If you are planning a monsoon trek to the mountains between July and September, here are some essential tips and tricks to keep in mind for a hassle-free and safe adventure.

Monsoon Trek Tips And Trick

Invest In Trek Gears

First and foremost, before heading on the exhilarating expedition, invest your money in good quality and durable trekking gear including a reusable or one-time use raincoat, quick-dry shoes with good grip, and quick-dry clothes to avoid discomfort. Also carry a walking stick, torch, and rope with a hook to ensure utmost safety.

Raincover Is The Key

Mountain rains are often heavy and can drench you and your baggage to the core. Even waterproof bags cannot sustain extreme rainfall (Monsoon Vs. Rainy Season) sometimes. Hence, to ensure your vulnerable items are secure, carry a dry bag for your electronics. You can also wrap your sensitive possessions in a plastic bag.

Carry Extra Items

Despite every precaution, you may end up drenched. To avoid the following discomfort, carry an extra pair of clothes and shoes or floaters with a good grip to change at the campsite if needed.

Research Strategically

Before finalising your monsoon trekking trail and destination, you must thoroughly research the possible mishaps in the area. Check for previous disasters in the region and its weather predictions to stay prepared.

First Aid Is A Must
