Hmm having a checklist is a good idea to be followed while going on trekking...It is good to take lot of water bottles filled and empty one's which u can fill later on while trekking...I would advice you to take insect repellent because it really helps..from past experience

Water is the most important thing you should carry with you.Repellents,two pair of shocks,lighter, dry fruits.In case you are not able to make food.Dry foods will give great amount of energy.keep some water filter it will be handy in times.Maps of the place,its very important in dense places

thank you

Almost all backpackers seek to minimize the weight and bulk of gear carried. A lighter pack causes less fatigue, injury and soreness, and allows the backpacker to travel longer distances.Using lighter materials such as special plastics, alloys of aluminium, titanium, composite materials, impregnated fabrics and carbon fiber. Designers of portable stoves and tents have been particularly ingenious.
