4. 1 Litre water bottle
5. Torch
6. windcheater (if travelling during rainy season)
7. Sun glasses
8. Sun screen
9. Camera with proper cover which will be safe in rain
10. Hand towel
11. 1st aid kit - bandaid, cotton, anti-septic cream, pain relief cream, headache medicine, cold/cough medicine, eye drop (if any)
12. Plastic bags
13. Umbrellas (Sometimes windcheater might not be enough)
14. Snacks like biscuits, energy bars
