1. The Ultimate Packing Checklist

The weather in the mountains is unpredictable. Layering is your best friend.

Clothing & Gear:

• Heavy Woolens: Even in May, temperatures at Kedarnath can drop near to zero at night..

• Rain Protection: A good raincoat or poncho is better than an umbrella in windy mountain passes.

• Footwear: Hiking boots with good rubber grip and high ankle support.

Health & Personal Care:

• Skin Care: High-SPF sunscreen and lip balm (the mountain sun is harsh).

• Medical Kit: Bring some motion-sickness pills, some altitude-sickness pills and some cold pills.
