🎒 Triptoo’s Essential Tips for First-Time Winter Trekkers

✅ Layer Up the Right Way:
Thermals → Fleece → Down jacket. Avoid cotton — it gets cold when wet.

✅ Footwear Matters:
Invest in waterproof trekking shoes and warm socks. Triptoo recommends carrying microspikes if snow is heavy.

✅ Hydrate Regularly:
Cold makes you forget water — but dehydration hits fast. Sip often.

✅ Acclimatize Properly:
If you’re new to altitude, spend a day in base villages before heading higher.

✅ Choose Trusted Trek Operators:
All treks listed by Triptoo are verified for safety, accommodation, and experienced guides — perfect for beginners.
