Living out of suitcase
There are different rule for different travel and seasons. I have a Echolac briefcase which I use on official tour for a day or two. I had been to Katmandu in summer with the same briefcase. It contains my both clothes as well as office files.
I have a side bag which I use on official tours for more than one day in winter, it can carry an extra slippers also. I generally have different set of toiletries kept inside the side bag. It's always kept ready for travel. Please don't forget to carry soap paper while traveling by train.
I used to visit my branch office directly from main office without any language. I kept one night dress at the guest house. I had been to many places in single cloth for a day or two.
I traveled Rajasthan a state of India for 28 days wearing a jeans trouser. My luggage did not bother me for a single day. I also didn't feel any scarcity of dress. Moreover I bought one local traditional jacket to carry home.
Actually a minimalistic approach is the best strategy for hassle free travel.
Trecking in Himalayas
One person can carry a load upto 15 kg (should not be more than 20% of your body weight) even while trecking back bending stiffness of mountain at a altitude of 18000ft (5486 M).
Always try local food to avoid carring ration. Always take ration from last available point of purchase. We use to carry home made cooked food tinned from Elmac to break monotony.
A fifty liter rucksack will have enough space to carry all essential things including one sleeping bag for a treck upto two weeks.
Here is an example of Himalayas high altitude treking gears
| Item | Weight |
|---|---|
| Rucksack: Camp M4 – 40 L | 1 Kg |
| T-Shirts, trek pants, inner wear, socks, caps, gloves etc. | 2 Kg |
| Warm Jacket: Mountain Hardware Windstopper Tech Fleece | 650g |
| Windproof/Waterproof: Jacket | 370 g |
| Sleeping Bag 15 Deg F | 1.3 Kg |
| Accessories and Medical Kit | 1 Kg |
| Water: Hydration pack/bottle of 1.5/2 L | 2 Kg |
| Miscellaneous: GPS, Notebook, pen, Binocular etc | 1 Kg |
| Camera with additional batteries | 1 Kg |
In total 10 Kg and this is how it looks after packing.
In general all ration food grains, tents, ice axe and ice sticks are carried by porters. One should carry personally some dry fruits, candy etc

Thank you for reading my post.
Hello friend greetings to you. Hope are having good time there.
You loos a professional travelers. It seems you have great knowledge of traveling. I really really like it too. I do love to go to the natural beautiful places and hilly areas.
I prefer a rucksack over a suitcase, because rucksack is easy to carry. We can keep all the luggage we want.
I wish you very best of luck here in the contest.
Thank you do much for the appreciation.
Oh my word! If I think packing for traveling to Mozambique is bad, I can just imagine what you must go through when you have to pack for an adventure like this.
In your case, there is no room for error and no turning back.
I think the packing can be almost be as stressful as the journey.
Good luck with the contest!
Thank you so much ma'am for the encouragement and complement 🙏🏾
The pleasure is all mine!
It is nice to read posts that I can learn from.
Thank you again for your generosity.
You are a true traveler. The way you well arranged the plans of travels and how you take your items in necessity into packaging avoiding baggages is a way of showing how you love traveling. My mom till this moment hasbthe echolac bag right frim her secondary school days. The only thing is that she doesn't use them for travels anymore. For you using them for official tour especially shows how much you love that bag .
Your traveling essentials are also intact with a good tabular list of them all.. The pair of shirts, socks, caps, gloves, jacket, GPS, notepad, pen, waterproof or windproof jackets, accessories, medical kits, water bottle snd your camera ith additional batteries. Are you confidently sure that all these things will fit in a rusack bag? It might have been doing so, but I still found doubts..
Thanks for sharing and good luck with the challenge...
Thank you for visiting my post and nice words. Don't doubt it will accommodate all in 40l sack.
Yes he's indeed a true traveller as he has a very nice choice. We really need to travel with our important items that always makes life easy for us so that we can be comfortable.
I see that your mum doesn't use those bags for travelling anymore bug rather for official tours, that's really great.
¡Holaaa amigo!😊
Tu equipaje es el ideal porque, además de utilizar una excelente maleta y ni decir la bolsa, te brindas la oportunidad de contar con lo esencial durante el viaje, en tu lugar de destino y, cuando vengas de retorno.
A veces creemos que armar una maleta es incluir la ropa y otros productos pero, esto realmente amerita una logística jajajajaja.
Te deseo mucho éxito en la dinámica, un fuerte abrazo💚
Thank you so much for the support.
Hello dear friend, @impersonal
Thank you for visiting my post and sweet words.
Glad to hear that you keep traveling to different places and pack your bags accordingly for different trips and in them you keep your clothes as well as your office files.You also use a sight bag which you use while traveling in winter.You have also traveled to Rajasthan in your jeans trousers.Really enjoyed reading your blog.🤗💐
Thank you for visiting my post and nice comment.
Most welcome sir 🤗💐.
Echolac used to be dream traveling bag for everyone back then. I could remember when I cried because I didn't have echolac and I refused to travel until I have it.
Getting your items ready and neatly package your bag shows how important traveling is to you and how you enjoy traveling. One could tell from your content.
Success to you!
Tank you for visiting my post and your passion for travelling.
A cordial greeting, I see that you are an explorer traveler of another level, with experience. Traveling alone on explorer adventures is different from a family trip with young children. There is something for everyone.
But it's great to know other people's experiences and to know what I can take on those other level adventures that involve camping, climbing, overnight stays in the open.A first aid kit is paramount and backpacking is king on these trips.
Success and blessings on your travels.
Thank you for visiting my post and insightful comment.
Good morning to you as well my friend, he's indeed traveller with alot of experience, I really love the words he said as they show that he loves travelling.
I also wish you good luck in this engagement challenge my friend.
Hello friend
Using echolac bag and traveling home while buying one traditional jacket shows that you really enjoyed your travel. Success in the challenge my dear friend
Thank you for visiting my post and sweet comment.
A minimalist approach to traveling is very effective. With a ready-to-use side bag and the ability to carry additional toiletries and slippers, you maximize comfort.
Then, storing the evening gown at the destination shows efficiency in planning the trip. The experience of traveling to Rajasthan in jeans and buying a local jacket emphasized flexibility and adaptability.
This strategy not only makes travel easier, but also provides an opportunity to enjoy local experiences more authentically. Remembering to bring soap paper when using the train is a useful tip for a more enjoyable journey.
Thank for reading my post so minutely and intently. I admire your generosity of appropriation.
You're welcome 👏🙏
