Hey,

well its my first time to india, and iv got an idea of what to take..

pocket torch
mozzie net
micro towel
digital camera
thermals
sleeping bag
waterproof jacket
underwear/socks/toiletries
neck pouch for passport etc
lonely planet book

im only taking a 36L , as im a small build, but iv got good small stuff (sleeping bag etc) so iv still got a bit of room. Wasnt really going to take clothes, cos i thought id buy them over there, salwar kameez.. Im going to travel everywhere i can get to in three months comfortably

What do you think, and ideas?

Which three months will you be there? You might want to buy and break in a pair or two of comfortable walking shoes before you leave for India. Also consider a small first aid kit, and shower shoes (plastic thongs).

also i have some presciption sunnies, not sure if its worth taking them.. if they got stolen..

Take sunscreen, too.

I would lose the sleeping bag and add a first-aid kit. The latter is off course possible to put together when you arrive in India. In any case: if you find out that you need something you can probably get it in India.

Yes I agree that a first-aid kit of some sort should be included. You might want to consider taking immodium, rehydration sachets and possibly antibiotics (although I guess you could also get them in India, but personally I prefer to know I have them on me if I need them).

Chandra

In Norway you won't get antibiotics without a perscription. And I would certainly not take any without consulting a doctor..!

Don't even consider not taking the shades! You are heading for TROPICAL SUNSHINE. Take a good sunhat too.

Don't weigh yourself down with medicines you might never need, but have a sticking plaster and a headache tablet or two (which you might need on the plane...) so you don;t have to go out and look for them when you need them.

Gee this is like those team building games where teams are narrated a story of a shipwrecked crew in a lifeboat and given a list of things they have to choose from to carry with them till they are rescued....

mozzie repellent in tropical strength as well as a mozzie net. it is useful to have rollon and spray so you can cover all the bits.
have a wonderful trip.
imodium - definitely. but you can buy it a lot cheaper in india.
inflatable pillow if you need a proper pillow. most of the places i stayed in provided a thin brick, my travel pillow was one of the best things i took.

rangss
