Trek Gear & Preparation
Pack right, prepare well, trek easy
Good gear is not about spending the most — it is about carrying the right things for the terrain and the season, and knowing how to use them. These guides cover the kit that actually matters on Sahyadri and Himalayan trails, plus the quick checks to run before you leave.
Start with footwear and your pack, add a proper first-aid kit, then run the pre-trek checklist the night before. If you still have gear you own that you would rather not carry, our Gear Shop and route pages note what each trek really needs.
Footwear & Traction
The single biggest safety upgrade on wet rock is the right shoe. Here is what to look for and what to avoid.
Packing & Kit
What goes in the bag, in what order, and the one kit you should never leave behind.
Monsoon & Protection
The wet season needs its own kit — traction, cover and leech protection.
Before You Go
Five minutes of prep the night before prevents most trek-day problems.
