I love the way you explain the “hiking essentials” very well. Your content is full of information and can’t wait to dig it into utilizing the resources you provided. I was actually writing a blog on “Hiking for Beginner – The Most Common Questions” and thanks for your point of view help me to find some key points to focus on.

I am from India and was trying to remember things I had missed when packing for my last trip, came across your blog and found it very useful, thank you! You have a wonderful personality and a positive attitude for embracing all the good and bad India can surprise one with. Best wishes for future adventures :)

I am not sure for men really, but for women: nail polish is always a hit & little perfume spray bottle samples to give along the way, beauty items always do well!

I will be staying as a guest with a few families as part of an exchange. Any ideas for gifts I could bring from Canada other than maple syrup?

Don’t worry there are tons are curries that are sweeter based – just tell them you don’t like spice. It’s no problem at all.

Thanks for this blog. It is helping me preparing my travel next January for 2 weeks. I am going to attend my Indian friend’s wedding. I will visit the Golden triangle cities.My question to you is that I don’t like spicy food. Eating lots of it can make me sick.Are there places where I can find non spicy food either restaurants or supermarkets or something?

Most domestic flights in India allow 15 kg checked luggage unless you book “economy saver” or something like that which is a selection of the cheapest seats where no luggage is included. Prices on luggage here are high if you go over around 250 rs/kg which is like 5 dollars per 2.2 pounds.

Do you have any suggestions about trying to carry-on versus checking backpacks on Spice Jet for domestic flights? Trying to figure out how critical it will be to size down.

yes you can get it all here! There’s very little you’ll need you can’t get!

Thank you so much for this article! Your site has been immensely helpful for planning purposes :) is there anything I can’t get in India that I should bring from Canada? Hand sanitizer, tissues, wet ones… ect all that type of stuff I assume I could get in India?

Thank you in advance!

It depends on what you’re looking for. If you want “Indian” clothing you’ll want to buy in Delhi for sure. If you want “traveler hippie” clothing then you’ll get that all over cheaply in Rajasthan. You can go to Fab India in Delhi for cheap nice quality Indian clothing.

With minor clothing adjustments and no need for the sleeping bag your list is perfect for a sixty something first time traveler to northern India. My one question is: should I buy local clothing items when I arrive in Dehli or wait and buy in the other city of Rajasthan.I expect to visit for 21 plus days in the fall this year and do the south next year.
