Top Winter Treks for 2024 with Indiahikes : rb.gy/nfg6oo
Hey ,is it a good idea to go on a group trek without a local guide?
According to my experience I always carry one more small bag to put used clothes in a separate bag if I have not got it in laundry. Because used clothes can create smell in fresh clothes even if they are in poly bags.
That's a great tip! I relate to this.
Hi Swathi, your videos are very insight ful for us, Thnak you and India Hikes for the effort!! :) :) Lets hope we all trek soon!! :)
Your channel is absolutely fabbb! Thank you so much
This is my first time going to a trip with my friends. Thank you so much for this video, I borrowed a rucksack bag from my sister and here I am! 😝
Super! Hope you have a good trek! :)
hii swathi im very much impressed by the way u are making the videos im going to hampta pass this august so which backpack should i buy quecha forclaz 70 or forclaz 70 easyfit or anyother which is useful for other travellings also
Thank You!
Your all videos are extremely
useful for trekkers.
Useful for trekkers who can understand english language...for those who don't understand english language this all videos are useless... I request Swathi to make videos using Hindi language so all Indian can understand.
How about the hair and other accessories ? For example comb, bands..cameras ?? Etc etc.. Do we need to carry separate bags for them? Btw quite useful video
Very informational video👌👌
Superb swathi mam💐💐
Backpack with airflow back board with steel frame and mesh helps us to carry heavy pack easily for a long time, one such backpack is tufaol tragoose 70 L, this backpack can be carried for any distance without any difficulty, it is very light weight due to nylon material.
Amazing Video , Will get a great help ! Thank you ! 🤘🏼
Thanks for the presentation.
This video is really helpful for me to pack my backpack
Hi swathi thanks for this informative video. I also want to know wat to carry in daypack

What kind of back pack are you using suggest me a good backpack.
one of the most beautiful trek i found was near mcleodganj, Triund trek. amazing view. One of the best life experinces.
Good to hear that you loved Triund Trek, now you can start trekking on more beautiful trails, a bit more challenging and more rewarding.
Like Nag Tibba in Uttrakhand, or Beas Kund from Solang Valle, Manali.
Hi Swathi, what kind/brand was your heaviest jacket that you placed at the bottom of your pack? Thanks :)
What about sleeping bag? And what shoes do you recommend? and what about emergency food? sweets? chocalates?
can you suggest me for hampta pass a sleeping bag ..what kind of sleeping bag do we need ..how mush temperature it can handle
Hello hello. Please tell me where to keep the camera equipments? Btw nice video ✨
It is a good idea to pack things i small bags instead of haven all the things loose i the backpack. That makes it easier to find the things and you don´t need to unpack everything.
True!
And if its in plastic it wd prevent stuff frm getting wet in monsoons if in case water seeps in
Hi Swathi Thank u for the video. For a 9-10 day trek eg Goechala i want to buy a backpack of 50-60 liters so could you please help which one is better in Quechua backpacks ?
Wow. This was amazing.
You don't require food on your treks?
now i know why you're so fit !!!
Wow... Simple and sweet🍬
Ma'am can you suggest me the best brand in rucksack bag
Hi..can u suggest a backpack for a week trek
light to heavy from bottom to top so that you do not strain your back.
Actually its Heavy to light from bottom to top part.Not light to heavy bro.
hey... i got a 100 liter bag... I now think it is much bigger then what my body height is... How can i adjust those straps
... what are my options.
Please suggest a good 55-65ltr bag
Very nice informative video.
Can you help me on How to select perfect rucksack or backpack.? what about mount trekk and other local brand rucksack.??
Well the size depends on how many days you are trekking & for brand, it would be best to explore any Decathlon store. They have a variety and you will also get help in selecting. Also the cost is economical.
I would recommend to purchase atleast a 40L rucksack. If you want to carry your own cooking gear & sleeping bag, min 60L rucksack will be reqd.
Ty so help full
useful information thank you
Kindly share tips on how to lock the backpack..My emerance rucksack is a single zipper and I am unable to lock it..Since I can't carry the bag for cabin Babbage and it needs to be used for check-in baggage for air travel
Nice and Useful...
