But they also come with their fair share of slippery slopes, unexpected downpours, and gear that needs to work overtime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I&#8217;ve seen too many trekkers show up excited, only to struggle because they weren&#8217;t quite prepared for what the rains would throw at them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s exactly why I&#8217;ve put together these <\/span><b>monsoon trek tips<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and a solid list of <\/span><b>things to carry for trekking in the rainy season<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Learn to navigate using maps and compasses as well. GPS or no GPS, local guides are always the best option to rely on. Be cautious of whiteouts as well during monsoon treks. If your trek route has rivers that need to be crossed, plan it for early morning. It is always better to cross a river early when it is calm. Also, be aware of landslide prone areas and avoid them if possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TorchHeadlights_with_Extra_Batteries\"><\/span><b>Torch\/Headlights with Extra Batteries<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Torch and headlights are among those mandatory <\/span><b>things to carry while trekking in monsoon<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if you are planning to take up a night trek. This is also helpful when you are camping overnight during your trek. Do not miss out on packing extra batteries as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ziplock_Bags_or_Plastic_Bags\"><\/span><b>Ziplock Bags or Plastic Bags<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ziplock bags can be reused to categorize and pack your belongings. You can roll up your tees and pants into one ziplock bag, medicines in another, and toiletries in a third. Even electronic gadgets can be placed in one bag. This not only helps to keep things in order (you&#8217;ll not have to scamper your hands through the sack for items!) but also will act as a secondary waterproof cover to whatever is inside. Consider using dry bags for extra protection against moisture.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pocket_Knife_or_Swiss_Knife\"><\/span><b>Pocket Knife or Swiss Knife<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irrespective of the weather you choose to go trekking, toss in a pen\/Swiss knife. The Swiss army knife can come in handy during various situations: from cutting fruits to opening cans.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Toiletries_and_First_Aid_Kit\"><\/span><b>Toiletries and First Aid Kit<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not overlook packing your essential toiletries and first aid kit. Damp rainy weather often results in viral infection or cold. It is always better to carry slips of Crocin\/Cetirizine. You can also keep in handy some balms as well for headaches. Don&#8217;t forget to include motion sickness tablets if you&#8217;re prone to nausea during travel.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Power_Banks_and_Waterproof_Phone_Case\"><\/span><b>Power Banks and Waterproof Phone Case<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not forget to carry power banks, extra batteries, and chargers. A waterproof phone case is essential to protect your device from rain and accidental splashes. Consider investing in waterproof casings for all your electronic gadgets including cameras, power banks, and even lenses if you&#8217;re a photography enthusiast.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trekking_Poles_%E2%80%93_Essential_Monsoon_Trek_Gear\"><\/span><b>Trekking Poles &#8211; Essential Monsoon Trek Gear<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trekking poles become absolutely essential during monsoon treks. They provide critical balance and support on slippery, wet rocks and muddy trails. The extra stability they offer can prevent falls and reduce strain on your knees when navigating challenging terrain<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Trek Insight: Did you know the <a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plantheunplanned.com\/tours\/kudremukh-trek\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"503\" data-end=\"522\">Kudremukh Trek<\/a> turns into a paradise during the monsoon?

It is, at all times, best to choose lightweight and quick-dry Gore-Tex trekking pants or rain pants. You can also opt for nylon ones if Gore-Tex is way over your budget. DO NOT go for cotton pants and tees as they fall in the category of hard-to-dry clothes, increasing the odds of hyperthermia. You can also choose three-fourths or convertibles over long pants to avoid mud stains and splashes.

Choose water-resistant and quick-dry fabrics like polyester and nylon. These materials prevent you from staying wet for long periods and keep your body temperature regulated. Avoid cotton at all costs &#8211; it absorbs moisture and takes forever to dry, which can lead to discomfort and even hypothermia in cooler conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider layering with:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quick-dry base layers (synthetic or merino wool)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Water-resistant or waterproof mid-layers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breathable outer shells<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Convertible pants that can be adjusted based on terrain and weather<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Waterproof_Rain_Jacket_or_Ponchos_and_Rain_Covers_for_Backpacks\"><\/span><b>Waterproof Rain Jacket or Ponchos and Rain Covers for Backpacks<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be it packing for a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantheunplanned.com\/pack-trek-western-ghats\/\"> monsoon trek in the Western Ghats<\/a>, or a few days of the trek where the sky may burst open unannounced, it is always better to be on the safer side and pack a waterproof rain jacket or a poncho.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Why ponchos are superior for trekking:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A high-quality poncho offers better coverage than rain jackets &#8211; extending below your waist and large enough to cover your backpack, keeping both your body and gear dry simultaneously. Most quality ponchos are durable enough to withstand heavy rainfall, offer better ventilation without restricting movement, and are lightweight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also carry a baseball cap, especially recommended for people with glasses, to ward off (to an extent) rain from your eyes. It is not just you that requires to be kept away from getting drenched. Carry rain covers for your bag as well, cover them up before you start on the trek. Now, during a monsoon trek, it is advised to pack frequently used items together, outside. You may also use plastic bags to segregate the items.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Extra_Clothes_and_Towels\"><\/span><b>Extra Clothes and Towels<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always carry towels and extra easy-to-dry clothes. Leave a pair at your campsite. Change into these as soon as you reach your camp, avoid sleeping in wet clothes. A microfiber cloth can be handy for quick drying of gear and clothes.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong data-start=\"714\" data-end=\"731\">Trek Insight:<\/strong> The <strong data-start=\"736\" data-end=\"765\"><a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plantheunplanned.com\/tours\/kumara-parvatha\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"738\" data-end=\"763\">Kumara Parvatha Trek<\/a><\/strong> is often called <em data-start=\"782\" data-end=\"809\">Karnataka\u2019s toughest trek<\/em>!

