What do I need to pack?

Before you travel:-

Which clothing? - Check temperatures so you bring the right clothing. November to February can be cold, getting down toward freezing in some part. March onwards can be warm and very warm, no jumpers required.

What about electrical accessories? - we highly recommend obtaining a surge protection plug to plug your chargers, computers to. We have experienced the loss of camera charger that almost spoilt our trip, but for one very helpful businessman in Delhi opening especially early to allow us to purchase a replacement.

We would welcome any additional travel tips and advice you might have.
