- lesson 01 on backpacking for dummies is what is backpacking. It is a combination of hiking and camping in a single trip. Duration of these trips or treks vary. The fun part about backpacking is, you can do it at your own stride, taking as many days as you like. The fun is up to you

- the 2nd lesson focuses on the backpack. When choosing a backpack, you must focus on strength and comfort. The backpack would need to carry all that you would require in your journey as well as, be comfortable to use. Try putting the backpack on your shoulders and walking to and from within the shop. It will help you get an idea of how good or not the bag is

- next it’s a lesson on shoes and clothes. Comfortable clothing is a must. But also remember if you are planning to visit religious places, museums and places where there may be a need for a certain type of attire, take it along. This is where planning comes in to play.
