Things You Should Pack for Bus Travel during Winter | Shanker Travels

Traveling during the winter season can be both fun and tiresome. Cozying up under a blanket with a book in a comfortable seat on a long journey is a lovely experience. However, fogs during the winter months limit visibility, which causes an unwanted delay in the journey.

Shanker Travels values its customers and intends to make your bus travel in Kanpur and Lucknow extremely comfortable. If you are planning to travel by bus during the winter months, here are some tips which can be of great help to you.

Carry Your Own Blanket

Most luxury bus service providers and travel agents in Kanpur and Lucknow provide their own blanket to customers. However, in most cases, they are not washed properly (except from reputed transport services in Lucknow and Kanpur) and are used by different people over a period of time. Carry your own blanket, if you wish to avoid any contact with unwanted germs or virus.

Pack Earplug

Ear plugs can be a saving grace when you are planning an overnight bus trip. Usually Indian buses play loud music or badly dubbed cinemas to meet popular demand. Besides that, noises from ringing phones, people's conversation and traffic can turn your journey into a horrible nightmare if you do not take sufficient precaution.

Bring Something To Do

Unless you have not slept for 3 nights in a row, chances are slim that you will fall asleep immediately. If you do not want to overhear some family or office gossips of your co-passengers or watch a boring movie, we suggest you bring your own book or music which you can enjoy in a bus.

Pack Light And Keep Your Valuables Close

Whether you are traveling alone or with family, do not bring too many bags and plastics on-board. Avoid keeping things in the overhead bunkers as most of them are usually open and a sudden jerking halt can throw your valuables to the floor and before you can realize your camera or laptop can break into pieces. If you have heavy luggage, keep it in the luggage locker and keep your small belongings like purse mobile phones etc. all to yourself. This way you can avoid losing them and won't end up leaving them behind in a hurry.

Water And Skin Care Products

If you are planning to travel during the winter months, it is advisable that you carry things like lip balm and skin cream to avoid getting cracked lips or skin during the journey period. Also, water shall keep you hydrated and help you to stay relaxed.

Medicines

If you are suffering from cold or cough problems during the winter season, carry adequate medicine as coughing during your journey can be a very painful experience. Besides it can be a cause of great irritation for your fellow passengers who might be trying to get some rest.
