Juices do NOT count as water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Back bag<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Where are we going keep our\u00a0precious bottle of water? In our\u00a0hands? Nope! Hiking is NOT jogging on a track.

Light lunch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hikings are not a feast. Biryani-like types of lunch are not recommended. You&#8217;ll want something light, easy to carry, easy to consume while listening to the water falling and admiring the view. Don&#8217;t overcomplicate your own lives \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. First Aid Kit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mishaps can and will happen.\u00a0No denial in that. It&#8217;s part of the thrill actually. However, \u00a0we need to take maximum precautions so that no one gets hurt. A first aid kit is necessary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Shoes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Forget about Sandals and high-heels. We need high-gripping shoes to be able to cope with sandy soil, hard soil, dry rocks, wet rocks, algae covered rocks etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Optionals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>6.1 juices\/fruits: for quick energy<\/p>\n<p>6.2 Cameras<\/p>\n<p>Do take pics for your own personal records and social networks. But but&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Don&#8217;t spend all your time watching through your 2 inch screen. Look up! The view is much more amazing. 4K is nothing compared to what our eyes can see.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Items NOT to take<\/h2>\n<p>Everything not listed above is unnecessary and will add weight to carry and can make your hiking experience unnecessarily painful. Before adding anything\u00a0in my bag, I think whether the items will eventually get consumed or not? At the beginning of the hike, you&#8217;ll have the most amount of energy. You can carry a heavy bag. As you progress, your energy level will decrease. The more difficult it will be to carry a heavier bag. Basically you want a situation like this:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3414\" src=\"https:\/\/nayarweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-01-at-12.10.13-PM.png\" alt=\"screen-shot-2016-12-01-at-12-10-13-pm\" width=\"595\" height=\"365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nayarweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-01-at-12.10.13-PM.png 595w, https:\/\/nayarweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-01-at-12.10.13-PM-300x184.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Ok. Here&#8217;s the non-exhaustive list:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Makeups: Eye liners, Foundation. Really no need for these. A smiling face is prettier than uhm&#8230;everything.<\/li>\n<li>Sunscreen: Apply beforehand. No need to add a bottle of 400grams in your bag which will not get used up completely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Want to go Hiking at Les 7 Cascades\u00a0but don&#8217;t know\u00a0how to proceed?<\/h2>\n<p>Feel free to contact me for if you need an experienced guide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hiking is a very physical activity which can be hard but very much\u00a0rewarding.
