Packing the right things can make your trip easy and comfortable. Here’s a
basic list to guide you:
1. Comfortable Clothes
India is usually hot. Pack lightweight cotton clothes. If you are visiting during winter (November to
February) or going to hill stations, pack some warm clothes like a jacket or sweater.
2. Good Walking Shoes
You will walk a lot when visiting places. Bring comfortable walking shoes or sandals.
3. Travel Medicine Kit
Carry basic medicines for fever, stomach upset, pain relief, and any daily medicines you need.
4. Toiletries
Carry tissues, wet wipes, hand sanitizer, mosquito repellent, and sunscreen. These items are very
useful in India.
5. Power Adapter
In India, plug types C, D, and M are common. Bring a travel adapter if yours are different.
6. Copies of Documents
Keep photocopies of your visa, insurance, and passport. Keep one set with you and another set in your
suitcase.
7. Light Scarf or Shawl
A light scarf can help you cover your head when visiting religious places. It can help protect you
from sunlight.
8. Small Backpack
Carry a small backpack when you go out. You can keep water, snacks, a camera, and important things in
it.
9. Snacks
Carry some snacks like nuts, biscuits, or protein bars. These are good to have during long trips or
when you cannot find food quickly.
10. Reusable Water Bottle
Bring a good reusable water bottle. You can fill it with filtered or bottled water.
