4 Things You Need To Carry When Travelling To Himachal Pradesh With Your Family

• Sunscreen And Lotion

This is a must. Most important reason why carrying a sunscreen is highly advisable is because snow not only reflects the sunlight but also intensifies it. Sunlight can cause severe sun burn if sunscreen of suitable spf (sunscreen protection factor) is not used. Usually in hills a sunscreen of SPF50 is preferred.

Cold air blowing at higher altitudes may feel quite soothing, but this air can actually dry your skin. So don’t forget to carry a suitable moisturizing lotion as well. The skin of your kids is more prone to dryness in cold weather. So carry a lotion and sunscreen which suits your entire family.

• Identity Proofs

Forgetting identity proofs is something we all have done. But going on a trip to Himachal Pradesh (or any other state), make sure you do not commit this mistake, even if you are packing up travel bags in a hurry.

Government IDs are asked almost everywhere – from airports to hotels to amusement parks to buying tickets for cable cars to buying entrance tickets to temples, mosques and churches. Fortunately, these days you documents uploaded in Digi locker are considered valid.

For a stress-free trip, better put your Aadhar Card and Driving License in your purse or kit you have decided to carry. It is also advisable to keep a scanned copy of your Aadhar on your mobile and email id.

• Medicines

Booking Himachal Pradesh tour packages from Kolkata, Bangalore, Gujarat, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai or Bhubaneswar is a sort of investment. You surely don’t want to waste it by falling sick during the trip. Some of you may also be on regular medicines for BP, diabetes, thyroid or something else.

It is quite possible you may not get the same medicines everywhere on your trip. Many tourist spots in the state are far from the main city where finding specific medicines may become even more challenging.

The best alternative is to pack your regular medication and also keep emergency medicines for problems like altitude sickness, for diarrhoea, and for fever and cold.

• Camera, Battery And Power Bank

Bringing your own camera and ample batteries will let you capture every breath-taking sight so that you can cherish those for years to come.

You also need to ensure that your phone stays on throughout the day. So don’t forget to carry the phone charger and, maybe, fully-charged power bank.
