Winter breaks are always exciting. With Christmas and New Year around the corner, people love to travel during the winter. We all need a break from our monotonic routine. And what’s better than long vacations? So if you are planning a holiday, here are 15 Winter Travel tips and essentials you must carry in your bag.

Well, winters vary in different parts of the world. While some winters offer pleasant, chilly weather, some are harsher and far from a winter wonderland. That’s why it is vital to be well-prepared.

Here are 15 Winter Travel tips for this winter break. Take a look.

1. Thermal

The most important thing that you need to carry is thermal. These will keep you warm and snug. Opt for woollen ones if you are heading to zero temperatures, as these work best.

2. Boots

Keep winters from taking a toll on your fashion game. Do not forget to wear sexy boots to enhance your overall winter look.

3. ChapStick and moisturizer

Winter brings along the problem of chapped lips and dry skin. One should always carry a lip balm to keep your lips moisturized and a moisturizing lotion to bear the winter dryness. Men, it’s for you too.

4. Heat packs

Not every human being is the same. Some are more resistant to the cold than others. Some people catch cold faster than others, and if you are among them. It is essential to carry a heat pack in your bag.

5. Sunscreen – Yes! Yes! It would help if you carried it.

Studies have suggested that you need sunscreens during the winter season too. The sun continues to shine despite the cold weather, and UV rays continue to batter the earth (and your skin) during winter. So, it is important to keep sunscreen handy.

6. Scarves

We often overlook scarves, but they are essential in winter weather. A scarf helps to retain the body’s natural heat by protecting the neck.

7. Medicine

Infections are expected during the winter season. So, one should always remain prepared. Always keep some medicines with you to fight the common cold and flu. As they say – It’s better to be safe than sorry.

8. Razor is a must

If you are going to travel for a long time, it is essential to keep a razor with you. Remember to carry the refills. After all, you cannot afford that extra hair.

9. Earplugs or book

There is a strong connection between travelling and songs. Remember to carry earphones because some introverts dislike sharing their playlist. You can also bring a book along. It will make your travel soothing.

10. Sanitiser

In case you want to pick your favourite dish in between. So, carry a sanitiser.

11. Raincoat and Waterproof camera bag

The weather can be unpredictable sometimes, so invest in a raincoat and a waterproof camera bag for your camera to make the most out of the rainy days. The last thing you want on a trip is to damage your equipment.

12. Torch

From camping to late-night treks into the forest, a torch will help you take the new roads. Keep a torch handy, and it only takes a little space too.

13. Notebook

While trekking or camping, you won’t have power plugs or a power supply. Thus keep a notebook handy to note down any experience or information that might help later. Jot down your experiences to share them later.

14. Flip Flops & Shoes

They are the most comfortable footwear to travel across beaches, markets etc. Whether it is a walk to the beach or a trek into the greens, these flip-flops will be your best friend to commute. If you are trekking on mountains, then you must keep trekking shoes to have a good grip while walking above cliffs.

15. Inflatable pillows

Travelling anywhere in the world may involve long road drives or a night in the camp. Whatever the situation, these inflatable pillows will be your sleep’s best companion. You can fit them in your bag’s side pocket as they are very compact and take up much less space.

Plan your itinerary and start packing for an adventurous trip. Backpackers often hit the road, and most of the time, it is unplanned. Thus, remember to keep these things handy religiously for a comfortable journey.
