Pack healthy snacks

Pack light, healthy snacks like nuts, seeds, fruits, granola bars, popcorn, makhanas, and rice crackers for on-the-way cravings and hunger.

Dress comfortably

Pack light

Try to travel with less luggage. Everywhere you go, carrying bulky travel gear can add to your weight and cause discomfort.

Safety products

Women need to stay safe while travelling. Carry a safety kit with a pocket knife, pepper spray, whistles, and stun guns.

Hydrate
