Hello divya, Oh, so many first-timers miss these! πŸ‘‡ Rent, don’t buy gear – Trekking shoes, jackets, and poles can be rented at base villages. Saves tons! πŸ₯ΎπŸ§₯ Join local trek groups – They're cheaper and more authentic than big-name operators πŸ™Œ Off-season = low prices – Try shoulder months like May or late Sept. Less crowd, better deals πŸ”οΈ BYO snacks + meds – Energy bars, ORS, painkillers... tiny costs add up in the hills πŸ«πŸ’Š Water bottles + purifiers – Avoid buying plastic bottles. Use iodine tabs or filters πŸ’§β™»οΈ Stay with locals – Homestays > hotels. Warmer experience and cheaper too 🏑❀️ Bonus tip: I found a lot of these hacks from real trek stories on TravelStoriz. Worth checking if you’re planning your first Himalayan hike! πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈπŸ“–
