A vacation in a tropical destination hits
the sweet spot right in between relaxation and adventure. You are at perfect
liberty to choose whether you want to lounge around by the beach, go surfing or
embark on an adventure in the tropical forests. Most tropical destinations
often have something interesting to offer for everyone. No wonder they are a
hot favourite with most people. As soon as you decide on a tropical destination
for your next vacation, the biggest question arises: what to pack? We have got
you covered here. Go through our checklist of all the essentials you need to
pack for a chilled-out holiday in the tropics.
1.
Documents: These are more essential
than everything else as for other items, you can find replacements but without
the necessary documents you might have problems in even reaching your
destination. So be sure to stash these carefully before you start packing other
things.
·
Passports
·
Visas (If needed)
·
Vaccination Details (If needed)
·
Flight Tickets
·
Itinerary
·
Boarding Pass
·
Hotel or Airbnb Confirmation
2.
Clothing: Plan your holiday wardrobe
carefully. Choose cotton clothes to lounge around as the breathable fabric will
be comfortable in the humidity. Also keep polyester and nylon garments for
hanging out by the poolside or beach, as these fabrics will ensure that your
clothes don’t turn transparent after getting soaked. Some essentials include:
·
Floral dresses, short shorts
and tank tops for girls
·
Swimsuit or board shorts

Cover Ups

Socks, Underwear
·
Casual shirt/ tops

Dressy shirt/ tops (a few)

Flip flops or sandals
·
Sunglasses
·
Hiking shoes (if you intend to
go trekking)
3.
Toiletries and medicines: Where the
tropical weather is concerned, be prepared for rashes and sunburns or minor
stomach upsets. To ensure that the fun continues uninterrupted, we recommend
you pack medicines and cosmetics very carefully. The following are the basic
medicines you need in the unfortunate event that you or any member of your
group or family falls sick:
·
First Aid Kit (must include bandages,
alcohol, antibiotic ointment and gauze pads)
·
Prescription Medications
·
Analgesic / NSAIDs
·
Antihistamine / Allergy
·
Antacids / Stomach Medicines
The right kind
of cosmetics can go a long way in preventing and treating sunburns. Your
toiletries kit must include:
·
Deodorant

Lotion
·
Facial Moisturizer
·
Sunscreen / Sunblock
·
Lip Balm with Sunscreen
·
All-Around Wipes
·
Makeup Remover
·
After Sun Lotion

Aloe Vera Gel
4.
Gadgets: For all of us these days
leaving home specially for the holidays, without our beloved gadgets, is simply
unimaginable. A significant part of the holidays will after all be dedicated to
clicking those perfect selfies and recording fun videos, to share on social
media or even to retain special memories of. We recommend carrying all gadgets
in waterproof bags, because you do not want them to get soaked and then have to
go through the hassle of recovering all the collapsed data. Few must-have
gadgets for a tropical vacation could be:
·
Waterproof Camera + Charger
·
Regular Digital Camera +
Charger
·
Smartphones + Chargers
·
Tablet + Charger
·
Extension Cord
·
Power Bank

5.
Miscellaneous: Once you are done packing
the essentials, there are some extra items you could always carry. These
include a portable water bottle to maintain your hydration level and also
reduce plastic usage, microfiber towels for quick drying and a tote bag to
carry all the beach essentials.
This was our list of all the basics you
need to take on your next tropical vacation. Have you planned your choice of
