Northern areas of Pakistan attract a heavy influx of tourists every year. Whether you visit Murree, Naran, Kaghan or another area, you should be ready with all the essential travel items. It’s never a good idea to shop for things from the market. You may not know, but the price of regular items is doubled or even triple in those areas. So, it’s always a great idea to save money while travelling by packing all the items you need during your travel in Nothern areas. Let me provide you with details of all the things you might need.

Documents

Whether you are a domestic tourist or an international one, you must have your ID card. A Foreigner should keep copies of his ID card, passport and other essential documents. There are multiple check posts where you need to show your papers. It will become the main problem when you don’t have these documents. It’s always suggested to put them first in your travel bag.

First Aid Box and Medication

Another thing you need to prepare is your medicine box or First aid box. If you have a chronic condition or asthma, keep your essential medicines with you. Some ...
... common drugs for cough, fever, flu and stomach ache should be part of your box. Also, keep bandage, ointment, Marham, and scissor in your package. Many hotels in Kalam, Swat, and Murree also have first-aid kit facilities.

Apparel and Shoes

If you travel from April to September or summer, you don’t need layers of clothing. You can pack light. Buy casual cotton clothing so you don’t feel the heat while walking around. Dress for wintertime will be quite different. You require jackets, hoodies, sweaters, woollen scarves, socks, and gloves. As far as shoes are concerned, it would be best if you got canvas shoes or joggers. Heels are never recommended for Northern areas. You can experience a foot injury, if you wear them.

Local Currency

You may travel with your card everywhere, but it’s time to have a reality check. The problem is that many ATMs are non-functional in Northern areas. You need to keep cash handy to avoid embarrassment and hassle during travel. Don’t entirely rely on your credit or debit card. Don’t worry if you have your home country’s currency because many hotels in Murree, Islamabad, and Kalam offer currency exchange services for the guests. When it comes to making payments to hotels, you can opt for online methods. A few hotels in Swat offer such a facility.

Plugs

Foreigners should keep the plug for their smartphones and electronics before heading to Pakistan. The reason is that voltage variations are common in Pakistan. Your cellphone may get fried by electricity due to fluctuations in voltage. If you want to stay on the safe side, keeping your plugs handy is always a good idea. Another thing you should have is a power bank. If your phone’s battery dies on the move, you can use it to keep your phone on.

Your Favorite Travel Things

If you like a specific kind of gum or candy, you should keep them. Some people like triple-ply or double-ply tissue paper. If that’s the case with you, it’s better to have your tissue paper. Also, keep your regular snacks so you can have snacks while travelling and without missing your favourite home town snacks.

Toiletry Bag

You get complimentary toiletries when you book hotels in Swat or other regions. But, usually, they are not of excellent standards. Thereby, it’s always recommended to have a separate toiletry bag to keep your toothbrush, face wash, hand creams, deodorant, mouthwash, booby pins, hair ties, shampoo, condition, personal hygienic items, glasses, face lotion and toothpaste.

A Fully Functional Travel Bag

Don’t buy any bag for travel; instead, get one that brings more pockets. The reason is that you need to keep your stuff fully organized. You can’t just tuck it all in your bag and start travelling. Nothing is more annoying than starting looking for your tooth brush early in the morning. When a bag has different pockets, you can use each pocket to store a specific item.

Wrap up

Finally, you have a complete list of all the items you need to have a hassle-free travel experience. I don’t think you can go and get a thing because shops are everywhere. Be fully prepared for travel and get all essential items with you. It’s how your whole travel experience will be as delightful as you want it to be.
