Packing List Requirements
Since this is a tour with many participants without much luggage space
we encourage everyone to take on the challenge of packing light.
Each girl should be able to carry ALL of her own belongings in one go.
The following is a packing list of what they should bring and also a list of what will be provided.
Each Kishori Yatri will bring:
- 1 Duffel bag : specific duffel bags will be purchased for the tour,
please collect them when they are available for $20 each.
- 1 Back Pack : bring your own average size back pack.
- Bedding: Sleeping bag (should roll as small as possible), travel pillow
(half the size of a regular pillow) and a twin size sheet.
Packing list
Everything should fit in the duffel bag and your back pack. This is a Vaishnavi tour.
Please pack accordingly. We will be doing laundry twice on the tour.
