How Much to Pack for Your Trip
Calculate the number of outfits, toiletries, and essentials based on trip length, climate, and activities.
Indian Travel
Domestic: 3-4 kurtas/shirts, 2 pants, 7 underwear। International: same + formal outfit। India-specific: mosquito repellent (Odomos!), power bank, ORS packets, basic medicines (Crocin, Digene, Imodium)। Train travel: lock for luggage, bedsheet (Rajdhani provides), snacks।
Carry-on Only
7-day trip in cabin bag: saves ₹1,000-3,000 per flight (IndiGo/SpiceJet baggage fees)। Wash every 3-4 days।
The biggest packing mistake: packing "just in case" items you never wear. Studies show travelers wear only 60-70% of what they pack. Before adding anything to your suitcase, ask: "Will I definitely wear/use this at least twice?" If not, leave it. You can buy almost anything at your destination if needed.
