💡 Packing Intelligence & Regional Dress Etiquette
🛕 Sacred Space Dress Code
Most Indian temples, gurudwaras, and mosques require covering shoulders and knees. Carry slip-on footwear and a lightweight cotton scarf/dupatta for covering your head when entering sanctums.
🔋 Electronics & Power Protection
Freezing temperatures in Spiti and Ladakh discharge lithium smartphone and camera batteries 3× faster. Store spare batteries inside internal jacket pockets and carry a 20,000 mAh power bank.
💊 Digestive & Altitude Health Kit
Include oral rehydration salts (ORS), probiotic capsules, motion sickness tabs for mountain ghat roads, and Diamox (after physician consult) for journeys reaching elevations above 3,000 meters.