Only i can see is that friends poster though😝😝
Same here
Overrated thing isn't in essentials
Awesome yaar...
Pls suggest a good trecking pole
hey swathi,love your videos,they are very useful :) what should be the weight of your backpack when you are trekking with indiahikes or other companies where you dont have to carry your tent and sleeping bag?
Hi Neha, thanks for watching the videos! :) The last time I trekked for 8 days, my backpack weight around 7kg with all my warm layers in it. If you can keep it around that, you'll thank yourself on the trek! :)
Here's an article that might help you with what NOT to pack - indiahikes.in/not-take-trek/
I wasn't even looking for this video ! It just popped up on my recommended list . The only reason I started watching this one in particular amongst all other similar videos is because I could see a F.R.I.E.N.D.S poster in the video's thumbnail (hahahahahaha) . Be that as it may , I'm really glad that I watched it coz I have always been looking for a good enough trekker's community to join and I just loved yours . I checked out your website and I just wanna say that I'm pretty certain I'll be taking up all my future treks with you guys . Thanks a lot ! PEACE OUT
How nice to hear this Aaditya! This is one of our very initial videos from many years ago! Glad you chanced upon it -- sounds completely serendipitous! :)
Hope you browse through our more recent content and join us on this outdoor journey in some way or the other!
@@Indiahikes Believe me when I say this , I just spent an hour surfing through your website and now I'm planning to take the " Deoarital-Chandrashila" trek !!! I'm so glad I came across this video . I sincerely thank you guys for coming up with such a thing . I mean there are other communities as well but I've always found them to be poorly organized . So far , your website looks very promising and I just love how comprehensive your site is . Great Job at that too !!!
Just a tip you carry an adesive amount of clothing, even for a cold weather hike.
Thank you
Nice informative
You showed elaborate camera gears in the other video...... but where to pack them?
Hi swathiji.... Please let me know that whether we will be given sleeping bag & tents for Vally of flowers tracking in August batch?
You'll be staying in lodges on the Valley of Flowers trek. There will be mattresses and blankets in the rooms. :)
Are you staying in a mountain hut with accommodations?
what is the price of your bagpack
Where to put sleeping bag and mat?
Good video. Did you missed a raincoat and backpack waterproof cover. From now on I will keep all my clothes in separate plastic bags because last time rain water got inside my backpack and all my unused dress got drenched even though I used a backpack raincover. It was the first day of my monsoon trek. I had to sleep at night in tent wearing only shorts in my sleeping bag, both was partially wet. So guys if you could get plastic bags for your each and every dress you don't have to worry about the rain or accidentally falling in some water stream.
ARUN KUMAR that poncho was the raincoat
Good
Poncho
Change trouser once during a 6 day trek!?! Like what! Dude every second day is a must for the amount of walking that takes place.
Chill
Do I need 2 trekking poles or 1 is good to go, store guy told me to take 2. whats your opinion
Definitely, a 110% two poles. This video will tell you why - th-cam.com/video/7QfcjogvfWo/w-d-xo.html
I would say it totally depends whether you are a beginner or intermediate.
i have a wildcraft cliff 45lts rucksack will be use it as a hand luggage in indigo flight trip if I pack it within max 7kg limit??
Hi Subhajit, we usually check in our backpacks because they don't allow trekking poles, swiss knives, etc as cabin baggage. It's better to check it in than take it as cabin baggage.
hi i wann to ask u that what tyupe of Bag or which Brand Bag should we use for trcks
and which brand Bag Do u use for ur treck
Hi Shantanu, I use the Teton backpack on my treks - the one you see in this video. You'll find a video of it here - indiahikes.com/teton-scout-3400-backpack/
On another note, you'll find details on how to choose the right backpack here - indiahikes.com/choose-right-backpack-trek/
Hi Swathi
In the video is a compact DayPack that you show; Please share the brand and where it is available?
any decathalon store is good to buy them
Which rucksack is this ??
Hlw Swati Di. Thnks 4 ur video. It helps a lot.
But I want to know which rucksack is best.?
Nd What's your rucksack size(in Liters.) ?
