keep your mobile
running at all times. Alternatively, you can also carry a power bank.
Dust or Antipollution Mask
India has dust and it may cause irritation or allergy
while traveling. The pollution mask helps to stay away from both and also save
you from the sun.
Umbrella:
If possible, you can either buy this from India itself
or pack your own. It is advisable to have it in your handbag with the kind of weather
condition we have in India
