Pack List for Luxury Mountain Adventure Travels
So, what should you pack on your trip?
AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. And Only The Most Essential Things.
• Packing light is a cliché, yet one that has a lot of truth to it. THE MORE I TRAVEL, THE MORE I REALIZE I DON’T NEED A LOT OF STUFF. Everything I need now fits into one or two luggage.
• ALWAYS USE A TRAVEL LUGGAGE WITH WHEELS as this will minimise weight to be carried and you can travel with ease.
• LUXURY HOTELS PROVIDE CLEAN TOWELS AND HOTEL TOILETRIES THAT YOU CAN USE. If you are short of any item or need something generic that you forgot, there are shops or pharmacies you can purchase these from at any major airports, cities or towns.
• PACK LESS, USE THE HOTEL LAUNDRY OR WASH SMALL, LIGHT CLOTHING ITEMS THE NIGHT BEFORE, and these things should be dry the next day or so.
• ORGANIZE YOUR THINGS INTO ZIPLOC BAGS OR SMALL TRAVEL POUCHES. Organization simplifies packing and is key as you travel from one place to another.
What Should I Wear? What Should I Pack?
LAYERING OF CLOTHES
