Things to Carry For Hemkund Trek

1. Do you like to carry that backpack that can be torn during your trip? Exactly no. Nobody wants to create a mess by carrying a torn backpack. So if you already have a bag, check it properly from all sides and if you have any doubts, replace it. Your backpack must have enough space which can hold all the necessary stuff.

2. It’s good to carry floaters or sandals to help you move freely at the camp or hotel. Apart from this, you should have high-quality trekking shoes. They should be lightweight, sturdy, and have a good grip. When your trek is more than 10km from one side then always try to buy a new pair of shoes.

3. Medical kit, woolen clothes, pair of T-shirts & pants, water bottle, small torch, waterproof/windproof jacket, raincoat, hand sanitizer, lip balm, and cold cream are the things which must be in your backpack.