Thank You
The backpack in this video is 55L. I'd say that's the ideal size because it gives you the flexibility to use it on shorter (4-5 days) and longer treks (10 days).
Wildcraft, AdventureWorx and Deuter make good backpacks. If you're trekking with Indiahikes, I'd recommend renting our backpack. We've made this with a lot of care to be the best backpack we have used. So you'll save some bucks and you'll have an excellent backpack! You'll find it here - www.store.indiahikes.com/products/trekking-backpack
Swathi Chatrapathy Thnks Di 4 replying.
It will definitely help me.
Hi Swathi! Can I ask you which backpack you are showing? Is it adventure worx or any other brand?
Hi Aditi,
The Bagpack in the video is the Teton Scout 3400.
indiahikes.com/teton-scout-3400-backpack
can anyone recommend good hiking/travel bagpack under 2k budget for around 50-60 l VOLUME?
Where do I take my camera? I have another backpack for that which carries lenses, filters and others. In addition, I also have to carry a tripod.
How you manage if you have a DSLR Camera and other lenses and accessories?
+Malhar Chaniyara Hi Malhar! Firstly, you need to plan what kind of photography you want to do and carry equipment accordingly. Avoid zoom lenses unless you are extremely keen on wildlife photography. You ought to make your gear as light as possible. It is best to carry your camera and lens in a separate bag. A light and padded sling-style bag will make the camera easily accessible. Also choose a monopod over a tripod, or carry a very light tripod that you can put into your backpack. That's how I usually carry my camera.
Thanks Swati for the tips. Another separate bag for camera to be manage with my Hiking backpack? Is it possible.? I'm in landscape and night sky photography for this trip, may be some Macro as well. I must carry my tripod since I want to capture some light-trails and time lapses.
can you help me out for a checklist for a 4 day college tour
Nairobi teaching us how to pack our backpack for money heist 😂
😂😂
Hi Swathi. I am going to a trek to sour tal lake for 10 days. I have one 35 L back pack. Is it too small, or I should buy a new big one..
A 35 litre backpack would be very small for a ten day trek. You'll definitely need something bigger. Go for a 50-55 litre backpack. If you're carrying your own tent, sleeping bags, cooking equipment, etc, then you'll need something bigger like a 65 - 70 L backpack.
And what about sleeping bag?
Informative. Who do you trek with? Are you with any group?
Hi Arjun, I work with Indiahikes - indiahikes.com. We are a trekking community that documents and organises treks in the Himalayas.
Can u suggest me a rucksack under 1.8k..pls..pls...pls...preferable size is 60 Ltr.
How to attach sleeeping bag to backpack ??
Hi Swathi,
What are the good backpacks to buy for beginners?
Untill you get an expert advice from Swathi, checkout available backpacks at Indiahikes website.
For more options, checkout Decathlon store.
Now size depends on how long you will be trekking, no. of days & if you will carry your own camping & cooking gear.
I would recommend a 40L backpack.
If carrying your own camping gear, 60L backpack is a must.
I purchased Forclaz 40L & Forclaz 60L.
HI Swathi could u please make video on how tp choose a ruck sack ........ and the best option available .............and the difference between back pack and a ruck sack
Hi Naveen, thanks for the suggestion. I'll definitely make a video on that.
@Swathi.. Hi.. Can you please make a video on the best bagpack and rucksack ASAP.
Yes please make a video on rucksack
Hi Swathi, thx for the informative video, not just this one but all! looking forward to the Kuari pass hike with India hikes in March. can u send me the bagpack link, where I can buy one ? my 75liters pack will be an overkill for the Kuari hike. thx
Hi, 75 litres is indeed an overkill. I would suggest you go for a Wildcraft Trailblazer 50 litre backpack. It is one the decent backpacks available in India. If you have someone coming from the USA, try and get the Teton Scout 3400. It is the best bag I've used till date. Find a review of it here - indiahikes.com/teton-scout-3400-backpack/
Nice video Tai
#ShivsahyadriAdventures
Hi swathi, can you suggest a affordable 55-65 litre rucksack please. I am going from brahmatal trek, what size should I buy?
