Affordable Trekking and Travel Essentials for Weekend Getaways

Weekend getaways are much in demand with working professionals, students, and others aiming to unwind for a bit away from the bustling towns and cities. With increasingly hectic schedules involving work or study, going on long vacations has become difficult for many.

While travelling light is the key to making the most of weekend getaways, carrying the right travel essentials along is equally important for making the holiday memorable.

Let's take a look at some of the most important travel essentials for a weekend getaway.

#5 The Wildcraft Trailblazer Plus 50 Backpack for a Weekend Getaway

A good backpack undoubtedly tops the list of essentials for hoiidayers planning to travel to a weekend getaway. While backpacks come in a huge variety of shapes, sizes, and designs, finding the one most suited to one's needs is of utmost importance. That said, a backpack should be spacious enough to carry just about everything one would require for a trip, and yet not be too large to get uncomfortable on the shoulder.

The Wildcraft Trailblazer Plus 50 has large pockets and is ultralight with well-padded shoulder straps and an adjustable torso length. Just what a weekend getaway traveller needs for a quick sojourn into the wilds.

#4 Wildcraft Men Volga NX Low Ankle Trekking Shoes

Shoes that are non-slippery and offer adequate grip and support on sloping and uneven surfaces are absolute essentials for trekking. Waterproof and quick-drying footwear also enables trekkers to hike through inhospitable terrain without having to halt during drizzles.

Wildcraft's Men Volga NX Low Ankle comes with synthetic uppers, rubber outsoles, medium footbed cushioning and an EVA foam insole. The Volga NX Low Ankle is available at an affordable price and is a great pick for a weekend getaway.

#3 Everyeady DL 89 headlamp

A good headlamp is most important for hikers and trekkers who need to use both hands to climb rocks, hills, or wade through shallow ponds.

The Everyeady DL 89 headlamp has a 90-degree tilt, is easy to mount, can be worn without a helmet and is powered by a Li-ion battery. Travelling in low light or in the dark will no longer be a hassle with this handy product for a weekend getaway.

# 2 Decathlon Forclaz Anti UV Hat

A hat is most essential for travellers who are looking to embark on long treks while seeking to protect themselves from the harsh sun and UV rays.

The Decathlon Forclaz Anti UV hat comes with a fabric that allows moisture generated by the head to escape and takes less than 80 minutes to dry after being immersed in water. Perforations around the temple allow the air to circulate and it meets the requirement for UV protective labelling.

#1 Ambrane Power Mini 20 Powerbank

Keeping one's mobile phone charged is essential for travellers to remain connected with friends and family and also for other essential applications to be available. A quality powerbank is therefore an essential prerequisite for a traveller spending a lot of time outdoors.

The Ambrane Power Mini 20 is a fast-charging power bank which can also double up as an emergency power saver for a laptop. With 35W boosted speed and an in-built Type-C cable for easy charging, the Ambrane Power Mini 20 helps you keep your mobile ready and reachable at all times during a weekend getaway.
