Dos’ –

• Make copies of all your documents: It is essential to keep extra copies of all your documents along with your hard copies. God forbid, just in case you forget or miss out on any of your documents like your identity card or any other cards, you should have your soft copies and photocopies as well. Also, this will be of great help in case of stolen documents. Bring one duplicate and store it independently. For emergencies, you can also leave a copy of all your documents with your parents, just in case of an emergency.

 

• Carry your electronic gadgets/devices: Spending a little extra on your electronic gadgets like your mobile and your camera, while going on a trip is essential. Carrying a camera is important because you would not want to sit idle and do nothing. Create memories by clicking pictures of yourself and the scenic beauty where you are going. Keeping extra cords and batteries is also essential so that you do not have to roam here and there looking after cords and batteries. A mobile phone is always a must.

 

• Carry your first-aid and medical box/pouch: In case of any health emergency, it is important to carry all your medicines (basically the general ones like for vomiting, fever, diarrhea, etc.) always refer to your doctor’s prescription before you plan any travel. If you are traveling hills and you know that you tend to puke, you should keep all your medicines handy. Headache and stomach upset are some common health issues that can crop up any time while you are traveling. Hence, it is always beneficial and essential to carry your basic medicines and first aid for extra safety.

 

• Do plan your trip during the off-season: The best inquiry to pose while considering the slow time of year travel makes this season the low time/off-season of the year. It’s up to you to decide whether or not the savings are worth dealing with less-than-ideal weather or missing out on seasonal events.

• Do not travel during the peak hours: Avoid traveling during the rush or peak hours. This will not only burden you with expenses but will prove to be a hectic trip. Taking a small break during the off-season is advisable.

Hence, to avoid the weight of the luggage, the best thing you can do is to repeat your clothes. Nobody is watching you that what you wore yesterday. Hence, the best option is to pack fewer luggage.