A 55 litre backpack would be ideal. What is your budget like? If you have a small budget, try renting a backpack? That would be better. You could try deccanmountainclub.com
Swathi Chatrapathy My budget is around Rs. 2500. What do you think about these mounttrack backpacks which are available on amazon? They are in my budget, plus they come with 2 year warranty and features described are as good as other expensive backpacks
Thanks
Thank you, Chandravadan :) Very kind of you! We are grateful:)
How to contact you
Hii swathi, can u plz suggest a good backpack for one-two day trek!!?
Hi Sounak, for a 1-2 day trek, a small 30 L backpack will do. If you are trekking in the Himalayas over a weekend and need to take all your warm layers, then maybe a 40 L backpack. You'll find some detailed guidelines here - indiahikes.com/choose-right-backpack-trek/
Swathi Chatrapathy thank u very much!! I'm basically sayadri range trekker of Maharashtra!! Now thinking about Himalayan trek!!
and if I am forced to place my rucksack as checked in luggage in flights body is there any way to securely lock my back pack?
You can lock the zips together. You do get locks for that. But most airports don't allow you to lock your luggage. After a security check, they lock it themselves with a tag. So there's really nothing to worry about.
Which brand bagpack you are using
That's a Teton Scout 3400 - indiahikes.com/teton-scout-3400-backpack/
Nice 😇🙏🙏
Hey. How much will this bag probably weigh after putting everything you've put into the bag in the video?
Ideally, it should weight around 6-7 kilos. This is if you're trekking with an organisation and not carrying your own tent/sleeping bag/food. If you are, then your bag will likely be around 12-14 kilos.
what is the volume of this bagpack .?
This particular backpack is 55L.
Hi swathi, please inform, 45 liters bag can sufficient fot 7 days trip ?
50-65 litres
@@SangeesCorner ok
@@subhajitdatta8058 You can manage with 45 litres, but that requires quite a bit of efficiency and practice. If you can, that's great!
Hey swati, this is Aditya . I have choosen the roopkund trek for this summer and got lot of review on going through the trek the himalayas website. I just have a small querry as i have a athletic built body i haven't hit the gym for few months. This will be my first trekking experince. Is that okay which i choose for the trek becuz i want feel my breath with this. Appriciate if u could help me with my decision that i made
Hi Virat it's great that you're planning to go on the Roopkund trek. I'm not sure if Trek The Himalayas has a fitness criteria. We do have one at Indiahikes, which helps guide trekkers which trek they should be doing. Nevertheless, go for the trek only if you're fit - that is if you can run around 4 km in 25 minutes. Whether you have past trek experience or not, fitness is more important than anything.
Thanks Swathi your vedios are very helpful to prepare for the my trekking knowledge . Though this time i am not coming with India trek but next time will seek u guys for my upcoming treks. Keep posting vedios those are really helpful.
What trek bag is this? Give the brand details pls and the price
Swathi is using a Teton Scout 3400 in this video. You could look it up. It's an excellent backpack.
Which bag you are using ..... Mention details plz...
That's a Teton Scout 3400
I have Same Bag....
Which backpack is good to buy
Checkout Indiahikes website for the backpacks the have reviewed & available for sale/rent.
For more options, checkout Decathlon store.
For starters, you may choose a 30L - 40L backpack
Which rucksack you have used ??
This is the Teton Scout 3400 backpack. We've reviewed it here - www.indiahikes.com/teton-scout-3400-backpack/
hi, could you please tell the capacity and measurements of the bag in this video?
It's a 55L backpack. It's a Teton Scout 3400, you'll be able to find more details of it on our website where we have reviewed it - indiahikes.com/teton-scout-3400-backpack/
approximately how much did your bag weigh
Hi Kamna, a well packed trek bag weighs around 7-8 kg
Is it necessary to book a agent before going to trekking for first time?
Hi Ankit, it's better to trek with an organisation first, get the hang of it and then go independently. If not that, start trekking locally and camping independently. After that you could go on an easy Himalayan trek and complete it independently.
If you want to start off with an organisation, you'll find all our treks here - indiahikes.com/upcoming-treks/

Hi Swathi. How to fit a DSLR camera into a rucksack? Will it make the backpack heavy to carry? Mine's a Forclaz 60L rucksack.