You can go for either waterproof shoes or really good campus trekking shoes as per your trek trail requirement. Look for boots that are specifically water-resistant or waterproof to keep your feet dry in heavy downpours and muddy conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monsoon treks usually come down with a great toll on our feet. Let&#8217;s face it, even if our shoes are water-resistant our feet would end up a little wet. This, in turn, would affect your skin, causing it to itch and finally would lead to blisters. We can prevent our feet&#8217;s natural oils by applying Vaseline before going off to bed. Also, make it a point to let your feet breathe in-between the trek. You can also carry along amphibian sandals or comfortable slippers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Extra_Pairs_of_Socks_%E2%80%93_A_Must-Have\"><\/span><b>Extra Pairs of Socks &#8211; A Must-Have<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Admit it, how much ever you try to dodge and duck, your feet are going to get splattered. It is always advisable to carry a few extra pairs of socks, including spare socks for emergencies. You may even leave a dry pair at the campsite so that you wouldn&#8217;t have to walk around with wet ones on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pro tip:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Consider investing in waterproof socks.

Hence it is mandated that you carry those tablets which you feel would come in handy. Pack anti-bacterial and anti-fungal creams as well. Anti-bacterial cream protects the skin from bacterial infections that may be caused due to rain, while anti-fungal cream protects from any fungus due to rainwater exposure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mosquito_Repellent_and_Salt_for_the_Leeches\"><\/span><b>Mosquito Repellent and Salt for the Leeches<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The green covers, fast-falling milky waterfalls, playing in puddles, alluring indeed. Apart from tourists, the rainy season plays host to mosquitoes, leeches, and other creepy-crawlies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the monsoon season, the chances of mosquito bites are significantly higher. Cases of malaria and dengue increase during this time, which is why carrying mosquito repellent is absolutely essential for your safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I still remember the time I did my forest trek in search of Neelakurinji at Munnar. That&#8217;s when I figured out the inverse lure-law; the more you try to evade leeches, the more you attract!\u00a0 Sprinkling salt helps detach the leeches. But this is not recommended as there are chances that the leech sting might remain. This, in turn, would lead to a skin infection. Instead, sprinkle Dettol-water mix, odomos, or tobacco-coconut oil mix.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turmeric_and_Coconut_Oil\"><\/span><b>Turmeric and Coconut Oil<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is the leech bite itching badly? It does happen, at times, that the leech marks start to itch and the urge to scratch creeps in. That is when you can apply coconut oil or Aloe Vera cream to get relief from that burning sensation. Also, apply turmeric after freshening up as this helps in quicker clotting of blood.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hand_Sanitizer_Lip_Balms_and_Sunscreens\"><\/span><b>Hand Sanitizer, Lip Balms, and Sunscreens<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put a pocket-sized bottle of hand sanitizer in your rucksack while packing for your monsoon trek.

A hydration pack can be very convenient during your trek. Monsoon is the time when water-borne diseases spread. Take utmost care while refilling bottles.

Don&#8217;t forget to zip in your tent to avoid creepy-crawlies from getting in. Also, double-check all the nook and crannies for any unwanted visitors awaiting your return. Consider using a sleeping bag liner for extra warmth and cleanliness.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ClothesShoe_Fresheners\"><\/span><b>Clothes\/Shoe Fresheners<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are talking about trekking and camping out in the rain here. Let&#8217;s face it! You are bound to get wet at some point in time. And believe me when I say that neither damp clothes nor shoes smell good. Be on the safer side and pack shoe\/clothes fresheners. You can also dump in a lightweight, portable clothesline as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Let_Your_Gear_Breathe_After_the_Rain\"><\/span><b>Let Your Gear Breathe After the Rain<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After trekking through rain-soaked trails, you need to let your gear dry out properly to avoid the growth of bacteria, mould, or even bad odours that develop while gear is still moist. Moreover, moisture trapped inside clothes can cause skin irritation, blisters and chills if the trek is at a higher altitude. Wait for the rain to subside and for sunlight to appear. If your backpack has gotten wet, first unpack everything from it, then dry it in broad sunlight.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Collect_Dry_Firewood_Well_Before_for_Your_Monsoon_Trek\"><\/span><b>Collect Dry Firewood Well Before for Your Monsoon Trek<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What&#8217;s a camp without a campfire and the spooky stories to go around?
