There is general understanding that alcohol helps in cold temperatures. How true is this ?
We are planning to visit this region as it is very close to us.
What packing we shall do to be here ? Medicines ?
This is wrong notion and sometimes proves fatal. Alcohol may work fine if someone is indoors, and at low altitude. ut if you are exposed to extreme cold, windy..and you are at considerable altitude…it can prove fatal.
It is never suggested to undertake this adventure.
As for as packing is concerned…depending on age, and time of visit to Beas Kund..you should pack accordingly. Evening and nights are usualy cold and after Sept….it will be chilly. Rains in himalayas is normal feature- so your tents and yourself, should be prepared for that.
Ofcourse you are packing torch, books, but do not forget to pack suncream and muscle ointment.
Rest, is experience ..:D
