Good job. Essential tips for a successful winter trekking...To share my experience - during a patrol in Himalayas, four of the accompanying porters took it easy and removed the sunglasses, causing snow blindness the following day. It was painful. We had to literally carry them on our back till we reached the nearest medical aid post. ...The snow sunlight reflection can blind you, although temporary. Hence, during trek do wear sunglasses throughout the day.
Woolen socks additional pair is priceless. A bigger bang for their size than anything else. Also for rain protection, my personal feeling is an umbrella would also be useful as the first line of defence against rain. I can understand if one is climbing then umbrella is not the thing. But often when steep climbs are not the order of the day or you are at a campsite and are looking to move around, an umbrella is far more convenient than a rain poncho or rain pants and jackets (at camp site) and first' line outside of that. . A smaller foldable umbrella can be squeezed in with only a little bit of a stretch.
Hello mam..the woolen socks that you mentioned and showed in this video..from where Can I get exact of these...I stay in Pune...or can I bye it from Indiahikes
I get very frequent nasal congestion/blocked nose even in slight cold environment, do I need to keep anything in mind while going on Himalayan trek. Thanks
I have a question!? Which one to choose when you are looking for every kind of treks like snow,summer, rain etc. army jungle boots or decathlone waterproof trekking shoes?
The only thing which is confusing me is that whether COVID report is necessary or not some news sources are saying it is needed some are not. Please clarify if any info.
Depends on your other layers Alisa. 500 is good enough if you couple it with 5 other layers. Check out details of what layers to carry here: indiahikes.com/layering-himalayan-winter-trek-jackets/

Don't forget lip-bum in winter unless you want cracked lips.
