For a rainy day

Sometimes the best travel companion you can have is yourself. If you are a person who does not like following fixed itineraries, hate clicking selfies, love to sample local cuisines and enjoy backpacking, then travelling solo can be a rewarding experience for you. 

However, the monsoon can play spoilsport if the right precautions are not taken. 

Therefore, before you pack your bags and get set for a vacation with yourself, read these tips shared by Goomo, one of India's leading omni-channel travel-tech companies, to tackle monsoon woes like a pro! 

Go waterproof: If you have made up your mind to experience greenery in its full bloom and enjoy the rains to its fullest, then ensure that you carry a waterproof backpack, a good raincoat and umbrella before you set off for your trip. After all, you don't want to miss out on the fun element because you forgot to arm yourself with waterproof essentials.

Carry zip-lock pouches and plastic bags: While you have set your mind on some adventure trekking in the rains, you don't want to unnecessarily worry about your expensive gadgets getting soaked in the rain. 

Avoid street food: While you may be tempted to try out the crunchy and piping hot bhajiyas and chicken momos from the roadside shop, resist your temptation and opt for hygienic food. Always ensure that you carry a bottle of boiled water or packaged drinking water and a few light snacks with you.

Pack a first-aid box: This is one of the most important essentials to be packed in your travel bag. The probability of slipping and falling on the road or even catching a common cold in the rainy season is high during this time of the year. —ANI
